Why? [TommyInnit Angst]

Chapter 10: Confrontation

I woke up in a cold sweat. Luckily I didn't have a nightmare this time. 

I checked the time on my phone. It was 11:45, I had only been asleep for 10 minutes. 

I sighed as this morning's events played back in my head. My arm hurt a lot. 

I pushed myself out of bed and made my way downstairs. My plan was to find someone, most likely Wilbur, and ask for some pain killers. I would use a headache as an excuse if I needed one. 

I walked into the kitchen to see George sitting at the table on his phone. 

"Hey George, do you have any pain killers?" I asked. 

He jumped and looked up. "Oh umm. Yeah." He said getting up. 

"Here" He opened a bottle and gave me two of the pills, before putting it back. 

"Thanks." I said as I started to walk back to my room. 

"Hey Tommy." He said, making me turn back around. 

"Can we talk for a second?" He looked concerned. 

"Yeah sure." I said,  sitting down across from him. 

"Look, I just wanted to apologize for making you uncomfortable this morning. I didn't mean to trigger you. But that being said I do need to ask what exactly did trigger you. I don't want to make any wrong assumptions." He said as he nervously played with the strings on his swim trunks. 

"George, you didn't trigger me, I just had to shit." I lied. 

He didn't look convinced. "Look, Tommy. I want to believe you and I won't push you anymore but if I ever make you uncomfortable tell me." He said. 

"Okay." I whispered. I started to tear up. I'm not sure why but I couldn't help it. 

"Oh that reminds me Dream is picking up Mcdonalds for lunch on his way back from the airport and wanted me to ask you for your order." He perked up.

I started to panic. I already had a smoothie today, I really didn't need Mcdonalds on top of that. 

"I- uuh." I started to panic. If I ordered food I would definitely eat it and feel guilty. But if I didn't everyone would worry and George was already on to me. 

"How about a small thing of chips or fries since we are in America now." George suggested laughing.

"Yeah ok." I reluctantly agreed. 

After around 20 minutes of us just sitting there in comfortable silence on our phones, Dream Purpled and Ranboo arrived with the food. 

George went outside to get Wilbur and Sapnap, who were still dunking each other in the pool while I went upstairs to get Karl and Tubbo. 

I slowly opened the door and peaked my head in. Tubbo was lying in George's bed on his phone and Karl was sitting on the floor reading a book.

"Hey guys, lunch is downstairs." I said timidly. 

"Thanks Tommy!" Karl exclaimed as he started to get up. Tubbo didn't move. 

"Come on Tubbo, let's go eat." Karl said as he lightly shaked the boy. 

"Okay fine." Tubbo groaned, reluctantly sliding out of the bed. 

It felt like I was intruding so I quickly left the room and ran down to the kitchen. 

"Hi Tommy!" Purpled called out as he dumped his luggage in the entryway. 

"Hi Purpled!" I greeted him, trying to match his energy. It was nice to have someone care enough to say hello and Purpled never failed to reminded me of that.
