"Tom! Tom" I ran behind him, completely forgetting about the scene that was being prepared for me. He was walking angrily, even if I couldn't see his face, I knew he was angry.

I finally trailed up to him and grabbed his wrist. "Tom" I said turning him around. Before I could say anything, he jerked his hand away and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer, he asked, "You're moving to America?"

His eyes lingered on my lips before finding my eyes again. Our faces were inches away but neither did he mind nor did I. I didn't try to free myself away from his grasp. He wasn't hurting me, he held me like he never wanted to let go. He was gentle.

"I'm-" I said but he cut me off, "How long have you known?" he asked looking into my eyes. If I say that I've known about this the entire time, for months now, he's going to lose it.

When I didn't answer, he pulled away and said, "Clearly, long enough"

He scoffed when I didn't reply to his snarky comment. I pursed my lips into a thin line, "I thought we were best friends. Apparently not, since Robert is here and you're moving with him to America" he said brushing his nose with the pad of his thumb once.

"You know what? Thank God, you're moving, I don't need people who lie to me in my life" he said running his hand through his hair.

"No, Tom, wait!" I half ran behind him when he left.

"Don't - Don't seek me out" he said not turning around.

I sighed and stopped in my tracks. Why doesn't he listen to me? I was still thinking about moving. And he was my first thought when my dad told me about it. But his words... his words hurt me.

"Babycakes" Rob said putting a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and cried on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me tightly while I bawled like a little baby in the middle of another set, unlucky for me, everyone saw the fight.

"Let's get you to your trailer" Rob said pulling me towards my trailer.

"No" I said closing my eyes. I wiped my tears with both of my hands and said, "I think our scene is ready"

••••••

After a tiring day, I was finishing up my last scene with Rob. I was totally distracted because of the fight and it was showing.

"And scene! Perfect shot, you guys. That's pack up for today" Alfonso said clapping his hand once.

Upon reaching my trailer, Nina helped me get out of my costume along with the makeup. I hadn't seen Tom the whole day, it was kind of sad, I was accustomed to see Tom so much in my day that I was totally distracted. I think I've made my decision.

"Your phone's ringing" Nina said as she upzipped me.

"Hello?" I said putting it on speaker and placing it back on my counter.

"Hey, Y/N, I was just wondering if you were coming home with me?" Rob asked sweetly.

"Er, no, you go on, I'll clear some stuff with Tom and head back home with him"

"You sure? I can wait if you want to, I don't want it but still something can go wrong. It'll be good if I'm here"

"No, no, no. I'll be fine. See you soon. Bye and thanks" I said hanging up the phone.

After getting out of the costume and makeup, I pulled my sling over my right shoulder and stepped out the trailer. Because Tom's trailer was exactly next to mine, it was easy to anticipate that no one was in there.

I sighed pulling my phone out. He had always been at the top of my call logs. This was the first time ever that Tom hadn't picked up the call in the first two rings, he didn't answer at all. Trying for another two times, I decided to text him.
