I Wouldn’t Be Complete Without You 2
OK so here’s the plan for this! So this is probably going to be 4… maybe 5 part story. Then i want to continue with one-shots. Like their high school years, life as his assistant, life after the story. All that. I have some ideas, but i will also take suggestions/requests.
I Wouldn’t Be Complete Without You One-Shot Masterlist HERE
I had a great time tonight; David is such a sweet guy. He’s a damn good kisser too. We made out in the parking lot like two horny teenagers for about 10 minutes not caring who was around. It was late, really late. I knew I needed to be quiet walking into the house, not wanting to wake anyone… especially not Tom. Even though he seemed calm, cool, and collected about it earlier… he’s definitely not done discussing my relationship.
As I opened the door, I slid my heels off and tip toed through the house. I was about to walk up the stairs when a light turned on in the living room.
“Pretty late” I heard Tom’s voice say from his chair
“Last time I checked, as a 37-year-old woman I don’t have a curfew” I said in a joking manner
“How was your date?” he asked with sarcasm dripping from every word. I sighed this is what I wanted to avoid. I walked over and sat in the chair next to him.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about him. I just a friend set us up on a blind date and I figured it wasn’t going anywhere so I didn’t think it was worth mentioning to you.” He raised his eyebrow, as his silent way of asking me to continue “And then I got to know David and he’s a really nice guy… and I just didn’t tell you…. Because…”
“Because, you become over bearing ok? You feel the need to find everything wrong with whomever I’m dating…”
“Well I wouldn’t have to do that, if you were smarter about the men you date” he said
“You always pick trashy men. Men that are going to hurt you, men who have baggage” I rolled my eyes
“Every person on this earth have some sort of baggage… what am I supposed to throw away a good guy because I don’t know… he… he’s not a millionaire? Maybe he’s in a little debt? Maybe he doesn’t drive a $300,000 car”
“No, I don’t care about those things. You should know that better than anyone. Neither one of us came from money. You worked so hard at what you did, and you deserve all of this.” I said “But Tom not everyone is you… not everyone made it big.”
“Would you just listen for a second?” he said angrily “I’m trying to save you from this bastard who is going to break your heart”
“You don’t even know him”
“Neither do you” he said, throwing a file on the table in front of me
“What the fuck is that?” I asked
“A file on David Walter Harrington”
“You bastard” I said with tears in my eyes “how did you even find out his name?” I asked
“Your appointment book. You left it in my office… so I did a little digging”
“You mean you had Amanda do some digging” I said. Amanda is Tom’s publicist, she knows everything about everyone… and if she doesn’t she’s going to find out.
“You should look at it” I stared at him angrily “No? Then I’ll happily read it”
“David Harrington, 50 years old… a little old for you don’t you think?” I squinted my eyes
“Has been in and out of debt for the past 4 years… significant debt. He was fired as CEO of his own company for insider trading… also did 5 years in prison. Hasn’t been able to hold down a job in the last 7 months… seems he likes to go to work drunk. Oh, and this is my favorite… you’re going to love this.”
“He’s married and has been married for 30 years” I grabbed the file out of his hands, and stared at it. I felt tears running down my face. I’m angry at Tom for snooping, I’m angry at David, and I’m angry at myself for not predicting that Tom would do this. I threw the file on the table and walked away “You’re welcome” he yelled
“I didn’t say thank you” I said walking up the stairs
“Well you should… I just saved you from heart break” he said, I turned around and looked at him.
“Oh, yeah Tom because I’m completely not heartbroken… thank you so much for saving me”
“No, need to be sarcastic about it”
“Tom, leave me alone” I said
“No, we need to talk” he said I walked into my room, knowing there was no point in stopping him from walking in. I walked into the bathroom to get changed “Fuck, Y/N… I’m sorry you’re hurt… but wouldn’t you have rather found out this information from me?” I didn’t say anything, I just continued to get changed “Y/N” he said, and I groaned in frustration.
“Actually no” I said walking out “Because if I had found out on my own, then I would have come to you, I would have cried to you, my best friend. You would have held me while I cried, like you always do”
“I can still do that” he said holding his arms open
“No, because finding out like this is a big fuck you”
“Because, you weren’t snooping with my feelings in mind. You were trying to find something wrong with the guy that I liked… because you can’t stand knowing I spend time with people other than you”
“Whoa… slow your roll. Don’t make me sound controlling, I don’t care who you spend time with”
“Actually, you’re right, you can’t stand when I spend time with men who aren’t you… you act like you have to protect me from ever man who isn’t you”
“Then why can’t you ever find one good thing with any man I date?” I said
“Because, you deserve better”
“Oh, please that’s such a clique line”
“You are so fucking infuriating” he said
“Right back at you” I said
“You want the truth?” I just stared at him “I am trying to protect you from what I’m going through.”
“Bravo, you went and turned my heart break around on what you’re going through”
“Tom, I’m so sorry you’re going through a divorce. Ok. I’m so sorry, that you have to put Suri through this. I’m so sorry, that you didn’t get the happily ever after marriage we all dream of.” I sighed “But life happens. If I get divorced one day… then I get divorced I mean damn, it happens everyday. I can’t let the what if’s control my life. Neither can you”
“I just want to protect you” he said
“Well you can’t and I won’t let you”
“What does that mean?” he asked
“You’re really going to throw away a 20 year friendship over this?”

