Unless peas are started really early, they get some sort of blight when the weather gets hot, and you don't get a harvest. When hot weather hits, they choke.
Start your peas early.

IT MOST LIKELY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THEY WERE GROWING CLOSE TO YOUR TOMATO PLANTS EVEN THOUGH TOMATOES CAN CARRY SOME VIRUSES THAT COULD EFFECT PEAS THAT DON'T HURT THE TOMATO IT IS MORE LIKELY IT IS DUE TO EITHER EXCESSIVE HEAT AS MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE OTHER ANSWERS OR IF IT HAS RECENTLY BEEN WET IN YOUR AREA IT COULD BE DUE TO A BACTERIAL BLIGHT THAT WAS IN YOUR SOIL AND WHEN THE WEATHER BECAME SUITABLE FOR IT TO GROW IT HIT YOUR PEAS AND CAUSED THEM TO TURN YELLOW AND DIE. ALSO IF YOU APPLIED AN ABUNDANCE OF NITROGEN TO YOUR TOMATOES SOME LEACHING OF NITROGEN DUE TO WATER MOVEMENT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE AS PEAS ARE IN A FAMILY OF PLANTS KNOWN AS LEGUMES AND THEY ACTUALLY RELEASE NITROGEN AS A WASTE PRODUCT AND DON'T USE IT. IF THEY ARE EXPOSED TO A LOT OF NITROGEN IT WOULD DRASTICALLY EFFECT THE PRODUCTION OF THE PEA PLANTS AND COULD EVEN MAKE THEM YELLOW AND DIE.

It wasn't the tomato plant. Maybe the peas were not watered well enough.
