By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
'Tom... Tom. TOM!!!'
I looked at Sebastian that called me.
Me and Sebastian was sitting in a café, drinking our favorite drink. I needed someone to talk to, but I don't want my sister to know what happen.
Seb frowned at me, and took a sip from his drink. 'Are you alright, Tommy? Are you back to the Earth?'
'Yeah, just... Chris broke up with his girlfriend and I heard why, and it made me uncomfortable...'
I told Sebastian what happened, and he was gritting his teeth after I finished.
'That woman!' He almost breaks that coffee cup. 'Do you want my Chris to beat her?'
I looked at him strangely. 'That's a lady, Seb!!! Plus your Chris is a bit too gentle and good-tempered.'
'No I am very serious.' He looked into my eyes strict, holding my hands comfortingly. 'Do you want me to threat her? I can't just let a bad tempered woman to break our little Tommy.'
I almost choked on my drinks, and we laughed together.
But then a woman walked to us, and she was Sarah, who looked... mad.
She seemed that she cried and didn't sleep for night; her once silky hair was loss and messy, clothes untidy, and she looked at me eyes wide, smiling in a creepy way.
'You!' She pointed at me shockingly. 'You are that pretty boy that seduced my boyfriend, aren't you? Now we broke up, are you happy now!?! GO TO HELL YOU BASTARD!!!'
She screamed at me, my face was hot from shame and eyes were filled with tears. Than she splashed her hot coffee at me.
I put my hands in front of my face; hot liquid hit my palms, and splashed on the clothes in front of my chest.
My heart was in pain when I heard her words, but the pain on my hands and my chest were different; it was sharper, like burning.
'Tom!' Sebastian rushed in front of me, and looked at me. 'Are you ok? How do you feel?'
'Pain... And burning...' I murmured, and I heard Sebastian screaming at Sarah, who was laughing crazily, like what she did when she broke up with Chris.
Oh... Chris.

I waited with Tom worriedly for the doctor.
Tom wasn't talking much after that crazy woman splashed him with freaking hot coffee, and just dropping tears unstop.
His hands was burnt, so as his chest, and he is now using ice from the friendly waiter of the café to cover them.
The people in the café called the police, and they took away the woman that did such thing to Tom.
I called Tom's sister and his sister told me that she called the Chris that caused all this. Maybe I have to not see that Chris or I may have to strangle that man.
Then the doctor walked in, looking at the file which I assumed is Tom's.
'How is him doctor? Is he ok?' I asked quickly, standing up.
'The accident caused first-degree burn, and Mr. Hiddleston's skin have the condition of swelling and having blisters, but don't worry, I will give you antibiotic cream. Don't worry, it won't leave scars, but try not to stimulate the burnt area, like scratching or breaking the blisters.' The doctor explained kindly, and wiped some cream onto Tom's hands and chest, putting bandage around him.
'Rest for a few days, Mr. Hiddleston. It's great to have friends that cares for you.'
'Thank you, doctor.' Tom smiled at the doctor weakly, and walked out of the room quietly.
'Thank you, doctor.' I thanked the doctor too, and was about to find Tom, but the doctor pulled me and said,
'I know this is not my business, but it is more important to let him calm down. Maybe giving him time will be better. There are accidents, and I could just give him medical advice, you could just give him comfort a friend gives, but who he is concerning about could give him more.'
I looked at the doctor. He had bright blue eyes and curly brown hair, with pinkish lips that smiled warmly.
'Oh, by the way, I am James McAvoy.' He winked, and sat back down. 'Just letting you know my name, but I don't think you would want to see me again.'
I turned, and walked out to find Tom, but it may be right for the doctor. Maybe what Tom really need is not his friends. Sometimes innocents gets hurt, but that is what they have to go through.
And honestly, I can't really blame anyone.
Love sometimes cause pain, but it also have what human value most: happiness.
'Chris? I am coming home. I miss you too.'
