4. Everything will be Okay

11:58 P.M

[[Toby POV]]

     "Uno." "Oh, fuck off,!" Tommy yelled. I laughed, "I guess I'm just the best." Tommy looked at his cards intently, he flicked his lighter on and off. Tommy placed down a blue card, I smirked. I slowly placed down my last card, Tommy stared at the deck. "COME ON MAN, WHY!?" I burst out laughing, I love seeing Tommy throw a fit when someone else wins. He threw his cards down and paced the apartment.

     "I WAS SO CLOSE TO WINNING, WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME, PAL?" "You had 10 cards left! That's nowhere CLOSE to winning!" Tommy flopped down onto the couch; forgetting that Rylan was sleeping there. I sharply gasped, please don't wake up. Thankful, Rylan didn't flinch.

Tommy got close to him and started tapping his face, "Yep, their still asleep." "Well, that's good." Tommy nodded, he then laid down next to Rylan. I joined him, resting on the other side. Due to Rylan being the tallest, he held the most body warmth, and it's always cold in our apartment to try to keep the rent low. I don't know about Tommy, but after a few minutes, I started to doze off.

A/N before I continue, please don't think I'm shipping them together. I just wanted to show how close their friendship is!

3:16 A.M

[[Rylan's POV]]

I felt two figures beside me, I let my eyes adjust to the light; that was left on, and I realized that it was just Tommy and Toby. I reached to turn off the lamp, I then held the two close to me so they wouldn't fall off the sofa. I rubbed both of their backs, letting them know that everything was going to be okay, even though the two were asleep and showed no signs of being panicked.

     We all came from broken households; have some sort of trauma or guilt that sticks with us. We tell each other everything, or at least everything we're willing to share. I love them, they are my family. I closed my eyes slowly, sleep called for me.

6:25 A.M

     I awoke again, Toby and Tommy still in my arms. I looked at the time, I had my interview today. I slowly and carefully removed them from my grasp. I sat up and got off the couch. I grabbed a nearby blanket and placed it on top of the two of them.

     I walked over to the pile of clothing in the middle of the room, I dug through it to find a nicer-looking shirt. I found a floral button-up, I put that on over a plain white T. I scrambled to find my shoes, I have got to start writing down this stuff. I finally found my shoes,

6:54 A.M,

I grabbed a bottle of pills and took a few out, popping them into my mouth. I took a deep breath and I walked out of the apartment. I locked the door behind me and pulled out my phone, I shot a quick text to Tom and Toby to let them know where I was going when they woke up. I plugged my earbuds into my phone and turned on some music.

[[Tommy's POV]]

     I squirmed awake, feeling someone breathing on my cheek. I looked over to see Toby, their chin was placed on my shoulder. I flicked his nose, he jumped awake, "Bloody hell, Tommy!?" I cackled, "You should have seen the look on your face, Toby!" He playfully punched my arm, "Not very funny to me, Tom." "Oh come on, it was funny," I said sounding very full of myself.

     He smirked and looked away, he grabbed his phone. "Rylan said he went to a job interview and that he wouldn't know when he'd be back." "Oh alright, I wonder why he didn't tell us beforehand." Toby shrugged. I rolled off the couch and grabbed my cigarettes and lighter. I lit up a cigarette and breathed it in, slowly exhaling the smoke.

I just want to thank you all for the support! I didn't think that the story would get this many reads so fast! The next update be through Saturday-Monday! Have a lovely day, darlings!
