Y/n POV
Everyone has a soulmate. Now, whether you believe in them or not, doesn't matter. And everyone realizes who their soulmate is in different ways. It could come to you randomly in a dream. Or, it could come when you see your soulmate fall for someone else; which happened to me. I have an older brother, Harrison, who is Toms best friend. No one ever thought we'd fall for each other. For the longest time, my mom thought I should be with Harry and Nikki believed I should be with Sam. But, I thought of both of them as brothers. We were the same age and they were my best friends. Paddy was like a little brother to me and always kept me on my toes. Tom and I would joke around like we were gonna get married some day. To make a joke, when I was 8, he fake proposed to me in front of Haz and they got into a playful fist fight. I thought it was so cute how Haz despised Tom for even joking about that. Years later, Tom was dating this one girl, and I was dating someone else. After a while, I broke it off. I had developed feelings for Tom, but I couldn't tell anyone. Later that week, we had a game night where Tom brought his girlfriend. I tried to get Tom alone so I could talk to him. But that was impossible. During the middle of game night, Tom took me aside and I thought, finally! I can tell him!, but that wasn't the case at all. He wanted to propose to his girlfriend! I gave him the best advice I could. But I knew in my heart, we were soulmates.
Tom's POV
As I was proposing, I couldn't help but think what I was doing wasn't what I really wanted. After the proposal, I helped y/n and Sam clean up Sam and Harry's apartment. "Hey Sam, can you excuse us for a second?" Sam looked at us. "Uhhh, I guess so. But you're cleaning up the beer and chips." He said with a laugh. "Jerk," y/n said with a slight laugh. "So, y/n, I have to ask you something. It's something I've been wondering about since you and Jack (idk I just made up a name on the spot lol), um, broke up. So, do you, I dunno, have feelings for me or something? I thought you were so in love with him. What happened?" "Well, I realized I did have feelings for someone else. And I wasn't ever going to tell you this," I sighed. "But yes. It's you. It's always been you and I can't help it but tonight I realized something. You're my soulmate. And I know that now but I also know it's too late. I know that-" "Hold on. I need to do something. Stay here," I told her. "Actually, I need to talk to Anna (again just another name. I so blocked on names rn)."
Y/n POV
"What just happened?" I said under my breath. "It looks like Tom just ran out to break up with Anna because he realized he loved you," Harry said, walking in with a bottle. "Harry! How long have you been standing there!" "Long enough to know you two belong together. Come here," he said with open arms. I walked over to him and hugged him. "Thanks Harry. I needed that. I don't know how this whole thing will go over with Anna." "I don't know but it'll work out. Just the other day he asked me if I knew if you had a crush on him. I kept your secret by the way. So did Sam." "Harry, I can't tell you how much I appreciate y'all not making fun of me. I know you could've and you've had multiple chances to." "Of course y/n! We love you like a sister. Which is why..." "AH HARRY NO! NOT AGAIN!!!" I screamed. Sam ran through the door because he could hear me laughing. "Sam, - no. Not- you- too!!" I said through muffled laughs. Sam joined Harry in tickling the heck outta me. Haz walked in and the twins told him to help them carry me to the couch so I couldn't escape. That's when Tom came in. He looked relieved but sad at the same time. He also had a huge red mark on his face. The twins and Haz stopped tickling me and we sat down on the couch beside Tom.
Sam's POV
"Tom, what's wrong? What happened?" Harry asked. "Yeah, mate. Why the red mark?" Haz questioned. "Well, when I told Anna that I made a mistake, she took the ring off and threw it at me. Then, she asked if it was because of you and I didn't say anything. She stood right in front of me and said, 'I knew there was something between you. When she broke up with Jack, you ran to her to comfort her. You pretty much spent all your time with her besides when you came home. I want you out.' And when I explained to her that you were my soulmate, she slapped me and said, 'Go to Hell, Tom. I hope I never see you again.'" Y/n sat there silent with tears in her eyes.
Harry's POV
"Y/n? You ok?" I asked. "It's all because of me, and I know it. Everyone here knows it." "Y/n. Stop. It's not your fault she didn't understand." Haz said to me. "Tom?" "Look, I didn't know what it was that I was feeling for you. I didn't know that she wasn't the one. But now I know who it. It's you and it's always been you. Even though we found out in a bad way, now we know. And it's better now I know you probably don't want me now and that's fine. I'll wait for-" She leaned in and planted a soft kiss on my brother. Through their tears, the smiled and y/n laid her head on Toms shoulder. "Guys, let's let them be to... catch up," Sam told me and Haz. Haz gave Tom the evil eye and said, "Don't you dare hurt her or I swear to God I'll kill you mate," and finished with a laugh and a playful punch in the arm. "Mr. Osterfield, I swear on my life I will never hurt her," Tom said in all realism. The three of us left to go upstairs while y/n and Tom started talking.
