A New Family | Tommy Angst | Adoption

Day 2 of School

"Tommy wake up" Phil said from the door way. "Time for school". Tommy got up this time and ate breakfast. He got ready and got in the car with Wilbur in the back. "Hey Tommy, try not to stress ok, just breathe and tell your teacher" Will said quietly to Tommy. Tommy nodded. Once they arrived they went to their classes. He saw Tubbo in the hallway. He got nervous but went up to him anyway. "Hey, t-thanks for taking care of me yesterday, I get like that sometimes".

"Oh hey! Don't worry about it! Wanna be friends?". "Sure". My first friend* Tommy thought happily. They exchanged numbers and went to class. They sat down next to the door in case anything happens.

[DING] "Class is over" the teacher said. *I made it! Now for the second one before lunch*. They made it to the next class, they sat next to each other like last time. [DING]. *2nd class gone let's go!* Tommy thought. He followed Tubbo outside where everyone was. Since the school was very big, it had enough room for all the years to finish class at the same time.

Tommy was getting his food until. "Oh look who we have here, Mr. TommyInnit himself" Tommy turned around to see Dream, George and Sapnap, his orphanage bullies. *Oh no no no, not good* "H-hey" Tommy said back, Tubbo was sitting at the table, waiting for him. "So we're going back to the olden days now are we" Dream snickered. Tommy gulped. "Come on, pay up" Sapnap added. "Guys can we just leave him alone for now" George spoke up, George was the only nice one.

"No!" Sapnap yelled. "I just thought of something, come with us" Dream said, grabbing Tommy's wrist. Tubbo didn't notice, he was to busy day dreaming. They dragged Tommy inside to the boys bathrooms and threw him on the floor. "Now if you want us to stop taking your money, I have a better idea" Dream laughed, telling the other 2. Sapnap agreed whilst on the other hand George denied. "I really don't like that idea" George said. They didn't listen.

Dream then took Tommy's wrist and cut it with a sharp knife. "There" Dream laughed. Sapnap was laughing along with him whilst Tommy just sat there crying. The 2 boys then left, leaving George with Tommy. "I'm so sorry Tommy, I hate what they do but I fear they will start bullying me to" George wrapped Tommy's wrist in bandages and gave him a hug. "Want me to get Tech-". "No! He can't find out, if he does he might hurt you to" Tommy yelled. Tommy cared about George because he was the only one who help him in the orphanage.

George gave Tommy a hug and settled him down. He rolled Tommy's blazer sleeve back down. He then snuck Tommy back into the cafeteria. "Good luck Tommy" George said before going to find the 2 boys. Tommy then ran over to Tubbo and gave him a hug. "Oh hey Tommy! Where were you?" Tubbo questioned, sitting Tommy next to him. "Oh I was in the line but got tired of waiting" Tommy explained. "But you need to eat" Tubbo said, giving Tommy one of his sandwiches.

"It's ok you can have it, I'm not that hungry anyway" Tommy said, looking away from Tubbo. Tubbo shrugged and ate his food. Tommy then saw Techno and Wilbur coming towards him. Tubbo hid behind Tommy, scared of Techno. "Hey Tommy, I assume this is Tubbo" Tommy nodded. "Hi Tubbo, nice to meet you, I'm Wilbur" Wilbur said, holding his hand out. Tubbo couldnt take his eyes off Techno. Tommy moved out the way and Tubbo froze. He shook Wilbur's hand. "Hi" Tubbo said, giving a nervous smile.

"Hello Tubbo, since you helped Tommy yesterday and you are his first friends I trust you to not hurt him, until then I will try and protect you" Techno said, smiling at Tubbo. Tubbo's face lit up. "Thank you!" Tubbo said excitedly. Techno then saw Tommy's lunch money sticking out of his pocket. He went up to Tommy, "we'll talk after school" Techno whispered in Tommy's ear. Tommy was confused until he realised the money was sticking out of his pocket. At least he didn't see the bandage.

[DING] "Bye Tommy and Tubbo" Wilbur yelled from the other side of the cafeteria. They both waved at him. Techno waved at them then left to his and Wills next class. The 2 boys packed up and also left to their next class. There were 2 classes left until the end of the day.

