FOUR WEEKS LATER
THIRD PERSON
TOM FOCUS

Tom sits on the bed, tears falling from his eyes. After the first night alone he had convinced himself she would be back within a week. After the first week he kept telling himself it would be any day now. But now it's almost been a month. He looks at his phone. Her number is typed in, all he has to do is press call.

He takes a deep breath before pressing the green button. He puts the rectangle up to his ear. "I'm sorry, this number is no longer in service." His eyes go wide, tears coming rapidly now.

"What?" He whispers. 

A few minutes pass before he wipes his tears and quickly gets out of bed. He rushes to put shoes on before running to the apartment door. He grabs his keys off the hook and stops. Y/N's keys are still there, untouched. He grabs them too, hoping to return them to their rightful owner. He leaves the apartment and doesn't bother waiting for the elevator. He runs down the steps, not slowing down when he almost trips. He runs out of the lobby and to his car.

***

"Hello?" Y/N's mother eyes the man. Tom's hair is a mess, he's wearing pajamas, and his shoes don't match.

"I-Is Y/N here?" He asks, hope in his eyes.

The lady's face scrunches up, disgusted. "I don't know where she is and I don't want to know. Now get off my property." The door is slammed in his face. He stands for a second, confused. Was she disowned?

He shakes off the thought and goes back to his car. Keileigh's house is an hour drive, so he calls her. while the phone rings he looks back at the house. Dean and Kaleb stand together at the living room window watching him.

"Did I forget to block you?" Keileigh asks when the phone stops ringing.

"Is Y/N with you?"

"No one knows where she is. Now if you excuse me, I have a number to block." The phone beeps.

Tom calls Zendaya as he starts his car. The boys at the window shut the curtains. She answers as he's pulling out of the driveway. 

"What do you want?" Zendaya snaps,

"Where is she?" Tom's voice is desperate.

"It's taken you a month to try and look for her? You're pathetic. Don't call me again unless it's for work." Zendaya snaps before ending the call.

Tom drives home in silence. He enters his apartment in silence. Kicking off his shoes and putting the keys on the hooks. His feet drag as he walks to the bedroom. A figure is on the bed. His eyes are full of happiness and his heart full of hope. Tom switches the light on.

"Hey, Tom." The body rolls over to face the man.

"Harrison, why are you in my bed?" Tom's eyes once again go cold.

"Well you see, you haven't answered my calls in three weeks. I was worried. And then I found out what happened from Z." Harrison explains, sitting up.

"That wasn't cool of you, man." Tom jumps, turning around to see Sam and Harry.

"Well, I can't change the past. No use in yelling at me." Tom looks at the floor.

"Mum's upset." Harry says.

"She's gonna kill you!" Sam's eyes go wide as he yells.

"Okay." Tom nods.

"Get dressed, we're going to eat." Harrison sighs.

He felt the same as Tom, broken and lonely. Zendaya had just broken up with Harrison due to a combination of Harrison supporting Tom and the long distance, but mostly the support. When Tom gets dressed the boys lead him to the car. Tom sits in the back as he watches the familiar streets go by. They were taking him to his parents, but he didn't care. It felt like nothing mattered anymore.

He sat through what felt like hours of lectures from his dad. Mum barely looked at him, only glancing at him a few times. The family ate in almost complete silence. The only noise was from Tessa patiently waiting under the table for any food droppings. After dinner he went up to his old room. He could faintly hear Harrison and his family talking downstairs. Tessa followed Tom onto the bed, plopping herself down in his lap.

"Do you remember Y/N?" Tom whispers. The dog's ears perk up and she looks around at the mention of the name. "I guess that's a yes." Tom nods, a small smile appearing on his face.

"Thomas." A soft voice calls from the door. He looks over, Seeing his mother looking anywhere but at him.

"Mum." He replies. She sits across from him on the bed, her eyes focused on the comforter.

"I'm disappointed in you." She starts.

"I know."

"I really liked her. She was nice. And caring. She'll be a good mother."

Tom looks at her avoiding eyes. "Do you think she'll ever come back?"

She finally looks into his, "If I was her, I wouldn't."

After that night Harrison dropped Tom back off at home. Harrison went to his own place and cried, coping with his loss. Tom on the other hand coped differently. He locked his feelings away over the next couple of weeks. He made sure to bury them deep. It took him six months to start acting again. If the buried emotions dared to peak through the tiniest bit, Tom would take it out with other women. For the next year and a half that's what he did. He would bring them home or wherever he was staying every weekend. Out of them all, there was only one repeating one.

Eventually, the repeat would spend more than just weekends with him. He would eventually take her out to dinner and movies. They would go on cute dates. The years to come would involve the two eventually moving in together, travelling together, and sleeping with each other even more. In the beginning Tom had the habit of saying another girl's name, but now it didn't happen nearly as often. Only because he didn't say anybody's name during intimacy, though.

 Watching Tom over the years upset Harrison. He had been trying for the longest time to get back into contact with Zendaya, it had taken three years but it finally happened. The two were talking again, almost friends. Tom stopped trying to look for Y/N after a few weeks. Tom moved on to another woman. Now Harrison would never confront Tom over it, but Echo sure looked eerily similar to Y/N.

Ya know when your bestfriend of 11 years is no longer your best friend and you've never been more upset but like also she betrayed you not once but twice so like you should've seen this coming after the first time but you thought her promises meant something so you believed her hahahahaahhaha
