Everyone, you, Tom, Haz, Liz, Kayla, Zendaya, Jacob and Tony were all living in one house for a reality show on TV. Obviously, there was a camera crew watching everyone's move.

Today, the house decided on a meeting because there was some things being thrown around about Tom's "friend" named Carly.

You weren't fond of Carly. She just had a bad vibe towards you. You didn't want to think she was a bad person, but lately, she's been really clingy towards Tom and pushy to everyone else. Honestly, it broke your heart.

"You're the one who's always saying something about her!!" Tom yells at you. You take in a breath.

"But I'm not the only one!! You've got Liz and Kayla agreeing with me and saying other shit!–" "You start the bullshit rumors!!"

You and Tom's voices were booming over everyone else's, who were trying to calm you both.

"Yeah but (y/n) you really shouldn't say things about someone you don't know!" Jacob interjects.

"She's been to this house millions of times!" Liz protests.

"She's not even his girlfriend! Tom, if you're gonna keep inviting someone–" Kayla throws in before getting interrupted by Tony.

"I don't understand why (y/n) is the bigger part of this!!"

"Yeah right?!" Tom's voice goes high as his seat on the couch gets stiff. You stand up, starting to feel blood rush to your face. The adrenaline of everyone yelling was getting you riled up.

"Why do have to act like my mum?! You're not in control of my life!!" Tom continues. You bite your lips trying to decide if you should just tell him.

"I just don't like Carly!!" You finally stomp off into the kitchen which has an open view of the living room.

Zendaya was just sitting quietly on the couch, hugging a pillow to her chest.

"If only you knew." She whispered a little too loudly. Tom sharply turned to her. "What??"

"She just gives me a bad vibe!!" You keep going, completely ignoring the side conversation.

"But why?! Why do you not want me to be with her?!" Tom finally stands up from the couch. You slam your hands on the kitchen island.

"I don't know." You finally say. You did know, you just didn't want to say the real reason.

Tom gave an exasperatingly long sigh, slamming his hands to his thighs.

"You're fucking ridiculous, (y/n). You do not control me!" Tom's voice got darker as he spoke as he said the last statement again.

"I'm not trying to!!" You scream, seeing a camera pan to your face. You started to feel your voice crack and your eyes ache.

Everyone went silent in the house when they heard the different tone in your voice.

"Then what?!? WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!" Tom's voice was louder than before. He made his way past the couches and in front of you, across the kitchen island.

"WHY DO YOU HATE CARLY–"

"BECAUSE I LIKE YOU FOR FUCKS SAKE!!"

After that scream, everyone was shocked.

"I don't like Carly because that bitch has been nothing but cold shoulder to all of us, but you!" You continue, a tear finally slipping through. It's one thing to start yelling.. it's another when someone starts crying.

"We all see it, Tom!! She's clingy to you, and for some fucking rEASON, I'M THE ONE WHO'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO PROTECT THE ONES I LOVE. AND IT HURTS ME EVERYTIME SHE'S A BITCH TO EVERYONE ELSE!!" You slam your hands on the cold marble top of the island.

"You like me?" Tom's voice softened, along with his stance in front of you.

"That's what I fucking said, isn't it?" Another tear fell down your cheek.

"(Y/n).." You look over and see Z sitting up without the pillow against her chest.

"You didn't have to tell him." She says quietly.

"What else was I suppose to do?! Make him think I'm some crazy ass bitch who's trying to keep him to myself?!" You look over at Z, then at the people who were still in the living room, sitting in the couch. There was a very awkward silence.

Turning back to Tom in front of you, you find him looking off to the side, his jaw clenched.

"I'm not trying to ruin your life, Tom." You say to fill the silence. Tom's eyes return back, looking into yours.

"I'm just trying to not make it terrible.. but I guess I'm just making it worse." You throw your hands up and turn to leave the kitchen.

"(Y/n) wait–" Haz starts.

"I should've NEVER said anything in the first place." You mumble loud enough for everyone to hear. You sniffle, grabbing your jacket from the closet next to the door.

"Where are you going?!" You hear Tom yell.

"Anywhere but fuCKING HERE!!" You scream once more before slamming the front door shut.
