You Broke Your Promise (SBI) (2/2)

Wilbur POV

I groaned, pulling at my curly hair. "I don't understand why you're making such a big deal about this!"

"You're seventeen Wilbur! You're not even a legal adult!" Phil sighed, equally mirroring my frustration. 

I groaned, glancing towards Techno for support. He simply shrugged as if to say, 'it's your problem, not mine'. I knew he was right, but I still wished he would support me.

"It's a good opportunity Dad. I would be a fool not to take it." I pointed out. I wasn't lying, it really was great opportunity, but that wasn't really the reason why I wanted to go. If I was being completely honest, I wanted to leave. I wanted to explore the world and play my music for people.

"What about us Wilbur? You're going to miss everything! Techno graduating, Tommy's plays! It's not worth it!" Phil shouted, pulling at his hair in frustration.

I bit my lip, feeling the guilt drip into my stomach. I shook it off, determined to get my way. Shouldn't I take every opportunity I can? "You make it sound like I'm never going to come home!" I rolled my eyes at the thought. Of course I was going to come home.

"What if you don't?" he asked, his tone sharp and hurt. "What if you get so caught up in your own success that you completely forget about your family?" 

I glanced at him, processing his words. Did he really think I could do that? Just walk away from the people I love most? "Do you really think I could do that? You really think I could just live without you all?!" I shouted. Tears threatened to fall, but I was quick to wipe them away. "Do you not trust me at all?"

"I-I didn't say that." Phil began to back off.

"But you did." I whispered, looking down. How could he think that? "And I can promise you that I could never just walk away from this family." Finally tears took over, quickly blurring my vision. Before I knew it I felt arms come around me.

I hugged back, desperately wanting the comfort. I knew it was Techno just from his smell, it was something that I had always known, ever since I can remember.

"It's okay." he murmured. And that's all he needed to say. In those words I felt more comfort than anyone could have thought possible.

Phil began rubbing my back, apologizing, "I'm just worried son. That's all."

I looked up at him with teary eyes. "You don't need to worry. I'll come back. Besides, who's going to look after Tommy?"

That's when it struck me. Tommy. Tommy couldn't handle yelling... usually he would go into a full panic attack. I jumped up, pulling away from Techno. I didn't miss the confusion in his eyes, but I didn't have time to explain.

"What is it Wil?" Techno followed, freaked out by how panicked I looked.

I rushed to Tommy's door, impatiently knocking on the door. At the sound of short breaths and sobbing I barged in, terrified by what I would see. My eyes widened at the sight before me.

Tommy was sitting in his closet, sobbing as he clung to what appeared to be Techno's old hoodie. I immediately recognized my beanie, but I could worry about that later. All that mattered at the moment was Tommy. I could tell he was struggling to breathe as he ripped at his hair.

I wasted no time racing to his side. I approached quietly, speaking softly, "Toms, Toms I'm right here, okay? Wilby's here. Can I touch you?"

His eyes widened in fear and he was quick to shake his head. That meant he was thinking about his father, or the horrible man that used to call himself Tommy's father. Not wanting to scare him more, I knelt on the ground in front of him, making sure there was a clear space between us.

"I need you to breathe with me Tommy. You're safe I promise-" I began only to be cut off by his sobbing.

"Y-You broke your promise-e!" he sobbed out, making my heart shatter. I looked down, remembering the first thing I had ever promised him. I had promised to always be there for his panic attacks, but I hadn't been. I couldn't bare to think about how long this one had been going on for.

"I know." I shook my head, "And you don't have to forgive me. But you still need to breathe Toms, okay?"

His eyes were still wide with fear and I could clearly see him shaking. I wanted nothing more than to wrap him in a hug and tell him how sorry I was, but I knew that wasn't a good idea. If anything it would freak him out more.

He still wasn't able to catch his breath and I feared that he would pass out. Quickly I glanced at Techno, hoping he would have some clue of what to do. Phil wasn't in the room, since he knew that he would get more freaked out at the sight of him.

Slowly my eyes fell on his watch and an idea popped in my head. Sometimes Tommy needed something that was constant and steady. I could only pray it was one of those times. Techno seemed to understand as he handed the watch to me.

I slid it towards Tommy, whispering, "Listen to the watch, Toms. Match your breathing with that."

Shakily he picked up the watch, carefully brining it to his ear. Slowly, but surely, his breathing slowed down and his shaking calmed down. After a few minutes he looked back at me and I could clearly see the hurt that was written on his face. I wanted nothing more than to take it away. I didn't even want to think that I was the one who caused it.

Techno came beside me, also looking at Tommy. He shared the same expression I did, full of guilt.

"Toms?" he murmured, still keeping his distance.

Tommy looked up at us, tears running down his cheeks. "You both broke-e your pr-promises."

Before I knew it, tears had already begun spilling down my face. I reached my hand out, hoping Tommy would allow me to give him comfort, but again he pushed away.

"I'm so sorry Toms! I-I should have been here! I should have-" I began.

"We should never have fought Toms. We should have known how you would react." Techno said quietly, hanging his head down low.

"I'm so sorry Tommy." I cried.

We sat there for a long time, minutes or maybe even an hour. Gradually Tommy inched his way towards us, suddenly flinging his body at us.

We were quick to hug back, never wanting to let go. How could Tommy be so forgiving? We broke our promises. Yet here we are.

From that day on I vowed to never break that promise again and Techno did the same. 

We couldn't bear to see our little brother like that ever again.
