There’s No Going Back - Part 2
I sat in that hallway the whole night, I’m surprised none of the neighbours had come out. My eyes burned, the lack of sleep and tears had dried them out and made them sore. I couldn’t find enough body strength to leave y/n’s place… I should have just got into my car and left but I just felt… glued to her. I knew I didn’t want to leave even after last night. I should be inside, holding y/n in my arms while we’re under the sheets, keeping her warm in the morning. My head pounded at the old memories and the sadness flooded back in. I had to make things right… I had to… I couldn’t live without y/n… even the thought of that other girl made me sick. how could I be so stupid to even try and replace y/n, she meant everything to me. My ears rang when I suddenly heard y/n’s front door open, I turned my head slowly and opened my eyes as much as I could though they were a bit puffed up from all the crying. The pain almost melted away when I was greeted with the lovely view of y/n, with a cup in her hand.
I barely made an audible sound. Y/n didn’t say a word but just placed the cup next to me and went back inside. When I picked it up it was hot to touch and it felt warm in my hands. She had actually made me a cup of tea. Taking the cup to my lips I drank from it, it tasted even better knowing that it came from her. I remember when I used to make her tea in the mornings and she would always be so happy to see me walking back to the bedroom with the cup in my hands. When I had finished drinking it up, it gave me enough energy to stand up, though the moment I did my heart started pounding again. I had to knock on her door with hopes that she would actually answer.
“Come on Tom… just… knock”
I placed my hand up to the door and knocked a few times, holding my breath till I finished. I waited for what seemed like forever but there was no answer. I sighed to myself. Who was I kidding, y/n is just nice like that, she was just making sure I was ok and that was it, there’s no hope in getting her back… no no no. I decided to leave the cup in front of the door and walk away. I shouldn’t push her… last night was… I could see she was hurting. It killed me to know that I caused her that pain… that I was the reason for confusion and doubt and tears. Though I wanted to keep knocking until she answered, I needed to just go home. I walked off, taking the stairs down. My eyes still hurt and became dryer when I got outside. The sun was just about coming up and the air was bitterly cold. You’d think for spring weather it would warm up already but nope… just as cold. I searched for my phone in my jacket pocket and saw the time, it was barely 5am in the morning. I must’ve fallen asleep at some point waiting outside of y/n’s door, time seemed to be frozen as I looked back up to her window high up in the apartment block. The curtains were drawn but the light was actually on… she was awake… probably thinking about what to do just like I was. Letting out a sigh I grabbed my car keys and walked to my car. I sat quietly with my hands on the steering wheel. I felt so empty… my mind was still playing flashbacks of what happened last night, how I just saw y/n’ s eyes fill with tears.
“Please y/n… I-I love you…”
The deep heavy feeling in my heart came back again and I felt almost claustrophobic, s-she loves me right? even though she didn’t say it back
“I don’t want to let you go”
“you already did Tom… that’s why we’re here…”
I began breathing quicker and the panic came back, I couldn’t lose her… no not like this, not when it was all my fault. I could fix this, I could show her how much I cared… I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down again but I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks
“fuck… Just breathe Tom… just… b-breathe”
I had to get some rest, I had to just clear my head. I started the car up and drove away, it felt like I was leaving something behind but I knew I would be back and when I do, I’ll try again.
I parked a bit further from home than usual, I wanted to walk in the fresh cold air for a bit. By the time I got home, it was 5:30 in the morning, the sun still taking its time coming out. As I walked I managed to calm myself down a little, I needed to just get some proper rest. As I walked up to the front door I got my keys out again and opened it, making sure not to wake anyone up. I closed the door silently behind me and walked towards the living room. Tessa slept peacefully in her little bed in the corner so I tipped toed trying not to wake her. I carefully took off my shoes, stumbling around a little but I got them off, followed by taking my jacket off and throwing it on to the couch. I sighed to myself again, resting my arms on my head just trying to get a clear head, trying my best to stop thinking about her words. I walked through the living room and began to make my way to the stairs in the hallway when I heard footsteps come down. When I looked it was Harry. No flashlight or anything just him in the dark. He looked to me as any brother would and I looked to him. We didn’t say anything for the first few seconds and he just stood still on the stairs.
“You went to her, didn’t you…”
I heard a sigh come from him and his voice was low, and you could hear that he cared.
he asked sincerely, but just by the tone of his voice, I could tell that he already knew the answer. I shook my head slowly and wiped away at a stray tear from my eye.
Harry walked down the stairs not saying anything else and embraced me, I hugged him back tightly. It was strange… this feeling of being consoled. For almost a month I never talked about what happened… and to suddenly feel Harry embrace me made me feel overwhelmed again and I sobbed lightly into his shoulder. I could feel him hold me tighter.
“It’s alright mate… she’ll come around”
I didn’t say anything else, if I did the words wouldn’t be comprehensible as my emotions would have gotten the better of me. We stood there in silence, except for the sound of my hushed weeping. A few seconds passed and I felt Harry pat my back as he released himself from our embrace. I let go of him but Harry kept on hand on my shoulder somewhat sternly. Once again just looking to me, not saying anything.
