Dangerous Love

Could This Really Be True? (2)

Authors note: I hope you can listen to the song while reading. I know I could a few years ago when I used to read on here lol. Start to listen to the song after tom leaves the classroom (you'll know when, and I'll put a "*" indicating when to start listening lol. Ok sorry ENJOY!

*Tom's POV*

I'm soooo boooorrrreeeddddd!! I can't wait until class ends. There's literally nothing going on today since we have a substitute today. Not doing anything sucks.

*bing* my phone bings and I see it's a text from *y/n* she says that she wants me to meet her at her locker today before going to our next class because this creepy guy is staring at her.

"ok then I'll make sure to get there as quickly as possible." I texted her. She left me on read. I hope she's ok. I hope that the guy didn't approach her and that's why she didn't respond to my text. I got this feeling of wanting to go over there to her class and make sure she's ok but I'm pretty sure that's doing a little too much. I just have to make sure that I get there fast enough to make sure she's ok.

Finally there's only 5 minutes left of class. In a little bit I can make sure that *y/n's* ok. "Oh no what did I do?" My substitute teacher says. The teacher asks me to check her laptop since I just had to sit in the front of the class today. I check her computer to see what's wrong. I have no idea what happened so I try to check the wiring and check to see if it's just the battery but it was plugged in. After a while I hear the bell. Oh shit I gotta go check up on *y/n* she needs me right now and instead I'm here with the teacher fixing her 1st world problems.

Another minute has passed and this time I'm trying to hurry up and solve this. Then I try the stupidest thing that probably won't work but I'm desperate. I did it, and it worked. I turned up her brightness. What kind of fucking laptop goes completely black with its brightness down? I leave without even letting her say anything and just say, "you're welcome," I ran out of there so quickly. * I'm running and I'm finally getting closer to her locker. As I'm turning the corner to get to the hallway she's in I see her with this guy. I decided to just watch and not engage just yet. As long as I know she's ok there's really no need for me to worry. As I'm watching I see him get closer and closer to her. It looked as if they were about to kiss. I don't like that for some reason. All I could think in this moment was "she's mine. Don't touch her. Don't get closer to her." But why was I thinking this? The only way someone could think about a person like that is if......they loved them.

How could I love her? She's my best friend. I can't ruin that. She doesn't feel like that about me. And I shouldn't feel like that about her but the more I think about it the more I start believing these feelings. Why did they barely come out now? Was it because I felt like she was already mine?

From afar I hear her laughing. Shit. Did they kiss? I was so distracted by my thoughts that I wasn't even paying attention. I approach them slowly just so I can try to eavesdrop on what they're saying but it's really hard since they aren't talking very loudly. I get closer and closer and then I hear her say something that I did not wanna hear.

"Ok fine. I'll go with you to—,"

Oh hell no. "To where?" I interrupt and I felt myself getting mad.

"Oh tom," she says surprised then realizes something, "oh my god I totally forgot I told you to meet me here. Tom this is Xavier. Xavier this is my best friend tom."

He reaches to shake my hand but I ignore it, "so where are you going with this guy?"

"Oh well he was telling me that he was going to show me his studio in LA because he's an actor and that he's going undercover here at this school," then she turns to Xavier, "Which by the way Xavier what is the movie about?"

"It's top secret," he responds.

"Yeah but I'm assuming you don't even know the guy. So with that fact in mind you're not gonna go with a total stranger. Let's go *y/n* we're leaving," then I grab her by the arm, "excuse us mate. We're gonna be late to 6th period," then I pull *y/n* in the direction of our next class.

We turn the corner away from the dickhole and *y/n* stops me, "tom what the hell is your problem?"

"MY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU FUCKING SCARED ME," I start walking to our class, speak without making eye contact and she follows behind, "you texted me saying that this guy was creeping you out because he kept staring at you and throughout the whole period I freaking worried about you. Then when I finally got to you I see you and this guy inches....NO......MILLIMETERS AWAY FROM TOUCHING LIPS!" And I faced her when I yelled that.

Then I continued as I was beginning to walk again. The halls were almost empty since the bell was about to ring but whoever was still outside started to stare. "Ugh oh my god. Then I started thinking shit about you and I got distracted being in my fucking head and next thing I know you're laughing your ass off!" My voice was loud but not enough for it to be considered yelling. "Did you guys kiss?" I ask her annoyed. A little surprised she says, "oh my fucking god nooo!" Thank god!, "Tom what the hell is going on? And what were you fucking thinking that made you distracted?"

I can't tell her. Not now. "That doesn't matter. It's none of your business," I walk a little faster. The bell rings. That was the longest passing period I've ever experienced in my life.

*Your POV*

"We're late ok. Let's just go. Forget everything I said please," tom says very calm calmed, he looks sad, "I'm sorry *y/n* I was just worried about you. You really scared me and then you hadn't answered my text so I thought he had approached during class and I don't know, threatened you or something."

I was so confused but after he said that he put me back at ease, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to. He did approach me and that's why I didn't answer but he didn't do anything to me. He was drawing a portrait of me and that's why he kept staring," I take a step closer to him and put my hand on his cheek, "I am sooo sorry for scaring you,". He looked relieved as though he finally understood everything and it was all making sense to him. He place his hand that was on top of his cheek and leaned against it a little and closed his eyes and slightly smiled.

It was really never my intention to scare him like that and after this I can tell he really cares about me. It made me happy because I knew he would always be there to be protect me, and from now on I will too. We're gonna keep each other safe.

We head to class without saying another word to each other and I knew that we would be a lot closer from now on.

He's my best friend, and he always will be.