“I am so proud of you” I said wrapping my arms around his neck. We are sitting in the living room of his new apartment, watching his movie ‘The Outsiders’ I am smiling brightly “3 movies in 3 years…. not too shabby. I knew you would make it.”
“Y/N, what if this is all I ever get?”
“Please, you are going to make it big time movie star, i mean hell you’re already signed on for two more movies ‘Risky Business’ and ‘All The Right Moves’ I mean that’s a big deal Tom” he rolled his eyes “One day when you are traveling the world, you will think Y/N was right”
“You mean when we are traveling the world” I started laughing
“Tom, I can’t follow you are around the world while you film movies. I have a job here”
“None the less how will I make a living?”
“Ok, Mr. Movie Star, you know better than anyone I am no free loader”
“You can be my assistant” he said
“Your assistant?” I asked
“Yeah. That way you can travel the world together… we can always look out for each other”
“Really?” I asked “You, always want me around?” I asked
“Of course, I do! This is going to sound cheesy, but I wouldn’t be complete without you” my breath hitched Since the day I met him I always wanted to hear Tom say something along the lines of ‘I Love You’ and that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten.
“Please.” He said with puppy dog eyes “You know you would be lost without me” I chuckled
“I think you would be lost without me” I said
“I’d make it a week” he replied
“Oh, yeah?” he nodded “Where’s your wallet?” he quickly patted his pockets and started searching the room for it. “You left it on the bar after you paid the pizza guy” he groaned
“See, this is why I need you to be my assistant” he said “You always know everything I don’t” I rolled my eyes “Please” he said
“Ok fine” I looked at him “I need you to make me a promise” he nodded
“We will always be friends. No matter what” I said
“Always” he smiled brightly
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Of course, not Tom, I’m quitting my job. I need a break from this”
“We promised to always be friends, always look out for each other… that’s all I was doing” he said
“Tom, please can we just take a break from this argument. I’m exhausted”
“No, my best friend. The only person who knows me, the real me EVERYTHING about me, wants to walk away”
“For fucks sake Tom, I’m not dropping our friendship. I just think I need a break from you. I think maybe getting a new job is a good idea”
“You want to know the truth?” he asked
“The reason I am so picky over the men you date?” I watched his face change I could tell he really didn’t want to tell me what it is.
“Please Tom, just say whatever it is” I said completely physically, and mentally exhausted. I was surprised when he didn’t say anything, but walked over to me, and grabbed my face in his hands bringing our lips together.
I am completely shocked, I mean I’ve dreamed of this for years. It took me a few seconds to react, but kissing him was like being on cloud 9. I was lost in this kiss. When we broke apart , he rested his forehead against mine
“Tom?” I asked looking up at him
“The thought of you being with anyone, but me. Kills me” he mumbles “I’ve always loved you” he leaned down and placed a light kiss on my lips.
“Tom, I’ve loved you since we were in high school” I said running my fingers through his hair. Then he gently pushed me away
“But you deserve better than me” he said
“What?” I asked my heart suddenly breaking
“You heard me” he said sadly
“So that’s it? You tell me you love me… then say we can’t be together?”
“I’m sorry” he mumbled I walked over to the closet and grabbed my suit case and started stuffing it with clothes and personal items. “What are you doing?”
“Leaving. I’ll go to Katie’s house tonight… and I’ll figure something out after that”
“No, Tom. I’m leaving. I don’t think we can continue to have any kind of relationship after this. I think it’s best if we go our separate ways.
“Y/N please wait…” I heard him say as I walked out the front door.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Tom are you ok?” I asked. He is sitting in his office leaned back into his chair
“My wife just told me she wants a divorce… not the best feeling in the world” he said “I guess it’s to be expected… neither one of us has been happy in years”
“You know Katie is hurting too” I said “She, loves you. She just…”
“Is not in love with me… that sounds like a line from a movie” he mumbled “I mean I don’t even know why I’m so shocked… we haven’t even slept in the same room in the last 4 months. I should have seen it coming”
“Fuck, what are we going to tell Suri” he said, he looked at the picture he had of his daughter on his desk.
“Tom, I think you and Katie just need to sit down and talk”
“We did… and she made it very clear she no longer wishes to be married to me”
“Tom, you barely let her get two words out, you didn’t let her explain. You just walked away. I mean she told me why, and I think you should listen”
“Did she meet someone else?”
“Of course not Tom. I think it’s something that you both knew have always known. She just finally decided to say it before you both ended up forever in a very unhappy marriage”
“I’m not telling you. You need sit down and talk to her”
“Y/N” he said in a mocking tone. I sighed, Tom was hurting but didn’t know how to say it. “Look I have a meeting, so I’m going to go” he said starting to walk out of his office, but I grabbed his arm
“Tom, I think you need a hug” I said, he sighed. I stood on my tip toes to wrap my arms around his neck, and we held each other tightly and then he mumbled something “What?”
“Please, promise to never leave me”
“I’ll always be here for you, Always” I said back
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Y/N wait!” Tom yelled, as I walked to my car
“You promised to never leave me”
“I’m sorry for breaking that promise. I never wanted to break a promise to you, but I think it’s time we went our separate ways” I said before getting in my car, and driving off.
