~new start~

Only 1 day later, I stand infront of Toms flat and ring the bell.Unbelievable.Two days ago I was sitting in my aunts house wishing I was back in London and now I'm moving in with my best friend wich I haven't seen in 3 years.

The door opens and I press my entire body against it to open it.Its a big metal door.Seems very old.I don't have much luggage, only one suitcase and purse.

I came to the conclusion I would be buying new stuff once I arrived so aunt steph brought my old stuff to the homeless shelter.

As I'm walking through the big foyer I hear steps coming down the stairs.Its Tom.Hes wearing an oversized hoodie and grey sweatpants.He looks really good in these.Wait, what?Stop thinking that.

"Hey Daliah!Wait, let me help you with the suitcase." He says and takes it from me.I smile at him and together we get up the stairs.Only now I notice, I would never have been able to get the suitcase up.

As we walk into Toms flat he widened his arms and turns around. "Welcome to your new home!" He says and smiles at me. I start laughing a bit and close the door behind me.

As I walk into the living room I look around.its really big.Bigger than I thought it would be.Suddenly a lot of worries start coming in.

"Tom, I don't think I can pay for this place." I say put down my purse. The TV is bigger than your old kitchen table and everything is very clean and in order.

"Calm down.I was ready to pay for this flat on my own.You know, Marvel money is good money." He laughs and walks into the kitchen.

I bite my lip still concerned and follow him. "I'm not gonna let you pay this flat alone tho." I say and lean against the wall.

"I know, but until you have a job you can't really pay me either." He says and opens the fridge. "So you have no choice." He says and hands me a beer.

I take it look at it.Thats not how I imagined that.But what did I expect?Tom living in a cheap shithole now that he's got his own movie coming out?Ugh god I'm such an idiot. why did I say yes to this.

I look up to Tom.His eyes are locked into mine.He seems worried. "You need to calm down."He says and walk up to me. "It's fine.Really." He puts his hand on my shoulder and smiles at me.

I can feel my checks getting red.Why. Tom starts laughing and leaves the kitchen.You follow him again and you two sit down on the couch.

"Tom, I don't know about all of this.Maybe that's not a good idea after all.I know I said you would help me but I'm afraid I'm gonna be a burden." I say and try to open the beer with my teeth the way he and Harrison always do.

He starts laughing and takes the beer out of my hands and opens it for me. "Daliah, you seriously need to calm down.Its alright. Anyways,Harrison is gonna be here any minute.He wanted to see you too."

A little smile builds on my lips.Harrison. I missed him too.The way he made them laugh.The way she hasn't laughed in years.

"When are you guys starting shooting your movie?" I ask and he puts down his bottle. "Next week.And about that-" the door opens abruptly and I turn around.

"Who do we have here?" Harrison's voice yells through the hall and the living room.

I jump up and fall in his arms.We both start laughing. "I missed you!" I say and press him a little closer against me. "I missed you too, pumpkin"

I start laughing when I hear that nickname.I think it's clear where that came from. When we let go of each other I look in his face.I have to look up a bit. "Wow, seems like Someone finally hit puberty." I laugh and step back a little.

"Yeah!Now Tom is the last one standing" he says and we both turn to Tom laughing. He rolls his eyes and stands up.

"Okay, okay, are you guys done.Lets get out of here." He says and grabs his keys.

Together we leave and only 10 minutes later we're at Andy's again.

We greet him and then sit down at the table we usually do.I sit next to Tom and parallel to Haz.

We make jokes about old times and they get me up to date.

"I do mainly social media.I even made a YouTube channel." Haz says proudly. I nod smiling. "I bet the girls like your new muscles" I say and sip on my tea.

Tom glances at me from the side but I don't look at him.Hes been weirdly quiet since Haz came.Maybe there's something they are not telling me.

"So, how's your sister Haz?" I ask. In that moment my phone starts ringing.I take it out and the name I read on the display makes a cold breeze going down my spine.

Tom looks first at the name and then at me.I am frozen.I can't move. My breathing gets faster.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I stand up and take the call. I leave the cafe and listen to every single sound I hear on my phone.

"Daliah!Daliah!Where the fuck are you!" An angry voice screams.I hold the phone further away from my ear.

"I told you not to call me anymore, Jonas." I say quietly.Then he completely loses it.
