Belle's POV

I waved bye to Chris and Ivory as they drove away after dropping me off. My mind raced with thoughts of the movie we've just seen. I walked up to the door. Strange, it's unlocked. I opened the door. "Tom! I'm back!", I said. No response. I went to the living room and sighed.

There was Tom, asleep on the couch, but something wasn't right. His face was wet and two saggy bags were under his eyes. He breathed slowly, and it sounded as though tears were clogging his throat. I sat down next to him and rubbed his shoulder, "Tom, are you okay?" His eyes immediately opened at the sound of his name, and they met mine. "Belle...", Tom croaked. "Yes. It's me. Why were you crying?"

Tom's POV
As soon as she asked that question, I felt like sobbing again. But, if I told her the reason, she'll only do it sooner. Then again, I never told her how vampires died, besides sunlight. Sunlight would take a while.

I sat up and hugged her, crying the whole time I spoke. "Juliette Count visited. She said that you had second thoughts about life. I was horrified and shaken. Oh, Belle! I don't want you to die!!!! Please don't kill yourself!!!!!!! I thought I lost you!!!!!!" I buried my head into her chest like she was a mother and I was her son, comforting me after being scared by a nightmare.

Belle's POV

"Aww! Thomas!", I said looking down at his head pressed against me. "I didn't mean to scare you. I was at the movies with Chris and Ivory." I ran my fingers through his brown curly hair.
"What movie?", his muffled voice asked. "Ant-Man, sweetie. And if you don't believe me, you can ask the girls yourself.", I answered.

He sat up and pouted, "I wanted to see that too." I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Want me to take you now?", I said. His eyes lit up and before you know it, he was at the car. "Come on, Belle!!!!! Hurry up!!!!", Tom whined. I laughed and drove us to the movie theater.
