Chapter 10 The perfect boyfriend

Quanktumspirit smirking: "Isn't so perfect. Please review. And thanks PhineabellFan4Life for making it perfect. :)"

As Thomas got dressed in a nice pair of white trousers and a white shirt he combed his still damp hair. He placed a bit of cologne on from his father, blow-dried his hair, combed it straight into his style and then walked downstairs to meet up with his parents.

Ferb was dressed in a green shirt and white trousers and Vanessa had a black dress on with a white bow threw her midsection.

She took her handbag and took Ferbs hand in hers as well. Thomas walked into the kitchen and picked up his mothers' homemade potato salad. Then he followed his parents out of the home and across the road to Auntie Isabella and Uncle Phineas.

As the family got there-there were already various guests that Thomas knew off by heart. Auntie Isabella and Uncle Phineas. Then there were Baljeet Tjinder and his wife Ginger Hirano Tjinder with their three children: Owens, Kayla and Nevaeh. And Buford and Adyson with their daughter Amber.

"Oh hi, Ferb, Vanessa and Thomas." Isabella smiled walking up to the guests.

Thomas followed Phineas as he was lead to the buffet table and set the Potato salad down.

"Thank's uncle Phineas." Thomas smiled, "Where is Marie at the moment?"

Phineas smiled, "Marie is currently with her boyfriend upstairs in her bedroom. She said she wanted to talk with him there about something. She will be down in a bit."

"May I go up and check on her please?" Thomas asked.

The adults nodded and Thomas entered his uncles home. It was wonderfully decorated and more foods were still being brought in from outside into the kitchen as well as drinks all from friends and other families.

Thomas walked upstairs, walking past the childhood photos of his best friend and crush. He stopped at one photo showing them both together, just as he was moved to Great Britain with his family. Thomas carefully touched Marie's image and let a tear rolled from his eyes.

Then he walked further upstairs and found Marie's bedroom. The door was just on a lean. Just as Thomas was going to knock to let his presence be noticed did he hear voices within the room. He recognised them instantly as William's and Marie's voices. They seemed to be in some kind of argument.

"Please, Marie. I wanted to be our very first time." William begged.

"William's I told you 200 times, I don't want to have sex yet. I still want to live a bit before submitting my body to you." Marie explained back to her boyfriend.

"After being together for so long you might think you would want to take our relationship further than just normal dates." William sighed.

Marie hugged him, "William's... we will do it one day, just please not yet."

Williams just sighed, "I'll be outside then."

"W-" Marie was about to say.

Thomas stood outside the door just as he saw Williams walk outside. The teen looked at Thomas and glared at him.

"Don't you even think about doing any funny business with her." He threatened and left back down the stairs mad.

Thomas raised a confused eyebrow. 'What?'

He wanted to follow William's downstairs, but he also could hear Marie crying inside her bedroom. Thomas carefully knocked on the door and waited a short while.

Marie blinked and got up, opening the door she blinked as she saw Thomas at the door.

"What do you want?" She snapped at him.

Thomas raised a confused eyebrow, 'What was that all about?' His eyes were speaking.

Marie blinked and Thomas nudged his head towards the stairs, Marie sighed and walked back into her bedroom.

"Come inside Thomas... and I'll try and explain it." Marie sighed and hung her head.

Thomas closed the door behind him and walked after his best friend. He sat on her desk chair whiles Marie occupied her couch. Whiles sighing at the same time.

Thomas scanned her room to see if somethings have changed from 10 years ago, and there has.

Her ridiculous My little Pony posters were replaced with new singers and band members, boys and girls. Her bookcase was filled with fantasy, romance, tragedy and more books, her TV had a DVD player and too many romance and fantasy DVD's to count. Even her children's bed was scrapped for a big double bed. Queen size with pillows scattered on it and a purple covers to snuggle under, unmade of course.

"So, why was William's screaming at you? What did you do?" Thomas asked her concerned.

Marie shivered a bit and pulled a black cardigan over her dress before sitting down sighing.

"He... he wanted to get me to sleep with him... not like the stay overs we had as we were children, but... the... the intercourse one..." Marie explained blushing.

Thomas felt his face heat up, but his embarrassment was instantly replaced with hate and anger.

"He didn't... force it upon you yet?... did he? Or drug you?" Thomas asked concerned that his cousin might have been raped.

Quickly Thomas scanned over Marie's face, but her eyes were still dark brown like her mothers, they didn't show any sign overtaking any odd medication or alcohol or anything like that. And her arm's didn't have any cuts or bruises or signs that she might have been held by force by anyone.

"No, he didn't Thomas... I just don't want to have to give myself up to someone when the time is wrong... if you know what I mean." Marie pointed out.

Thomas nodded his head. "Rest now Marie. I'll keep an eye on the place to make sure you aren't disturbed. You look like you could use a good nights rest."

