Que Sera Sera || Thomas

[SARAH JANE FINNIGAN]

Sarah had heard about Madison kissing Thomas right away. Madison came to her and told her herself right before Sarah had the chance to tell Madison about her being a seerer and having kept that secret from her. Madison had been the friend to take the news the hardest. And Sarah couldn’t blame her. She was a seer herself and Sarah should have told her before. But she hadn’t. They were still friends and everything had worked out, but it had been an intense conversation. She still hadn’t spoken to Thomas since they hung out on the beach a few days ago, and she was sure that she would never forget that day. It really was one of the best days of her live and she appreciated that Thomas had gone along with it all. She was concerned for her friend though. He had just told her that he was getting ready to try to be over Madison, and now Madison had kissed him. As much as Sarah was excited for them, she was worried that Thomas would possibly have mixed feelings. He had spent such a long time working to get Madison and of course it would be that as soon as he gave up, she would come around. Sarah felt a little bad for him. She was glad that they were finally together, though, and she couldn’t help but take a little credit for the match to herself. Sarah couldn’t remember a time when she had Seen Madison so happy.

Sarah sat at a small table in a quite busy café; a plate of pasta sat in front of her, but she hadn’t been all the hungry when she ordered and so after picking a few bites, she just let it sit there. Her journal sat out open in front of her. Sarah had kept a journal her whole life. They were always black and leather bound. And of course, they were protected by identification charms to keep any unwanted readers away. She was writing in a nice, purple pen at the moment. Different colors of ink helped Sarah to get out what she needed to say, and she had a lot to record.

A lot had happened for Thomas in the last couple of weeks. First he had been attacked and ended up in St Mungos for a week, then he had made it to the school trip and had that great day with Sarah, and then he had gone back to the hotel and Madison had kissed him, after about five years of him pining after her. It was all pretty strange and confusing, as it happened just as he was thinking it was time to move on from her. But now they were together - it was all quite strange and was doing his head in a bit.

He had decided to go for a walk to clear his head, and he soon came across a familiar blonde head sitting in a cafe at a table by herself. Smiling, he walked up behind Sarah and put his hands over her eyes, putting on a lower voice than his own. "Guess who," he said, laughing a little. Okay it would probably be easy for her to guess... maybe.

Sarah was a bit surprised to hear the familiar voice approach from behind her. And she definitely hadn’t been expecting the hands that had appeared over her eyes. But, she would know whose voice the hands belonged to anytime. How could she not? She had just been thinking about her friends, and thus, one of them had to appear; life was funny in that way. Though, in a lot of ways, she was glad that it was Thomas who had come along. She had wanted to talk to her friend about everything that had happened lately, and she hadn’t seen him since their day spent on the beach a few days back. “Hey Thomas.” She said and poked at his hands to get him to move them. “What brings you out here?” she asked and closed the cover of her journal, not because she was afraid that he would read it, she had barely got anything written before he arrived; closing the journal with the addition of another human had just become a habit. “Madison told me about the kissing.” She raised her eye brows, fully prepared to tease a little.

Okay, well his attempt to throw Sarah off the scent hadn't worked at all. He hadn't really expected it to, though, they knew each other so well that it would be unsurprising if they could fool each other after knowing each other for so long. He moved around and took a seat opposite her on the small table. "Hey Sarah. I was just out going for a walk, it's a nice day to get outside. And I had to clear my head a bit, I figured Madison would have told you by now. It's all pretty full on," he said with a wry smile. It was strange that so much had happened, he really hadn't expected things to go the way they had with Madison but now they were together. He was still adjusting to that idea. "I'd really pretty much given up on her. It's really strange to think that we're together now," he commented. "What are you up to? I'm not interrupting, am I?" he asked.

Sarah had worked so hard with Thomas for the past couple of years to try to figure out a way for Madison to see Thomas the way that he saw her. Sarah knew that Madison had long since her break up with James still harbored feelings for him and that she hadn’t seen Thomas as anything but a friend. Madison told Sarah that it all changed when she heard that Thomas, James and Rose had been sent to the hospital after the attack. It all seemed like such a sudden change and she didn’t blame Thomas at all for feeling confused and conflicted about it. That was exactly how she expected that he would feel. “She says you guys are dating now. I guess our plan worked out after all… What do you think about it? I mean, I would imagine you’re as happy as she is.” she said with a small smile. She was glad for them, even with the iffy circumstances. “No, you’re not interrupting. I was just going to write a little bit.” She shrugged and shoved the book back into her shoulder bag.

