Zendaya was scrolling through her social medias and seeing what was new.
Not much had changed since the last time she had checked.
There were tons of pictures of her, pictures of her as Mj, pictures of Tom, and pictures of her and Tom together.
The hashtag Tomdaya was trending on both Twitter and Instagram and headlines with their names covered her phone screen.
Normally she scrolled past them all. Most of the headlines and articles were filled with tons of false information.
She knew better than to believe what anything or anyone on the internet said.
One particular headline, however, caught her eye.
The headline read "BREAKING NEWS: ACTOR TOM H. IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER AWFUL CAR ACCIDENT".
Zendaya looked at it again, frowned, but kept scrolling.
Shortly after running into that headline, she found another similar one. She ignored that one too, but they kept coming.
They all said something about a "Tom H" who was in the hospital fighting for his life after a car accident.
But, she knew better than anyone not to trust them.
Or, at least she thought she did.
Zendaya left the apps and called Tom. She wanted to tell him about these ridiculous articles.
You won't believe the headline I just read! she imagined herself saying to Tom as soon as he picked up the phone.
Tom didn't pick up after the first ring, or the second, or the fifth.
That's weird, she thought to herself. He always answers my calls.
Zendaya thought nothing more of it, and carried on with the rest of her morning.

Zendaya spent the rest of the day relaxing–something she didn't get to do often.
She had called Tom a few more times to see what he was up to. She had texted him as well, but to her surprise, he didn't call or text her back.
Zendaya was starting to get a little worried about her boyfriend. If he didn't answer her, he'd usually text her no more than thirty minutes later and let her know that he was busy and that he'd talk to her later.
To clear her mind, she went back on her phone.
She hadn't touched her phone since she saw those crazy articles about Tom.
More and more popped up, so she finally clicked on one.
The article was horrendous and it honestly scared her. She didn't want to read anymore so she shut her phone off.
I'm sure he's fine. He'll call me later.

It was later now and still nothing from Tom.
To make matters worse, people kept sending Zendaya more of those articles. Even Tom's own brother, Harry, had sent her one.
Immediately after he sent the article, Zendaya called Harry.
"Hey, dude, what's up with all these articles about Tom?" Zendaya asked.
