After making the cakes, (Y/N) put them in the box she grabbed and put them in the fridge for 5 minutes to cool them down. Once this was done she decorated them and then put them To one side. After she finished cleaning she went upstairs and brought the three boxes down from her room and put it with the other one in the front room.

She made sure they put them out the way as much as possible before sitting down on the sofa 'geez packing is stressful. What if I forget something and it's too late to get it. What if I break something during the move. What if-'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. She got up and answered.

It was tom

"Hello (Y/N). I'm just here to see if you need any help getting things sorted as I'm guessing your gonna start packing soon?"

"Err, Er, Yeah um I've pretty much got everything packed already"

"Oh okay"

"You can still come in though. I was about to watch a film so if you want you can join? I also have more questions so..."

"Sure okay. I would love to join you. What film?"

"Well that's something I don't know yet"

(Y/N) and tom headed to the front room and she turned on the tv to find a film. They looked for about 5 minutes before agreeing on avengers assemble. Half way through, (Y/N) decides to ask the questions

"So, my extra questions. 1) what's the deal with going out for meals. Is it the same place. Do we all have to agree on one place or do we take turns picking because I'm a very picky eater and won't be able to eat anything if we go to the so called "wrong" restaurant"

"Okay so, there are times where we just go to the same place...but usually we take turns in picking. It depends on the occasion"

"Okay, that's good. 2.whats the deal with tessa going to vet. Because, you won't always be there to take her and I doubt Harrison can either. Would I have to? I don't mind. I just struggle with talking to strangers or anyone in fact"

Err, Yeah. You would have to but don't worry, all you would need to do is give in your name and phone number, they might ask you how you know me just because they won't recognise you as one of my assistants or something and then listen to the vet. That's it."

"Okay that's fine. Um, 3. Whats was the deal with the rule about not talking to you if you wake up in the night?"

"Oh. I was afraid you would ask that. Um. Well, let's just say I've been having nightmares a lot recently and it stops me from sleeping"

"Okay. I won't ask anymore about that then if you don't want to talk about it."

They both fell silent and went back to watching the film. (Y/N) couldn't help but wonder why he gets nightmares though...

After it had finished she realised that toms head was on her shoulder and he was fast asleep. 'God dammit. Do I move? Do I leave him be? What to do! what to do...'

She decided to move quietly and carefully. She managed to get out and she placed toms head on a pillow and threw a blanket over him. She turned off the telly and tried to go to the kitchen. But she couldn't move. She found her self in a trance staring at a sleeping tom. 'Fuck fuck fuck. Nononono'

She broke out if it and ran to the kitchen. 'Not again, not again'

She got a bottle of water from the fridge and sat down at the table. She just sat there with her hand over her face. 'Last time this happened. Someone got emotionally hurt. I can't like him like that. I can't hurt him like that...'

(Y/N) had all these thoughts in her head until she heard a bang in the front room. She got up and sped to the living room. She walked in to see tom on the floor holding his nose in pain. (Y/N) couldn't help but laugh. She went in and helped him up. Took him to the kitchen and got out an ice pack.

"Jesus Christ tom. What happened?"

She was still smiling

"I started to get the feeling that I was gonna have another nightmare and jolted up. Didn't realise how small your sofa was though and ended up landing face first onto your floor"

He held the ice pack over his nose

"Let's just hope you haven't broken it again."

They both laugh and sit there talking for a while when (Y/N) gets a phone call.

"Hello? Who's calling?"

"Hello, it's John. Sorry about the unknown number thing. I'm calling from my house phone. Um, I'm calling to ask if you would kindly come down to my place as Evangeline has paid a visit and well, she won't leave"

"Err, Yeah sure. I'll be there ASAP. See you in a moment"

(Y/N) put her phone away, grabbed her keys and was about to open the front door till she remembered tom.

'Oh right. I should probably ask him to leave first'

"Hey tom? I need to go to johns place as Evie is there and won't leave. Is it okay if you either come with, or go home. I don't mean to be rude"

"No no. It's fine. I'll come with so that after you can take me to the doctors. I seriously think my nose is messed up again"

"For god sake. Okay yeah aha"

They both leave, (Y/N) doing her usual back and forth to check that her doors locked properly, and head to johns. When they get there John is sitting on his front step with his hand on his head, Evie is shouting at him with a bottle of whiskey in her hand and a crowd of people are surrounding the front garden watching the madness unfold.