“I… I need to get some rest”
Harry nodded slowly and walked with me upstairs, the silence was loud in my head. I wanted to speak and get everything off of my chest but I just couldn’t think straight, my head was a mess. As we reached the top of the stairs, I carried on walking till I reached my bedroom door, Harry kept still outside of his.
“You know you can talk about it right?”
he whispered to me from across the hall. Maybe it was time for me to actually get this all out, maybe that would help me find a way to get y/n back or to at least get her to listen to me without crying.
I replied back with an evenly hushed voice. A small smile crept to Harry’s face and it reassured me that my brother would be here to help me. We didn’t say anything else after that and I had opened the door and walked into my bedroom. As I walked to my bed I could feel the hours of no sleep hit me like a wall, but yet as I laid there in my bed. I couldn’t sleep. My mind was at an unrest and all I could yet again, just like every other night… was her voice.
“Please… y/n I’m so sorry”
The sound of my phone had woken me up. My eyes still felt heavy, even though I slept a little bit. My head was still pounding with thoughts and it had formed into a headache that had stayed most of the night. My hand reached to the side, grabbing my phone from the bedside table.
“Thank’s for leaving the cup”
When I read the contact name my heart fluttered again, this was the first time y/n had texted me since our break up… I hate that word. I wanted to text back immediately but I didn’t know what to say, I want to call her up right there and then and talk but I had no words to say. I just wanted to hear her voice again, but happier. Not like last night where it was almost breaking with emotion. My arm fell next to me and I just inhaled deeply, I wanted to talk to her about all this, ask her for her advice and how I could fix this. I knew how to fix this but I wanted her reassurance, I wanted her to tell me that everything was going to be ok between us.
Trying to recollect my thoughts, I got myself out of bed. I’ve been wearing the same clothes for a few days now and I was in desperate need of a freshening up. So I took my towel from one of the hooks near the door and walked out, everyone was up. I could hear Paddy’s voice chirping through the house as he was playing with Tessa I presume. I sluggishly walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind me as I go in. Throwing my towel over the sink, I took my clothes off and stepped into the shower, turning the water pressure on and feeling the warmth as it came pouring down on me. I tilted my head down and let the water flow over my face, it felt like I was washing every thought away. Which worried me, I didn’t want to erase y/n from me. I could still feel her touch on my hands from when I got the millisecond to hold her hands in mine. The softness of her skin against the roughness of mine. I wanted to hold her again, to touch her and not have her push me away; The thoughts came flooding in again so I cut this shower short. Turning off the water pressure I stepped out and grabbed my towel, wrapping it around my waist. The steamy from my shower had filled up the bathroom and when I inhaled I could feel it go into my lungs. I stood for a moment looking to the mirror, looking at myself and how tired I looked. Each day I got progressively more drained and tired. Each night my sleep was getting less. I really couldn’t function without y/n. I snapped my self out of my thoughts, I had to otherwise I’d get sucked back into this spiral of panic again. I dried my self up and made my way out of the bathroom, picking up the clothes on the floor at the same time. The steamed rushed out as it met the cold air from the hallway. Once I made it back to my bedroom I got some clean clothes out, the idea of talking to Harry about all of this came to my mind as I was getting dresses. Maybe if I just had a talk and explain how I wanted to get y/n back, it would actually give me the strength to do it. After getting dressed I grabbed my phone, still looking at the text y/n left me. Should I just reply to let her know that I actually did read her message? In the moment I sent a quick reply, holding back all the words I really wanted to say and just keeping it simple.
“Thank you for the tea, it helped”
After I finished writing it up I pressed send and shoved the phone back into my pocket. But every noise I heard as I made my way downstairs made me want to grab my phone, thinking y/n would have replied. Walking into the living I saw Patty sitting on the couch watching tv. I walked over to him and messed up his hair a little causing a laugh to escape him.
he rushed his words and quickly climbed up the couch turning to face me.
“Look what Tess brought in today!”
he said excitingly, I looked to him curiously as he held up a strange-looking chewed up… dog tog?
“I don’t know… but she sure loves to chew it”
His big smile lit up his face and he threw the toy across the living room causing Tessa to run at it and pick it up. As I watched Tessa play I heard footsteps walk into the living room, when I turned I saw Harry walk in. He still had the expression on his face just like when I saw him this morning.
I said low to him, a cheeky grin grew on his face with his reply
“Almost bloody mid-day Tom”
We shared a light laugh and I walked over to him.
My voice was hushed as to not alert Paddy about anything, Harry nodded and proceeded to walk past the living room and into the back garden. I followed him and closed the sliding door behind us. We took a seat on one of the garden chairs and there was still a few seconds of silence before Harry spoke again.
“So what happened last night then?”
He asked softly to me. Hearing his question sent me back to last night and the visions of y/n’s tears came back to me but I had to talk about it. To analyse where I went wrong so I could go back to y/n and give her what she wants.
