      He was being ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. But he wasn't sure how to react, how to express himself. It felt like there was this large weight bestowed upon him that was slowly lit, burning him alive as the smoke was suffocating to his lungs and the fire rotting away at his flesh. Tom felt stupid for feeling this way, after all, he doesn't really know this girl. What right does he have to feel loss when they weren't really that close?

      Maybe it was the confusion that was slowly chewing him up only to spit him back out. Maybe it was this feeling of rejection that left him so bitter and emotional. Maybe it was this feeling of not being wanted that gnawed at him.

      If you told her who you were maybe she'd get interested again, he selfishly thought to himself. But right after Tom had thought that he scolded himself for being so shallow-minded. Reyna's not like that. Reyna's not materialistic. Who cares if he's a famous actor? She wouldn't care. Hell, that might repel her even more.

     Figure this out later, he reminded himself. We're working right now. We shouldn't be distracted.

     They were on their way to Puerto Rico to finish the last bits of filming. And Tom would finish before the others, allowing him to return to London soon. But his thoughts trailed back to Rosé and how their interaction will return to nothing more than grainy Skype calls, texts, and the occasional phone call. There was always the chance of seeing her again during the promotion tour, but from what he knows she'll start college soon.

     Tom was being extremely negative.

     So he turned to Noah Cha who sat next to him in the airport waiting area.

     The Korean male was on his phone with a stupid grin on his face as his eyes remained on the screen. Tom couldn't help but peer over his friend's shoulder, a wave of curiosity washing over him as Noah chuckled under his breath as he received a new text.

     "You're texting a girl!" Tom exclaimed as he startled his friend. Noah clutched his chest as he tried to steady his racing heart whilst one hand flipped the phone over so you couldn't see the screen. But the actor saw enough and saw a few heart emojis as well as the contact photo of a very pretty girl. He clapped his hands excitedly as he tried to grab Noah's phone out of his hand. "Who is it? Your girlfriend? Noah has a girlfriend!"

     Lizzie, who sat across from the two boys, faked a gasp as she placed a hand over her chest before she pulled a look of disgust on her face. "Noah, how could you?" she cried dramatically before she placed her coffee down so she could place her other hand over her chest as well. "What about us?"

     "No offense Lizzie but you're not my type," Noah cleared up earning a look of horror from the Scarlet Witch actress. He then shut his phone off before placing it inside the pocket of his sweats and glared harshly at his childhood friend. "She's not my girlfriend - "

     "I saw a few heart emojis in that conversation of yours," Tom rebuttal.

     "I send hearts to almost everyone."

     "That's a lie, you almost never send me a heart," Chris claimed as he pointed an accused finger at the intern. The Captain America actor even went as far as to pretend to wipe away a fake tear from under his eye. "When it was my birthday I didn't even get a heart, I got a thumbs up."

    "What's her name?" Tom tried once more as he shook Noah's shoulder like a child would. He even went as far as to pout before batting his eyelashes at his friend. "Oh come on, I told you about Camille! I swear on Tessa that I won't even tell Rosé about your girlfriend if you tell me. It can be our secret!"

    Noah groaned out of irritation as he threw his head back. He then sat back up and pointed at Robert who was watching the interaction with an amused glint in his eyes and a coffee at hand. "But RDJ is here and you know he'll tell her right away!"

     "I'm offended that you think so little of me, Noah," Robert faked innocence.

     "You told my mom that I have a tattoo even though I specifically told you not to tell anyone!"

     "Okay but I'm telling you, a tattoo of a dragon ball is weird!"

    "Exactly my point!" Noah exclaimed as he referred to the actor. He then turned to Tom and gave a firm no, but the British actor refused and begged once more.

    Finally, Noah sighed and slumped his shoulders in defeat. "Fine, her name is Sora, but that's all you're getting out of me! And she's not my girlfriend, okay? She's . . . a friend."

    "Noah has a girlfriend, Noah has a girlfriend," Tom cheered as he stood up and danced around their waiting area. But before he could make the announcement once more Noah reached out and yanked him back into his seat. "Oh come on, Cha. We've been friends for almost our entire lives and this is the first time we're talking about a relationship that you're in. It's a big thing for me, let me have this."

     "Not a word to Rosé, okay?" Noah hissed quietly. "If she finds out about this I'm going to be castrated and sent to Australia into bits. Remember, she's not my girlfriend."

     "You're lying to me, but that's okay!"

     Tom mocked the serious expression on Noah's face before he allowed his friend to return to his conversation with Sora. But boredom soon took over his mind and Tom returned to his own phone once more. He couldn't help but hesitate as his thumb hovered over the Twitter app, his urge to check once more, maybe to see if she responded or looked at the messages. It was practically self torture, yet he refuses to admit it.

     Because deep down he's hoping that she's not giving up, that there's a part of her that wants this friendship as much as he does.

     At the end of the day she'll still be the girl she loves. He knows that these feelings of his aren't temporary, that what he feels for her is love and not something he made up to fill the void in his chest. Maybe this is ridiculous, but if you think about it from another perspective it really isn't.

