Tom Holland Imagines

Why didn't I protect you?

Uhh this is a long one guys

This couldn't possibly be happening to you right? You'd never done anything wrong. Why would someone choose to break into YOUR house? You held your breath as you heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Would you pretend you were asleep? Or was it better to hide in the closet? As silent as possible you jumped out of bed. The closet seemed far more save. But just as you were about to open its door you felt a body present in the room. You were shivering. You didn't turn around, you just squeezed your eyes shut as you waited for what would happen next. Why wasn't the police here already? The second you knew someone had entered the house you called them. You were whispering whilst hiding under the blanket. Maybe they didn't understand what you were sayi....

Next thing you knew was that you woke up in an ambulance. You blinked a few times at the white light around you. You wanted to sit up but a sharp pain at the back of your head stopped you from that. As you wanted to touch the hurting spot you realized you had a bandage wrapped around your sculp. You shrieked. What happened?

"Miss, hello Miss? Are you okay? How do you feel?" someone asked you and you explained how your head hurt like hell.

"That's because the man slapped you on the back of your head with his gun."

You panicked. He's had a gun? The man next to you gently helped you to sit up and then gave you some pain killers.

"Don't worry, the police has got him and already drove off with him. But there are other officers who wanna talk to you, if you feel ready for that?"

You gulped. Were you?

After what felt like hours of explaining to the police what exactly had happened you were finally let into your house again. You couldn't help but shiver. You were now all alone again.

The ambulance and the police had left. You didn't know what to do so you got Tom's bedding from his side of the bed (because it would smell of him) and take it downstairs with you. You prepared yourself a hot chocolate and lied down on the couch to watch some more episodes of friends to distract you.

You couldn't really pay attention to it though. It was like you were completely blanked out. If only Tom would be home. But he's been filming outside the city and wouldn't return home until the next morning.

So, without him by your side to assure you everything would be okay, all you saw in your head were the pictures of the events from earlier.

Only after a few more hours, when the sun was already rising again, you finally felt yourself drifting off to sleep.

"Y/n? Y/N?!" You startled as a loud voice interrupted your light sleep.

"Ouw" you groaned as your head was still hurting a lot.

"Y/n, what happened to the window?"

It took you some time to realize he meant the window that was scattered by the burglar last night.

"Babe, gosh are you okay?" Tom rushed to your side as he saw the state of you.

He kneeled down next to the couch and grabbed your hand.

"What happened?" his voice was flustered.

You couldn't speak. You just couldn't. As you took in Toms figure in front of you and once again recalled everything that's happened last night you eventually broke down. It was like you've only now realized what had happened.

You felt two strong arms wrapping around you to lift you up and place you on Tom's lap afterwards. He pressed soft kisses onto your shoulder as he pressed you tightly against his body.

"Please tell me what happened" he spoke after a couple minutes, his voice breaking.

You finally looked up at him. Your voice came out only as a whisper as you told him what had happened. As you finished Tom jumped up in a furry. His hands were balled to wrists and he stormed around the couch. Your eyes followed him to the glass doors which he opened. He stood there for a few seconds before a loud scream escaped his lungs.

You winced. Tom came back in again.

"Why wasn't I here?" his voice was still loud and filled with anger. "Why didn't I protect you?"

"Tom please it wasn't your fault" you tried to calm him down but it wouldn't work.

"I should have been here" he howled and punched with his fist against the wall. You shrieked but he didn't even blink.

"Don't hurt yourself" you whispered, your eyes filling with tears. "You're scaring me."

Tom looked up surprised, his features immediately softening. He rushed over to take you in his arms again.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered. "I'm just so angry at myself that I let this happen to you."

You rubbed his back as you suddenly felt liquid running down your neck. "

Hey, hey babe look at me" you pushed Tom away from you a little to be able to look into his eyes. Tears were streaming down his face and it hurt you to see him like this. You softly brushed the tears away with your thumb as you couldn't help but start crying again too.

"It's gonna be okay. I'm fine now that you're here with me" you assured Tom. He nodded, sniffling.

"I won't let anything like this ever happen to you again" he promised and pressed his lips to yours as if to seal the promise.

You smiled against his lips, it was salty from both your tears but you could care less as being close to Tom was all you really needed right now.