“I… after I left home I just drove off and parked in some empty parking lot… I dunno but everything just felt too much”
I could feel that lump crawl back into my throat with every word but I had to continue
“I-I… I had to see her… Harry, I had to… if you saw how s-she looked at me”
I cut my self off by taking a breath, Harry kept quiet the whole time that I spoke and it felt… like all the words spilled out of me as I recollected everything that happened last night.
“I caused this… I caused her so much trouble a-and now I don’t know what to do. I want her back… so so bad and I know she must think of me the same way”
I stopped for a moment, catching my breath as the emotions flooded back in. Harry seemed to be thinking of what to say to me.
“What do you want to do then?”
I looked around the garden as I thought of how to answer Harry. What did I want to do? how would I do it in such a way that wouldn’t push her away?
“I don’t know… I want to talk to her, properly this time. Last night I let my emotions get the best of me. She sent me a text for the first time in ages this morning… I want to call her but I don’t know”
“I say you should call her, she answered your call last night so clearly she does want to speak”
The idea of calling her up made a knot form in my stomach, it was the butterfly feeling. I wanted nothing more than to hear her voice but yet again… could I handle it.
“But what do I say to her? I want to see her again”
“Well then say that, she probably just wants to hear you say these things, you know. Giving her the reassurance that you actually care.”
he had a point. She could have just left me alone the whole morning, not bothered to check on me or even text me a few hours later. Maybe I just had to show her that I still would do anything for her.
“Thanks Harry, I think I’m gonna give her a ring”
Harry smiled and got up from his seat walking towards the door inside.
“Remember, just prove to her that you love her”
I smiled back at him and he went inside. I took my phone out from my pocket and just looked at the screen. come on Tom you can do this. I unlocked my phone and called her up almost hesitantly. The ringing sent shivers down my body, each ring felt like it took forever and just as I was about to hang up she picked up.
Once again there was that bloody silence between us. I gulped down my words and tried to make sense of what I wanted to say.
Before she could answer I realised that was such a stupid question, of course she’s not good this is just ridiculous.
“Sorry ah… that… that was a stupid question you don’t need to answer that I’m sorry”
I took a deep breath in at her words, y/n’s soft voice over the phone was already enough to calm my nerves down.
“I um… I wanted to say thank you for the tea this morning”
“Actually, y/n… I just wanted to hear you talk again… I’m sorry about last night I shouldn’t have just bombarded you with all this… I just…”
Taking another deep breath in I continued with what I wanted to say, I had to make this up to her.
“I wanted to ask if I could see you again…”
I waited a moment as I just heard silence coming from y/n’s end. I wanted to almost speak again but I gave her the time she needed to think. Then I heard a sigh
“How about later tonight…?”
Her voice almost squeaked through, and her reply sent my heart fluttering with joy.
“yeah! yes, I mean yes… I’d really like that”
I almost wanted to scream with happiness but I composed my self and waited for y/n to speak again.
“Come by around 7:30? I have to do a few things today but we could maybe… have a nice… dinner”
The smile of my face grew with each word I heard from her. This was it, I could finally talk to her and tell how much I know I messed up and how much I just love her.
“Sure that sounds… that sounds perfect. I’ll see you later tonight then”
Y/n hung up the call and though I was sad that I couldn’t hear her lovely voice again, I was as excited as any little kid. This dinner would be perfect. I rushed inside and saw Harry sitting on the couch with Paddy
“Dinner tonight at 7:30!”
I had a huge smile on my face and Harry showed a smile to me along with a light chuckle
“Perfect mate! Told you, just need to talk”
My mum soon walked in and I still felt that adrenaline rush of what just happened and the thought of what happened yesterday between me and her popped back to my mind. Without any warning, I ran up to her and hugged her tightly
“Oh tom! what’s all this then?”
she said with shock wrapped her arms around me too
“I’m sorry for yesterday, ok I really am”
I pulled away from our hug and looked at her, a smile still growing on my face
“You were right mum, y/n is wonderful… oh so wonderful girl and we had something special. And I’m getting her back! I’m not letting her go”
I watched as a warm smile grew on to my mums face, I knew she was happy when I said my words. She loved y/n just as much as I did, in a house full of boys she claimed y/n just as if she were her own daughter.
My mum pulled me in for another tight hug and let me go.
“Tell her we miss her too dear”
I nodded my head and walked away from her and towards the front door
Harry asked from the living room
“To get some things for tonight! I know what she likes and it’s about time she gets something that would make her happy”
I took my keys and opened the front door. I had to pick up a few little things that would help with tonight. When I got into my car, the sudden feeling of panic crept back in. What if I screwed this up? or what happens if she just doesn’t want to try anymore stop thinking like that. What do we talk about tonight? I didn’t really think that far ahead and the only words I could think of was telling that I loved her. I could tell her for hours how much I loved her… let’s just hope that after tonight, I get to actually do that.
