Songs for the Soul {Tom X Reader}

Chapter 11: I Promise.

"(Y-Y/N)? "

I froze. I'd forgotten about Matt's and Edd's phones. They took a step back as I stepped towards them.

"G-Guys, I can explain -"

" (N/N), what are they talking about? "

Hearing him say that crushed me, they'd all find out. I'd be done for, and soon Tord would too. My world was crashing down around me, too quickly for me to keep up with it.

Edd showed his phone to Tom. Tom stood there for a moment, shocked. He moved away from me for a second, looking up at me with confusion.

"(Y-Y/N).... It's a joke.... Right?"

I couldn't lie to him.... I've already done too much. I looked down at the ground, nodding slowly. I felt Tom walk past me, with out a word said. I looked back up at Edd and Matt, who watched me closely. Fuck it, if I'm going down, Tord is too. No mercy,bitches, im done with this sad act.

"TORD!"

Matt and Edd jumped back, tripping over the couch. Tord came down and gave me an odd look.

"What?"

" They know, basturd! I thought you were going to hide it! " I said quite loudly, Tom could probably hear me.

Tord gave me a 'bitch oh no you just didnt look.'

"Wait, Tord? You knew?"

I smirked, " Oh what? You didn't know? "

"D-Didn't know what?"

I motioned Tord to tell them. He sighed, giving in. We both knew they'd find out sooner or later, but it was sooner than we expected.

"I'm the Red Leader."

He said it boldly, looking down upon the two. Edd and Matt exchanged glances.

"So we've had two highly dangerous criminals hiding right under our noses?"

" Highly Dangerous is an understatement. (Y/N) is one of my most highly trained. " I glared at him, I knew what shit he was up to. He knew they'd let him stay no matter what, but me? Not a chance,but little did they know I had a little trick up my sleeve. Guilt.

I put on a fake frown, sniffling a bit, " Tord and I just came here to escape...We wanted a new start....B-But I understand if we should go....I'll go get my bags, I'm sure the judge would just love to send us both to execution-"

I turned around, about to walk away, but I heard Edd speak up.

"N-No! You...um... can stay... B-but! Please don't hurt anyone."

I smirked turning around, smiling.

"Of course not, I'd never hurt my friends!"

Tord gave me a thumbs up. I gave Edd and Matt a hug before going to check on Tom. I knocked on the door, softly.

"T-Tom?"

" ....go away. "

"Tom, please I can explain -"

"No need, you work for a commie, you lied to all of us, most importantly me of all."

" Tom, I did that to protect you! I wanted you to be safe! I did it so you wouldn't view me as a monster........."

I heard Tom hesitate for a moment, he sighed.

"....Fine.... but please, don't lie to me anymore."

I thought. I knew I was going to break this promise,so WHY NOT START EARLY?

"I promise."