Marie smiled and nodded her head, she lay her head down on the bed and Thomas tucked his cousin in.

As she breathes calmly a small smile came to her lips. Thomas sighed as he felt tears almost falling from his face.

'I can't believe she's changed so much from when we were children. From a confident young inventer... to a woman who can hardly stand up for herself. I have to keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't come to any harm, as well as keep Williams in check.' Thomas thought.

Just as Thomas walked out of her room he caught sight of Williams, the teen hasn't left the house but seemed to be waiting in the hallway for him. Before the two could even switch a word with each other Thomas was already in a tight hold by Williams and he glared daggers at him.

Williams had Thomas pinned to the wall and Thomas couldn't fight him off him.

"Don't you dare try anything funny Thomas. Marie is my girlfriend. So back off!" Williams growled under his breath.

Thomas didn't say a word, Williams let him go and walked outside and back to his own home. Thomas sighed and walked back to his parents.

He had a meal before heading back home himself. 'I'd better hurry.'

As Thomas informed his parents where he was going he received the ok from them and headed straight back to his bedroom.

Knowing now his cousin might be in danger to her boyfriend Thomas wanted to make sure he can protect her at all cost.

So he went online and did some research about Williams, he learned that William's actually had at least 5 other girlfriends before even meeting Marie. Thomas found one of their email addresses and wrote to them. After sending the email he hoped that one of the girls could help him find out something more then what he was seeing.

Which was a guy basically on this earth to make women suffer. That was his impression he had of him. Or was there something else?

His Email account blinked and all 5 girls replied back almost at the same time. Thomas made a date clear to meet up with them at Costa Coffee shop in Danville, at 5 PM in that afternoon. All 5 girls agreed to it and the date was set.

After school Thomas headed home and worked on his homework, luckily it was a Friday, so he could go out as long as he wished for.

After finishing his homework he told his parents that he was going into town for a bit. He needed to buy some school supplies and he would be about 2 hours.

Vanessa smiled at her son, "Sure darling, have fun."

They handed Thomas $40 for his school supplies and a bus ride too and from the town centre. Thomas headed out and caught the bus. After travelling for about 20 minutes he reached the town square and went first into the bookshop.

There he got a pen and some ink cartridges, as well as stripped and blocked papers for writing and mathematical homework. After paying $5 for them he walked to his meeting point at the cafe, making sure he was at least 5 minutes early then the required time. So that the girls could find him easily. He told all of them to keep an eye out for a brown haired boy, a bit of a big nose and about 15 years old.

About 10 minutes later the 5 girls arrived. Thomas noted that all 5 were wearing similar sunglasses, which confused Thomas, seeing as it wasn't sunny.

"Thomas Fletcher?" The 5 teenage girls addressed him at the same time.

Thomas got up and nodded his head, "Yes that's me, Stella, Terry, Yurico, Anna, and Erica. Right?"

The 5 girls all nodded their heads, they got themselves cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, tea and so on before joining him at the table.

Erica spoke up first, "So Thomas, you said William Johnson has another girlfriend?"

Thomas sighed and pulled a photo of Marie from his purse, "Yes, Marie my cousin."

The girls looked over her photo and smiled, before handing the photo back to him.

"Sweet Thomas. Your cousin is truly beautiful." Terry smiled.

Thomas nodded his head, "However, I don't trust Williams as far as I can throw him. And you all seemed to have been with him as well. So my first question is... what happened to you all to break up with him? Why aren't you in a relationship with him anymore?"

The girls all sighed and seemed to display a face of pain and hate when talking about this type of guy.
"Well Thomas, you are right." Anna began. "Williams was a great guy. Sweet loving caring, basically everything a young girl would be looking for. However... Williams is also very pushy. With me, I was together with him for... about 4 years as he then began asking for sexualisations. But I strictly said no. I was not interested in having sex with him."

"Same with me." Stella said shaking her head, "We were dating as well, and again he was very pushy, he even at one time had me tied up on our bed and tried to force himself on me. But I managed to scream loud enough that my parents could stop him and get him out of the house very quickly. Since then I left him and found myself a more decent fella."

"Mine was on our first date to the mall," Erica spoke. "There was some video game that he wanted to get but couldn't afford, he told me to take it and meet him at our car. I kept arguing with him that we can go to jail for it but he didn't want to hear it. Then he drove away in his car leaving me in the parking lot miles from home. It took me 5 hours just to walk back home. I never saw him again, thankfully."

Yurico began to speak, "Wow, I didn't realize he was that kind of a person. I left because I found him cheating on me over her over their." She looked over at Terry.

"I did the same thing but saw him cheating on you," Terry replied.

"Oh well, I guess Will missed out on two very good people."

"Well, thank you all so much for giving me your time, we will keep in touch," Thomas said.

"Bye Thomas," everyone spoke in harmony as they left the café.

Quanktumspirit: "Thanks again PhineabellaFan4life. Good job. :)."