One of the reasons that Sarah and Thomas were still so close was that she was the only person who really empathised with him over the situation with him and Madison over the last few years. Because she had been so caring about that, he had opened up to her a lot, and so the two had stayed very close. So it was nice that he could talk openly with her about it now, too. He really valued Sarah as a close friend - it was a very different relationship to the one that he had with James, which was more about having fun and doing cool things than it was about really open and honest sharing. There was some of that, sure, but it wasn't as raw and open as it was with Sarah.

"Well, I think it's still sinking in, you know? Like, I'm happy, but I don't know if it's hit me that it's actually happening yet. It's like she's suddenly one hundred percent sure, and I'm still getting my head around it all," he replied with a slightly sheepish smile. "But I'm sure I'll get there. It's just been a crazy month and I need to process things a bit."

Though Sarah was extremely happy for her friends having finally gotten together, a part of her still couldn’t help but think that if it had taken them this long to actually get together, and it was only after seeing one hurt that the other realized her feelings for him, that maybe it was still best to think things through well enough before jumping head first into anything. But her number one concern was that Madison was happy, and that Thomas was happy, and she knew that they would both make each other happy in any way that they could, and that fact along let Sarah’s mind be at rest. She couldn’t express the feeling enough: if they were happy, she was happy for them, end of story. She wanted to protect her friends from getting hurt, and she didn’t expect one to ever hurt the other, but she wasn’t sure if she would ever be able to protect them from each other if ever it came to it. “I can imagine it would be weird. I mean, you guys have been just friends for so long and now you’re exponentially more than that. I would imagine it would take some getting used to.” She nodded. “But I bet it’s nice. It's what you've been working for...” She smiled and took a sip of her iced tea. “Do you want to order something? Everything is amazing here.” She pointed out.

Thomas did feel a bit bad that things seemed to have worked out for him since he and Sarah had last talked, but hadn't for her. Well, he assumed, at least, since she hadn't mentioned anything to him since then. "Yeah, it's all happened really fast. But that's okay we just need to take some time to adjust to it rather than diving right in, because it's going to cause a few changes," he said with a smile. "Thanks for all of your support, by the way. It's been so awesome being able to talk about all of this with you. I probably would have gone crazy without having you to chat to," he said honestly with a smile. Sarah meant a lot to him, and that definitely wasn't going to change. "Yeah, I just saw someone else's meal get delivered - it looked awesome. I'm definitely keen for something," he said enthusiastically. "Are you going to get anything?" he asked her as he picked up a menu to look it over.

Sarah looked down at her half eaten plate of food and then looked back up to her friend. “I’ve been eating for the past 30 minutes or so.” She told him. No, she wasn’t going to order any more food, she wasn’t even sure that she was going to finish the food that she already had sitting in front of her. “But I wouldn’t mind another iced tea.” She said and let the waiter know while he was taking Thomas’s order. “Every relationship takes time.” She told him getting back onto the topic of Madison. It was always weird at first, being in a new relationship. Though, she was sure that her friends would get used to it eventually. She hadn’t at all expected them to jump into being the perfect couple and had nothing awkward about their relationship, they had to learn how to change the way they acted around the other to switch from friends to… well… more than friends. “Well I’ll always be here, Thomas. Even when you don’t want me to be here, more than likely.” She smirked. “You’re stuck with me, get used to it, love.” She teased.

Thomas hadn't noticed her plate, but at that he grinned. "Gee, take it easy Sarah, don't want to ruin your figure," he teased. He thought there was no way she could really lose her figure, though, she was gorgeous. And she did look after herself, too. "I think I might go for an egg and bacon roll. Simple yet always amazing," he decided, handing the menu to a waiter and thanking him. Sarah's advice was always helpful, and he always appreciated being around her. "Yeah, you're right. And I suppose I'll just have to deal with having you around all the time," he replied, rolling his eyes with a grin. That definitely wasn't a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination. Sarah was awesome and he loved being around her. "So you and Madison are moving into a place together, right?" he asked her curiously.

“I’ll be having a bite of that,” Sarah insisted after Thomas had ordered his food, she had quite enough pasta already and wasn’t at all sure why she kept ordering it everywhere that she went. She supposed that just being in Italy made her want pasta and pizza and bread, but she was getting sick of all of it and would kill for a decent plate of fish and chips. “Yeah, Madison and I are moving in together into a flat in London, kind of near Diagon Alley once we get home… as long as she forgives me and we are able to get back to normal, of course.” Sarah sighed. She had told Madison about her being a seer and her friend had not taken the news well. But Sarah hadn’t expected her to and had prepared for this. She knew eventually, Madison would forgive her. They had already sort of made up and were still friends, of course, but she knew that she had hurt Madison by keeping this from her. She really should have told her sooner than she did, she should have told everyone sooner than she did. “There are a few other open flats in the building if you’re looking for somewhere. It’s small and sort of dirty, but I figure with a little magic it’ll do fine.” She said.

