Toms pov

I crumpled to the floor! Stella is my mum, my mum my mother! Why did no-one tell me! I put my head into my hands and cried non-stop. Most people would see finding there birth mother a good thing but I don't. I didn't even know I was adopted. I feel cheated. When I lived in Vulcan this was so much better I lived with my father my biological father. He was kind but showed no emotions. I suppose he was just like every other Vulcan learning to control your emotions before they control you. That's what I have to do. I heard the lift doors open. "Yes," asked Zoe "he knows," said Stella between sobs. "TOM!" I heard Neish shout. I wiped tears from my eyes and recovered quickly. I walked into main HQ, and saw Stella still crying. "How are you not crying?" Asked Dan! "Emotion will be humanity's downfall" I replied calmly. That's not what my head was like I was screaming and kicking and crying and I just wanted to know what the bloody hell was going on. I walked into the lift and waited for it to reach the top. I stepped into the hall and started walking home. "Tom wait up!" Neish yelled. I turned and she ran up to me upon seeing my tears she threw her arms around my neck and spoke softly "everything is gonna be ok Tom. I won't let her hurt you. Ever."

"It's not her I'm worried about." I said before I could take no more the tears poured out of my eyes and I felt Neish wrap her arms around me. I felt safe from the world for the first time ever. Neish picked me up and helped me home. Shaking I opened the door and invited her in. Now what should I do? My room? No way to messy and small. Front room? Uh uh it's got all my science awards in it. Dining room? Well it will have to do I just hope she doesn't see the picture of me playing Toby in "sweeny Todd". Oh no what if... I lead her into the dining room. Neish picked up the remote and turned it on. The words "Toms first main part: Toby sweeny Todd" flashed up on the screen I put my head in my hand as a slightly younger version of me began singing.

Neish P.O.V

I smiled to myself he was really good. Then I realised that Toms character sang my favourite song "not while I'm around". I couldn't help but feel as though I was alone so I turned around and saw that Tom was no longer in the room. I walked up the stairs and found a door covered with blade quest stickers and photos if Tom playing characters. Over the top was a message that read "life is a stage so dance like no-one is watching and sing your heart out". What a beautiful message. Carefully, I opened the door and heard Tom drop something and quickly pull down his sleeve. Please not Tom no-one deserves this. I walked Over and sat on the bed next to him. Taking his arm, I pulled up his sleeve to reveal carefully placed incisions. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a tight hug. "I can help, what do you need, I can help," I whispered.

"Then go. I can't do this Neish. I can't" he sobbed.

"I can't," I said

"Why not? No-one cares anyway!"

"Because I love you!" I yelled "Sorry I better go cuz you clearly don't like me" I said heading towards the door I walked down the stairs and to the front door where Tom was already stood. How? He knows the place there could be all manor of passages. "Tom move!" I yelled

"How about no." He replied. I walked closer.

"Tom get put of my way. Or I swear god forbid I will rip you limb from..." I was cut of by the sensation of Toms warm lips crushing against mine. I moved my hands and curled my fingers against his chest and felt his arms around my waist. "I love you to," he whispered as I rested my head in the crook of his neck.

"Well that's good isn't it. Are you ok?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Surprisingly ok," he said "I had my doubts always."

I looked up at him and saw the sadness in his big brown eyes.

"Your sad" I said

"I just never expected it to be true," he sobbed. The pair went into the sitting room. "Tom" I asked

"Yes" he said

"Umm you know that video," I started he put his head in his hands " well I'm a big musical person and Toby sings my favourite song "not while I'm around" and I was wondering if well it could be our song."

"Of course it can!" Said Tom smiling.

"I love you tom Tupper," I said as curled up on the sofa snuggling into his chest until I felt safe. Safe from everything. I felt at home.
