~love isnt always good~

A noise starts filling my ears.Jonas is yelling at the top of his lungs.I can feel the anger through the phone.I cant understand what he's saying.I hear the words but my brain cant put them together properly.Im just standing there, looking on the busy street. All of a sudden the noise stops.Its quiet.I get pulled out of my trance by a hand on my back.

I get scared and immediately take a step back. When i look up i see Tom. He's holding my phone and looking at me.He's worried.He holds the phone to his ear and frowned. Then he just hangs up, still looking at me worried but confused.

„Who was that?" he asks and steps closer again.I let him. „ Nobody.Lets go back inside." I say and try to brush it off but Tom grabs my arm, not aggressively but carrying. „Daliah, i dont know who that was but i know that you were scared.You have to talk about it or i cant help you." he says. I look into his eyes for a moment.

I want to tell him, i really do. But at the same time, i know what will happen if i do. I know what he said he would do.

„Please, just let it go. At leastt for now. Harrison is here and he doesn't need to know about it. I literally just met you guys after the longest time ever and i want to spend time with you." i say and open my bun and my wild curls fall on my shoulders.

He sighs. „Fine, but dont think i will forget about it." he says and opens the door to the cafe again.

The rest of the day went pretty good. We went to the pubquiz with Tom and his family and we enjoyed ourselves.

As we walk home Tom remembers what happened this morning. „Sooooo, now that we're alone-„ „oh no." i say and burry my face in my hands.

„You know you cant hide it from me anyways right?We live together now." he says with alight smile. He tries to lighten the mood. Like always. „Well, aunt steph didn't know either." i say and he laughs. „I am not aunt Steph, darling."

I smile. I love this word, the way he says it. It is a common word in the English accent but the way Tom says it is special.

„No but seriously.What is it.I have never seen you this...scared.You looked scared." he gives me a worried glance. I swallow hard and look around. The street is pretty empty. 2 meters away is a bench. I take his hand and pull him on it.

I take a deep breath and close my eyes for a second. „The guy that called me, his name is Jonas. He's from Germany. We went to school together. And we kinda....were a couple." i look at Tom and on his face is a look i cant quite identify. „And technically we still are a couple" i say.

„What?But....but you're here now i thought-„ he stops. I frown. What did he think? „Tom, i ran away." Now he just looks confused. I sigh. „Look, he didn't just scream because i left without telling him. He...That's the way he is." Tom still didn't seem to fully get it. It might have been too much info at once.

I bite my lip and then ate of my jacket. I pull up my sleeve and reveal my nacked arms.
