Nothing Can Stop Love

Chapter 5

Tom

"Tom c'mon, you can't stay all day long in bed. Get out." I lwatched Harry trying to get me out of bed. But he didn't exercised every day like I suggested him so he barely drags me out of bed.

"Told you to exercise more." He leaves my room and comes back with Sam who looks more serious than normal

"Harry, stop. Jake died. I don't wanna do anything. So leave." Harry leaves but waits in the doorway for me.

"I'm worried for you Tom. You're for 5 days in that bed. Even mom is worried for you. She has to bring you breakfast to bed." I watch him talk.

"Go!" He leaves and Sam doesn't even look at me as he leaves. Wtf is wrong with him.
My phone rings. It's Zendaya.

"Tom, your mom said you didn't left your-" I close the call. I rly ain't in the mood for people to make me smile. What's the point in living in a world without Jake. I put the blanket over my head, trying to suffocate myself. It's useless. Living in a world without Jake. If he"s going down, i'm going down.

"Tom!" I hear Harry coming in my room and taking the blanket off me.

"You've gone crazy Tom!"
I try to take my blanket back with no succes

"I didn't go crazy, I'm heartbroken!"
Shit. Harry gives me a questioning look.

"I'm sorry, did I hear that right?" I hesitate,, but Sam walks in with his phone and a grin on his face.

"Harry my brother, you did indeed heard that good. Our Tom is gay and I have solid proof." Harry looks at me. His disappointment is written all over his face. Yep, I'm dead.

"T- Tom, is that- is that true?" I open my mouth, but Sam begins.

"Yes Harry. Look at this vid where Tom kisses Jake in the hospital before he dies." I stand up furious.

"Yes, good job Sam! RUB IT IN MY FACE THAT HE'S DEAD!" He didn't even show compassion! Or anything like that! He just smirks like a criminal. He shows the video were me and Jake kissed right before that machine started beeping.

"Tom, why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I couldn't? You know, cuz this society is fucked up." Sam smirks. Ugh, I hate it when he does that smirk. It's like he's up to something.

"Now all pieces come together. That's why you weren't celebrating when that gay couple was arrested, and that's why you were way to heartbroken when Jake died. Also, I found out he was your boyfriend. Harry freezes.

"Wait what?" He smirks even more.

"I won't tell your lil' secret, unless you do everything I say. And Harry." Harry isn't really happy of that idea.

"Sam, are you sure this is a good idea?" He nods.

"Yes, he deserves that. This is his punishment. You'll be doing this until you die." Great, he's threatening me now. Exactly what I needed.

"Sam, I don't think this is the right way to handle this."
He's shakes Harry, they almost fall on the floor.

"Harry! Tom is fucking gay! He is not like us. He is nothing! Nada! Niente! Rien! He isn't like us anymore. He's nothing!" I wanna say something, but he shushes me down.

"Nah ah Tom, you're only gonna speak when I tell you to." Harry slaps him.

"Sam! He's still your brother! I know that we don't really support gays, not mean meant Tom, but he's still our brother. And what if we don't support gayness. He's still family. Who learned you first to cook? Yes, Tom! Show compassion!" I get tears in my eyes. I neverthought Harry would have stand up for me and go against Sam. 

"Harry, I'm born 2 minutes earlier than you. I know whats best." He hesitates and then leaves my room, leaving me with Sam.

"Tom, you're life's gonna be hell. Be happy I don't tell mom and dad directly." He laughs like a maniac as he leaves my room. Great. Jake's dead and now Sam's threatening me. I roll my eyes. What a wonderful life.

"Dinner's ready!" I get down and see that I don't have a plate.

"Uh, mom? Why don't I have a plate?" She looks confused from me to Sam and back.

"Oh uh, Sam said that you ain't hungry." I give him an angry look. He shushes me off.

"Yea, I'm not. Sorry." I go back in my room and eat a nut bar I had in my desk. Sam's making my life hell, and he loves that. After a few mins comes Harry in my room.

"Tom? It's me, Harry. Open up. Sam's gone with mom shopping. I have some food for you."
I open the door and I see a plate full, but literally full food.

"Umm, Harry? I'm not that hungry you know. I ate a nut bar a few minutes ago." He looks angry.

"Tom, if Sam catches me doing this, he'll do the same to me. I'm offering myself for you to give you food and you're being ungrateful. ]
He's right. I've never knew what sacrifices he's making. If Sam knows he's doing this....I don't wanna know what's gonna happen.

"Thank you Harry." I take over the plate full of food, but then look at him.

"I'm not sure I can eat all that at once." he smiles.

"I understand. Well, when you're ready, call me." He leaves my room and I start eating. What would've happened to me if I wouldn't have Harry in my life?