Thomas rolled his eyes when Sarah said she would have a bite of his roll. Even if he wanted to stop her, he wouldn't be able to, she was insatiable when it came to food. She hadn't commented on the slight teasing comment about her figure, but of course she was comfortable with how she looked so she wouldn't need to. When she said that Madison still needed to forgive her, Thomas' face turned to one of concern. "Oh... did you tell her about you being a Seer? She didn't take it well?" he asked, putting a hand on her arm comfortingly. "I can talk to her about it, if you want? I'm sure she'll come around. Nothing can come between you two, right? You're besties." They were that close that he couldn't imagine them not being friends. When she suggested there were a few other open places in the building, he had a thoughtful expression. "Actually, that's an interesting idea. I'm planning to move out of home but haven't worked out where yet. It would be cool to be close to you guys." Maybe that would work out? It would be pretty awesome being nearby, let alone in the same building.

SARAH JANE FINNIGAN

Sarah simply shook her head when he offered to talk to Madison for her. It was something that she and Madison would have to work out on their own and she didn’t want to get Thomas involved. Especially so early into the relationship. Sarah knew that Thomas was sympathetic towards Sarah and her secret, so she wasn’t sure if he and Madison would see eye to eye when it came to Sarah keeping it from them for so long. She didn’t want to start any trouble. She had gotten herself into this mess; it would be her and her alone that got her out. “Nah; thanks though. I’ve got this.” She insisted with a smile. “We’ll be fine, we are fine. I just feel bad for having lied to her. I feel bad about having lied to all of you.” She admitted. It was true, where were a lot of open flats, she knew they were open because the building was a little run down and the flats were rather small, but Sarah knew that with magic they could make it work without a problem. “I’ll be sure to get you the number of our land lord.” She nodded to him. “I’m sure Madison would approve, it would be fun having you nearby and she’d probably love it.” Sarah smirked. To be honest, the girl loved food. All food. But she also liked to stay active, so she was never worried about what food would do to her. She basically ate whatever she wanted... which was a lot of junk. "It smells so good around here." she said and took a drink of her iced tea through her red twisted straw.

Thomas understood Sarah wanting to sort it out herself with Madison. It was often better to do things that way rather than getting a third party involved. "Yeah, I understand. I hope it goes well for you," he replied warmly. "I'm sure she'll come around. I mean, it was yours to tell, right? It's not like you have an obligation to tell us everything about you," he said gently. He could also understand Madison being upset, but he doubted it would last long, because it wasn't like Sarah had done something awful or anything like that.

"That would be good, thanks. I might get in touch with them. Is the rent reasonable?" he asked her. He wasn't earning a lot at the moment, but once he got into the Auror training that would go up a bit. Soon his egg and bacon roll came, and he looked at it hungrily. "Wow, looks great. Go on, have some, I know you're going to anyway," he said with a laugh as he saw her eyeing it off as well. He loved how natural he could be with Sarah, they didn't have to hold anything back from each other. It was great.

Sarah still felt weird about it all though, she never wanted to keep a secret from her friends, especially one as big as the one that she had been keeping. But she was born with the obligation and she knew from an early age that secrets would follow her for her entire life. She just didn’t want them to follow her into her personal relationships anymore. Maybe it would have been easier for her if she had told her friends before; they could have helped ease the burden that had been put upon Lizzie from the moment she was born as well. Sarah hated that her secret affected more people than just her. She never meant for it too. “I feel like I should tell you guys everything, though. I trust you all… why shouldn’t I be honest? You guys are all honest with me.” She sighed.

“Not too much actually, but it’s all in muggle money, so you’ll have to exchange it.” She sighed. It was a pain living in a muggle city, but it was a large muggle city and it was close to the entrance to the wizard world: her world. Sarah eyed his food as well as it was delivered to him. She smiled, he knew her too well. She picked it up and took a bite of it before she put it back down and handed it over to him. “That is really good.” She admitted. It was a nice change to pasta and pizza. She took a drink of her iced tea before she spoke again. “So you’ve got quite the busy summer, haven’t you?” she asked.
