*your walking to school to meet Paddy at his house. Once you get to the house you ring the bell and Tom answers it.*
Tom: “ PADDY Y/N IS HERE FOR YOU!”
Paddy: “ coming”
Tom: “ so how’s school?”
Y/n: “ fine.”
Tom: “ come in paddy might be a while you want a drink or something?”
Y/n: “ no I’m fine but thanks.”
*you step in the house and sit in the sofa with Tom.*
Tom: “ PADDY WHAT THE FUCK HURRY UP YOUR GOING TO BE LATE!”
* paddy runs down the stairs in a hurry his hoodie half on and a cereal bar hanging out half his mouth. He put his shoes on quickly and slung his backpack over his shoulder.*
Paddy: “ ok let’s go.”
* yous leave the house and walk to school. When yous arrive at school your greeted by Sam.*
Sam: “ sup y/l/n!”
Y/n: “ shut the fuck up sam no one even likes you and your parents left you.”
Sam: “ I swear to god every word that comes out your mouth is just complete and utter bullshit. What you gonna do hit me with your PoWeRs.”
Y/n: “if you don’t shut the fuck up I will shove that fucking football up your ass.”
Paddy: “ take a breathe and calm.”
Sam: “ I’ll have you know th-“
* y/n lunges towards him and kicks him in stomach. Sam gets back up and threw a punch and y/n. You swear really loud then punch him to the ground then he trips you up with his foot.*
Paddy: “ oh my days y/n get of him you’re gonna get in so much trouble.”
* you continue to punch Sam in the face. He rolls over and pins you to the floor and punches your face. Your face was now bleeding and you didn’t have enough energy to fight back. A teacher runs over and picks Sam up. Paddy runs over to you and crouches down.*
Paddy: “ fuck y/n. I told you to not do that.”
Teacher: “ come on Paddy and get up. You’re coming with me both of yous.”
Paddy: “ but Sir we didn’t do anything.”
Teacher: “ you didn’t but they did they hit first.”
Paddy: “ he was being a dick I would’ve done it to you guys are such fucking dicks.”
Teacher: “ right that’s it paddy your parents are being called.”
Paddy: “ fuck you.”
*the teacher took yous all to the principal office and sat yous down as yous waited to be called in.*
Y/n: “ hey I’m sorry I didn’t think you would end up in here.”
Paddy: “ it’s not your fault it’s mine I swore at sir.”
*you giggle and then get called into the office. You walk in and sit down.*
Y/n: “ I didn’t do anything Mr Ross.”
Mr Ross: “ you will speak when spoken to young lady. You attacked Sam, you call that nothing.”
Y/n: “ in my defence he was being a dick.”
Mr Ross: “ this is your 4th time this term I’m sorry but you’re suspended for 4 weeks.”
Y/n: “fuck you mate.”
Mr Ross: “ I am not your mate. I’m calling a parent who’s that going to be?”
Y/n: “ my dads probably out in some alley getting high or drunk and fuck knows where my mums is, for all I know she could be dead and I wouldn’t give a flying fuck. I can take myself home.”
Mr Ross: “ I’m sorry but I can let you do that. You and paddy live close to each other and are close friends you can go with him.”
Y/n: “ I can take myself.”
*you grab your bag and leave. As you walk out the office you stop by Paddy.*
Y/n: “ I’ll text you later.”
Paddy: “ who’s taking you home?”
Y/n: “ myself, what about you?”
Paddy: “ mum and dad are away for a while so Tom is coming.”
Y/n: “ I have to go bye.”
*you leave before Paddy can say anything. As you walk home you sat down in the bench just outside the park and start crying. You then realise your name is being called.*
Tom: “ y/n are you ok why aren’t you in school.”
Y/n: “ it’s nothing I just gotta get home see you around.”
* you pull your hood over your face so he can’t see your crying.*
Tom: “ hey y/n cmon wait. Let me take you I have to get Paddy anyway it’s no bother.”
