A New Family | Tommy Angst | Adoption

Day 10 of School

Tommy woke up (obviously lol). He looked at his phone, a text from Dream and someone else. He had been added to a group chat with Dream, Sapnap, Skeppy and Bad. Dreams text read "Meet me in the boys bathrooms, if you tell anyone, Tubbo's gonna get hurt along with the rest of your pathetic friends" Tommy was shocked and scared. He didn't write anything back and he didn't show Techno. He started to think about what they would do to not just him but his friends if he didn't go.

He didn't realise a tear rolling down his cheek until the door slowly opened. He quickly hid his face in the covers and stayed silent. "Wake up Tommy" He heard Wilbur say whilst he exited the room. Tommy got up and followed him, trying not to think about it.

Once they arrived and went through the gates, he didn't see his friends. *This gives me some time* he thought before going inside and to the bathrooms. "I see you have come alone" he heard Dream say as he entered the room. "Yup, what do you want" Tommy said back. "I just wanna talk, you know" Dream said whilst slowly moving closer to Tommy. He gulped, very scared as his hands started to shake and his breathing got heavier.

Dream then ran towards Tommy with a blade in his right hand whilst he grabbed Tommy with his left. "GET OFF M-" Tommy got interrupted by being pushed to the ground and a hand stopping him from talking. "SHUT UP YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING" Dream yelled kinda loudly. Tommy couldn't move, he couldn't talk, he couldn't do anything. Dream then pulled up the boys sleeves and began to cut, blood soon poured from his arms. He was unable to scream, he was unable to do anything, he just had to sit there and take it.

Dream soon left laughing.

Once Tubbo and the rest arrived to school, they couldn't see Tommy and thought he would be with Techno so they didn't think anything of it. Soon after, the bell rang and they went to class. Tubbo noticed that Tommy wasn't there and started to get worried as he thought of what could of happened. He snuck his phone under the table and texted Techno. "Did Tommy come in today" Tubbo texted. He soon received one back "Yes, why?" the text read. "He's not in class" Tubbo texted back.

He then asked if he could go to the bathroom, luckily the teacher alowed him. As soon as he got out of the classroom he ran to the bathroom. Tommy was on the ground, starring at the wall with his mouth open, as if he was screaming but no noise was being made. Tubbo quickly ran over to him, got a bunch of tissue and cleaned his arms whilst calming him down. "Tommy! Look at me ok, your safe now ok, nothing can hurt you, want me to go and get Techno" Tubbo asked whilst wetting tissues and cleaning the cuts as he hugged Tommy every now and then.

Tommy nodded, now quietly crying with noise. Tubbo quickly got up and ran to Technos class. [knock knock knock] Tubbo knocked on the classrooms door before opening it. "Please can I borrow Technoblade for a moment, it's an emergency" Tubbo kinda yelled, he was panicking. Techno ran out the classroom, not giving the teacher any time to talk and followed Tubbo. They both ran into the bathroom. Techno picked the curled up Tommy and put him in his lap whilst wrapping him up with his cloak he had in his bag. Tubbo was still cleaning his arms until the blood stopped flowing.

"It's ok now, your ok brother, your safe, nothing can hurt now" Techno said calmly to Tommy who was still shaking and hyperventilating but was calming down a bit. Tubbo cupped Tommys face in his hands and smiled at him whilst whispering "it's going to be ok, Technos here, look!" He said, pointing up at Techno who was looking down at Tommy. Tommy started to calm down more, he started to get control over his breathing.

"It's ok" Techno hugged Tommy close as the bell went, meaning it was lunch time. "Do you wanna go h-". "No! I need to be t-there for m-my friends" Tommy cut Techno off. "But Tommy, you need rest, we'll be fine" Tubbo argued. "I d-don't care, I need t-to be there f-for you guys" Tommy argued back as he got out of Technos comfort and beginning to walk out of the door. "Wait Tommy, pull your sleeves down, the last thing we need is rumours" Techno yelled out to him whilst getting up and running to him, he then pulled his sleeves down for him.

