You Didn't Notice (Tommy angst) (2/2)

Tommy POV

It was strange. Suddenly they were asking where I had been, they were inviting me to movie nights. What had changed? I had no idea, but hey, I wasn't about to start complaining.

Part of me actually considered telling them, but I knew they wouldn't care. If they didn't care before, why would they care now?

The day came closer and closer and I got more and more nervous. Not only was this my first play, but I was the lead in it. If I messed up then I would hurt the entire play. What if I wasn't as good as I thought? What if they made a mistake? What if-

"Tommy? You alright?" I looked up and was met with Wilbur.

"What- oh, yeah. I'm alright." I quickly replied. I resumed to staring at the ground, not wanting to meet his eyes.

"I've been talking to you for like five minutes and all you've done is stare at the ground." Wilbur chuckled. He was surprised to hear nothing back. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." I mumbled, still not meeting his eyes. Not that you would care anyway.

"So... what are you doing tonight?"

Finally I looked up, sighing, "Nothing important." The play! My brain screamed, but I remained silent.

"Well the three of us are going out tonight, so you'll be home alone. I was wondering if you wanted me to invite Tubbo over so you'll have someone to hang out with?" He was playing at something. What was he playing at?

I shook my head, "He's busy tonight."

Wilbur nodded in understanding, "What about-"

"Thanks Wil, but I'll be fine." I cut him off, trying to prevent the sigh that wanted to pass through my lips.

"Alright, see you tonight then." Wilbur swiftly left the room, not even granting me the chance to respond. I shrugged it off, attempting to calm my climbing nerves.

The night arrived rather quickly, much quicker than I wanted. Yes, I wanted to perform, but I couldn't shake the dread that filled my veins.

Walking into the dressing room was both the best and worst experience of my life. I was going to perform in front of people! But what if- no. Stop. Focus on the good, I begged my brain. It never worked, but nothing could stop me from trying.

"I'm so excited Tommy!" Tubbo jumped up and down, excitement sweating off of him.

"I can tell." 

"What's wrong?" Tubbo stopped and looked at him, his eyes filled with concern. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Immediately he realized my answer. "They aren't coming, are they?"

I shook my head. "I didn't tell them."

"Why didn't you? You can't expect them to show up when they don't know!" he exclaimed.

I bit my lip, "They probably wouldn't have come anyway."

"You don't know that. You're just trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision." Tubbo folded his arms. He met my eyes. "You know, it's not too late-"

"It's fine Tubbo, really. I don't mind. Besides they had plans tonight anyway."

Tubbo walked towards me, wrapping his arms around me. I stiffened for a moment before hugging back. It had been so long since I had felt that wonderful feeling of comfort. If I cried a little, neither of us would never admit it.

"We're on in five!" Dream shouted.

Five minutes was both too long and too short. Before I knew it I was standing on side stage, ready to perform. I forced myself to focus. I was no longer Tommy. I didn't matter in that moment. My family not being here didn't matter. My nerves didn't exist. It was just me in my role.

And with that I stepped onto the stage.
