Y/N's POV

Friday came around faster than I thought it would, I can't say that I was happy that I was finally going to find out the reason why Tom stopped talking to me, I was nervous, when I was in California, I often wondered what really happened between us, did I do something wrong or say the wrong thing at the wrong time but every time I had those thoughts, I told myself, that I had to focus on studying and my exams and try to forget about him.

Did I? No. He was just always there in my head, and I knew he wasn't going to get out any time soon

So I was in my room, putting on my shoes, it was late in the evening, about quarter past nine, we wanted to get everything we wanted to do out of the way and then have the talk now, it seemed like a good idea but even now I'm still nervous so when I finished putting on my shoes I was about to leave my room when I saw the heart-shaped locket Tom gave me sitting on my nightstand, the locket really meant everything to me, it brings back many memories, it made Tom and I closer than we already were, and it was probably one of the only gifts that I've kept with me

I picked it up and opened it, there was a small picture that, Nikki took of me and Tom, it was just like any normal day, I was over at his house, and we were in his backyard and we were playing tag with Tom's little brother Paddy, he was eight at the time, and Nikki was taking photos of the backyard, and the trees with the sky and everything and we just happened to be in the background

When we were running, Tom was behind me and I wasn't looking where I was going and I tripped, with Tom being behind me, he tripped as well, we both busted out laughing, we turned over and laid on our backs, I rested my head on Tom's shoulder, we were still laughing, we heard a flash and we looked up and saw that Nikki took the photo and on my part, I'm happy she did

I put the locket down and remembered I still have to go to Tom's since we literally lived beside each other, it wasn't much of a problem, I went downstairs and out my door, I walked over to his house and knocked on his door, my heart was beating so fast, I didn't know why but I felt a little lightheaded maybe it was my nerves

After a few seconds, the door opened and Tom stood in front of me, and neither of us looked happy to do this, and that made me scared

"Hey," He said as I came in

"Uh, Hey" we went over to his living room and we sat down on his couch beside each other

"Uh, would you like anything?"

"Water would be nice" Tom nodded and went to his kitchen, my throat started to get really dry and my hand was shaking, I hid them in between my thighs, to try and get them to stop, I took a deep breath in and exhaled

"Here's your water" Tom handed me a glass cup of water and I drink about half of it then set it down on his coffee table, he sat back down beside me

"So, where do you want to start?" Tom asked me

"I just want to know why you stopped talking to me. Did I do something wrong?" I felt this heavy weight on my chest and my heart was beating at a rapid pace again. If I'm being honest I was scared what Tom's reply was going to be

"You didn't, I-I uh, I stopped because I thought that was the best way to get out of my head, to forget you because after that kiss we had at the airport, I knew I liked you but then you just left and I thought that I was never going to see you again, and that messed with my head a little bit, I missed you so much, that I couldn't focus, I couldn't focus to the point where I would keep messing up my scenes or I would just zone out, my directors and my co-stars complained even Haz did so one day I told myself that enough is enough, you weren't coming back so I tried everything to forget you"
