This Is All My Fault

07: The Call

"Tom?"

"Y/n?"

"Yes, it's me." Tom heard a trembling voice go through his phone. Tom has tried to be in contact with her for 5 minutes now. "What's happening? is JJ okay? where's my dad? is he okay?"

"Y/n calm down, It's okay." Tom heard she was panicking. "Are you hurt?"

"I- I- I'm unharmed." she answered.

"Thank God." said Tom with relief. "Y/n, you to listen to me carefully, okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, i-is it something bad? Are- Are there many injured-"

"-y/n just take a deep, deep breath. Calm down for a second." He said calm. Tom's voice made y/n calm down. She don't know how, but it does. Tom hears that y/n does what he says. "Everything's gonna be alright."

"Okay." Said y/n, calmer now.

"To make it easier for you to understand, there are bad guys that are breaking into the White House. They've got guns okay, they're dangerous. I don't know what they want to do or achieve but you are in danger. I'm not going to lie about that."

"Okay." Said y/n scared. She's even more scared now than she was before. But she doesn't want to let Tom know because it will make him even more concerned.

But Tom had already realized that y/n is scared. Just hearing her voice broke his heart. "Where are you?"

"I'm at the library."

"Okay, I'm coming to you. Hide behind a bookcase in case someone comes in who shouldn't be there."

"Okay." Said y/n holding back her tears.

There is a moment of silence between the two of them. Tom is afraid that he will fail his job and he's thinking if he made the right choice. Y/n is terrified and wants nothing more than for Tom to be with her so she can feel safe again.

"It won't take long. I promise. See you soon." said Tom.

"Okay. See you soon." Ended y/n