"I'll be f-fine" Tommy said, on the verge of tears. Tubbo grabbed Tommy's hand, he then squeezed it, making Tommy turn to him. Tubbo had a very worried look on his face which said everything. "Trust me, I'll be ok" Tommy said as he smiled and walked to the cafeteria with Techno and Tubbo. He saw Ranboo sitting with George on their table except Skeppy and Bad were there. Tommy got mad and stormed over to them.

"If you don't get out of here right now you 2 are getting punched" Tommy said, pointing at both Skeppy and Bad who just laughed at him but stopped after they saw Techno behind him, giving them the death stare. "You heard him" Techno said sternly. Skeppy and Bad got up and ran away.

Wilbur soon came up to them but he had a sort of look on his face that wasn't good. Techno looked at Will in his eyes, he saw hurt and fear. Techno didn't question him, he instead just hugged him and sat him down at the table. "What happened" Techno asked quietly. "N-note to self, s-stay away from Dream" Wilbur said, starting to shake and his breathing was heavy. "It's ok now, stay away from all of them, and if you ever need me, text me ok" Techno said, rubbing Wilbur's back, he nodded.

Tommy was still shaking and his breathing was heavy. "What happened to you guys? Also thanks for that" George said. "Dream happened" Tubbo answered. "Yup" Techno pointed at Will. Tommy looked over at the silently crying Ranboo. "Ranboo can I talk to you for a minute, maybe outside" Tommy said as he pulled Ranboo outside. "We'll be right back" He yelled to them before disappearing outside. "What were they saying" Tommy asked Ranboo who's breathing started to pick up. "T-they said about h-how they're g-going to find me a-and do bad t-things" Ranboo explained, breaking down.

Tommy held Ranboos hand and took him to the other side of the school and hugged him. "It's ok, trust me they're not going to do anything, remember you can always come 'round to my house whenever you need, even if it's 3 in the morning, that wouldn't matter" Tommy said calmly whilst rubbing Ranboos back as he cried into Tommy shoulder. "Everything's going to be ok eventually" Tommy said calmly until the bell went. He held Ranboos hand whilst rubbing small circles on it with his thumb.

At the end of the day, everyone was a lot better than before, they seemed more at peace. The 'Dream Team' didn't come up to them this time and instead just went home. They all said bye to each other and went home. "How was school" Phil asked as they got in the car. "If I'm being honest, bloody horrible" Tommy said, slightly raising his voice. "How so?" Phil asked once again. "Well Dream happened so you can probably guess" Tommy said, lying back down in his seat.

As soon as they got home, Phil asked if he could talk to Tommy. He brought him into the kitchen and asked if he could roll up his sleeves. Tommy didn't like this, he felt like it was his fault, his fault that all of this had happened. He rolled up his sleeves and held his arms out as tears started to form in his eyes. "Tommy I'm so sorry" Phil also started to get tears in his eyes, he hated bullying with a passion. He pulled Tommy into a hug as they both cried silently. He hated crying in front of his kids, he thought it was week, he needed to stay strong for them.

Phil cupped Tommy's face in his hands, wiping away the tears. Tommy broke down, he couldn't hold the tears in anymore, it was hard. "I- I'm sorry f-for being like t-this" Tommy apologised. "You don't need to apologise for anything Tommy, none of this is your fault" Phil said back, pulling him into another hug.

They soon heard 2 pairs of footsteps running down the stairs. Soon Techno and Wilbur's faces popped around the corner, both looking worried. They looked at the crying son and father and hugged them both. Techno covered them all in his cloak for comfort. "Sorry" Phil apologised, wiping his tears. "Why are you apologising, crying is a normal thing" Will said, rubbing his fathers back. "I know but I need to stay strong for you guys and I'm failing that right now" Phil said, trying to keep the tears in.

"Don't be silly, it's not illegal to cry if your old" Tommy joked, lifting the mood a bit. They all decided to watch a movie to cheer them all up. They got all the sweets, popcorn and drinks out and put on a movie.