     See, he's a boy who has almost never loved anyone other than his parents, brothers, Harrison, and of course the Cha's. They were his close circle, the people who made up the important bits of his life. But in came this girl, a girl who said what he needed to hear, who was able to connect with him and help him even if she wasn't physically there.

    She became his Reyna Cohen, a hero who may not show any heroic traits, but what was deep within was more important than the surface.

     Tom sighed as he clicked on another app. He highly doubts that she'll reply, maybe not for awhile. He clicked on WebToon, ready to reread Falling Dimensions. Maybe he was self torturing himself, but it comforted him like she was still there.

     With a smile on his face he divulged back into the adventures of Reyna and Theo once more. He felt Sebastian peer over his shoulder, curious as to why he was smiling. The older actor expected it to be a text from Rosé as no one has heard from her in awhile. But instead he was shocked to see the Spider-Man actor to be reading what appears to be an online comic book.

     Sebastian was ready to make fun of the actor for reading what appears to be a childish comic book. That is until his eyes laid on Theo, the curly haired character with a sword in his hand as blood trickled down the side of his face. Tom was scrolling the screen as he read, but stopped when Sebastian pressed his finger down, stopping him from continuing.

     "Sebastian — "

     "He's supposed to be in the hospital, laughing. This dude was with another girl, right? She was in a hospital bed," Sebastian interrupted nonchalantly.

     Tom furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He exited out of the random chapter he was reading and scrolled to the specific chapter Sebastian was talking about. He remembered what chapter that scene was in, more so because it was the chapter where Reyna had almost died from saving their friends from a Cyclopes attack. And how Theo and Reyna had their first ever fight because said girl had gone out with Sean.

     "This chapter?" he asked Sebastian as he handed his fellow co-star his phone. Sebastian scrolled through the chapter leaving Tom to wonder how Sebastian knew about that scene. Has Sebastian also read this book? He was excited, ready to have another person to discuss this book with. "You've read this book too? That's great — "

      Sebastian puzzled at his words, cocking his head to the side he handed Tom his phone back. "Book? What book? This is part of a book?"

      "Uh yeah. Wait, you don't know? But how did you know about this scene — "

     "I saw Rosé drawing this in Annie's trailer a few weeks back."

     Rosé.

     White french bulldog named Tofu.

    softtofu.

    The bar in Berlin.

    That friend of hers who she was looking for.

    Carter Arrowood.

    Camille Abbott.

    Nathaniel Cohen.

    Noah Cha.

    Reyna has asthma.

    Sean O'Connery.

    Seth O'Connor.

      Kelsey knows about softtofu, she produced the background music.

      Katherine East.

     Kelsey Easton.

     Reyna has a British accent that sounded so authentic and real whenever they called one another, when they met.

      Rosé lived in London before she moved to Australia.

      Theo Hartens.

      Tom Holland.

      Internship in Germany.

       Reyna Cohen.

       Childhood friends Reyna and Theo since they were seven.

      Tom met Rosé when they were seven.

      Reyna Cohen.

      Rosé Cha.

      It's her.

      Tom caught side of Noah rushing away from the corner of his eye. Without thinking twice the actor ran after his friend and right when Noah noticed him chasing after him the Korean boy began to ran. Tom was never faster than Noah, the two knew that after the countless races and pranks they had pulled on one another. Maybe it was his determination, maybe it was the shock that numbed his body.

       For the first time Tom was faster than Noah. Hesitation wasn't present as Tom grabbed Noah by the collar of his shirt. He yanked Noah back and shoved him against the wall, his hands holding Noah's shoulder firm against the wall between the restrooms. His friend struggled, but every time he did Tom's grip only grew.

      "Is it true?" Tom panted, his lungs begging for air after running so hard. This was the fastest he's ever ran, but he couldn't think about his burning calves, not when the mysterious author was in his mind. "Tell me!"

        "I don't know what you're talking about — "

        "BULLSHIT! Tell me mate, is Rosé Reyna? Yes or no."

       "Tom get the fuck off me, okay? I have no idea what bullshit you're sprouting out but — "

      "DON'T FUCK WITH ME, NOAH!" Tom shouted louder than he intended. He ignored the glances they received from the people who walked past them. That wasn't important, nothing but Reyna was important. "Just tell me! Please."

      ". . . she ended the book a long time ago. I had no idea what it was about, I've never read it — "

      "Where is she?" Tom exclaimed desperately. There was no sign of Rosé at their waiting area. The last time he saw his friend was right when they arrived at the airport where she had left to retrieve snacks with Annie Shin. Maybe his thoughts were so clouded of Reyna that he hadn't noticed that neither of them had returned.

      "Tom, listen to me, Rosie needs this okay — "

      "NOAH!"

      "She's . . . she's not coming with us to Puerto Rico."

      ". . . what?"

     "She's going to Seoul. South Korea."
