Because He Loves Me

004

You spent a week at Haz's, thankfully you were basically fine the next day. You were glad that Grayson went to work for the week, because you haven't gotten to spend a lot of with Haz, but now you felt close as every. You had mixed feelings about Tom, but all good feelings. You liked, maybe even loved Tom as an actor, but you didn't really know him as a friend. But the celebrity feelings were intermixing with knowing him as a friend so you didn't know where you stood with him.

You were just sitting on the couch when Tom and Haz came in, watching tv. Gunner was asleep on the floor, but jumped to attention when he heard footsteps. You rolled your eyes at Gunners actions, Tom quipped. " He's becoming quite good at his training, hasn't he?"

" Best in his class." You lie, quite sarcastically. You were a bit annoyed at both boys actions, but didn't speak up in fear up being hit. It hurt to know that your fear of Grayson has spread to friends and family.

" What's wrong, Y/N/N?" Haz asked, sitting on the couch a few seats away from you.

" Nothing, just tired." You lied, and felt bad because you were secretly glad that Haz sat away from you. Tom sat in the middle, making you draw your feet towards yourself.

" Hope not too tired, love. If you want, and your up for it, there's going to be a marvel party and I'm allowed to bring guests. I'm going to bring you and Haz."

You nod, you weren't a big fan of parties, but you were a big fan of Marvel and their actors. You thought about it, Grayson might be mad if you went, but what he didn't know couldn't hurt him. So you nodded, " Yeah, I'll come but I'll need clothes from my house and probably to put Gunner away."

" I can take you, just tell me when your ready." Haz said.

You were getting ready at Haz's, since you didn't want to get ready at your house. Tom told you it was casual so you were dressed in ripped/non-ripped jeans, a white t-shirt with Mickey Mouse ears. You slipped on a pair of blank converse/flats, and grab your phone from the charger after getting desired percentage. You kinda felt bad about leaving Gunner in his kennel, but you needed some alone time, as much as you loved him. 

" Alright, you ready to go?" You asked the boys, who played on their phones on the couch. They both looked up and nodded. The drive was silent beside the radio and all of us singing. When you got to the house where the party was located, you realized it was only a get together, and only marvel actors plus you and Haz.

Taking a deep breath in, you got out of the car and followed Tom to the door. You felt a little uneasy about Haz being behind you, but you immediately felt bad because you knew he would never do anything to you. You tried to calm your nerves but failed when the door swung open and Chris Evans greeted Tom and Haz. Clinging to your own arm and deciding whether or not to jump into the bushes and pretend you were never here and make a run for it, but sadly, but not, Evans had spotted you, " Who's your friend."

" Evans this is Y/N, Y/N, I'm pretty sure you know Evans."

You walk forward and shake Evans out stretched hand, " Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you."

" You, too." He smiled warmly at you, then opened the door all the way, letting us into his house, you assume. You followed Tom and the sound of laughter to a large living room filled with most of the actors from marvel. The guardians were missing besides Chris Pratt, all of black panther was missing and so was Vision. You took that in with one sweep of the room, more might have been missing but you were too busy fangirling and freaking out. But only on the outside. Tom introduced you, since everyone knew Haz. You forced a smile and waved.

" I thought she would have freaked out by now." Robert joked. Everyone laughed as the three of you sat down on the large couch.

" Oh, trust me, I am on the inside." That caused more laughter, which eased the knot your stomach made when you first met Chris.

" Are you going to introduce us, Tom?" Anthony asked, crossing his arms.

You give a short laugh, covering your smile with your hand, " I'm Y/N."

" I'm assuming you know who we are?" Robert asked with sass and he gingerly placed his hand on his chest.

You decided to take a bold risk, and joke, " Assuming makes an ass out of you and me."

Everyone laughed while Robert stared at you with a small smile on his lips, " Would you like a drink?"

" What do you have?"

~~~

You were having a good time, there a few tipsy people that were extremely fun to watch, especially Paul. Hemsworth sat by you, causing you to flinch and squirm away. He looked at you confused, but you smiled and way about to say something witty when the doorbell rang. Evans got up, saying, " I'll get it."

The door was barley open when a person shoved it open. Grayson slandered in, obviously drunk. Your face heated up as you stand to push him outside. You saw a few people tense, ready to stand in if needed. Grayson pointed a shaking finger at you, " What are you doing here."

You put your hands up in a defenseless manor and tried to lower you voice but no matter how low everyone would hear it, " I'm hanging out with my friends."

He barked out a laugh, " We both know your not good enough to hang out with these people."

Tom, Haz, and the Chris's stand up, all muttering a warning along the lines of, " Hey."

You turned your head and put your hand out to the side to make them sit down, Grayson relaxed a little, " Come on, let's go home and you can make us dinner."

He grabbed you harshly by the wrist and started dragging you to the door. " Grayson, I want to stay here."

" I don't care."

Chris Hemsworth steppes up and took his hand off my wrist, putting you behind him," She doesn't want to go. Now leave."

" You can't make me." He stuck his tongue out like an immature child.

Chris Pratt was by Hemsworth's side and Tom was on the other. Haz came up being you, scaring you when he pulled you into a hug. Pratt sized him up and rolled his sleeves, " Oh, yes, we can."

Grayson looked at the three men in front of him, then backed down, " Y/N, when you come to your scenes, I'll be home."

Then he left. You didn't know whether to scream or cry, but you did neither, you just sat on the couch, staring at your hands while the awkwardness hung in the air. You didn't know what to say, but you felt something needed to be said, so above a whisper, " He's never like that."
