Chapter 16

*tw: mention of abuse

phil pov:

i hesitantly made my way to room 103, where ranboo's half-dead self laid. i was scared of what i would be greeted with. whether ranboo was going to be conscious or not. the fact that i was here alone made it worse. i wished that techno, tubbo and tommy could get here faster but i know that they are probably trying to battle through traffic as well as battle through their thoughts right now.

i turned the handle of ranboo's room and slowly opened the door, poking my head in the room before fully stepping in. the tall boy lay almost lifeless, tubes connected to him and bandages almost covering his whole head. the noises of beeping machines filled the room. but that wasn't the only noise.

'phil?' it was ranboo. he was awake.

'ranboo!' i rushed to his side and took his hand in mine as a sign of comfort.

'what happened phil?'

'oh mate. i don't even know what happened. me and tubbo, tommy, techno all found you unconscious on your kitchen floor.'

'tubbo? tommy? techno? where are they?'

'they're coming. i came in the ambulance with you so they're a little behind.'

he nodded silently before shutting his eyes again.

'ranboo,' i spoke again, softly as to not startle him, 'do you remember what happened?'

ranboo pov:

do i remember what happened? i couldn't get it out of my mind.

'yeah, a bit.' i under-exaggerated.

'do you mind explaining to me? i need to know what im dealing with so i know the best way to go about this.' phil said clearly to me, trying not to show any sadness or emotion but i could tell he was heartbroken.

all i see when i shut my eyes is my own mother trying to break through the bathroom door with a knife. i see her chasing me through the house, screaming my deadname at me as if she's trying to haunt me. i still see her stabbing me repeatedly as i tried my best to get away.

i focus again on phil who is in the middle of a sentence.

'phil?'

he stops what he's saying and answers me, 'yeah mate'

'can i come live with you? or tommy? just anyone really? i cant stay there.' my voice broke on the last sentence and i broke with it, bursting into tears.

of course, at that moment, tommy burst through the door with tubbo and techno not far behind him. tommy rushed to my side and brought me into a hug. i hugged back.

THIS IS ALL PLATONIC BTW DICKHEADS :)

'hey ranboob.' he said in a soft tone, still holding me

'hi tommy.' i replied, laughing a little through my tears.

'it's all gonna be okay. you're gonna come back and live with me. i'm sure my parents won't mind. i'm sorry.'

'sorry?' i say, shocked, and i pull away from the hug, 'what are you sorry for?'

'it's my fault this has happened; if i didn't invite you to the uk, she wouldn't have been pissed off.'

'oh tommy, she was already pissed off before she knew i was coming to the uk.'

his face lit up, 'so it's not my fault?'

'no! of course not! why would you think that?'

'that's a story for another time, i think.' techno interrupted and he walked over to me, giving me a short hug.

'hello main character. man, even your real  life is like main character energy.' he softly laughed, trying to make the situation a little more light hearted.

i laughed with him, nodding my head, before turning to tubbo who was still lurking by the door 🧍🏻‍♂️

we made eye contact and he exclaimed 'boo!' before pushing techno out of the way so he could sit at the end of my bed, crossing his legs.

'bo!' i laughed.

'so this is the famous beeduo meet-up everyone's waiting for?' he smiled at me, also making the situation more light hearted and taking my mind off my mother.

i nodded, laughing, my laugh fading as a nurse came in and asked to speak with phil, who had told the hospital that i was his nephew just for legal purposes, he also explained about my mum although did say how he had no idea about the abuse i was enduring at home.

they came back after around 5 minutes and the nurse started explaining to me what they had discussed, after sending the others out of the room.

'phil and i have discussed what we are to do about your mother, who has apparently disappeared off the surface of the earth. it's thought likely that she has run away so she won't get into any trouble, but it shouldn't take the police long to find her. when they've found her, she will be tried and most likely sentenced to jail because of the abuse and attempted murder to you. we have also been discussing adoption for you. it seems the most likely people to adopt you will either be phil or tommy's parents who we have been on the phone to. they seem keen to take you in after hearing your condition and situation. although, of course, i will allow you to make your own decision, i do suggest picking tommy's parents as they have had experience parenting.'

'thank you. can i talk to the others about this, please?'

she nodded and went out. almost instantly, tubbo, tommy, techno and phil all came back in the room and i started to explain what she just told me.

tubbo piped up first, 'what if we all just buy a house and live together? so you don't have to choose?'

everyone seemed to agree with what he said.

so it was settled.

i was moving to the uk with my best friends.

i was escaping my living hell.

finally.
