A New Family

Chapter 8

(then next morning)
I grabbed the bookbag that phil had set by my door the night before, he explained it had what he would need for school inside the bag

Phil would have just explained it in the morning but he had to leave early for work

It was around 7 when tommy was dressed for the day and headed downstairs, "morning child" wilbur yelled when he saw tommy come down the stairs

"Good morning, and I'm not a child" Tommy said to both of he boys not just wilbur

"If you want food it's in the kitchen but hurry up so we don't miss the bus" techno said motioning to the kitchen

"No, thank you" tommy replied, "then I guess lets go to the bud stop then" techno said walking to the door

The boys walked in silence to the bus stop, both wilbur and techno had the school lunches in they're bags however forgot to mention to tommy to grab his

When they got to the bus stop they stood there for a few moments before the bus pulled up

The. Older to boys walked to they're shared seat in the middle of the bus,  but tommy was stopped "kid I don't think your signed up on the bus yet, ok going to have to ask you to get off" he nodded at the bus driver and stepped off the bus

Ηis older brothers were to cought up in conversation to notice, so tommy just sat on the ground where is the bus picked up his brothers and waited

He didn't know what he was waiting for since phil had also said, 'ill be picking you boys up after school'

But tommy didn't know this neighborhood or how to get back home, so he sat there and drifted off to sleep waiting for someone to notice he was missing

~technos P.O.V.~
Me and wilbur waited outside the school for dad to come pick us up, he arrived but he went back inside the school to the office to ask for tommy

Me and wilbur sat in the car me up front him in the back perusal

About 10 minutes later dad came out of the school concern showing on his face

"Dad? What's wrong where's tommy?" Wil asked once phil had gotten in the car

No answer

"Phil?" Wilbur asked again

Still no answer

"Phil!" I yelled, unlike wilbur I could see the worry on his face

"Did tommy get in the bus with you boys!" Phil asked as he started to drive

I thought for a moment before answering "he followed us on the bus yes, but I don't remember if he was on the bus when we got to school"

The car was silent as phil drove to the house, we ran inside half expecting to see tommy laying on the island in the kitchen

We all ran around the house looking for him

No one had found the boy

The next thing anyone said came from wilbur "we should run over to the bus stop if the bus driver didn't let him on he might be there right?" His voice was calmer then he was in reality, wilbur was just as terrified as the others

The three ran to the bus stop

They saw tommy sitting there tears streaming down his face

It seems he was having a panic attack

It was possible

"Tommy! Thank God we found you" phil said going and hugging the boy, h we wee was then joined by my self and wilbur

"I- I thought you left me hear for good" tommy muttered tears still present on his face

"Why would you think that tommy" phil said in a calm tone trying to stop the boys tears

"Because that's what my parents did, but then I was being a annoying kid. That was all my fault then, but I didn't think I had messed up enough for you to do that to me. Ιm sorry!" Tommy said

Phil was speckless as well as wilbur

"Tommy, we are you family ok? Familys don't leave the child or brother somewhere for no reason, and I can promise you that we won't do that either" I replied speaking for both my father and brother now
