A New Chapter Begins...

Part 92

Kristen: y/n!

Harrison: Are you okay?

You: I think so. I'm just going to lay down...

Tom: The guest room is the third door on the left

'You lay on the bed flat on your back'

Kristen: Hey, I brought some people to see you

You: Who?

Paddy: Your favorite Holland!

Harry: And your best friend...

You: Thanks boys

'They climb up next to you and you wrap them in a hug, then you hear Tom talking to Kristen and Harrison'

Tom: We all need to watch y/n. Her parents have a plan, that we all keep stopping

Harrison: I'm going to regret this...but what plan?

Tom: y/n's family has a plan to kill her

Kristen: What do we do?

Tom: Lay low

Kristen: But she has work, and leaves for LA in 5 days

Tom: Okay fine. Lay as low as possible. I'll ask my mom for her car to go in and out, and we'll stay here

Harrison: This is insane...you know that, right?

Tom: Yes, I do. But we have no choice, and when she leaves Monday, we're staying here

Kristen: You aren't going with her? Even after all this?

Tom: I'm not allowed out there till the premier

Kristen: y/n didn't even last a week without you

Tom: I know, but this is different

Harrison: How exactly?

Tom: She'll be busy and constantly moving. She's not stuck in bed all day healing from a bullet

Harrison: Wait! What if either Kristen or I go with her?

Tom: She's going to tell you no. Especially after today, she's not going to let you go to keep us out of harm's way

Kristen: I'm sorry, but she's my best friend. I'm not going to accept this. How could you?

Tom: I haven't, but if I show up, there's a possibility that we both could get in trouble

Kristen: I'm going to talk to her later

Harrison: And leave who behind?

Kristen: Maybe both of us

'You get and stand in the doorway'

You: You're all staying here

Tom: Hey...I thought you were laying down

You: It doesn't help, they're still here

Kristen: y/n, can we talk outside, please?

'She grabs your hand and pulls you outside'

Kristen: What the hell y/n?!

You: What?

Kristen: How could you be leaving by yourself? Especially back to LA!

You: Because I don't have a choice, Kristen! If it were up to me, I wouldn't leave any of you here! I can't imagine 3 months without Tom, you, or Harrison. I don't want to think about my parents, and I really don't want anyone in my life to get hurt even more than they already have. So, I really don't have a choice!

Harrison: ...You've always had a choice

Kristen: You just pick the one that keeps others safe and helps everyone but yourself

You: So?

Tom: We have to draw the line at some point

You: I've tried to draw that line about a thousand times, and every single time it vanishes before I finish

Kristen: So, what do we do?

You: We're going to live our lives like before

Tom: And we'll just be extra careful

'You help Mrs. Holland and Sam cook dinner'

Mrs. Holland: Are you doing okay?

You: Yeah, I'm okay

Sam: Really though? You've been through so much, how could you be okay?

You: Well...

'Tom starts to walk to the kitchen, but stops'

You: Okay, I've been okay, but recently I've been going downhill. I'm not on set anymore, and I leave for LA on Monday. My family came out of nowhere, and I have to leave Tom and you guys for 3 months

Sam: Wait...you won't see Tom till the premier?

You: Unfortunately, no. I'm really scared that what happened last time he left will happen again

Mrs. Holland: What happened last time?

You: I barely ate, barely slept, and I was definitely on a different planet

Sam: What if Paddy, Harry, or I go?

You: I'm not allowed to bring anyone yet...