"Jesus Christ"

(Y/N) awkwardly walks through the crowd and behind Evie. Her nerves were going crazy as all the attention was drawn to her.

"Evie. Look at me. You're drunk and upset and you need to come home. I can drive you back to your hotel room and we can sober you up. You just have to co-operate with me."

"You. Drive me? Ha! You don't even have a car!"

"Yes. I'm using toms right now. Come on Evie. You need to leave John alone"

"Just get away (Y/N)! You're ruining my plan!"

"Plan? What plan?"

"Well, after I was fired I wanted to get revenge. But I couldn't get revenge on John as 'he was only doing his job!' So I came over here trying to convince him it was all your fault that I got drunk. I was hoping he would fire you and hire me back but nooooo. You had to ruin everything like usual!"

"Evie. You're drunk! Don't be stupid."

"Stupid. I'm not stupid. I'm trying to get my job back!"

"By betraying your best friend? By trying to fire the one who got you the higher paying job in the first place! It's not my fault you were an idiot and smashed in a wall with a sledge hammer! Where did you even get a sledge hammer!?"

"Just piss off (Y/N)! You antisocial bitch!"

Just as she said this, two officers pushed passed everyone and arrested Evie for public intoxication and verbally abusing a member of the public while drunk.

(Y/N) went to check if John was okay and then went to the car. Without saying anything, she started driving to the hospital.

"(Y/N)? What happened?"

_______________________________

(Y/N) stayed silent as she walked up to the main desk.

"Hello, Yeah. We think we might have a broken nose and we would like to get it checked out"

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No we don't. We-Were we supposed to have one?"

(Y/N) now remembered what was happening. She got nervous again.

"No you're fine sweetie don't worry. Just fill out this form and hand it back in. We will call your name when a doctor is free. We apologise if the wait is long"

"O-okay. Thanks"

When she turned around. A guy was standing in front of tom looking rather angry. She walked over and heard what tom was saying.

"Look dude. I was just trying to help the girl. It's your fault that she got injured. Please, just leave me be"

(Y/N) put her hand on toms shoulder. All of a sudden she felt protective. As if she knows that tom is afraid of what might happen. As if she knows his backstory.

"Hey big guy. What's your problem. What has tom done to make you this angry!"

At this point nurses and doctors are holding the guy back as he got red in the face and was holding his fists shut as if he's about to strike.

"HE HURT MY GIRL!"

"What!? That's a lie. You fully well know what happened! And that is not it! I tried helping her!"

Without another word, a nurse came and moved tom and (Y/N) to another waiting room. They sat down not saying a word until...

"What he said wasn't true (Y/N). I tried to help her. I promise."

"Tom what happened between you and that guy?"

"I haven't told anyone this. But a year ago, I was walking through the main town centre about an hour from the studio and saw this couple having a fight. I just stood there. Like all the other amused faces. I just watched. But then it got violent. The guy, he-he hit her. So hard she fell to the ground. She didn't see it coming. She couldn't move her hands quick enough though. Her head came into contact with the ground so hard. I ran. I ran up too her. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't even get my phone out before he started blaming me. But he didn't seem to understand that...it was his fault. He blamed it on me. As if I was the one who hit her. He threatened me. Usually a threat does shit all to you right? But I was under so much stress. A-and...it was so strange, I looked up at him and...I could almost see myself in him. I could see he was just a guy who was trying to get through life and was almost struggling and he just got angry But then I remembered, you don't hit someone when you're angry. You hit them when you thINK YOU'RE IN CONTROL WHEN YOU'RE FUCK- fucking not!"

Tom was trying not to get angry. Not to get upset. Not to cry.

"I-i knew that he was actually nothing like me. But I was terrified. What if I get so stressed one day...that I could physically hurt one of my friends...or even maybe my girlfriend if I ever get one. I was shocked and scared and I couldn't move. He walked away though and ever since. I've been getting these nightmares of myself as him. It was me but I was angry all the time and I was losing everyone and I just...I can't get that thought out of my head!"

"Well, tom. You know I can help you with that! We can get professional help. We can sort this out. I promise!"

"I just hope that I can end it all. Just get on with my happy lifestyle. Be able to act without being more nervous than usual. I just hope it will be over soon!"
