-TOMMY POV-

———————————

(This is about 6 days after Chapter 4)

Tw: Talk of death, sickness, and drinking

          Everyone else was asleep. Tommy was extremely bored. He sighed and sat up in his bed, looking over at the small clock on the wall. It read 4:37 AM. Tommy slid out of bed, and put on his shoes. He hadn't changed so he was in the same clothes he had on all day. He crept outside the room, careful not to wake anyone up. The last think he wanted was someone worrying about him. He didn't need their pity. He would be fine on his own. Everyone else would be much better if they would just leave him alone.

       Tommy crept down the large staircase, avoiding steps that looked like they would creak. He wasn't going anywhere in particular, but he just wanted to be out of that stuffy room where the silence was like a jackhammer drilling into this skull. He hated silence. It was creepy. He preferred the outside, where there was always an exit and it was never quiet. Tommy decided to go to out to the courtyard, just to cool off. Soon everyone else would wake up and he would have to meet that 'Phil' that Ant was talking about.

       He settled in a soft patch of grass underneath a small tree. He gazed off into the woods beyond the fence, wondering what Phil would be like. Ant said he might adopt them, and Tubbo would like that, so he would have to like it too. Even if he wasn't too excited about any of this, he would have to let Tubbo live his life. Everything was for Tubbo. Tommy would do anything for Tubbo, Tommy knew he had to. Tubbo was everything to Tommy, and if anything happened to Tubbo he would probably die.

         He sighed. This was getting boring. What time is it..? He crept back up the stairs into his room, checking the clock. It was 5:13 AM. I was out there for 36 minutes?  He thought, flopping down onto his bed. From what he remembered, Mrs. J would come around in about 30 minutes to wake them all up, and at 6:30 they would eat breakfast. Tommy closed his eyes, trying to squeeze in a few more minutes of sleep before that horrible woman slammed open their door and yelled at them.

       CRASH. There was a large bang from outside, and Tommy was pulled out of his bed. 

"Ow, what the hell man? I was trying to sleep..." he mumbled, looking up at whoever had grabbed him. It was, of course, Mrs. J. "Oh. It's you." He sighed, standing up. 

"Breakfast in 30. Be ready or no food." She rasped, trudging out. Tommy sighed once again, walking over to Tubbo's bed to wake him up. 

    "Tubbo. Tubbo. Tubbo." He chanted while shaking his brother awake, to no avail. He drew a sharp breath in- "TUBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" he yelled, and Toby jolted up, breathing heavily. 

"Oh my goodness Tommy- what was that for??" He cried, looking at his brother with wide eyes.

"Your wouldn't wake up so I had to." Tommy smirked.

     Tubbo sighed. "Sure." He mumbled, getting out of bed and walking over to the wardrobe. Tommy watched as he grabbed a green sweater and some overalls, with the front pouch having a little bee sown into it. Their mother had sewn that in before she got sick- before his father started drinking, before the incident, before- everything. Tommy shook the thought from his mind, not wanting to think of anything sad today. Today was going to be a good day, he could feel it.

-TUBBO POV-

   Tubbo went to the bathroom and got dressed, prepared for the day. Mrs. J said this was the day that someone was coming to see them, and he was extremely excited. Maybe he and Tommy could finally find a good place to stay, where none of their parents were alcoholics or on the brink of death.

   He opened the door and trotted down the stairs, slipping quietly into the lunchroom. Tommy, Purpled, and Ranboo were already at the table, chatting and eating breakfast, which seemed to consist of burnt waffles and eggs. Tubbo grabbed a plate and scooped some eggs onto his plate, not too interested in the burnt waffles before him. He sat down in between Tommy and Ranboo, tuning out their conversation about time travel and wondering about the people he would see later today.

Would they be nice?

Would they be mean?

Would they treat Tommy well?

Would they treat  him well?

Would they hurt Tommy?

Would they hurt  him?

Would they talk about time travel non-stop?

Tubbo sighed. He pondered a bit more before Tommy punched him in the shoulder and yelled;

"TUBBO! Whatcha thinking about?" He asked, snickering. Tubbo sighed again and replied "Just the people coming to see us today. And why you guys are so interested in time travel for some reason..?"

Tommy laughed and ate the last of his waffle. "I'm not sure big man. Guess we'll have to find out."
