Second- Hopefully y'all like this 😂
Y/n POV
Tom, Haz and I have been close our whole lives. Our parents were bestfriends in school and me and the boys grew up together. Our birthdays are very close and we run in the same circles. But there was something odd about the boys. For the past year and a half, they've been acting strange. I thought it was because they knew my secret. But I hadn't told anyone my secret because I knew what their reaction would be. That's when it happened. Our house got robbed and my father was killed. I called 911 when I heard someone open the door. Anyone who had a key was either inside the house, Tom, or Harrison. A few minutes later, two men burst through the door. My dad happened to be in the kitchen getting some water when the burglar waltzed in. I stayed in my room where my mom had raced in when she heard the shot of the gun. I could hear the man ransacking our study which was beneath my room. That's when I peeked out from the staircase. I knew martial arts because I wanted to beat up the boys when they would jump me for fun. That's when I saw them. One of the men was leaned down where my father was and the other was fighting the intruder. Wait a minute. I'd know that stature anywhere. "Haz?" I whispered. The man ran up the stairs to me.
"Y/n. Go back upstairs and protect your mother. There may be more."
"Wait, but, Haz is that you?"
"Go. NOW!"
I raced up the stairs while the two men fought the guy off. I told my mom how I thought one of them was Harrison. "Honey, that's crazy. He's just a boy who works at a coffee shop and going to university. You know this."
But, I wasn't convinced. That's when I heard another shot. And another. And another! I grabbed my fathers shotgun from under his bed and cocked it back. I ran down the stairs and pointed at one of the men. "Woah woah woah woah woah, y/n! Put the gun down!!!"
"Tom? Tom, is that you?"
"Uhhhh," he deepened his voice. "Who's Tom?"
"Haz. Tom. You can drop the act. I know it's you. But, why do y'all have those uniforms on?"
"Uhhh ok look. Go to sleep. We'll tell you in the morning." Let's just say, I didn't sleep much that night. I was too anxious. At around 6 am, I knocked on the boys apartment door. Haz opened the door. I walked in and I saw Tom sitting on the couch looking like he was contemplating something. Haz locked the door behind us.
"Why'd you lock the door?" "We have reason to believe you're being followed."
"What? Why?"
"Your father, did he tell you his secret?"
"What? What secret? And why do you guys think this?"
"Look, y/n. Your dad isn't who you thought he was. Neither are we. Why do you think we sleep with guns under our pillows? It's not for comfort that's for sure." Tom said.
"I guess I never thought about it.... Wait so why were yall wearing that stuff last night?"
"Well, we work for a secret organization of spies. Your father, well, he was our trainer. He taught us everything we know now. And since the attack on your family last night, we've been assigned to send you and your mother to a safe house in the middle of nowhere so no one can find you until all of your fathers enemies are behind bars or dead." Haz told me.
Holy freaking- WHAT?!?!
"So, what was so important about my dad in the organization?"
"He was the head of our organization. He sent us on our missions. See, the reason we've been gone as much as we have is because we're on missions throughout the country."
"So that's why y'all have been distant with me. We used to tell each other everything. Now we don't."
"Yes. Exactly. If our cover had been blown, this would have happened a long time ago. Now that we're trained though,-"
"Now we can protect you and your mom better than we could've a year ago. We picked up lessons when your father recruited us. He asked us what we thought about spies and then proceeded to tell us about a job. We took interest. We knew it'd be dangerous, but we had to take it. We couldn't risk losing you," Tom finished.
Wow. That's a lot to process.
"Why didn't Dad recruit me? He knew what was really inside me. I could've- I wanted to- pull the trigger last night. Seeing my dad dead on the floor- it messed me up. It brought out something inside me that I never knew was there. I wanted- I wanted to hurt someone. It didn't matter who, just someone I could blame for my father."
"Wow, y/n. That's deep. And he didn't recruit you because he knew it would be dangerous and he didn't want you getting hurt."
"Did my mother know?"
"Huh?"
"Did she know? About my dad. About you?"
"Yes. She knew. All of it."
"How could you keep this from me? After all these years? You guys are like brothers to me," only, one of them wasn't. "I couldn't bear the thought of losing either of you. I love you guys. And this, this makes me wonder. What else have you been keeping from me?"
"That's the biggest thing. And the only important one. But there's something else. We need you to come with us. Your mom is on her way to Belize in a safe house. No one will find her. You can leave at any time, but last night, we talked to her and told her the situation. She wants you to train with us. To be able to protect yourself from these guys."
"Way to drop a bombshell on me Haz."
"We'll give you time to think about thi-"
"No. I'm in. When do I start. And who's responsible for killing my father. I'll kill them myself with my own hands." I said through gritted teeth.
"We start today if you want. Your mom dropped off your stuff here a little bit ago. One of our agents has set up our guest room for you. You'll stay with us so we all stay together and lose the risk of being caught off guard."
"Fine. Let's go," I said.....
~Hey guys! What do y'all think of this? I had inspiration after eating Burger King and seeing the pic of Tom at the beginning of the story! 😂 Hope y'all find joy in this and I hope it makes y'all wanna come back for more!
