~Tommy's POV~

I had been walking for hours. I think. I might have been wrong.

I couldn't feel anything except a pulsating searing that ran up and down my back. Everything hurt..

I wanted to keep going, no i had to keep pushing.. but my legs felt as if they were ready to give out.. When I first started running i felt fine since i had adrenaline coursing through my veins. But now.. I was just left with a deep throbbing pain from every step I took.

Despite my desperate efforts, my knees buckled. "GAH!" I quickly put my hands out to stop my face from colliding with the netherack. "I.. I just want to go home!!" I screamed out, leaving a sharp stabbing pain in my chest.

Tears quickly ran down my face as I lay down slowly. My body was exhausted. I wanted to go on... But i couldn't. I'm sorry Will.. I'm sorry Dad.. God, I'm sorry Techno.. I couldn't make it home for you guys..

Suddenly I felt a soft buzz against my leg. It was just my communicator.. Wait! My Communicator!

I looked around and saw a nether portal in the distance. I was so close! I couldn't give up. All I had to do was get myself somewhere someone would be able to easily find me. I grabbed the ground and dragged myself towards the purple particles. I just needed to.. be a little closer. 

The closer I got to it, the more clearer the SMP became. I rested my hand on the obsidian as everything began to slowly spin.. This was the closest i was going to get.. For Prime's sake i was so weak I couldn't even drag myself out the Nether.. I propped myself up against the portal frame and fumbled, pulling out the keyboard on my communicator.

"F-Fuck.." I muttered as I noticed a wide crack stretching over my co-ordinates and my health bar.. I tried to inspect my wrists but my hand and arms were covered in injuries that annoyingly covered my original health bar. Guess I'd have to use my pain as a gauge of how close to death I was..

I tapped dad's and techno's usernames and quickly thought about how I was going to word this.. My vision began to become blurry, I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to be conscious. I began messaging with shaky hands as I hoped dad was reading as I typed.

I'm sorry. I know I've been a pain but I need you and Techy to pick me up.. My communicators smashed so I can't see my co-ordinates.. I'm sorry. I'm in the nether i think. Near the main SMP portal? Please pick me up. I want to go ho 

I couldn't type any more. The sharp pain that ran up and down my arm every time my fingers moved was.. i couldn't explain it. I allowed myself to go limp against the coolness of the portal.. It felt soothing. Maybe.. I could sleep a little bit? Just for a minute or two.. I could only pray that they saw my message but.. Would they even want to see me?

...

 At this point I was sure the void was the only thing that wanted me and.. I was so close to being ready to embrace it. Every movement sent another shiver of pain racing through my nerves. I couldn't deal with it..

I knew the trip from Techno's place to the portal took around twenty minutes.. The trip from L'manburg to the portal however.. only took five minutes.

If Dad had seen my message, I only had to wait five minutes.

"O-Only five minutes..." I mumbled trying to reassure myself. My vision began to blur again and my eyelids tried to close..

My mind was racing. I didn't know what to do.. My body was shutting down but I didn't want to go yet! I swiftly thought of a way to bring myself back to reality.. Think Toms THINK!