Y/n: I’m fine I just have to get home before my dad sees me like this and hits me.”
*you just realised what you said.*
Y/n: “ I mean hugs me.”
Tom: “ you know you’re a pretty shit liar.”
Y/n: “ I promise it’s not what it seems. Look I have filming tomorrow and I can’t go in looking like this. They’ll have my ear for this just let me go please.”
Tom: “ I’m worried about you. You can stay with us you shouldn’t be living with people who hit you.”
Y/n: “ it only happens when he’s drunk.”
Tom: “ tell me when you last saw him sober.”
Y/n: “ I dunno.”
Tom: “ get in the car.”
Y/n: “ no fuck off! I just want to go home.”
Tom: “ I wasn’t asking.”
Y/n: “ oh my, fine”
Tom: “ was that so difficult?”
*you get in the car without saying anything and Tom drives to get Paddy. He leaves the car. You wait until he gets and the school and take this as your chance to leave. You grab your stuff and open the door. You think back as to what Tom said about living with him in a safe space. You get back in the car and wait. A few minutes later Tom arrives with Paddy.*
Paddy: “ fancy seeing you here.”
Y/n: “ Tom made me. Can you drive me home and does anyone have a tissue I look like shit.”
* Tom chucks a pack of tissues and they clean themselves up. They arrive at your house and you get out. Tom gets out behind you and stops you before you get to the door.*
Tom: “ if anything happens call me, and I mean it y/n.”
Y/n: “ ok I will, thanks for the ride.”
* you smile as you walk into the house. You see your dad standing at the door waiting for you.*
Your dad: “ school called me. I’m not happy.”
Y/n: “ dad I’m sorry please don’t hit me!”
Your dad: “ see buts that not how it works y/n.”
* he lifts his hind up in a fist and punches you across the face. You fall to the floor and he keeps punching you. Your face is covered in blooding and it’s dripping all over your school shirt. Bloods coming out your nose and mouth and everywhere a cut is.*
Your dad: “ now before you do anything stupid I hope you think back to this moment and remember what I did to you.”
* you lay on the floor as he punches you again. He then leaves the house. You try to get up but fail. You try again and barely stand. As you go up to your room you think about how you have to film stuff tomorrow. When you get in your room you pack headphones, wallet, charger, clothes and toiletries. You leave the house and run to Paddy’s. When you arrive you bang on the door. To your surprise Tom answers. His head was in his phone and didn’t realise what happened.*
Y/n: “ Tom. I’m scared”
*he looks up at you and his face goes pale.*
Tom: “ y/n oh my god. Please come in. Was this your dad I swear to go if it was him I’m going to kill him. I’ll be right back.”
*he walk to the kitchen to grab some players and a wet cloth. He gets back and sits beside you and cleans your cuts*
Y/n: “ Tom I’m scared.”
*you start to break down and cry. You tuck your head into your legs. Tom managed to get most of the cuts cleaned and plastered. He walk to the kitchen and grabs a little light. He shines it into your eye and your pupils are super dilated and unresponsive.*
Tom: “ from someone who’s had a lot of concussions this looks like pretty bad concussion. You should get some rest.”
Y/n: “ I have work tomorrow. I might not be able to film anything but I still have to go in.”
Tom: “ I mean yeah you can sit in your trailer and rest and be there if needed. I’ll be there and Zendaya also Evans.”
Y/n: “ actually they don’t know about this situation. Everyone knows I have shitty dad but no one knows he beats me.”
Tom: “ how long has he been beating you?
Y/n: “ for as long as I can remember.”
Tom: “ I’m so sorry none of us realised. Do you want anything a drink or something.”
Y/n: “ I could so just sleep and never wake up ever again.”
Tom: “ you can take my room and my parents are away for work so I can have their room.”
Y/n: “ thank you so much Tom I really appreciated it . ”
* you and Tom walk to the rooms and take your separate ways.*