TIME SKIP

"Tubbo maybe you can come round to my house sometime" Tommy said. "Sure! Oh my dads here, see ya!" Tubbo said, waving as he left. Phil wasn't here yet since they were let out kinda early. "Hey Tommy, George isn't here to save you now" Tommy heard Dream say from behind him. Dream then grabbed Tommy and brought him to the side of the building where no one could see. "Now what shall we do" Sapnap said, cracking his knuckles. "Let's not do anything like that yet" Dream said. "Maybe another cut will do the trick". "No please n-".

"SHUT UP" Dream yelled, not loud enough for anyone to hear. Dream walked over to Tommy and kicked his stomach. "Hey let me do this one, you promised" Sapnap said. Dream handed the knife to Sapnap. He rolled up Tommy's sleeve, ripped the bandage off and cut deep. "Good job!" Dream congratulated him. They walked away laughing. Tommy looked up to see Phils car pulling up. He quickly wrapped the bloody bandage back around his wrist and rolled down his sleeve. He then ran to the car with his bag, not noticing the blood run down his arm and the tear that was slowly running down his face.

"Hey Tommy, did you have a good day?" Phil asked, looking out for Techno and Wilbur. "It was ok" Tommy said quietly, not wanting Phil to hear the pain in his voice as he wiped the tear away. The cut hurt a lot. Another tear rolled down his face as more blood poured out. He found some wet wipes in the pocket of the chair and cleaned up the blood without Phil noticing. He then stuffed them in his backpack. He didn't move the bandage, instead he put a wet wipe over the bandage. *Please stop* Tommy hoped.

He then heard the car door open and shoved his wrist next to the car door below his leg so the 2 brothers couldn't see. Wilbur went in the front whilst Techno sat on the opposite side of the car near the window. Phil then started to drive home. "So boys, how was your day" Phil asked. "Well I mean, same as everyday really, nothing exciting happened" Techno said. "Except we did meet Tubbo today, he seemed scared at first but cheered up" Wilbur said. Phil laughed, he knew about Techno being the 'big guy' in the school.

Tommy was very quiet, another tear rolling down his cheek. He was facing the window so no one saw. When they got home, Tommy ran to the bathroom and locked the door whilst holding his wrist, he started to clean the blood, he then wrapped his wrist with tissues. [knock knock knock] He jumped. "Y-yeah" Tommy's voice cracked a bit. "It's Techno, can I talk to you for a second". "Ok one second". Tommy started to panic. He got a lot of tissue and put it on the cut, it started to stop but a bit of blood was still pouring out.

He rolled down his sleeve and held his wrist so the tissue wouldn't fall. He opened the door and saw his bedroom door open with Techno inside, sitting on the bed. He went in, closed the door and sat next to him. "So I noticed that you didn't get any lunch, why is that" Techno asked, facing Tommy. "The line was to long and I got tired so I sat back down" Tommy said, looking at his wrist in case any blood had seeped through, luckily none did. "Is that the truth" Techno said with a stern tone. "Y-yes" Tommy said again, looking down at the floor this time.

"Ok but just know im keeping my eye out for you tomorrow" Techno said, walking out the door and closing it. Tommy started crying, it still hurt a lot, he rolled up his sleeve and saw bloody tissues, he still had the bandage on. He knew he had to get a new one so he snuck downstairs and into the kitchen, luckily no one was there. He started searching for the bandages. He finally found one and ran upstairs quietly to his bedroom. He listened out for any footsteps before he begin unwrapping the old bandage and putting on a new one.

It felt a lot better. He put all the bloody tissues and bandage in the bin next to his bed, tears were still pouring down his face. What was he gonna do?

Once dinner was ready, Tommy went downstairs whilst wiping off his tears. He took a seat at the table and hid his hands under it. His eyes were a bit puffy and his nose was red. "Hey Tommy, you alright?" Phil asked, looking up from his food. "Oh yeah I'm fine". After that he ran upstairs to his bedroom and cried himself to sleep. *What am I gonna do*.
