Tommy belonged to a really rich family, he had the best grades in his college... I mean he was the valedictorian of his college. He was in the fourth year of one of the best business management colleges. He was promoted to the last or fourth year of his college because he excelled in both the year's exams, so he was promoted really early on. His parents were really successful business men. Both were the CEO's of a really big company. They were rarely home, since they were usually out for business. He lived in a huge mansion, which had a private golf course, swimming pool, badminton court, and a lot of other things. He was always alone, the servants just came in did their work and went out. Of course his friends weren't aware of this. He was usually under a lot of stress since his parents usually sent him to take some meetings from some of their clients when they couldn't. He did it of course, he would never disobey his parents. His schedule was usually packed, with just a bit of time to sleep and eat.

Narrator POV

Tommy was working overnight again, he was reading books in his library which was in his mansion. What's the time? Oh shit it's 7:30 I need to do set up my streaming set up, my essay... My essay, oh that's right I kept it in my room. Thought Tommy to himself. *Ring* *Ring* “Who on Earth is calling me at this hour?” Tommy said while reaching out for his phone, which was kept on the table near him. Wilbur? Why's he calling me right now? Is there something wrong? “Hello Wilbur, is there something wrong? Why'd you call me at 7:30 in the morning?” he asked wil. “Oh, well I just woke up and wanted to tell you that we are going to have a talk you know, with all of the dream smp members. Also we are not going to stream it, it's just a virtual get together.” he said sounding quite happy. “Ok, when is it?” Tommy asked. “Oh, it's at nine, but you can join till ten. Since you're always so late.” said Wilbur mocking the younger. “Oh, well see you then.” Tommy said just before cutting the call. This particular action took Wilbur a bit of guard, but he just brushed it off. Tommy placed down his book and got up, he grabbed his phone and headed towards his walk in closet. He wore something casual, a red and white t-shirt paired with jeans. He headed towards his room and cleared up the six books which were kept on his table. After all those things he debated whether he should eat or not. He decided to eat a banana with a glass of milk. After he did so he realised it was already 8:30, he headed up the stairs from his kitchen. He opened up his computer and placed in his password. He opened up discord, he realised that no-one would be there in the VC right now so he decided to listen to songs. Just before he decided to do this he set up an alarm for 8:55, since he knew that he would lose track of time while listening to songs. Before he knew it it was 8:55 and the the alarm rang. He dismissed the alarm, closed Spotify and went back to discord. He soon joined the call, there were most of the people there. The only ones who weren't there were Foolish, Quackity, Ranboo and Charlie. When all of them joined they all started to talk and discuss what they have been doing. “So, Tommy what have you been doing lately?” asked Dream. “Oh you know the usual College, stream, study.” he said completely nonchalant. “Hey, are you ok mate?” asked Phil, he was one of the first to realise that Tommy wasn't acting like himself today. “Yeah, just been thinking about what to stream I guess.” he said trying to sound like his normal self again. Phil nodded and went back to chatting again. The only ones who hadn't turned on their cameras were Dream, Techno, Callahan and Tommy. Tommy didn't want to turn on his camera today, he was afraid that someone would point out his bandages or the bags under his eyes. *Ring* *Ring* the sound came from Tommy's side. “Uh, sorry guys I'll be back in a bit. I have an important call.” without even waiting for any answers he placed his headphones down on his table, but instead of clicking on the mute button he in a panic clicked on the camera. The others noticed it and tried to tell Tommy but that wasn't really possible now since he had already placed down his headphones. The only thing they could do now was to listen to the boy's conversation. “Good Morning.” he said in a bit of a serious tone which took everyone a bit by surprise since none of them had ever seen him this serious before. “Um, I can't really hear you properly. Do you mind if I put you on speaker.” he asked the person on the other end of the line. The other person must have said yes because he put the person on speaker. The other people on the call took it as a great thing, since they could hear the whole conversation now. “Tommy, just to inform you, me and your father would be coming back in the next 6 months.” the person who was presumably his mother said. “Wait does that mean that Tommy has been living alone for God knows how long?” asked Wilbur clearly concerned. “That's what you said just a year ago ma'am.” said Tommy clearly holding back his tears. “He's been living alone for one year?” asked Tubbo now holding back his tears. “Also why does he call his mother ma'am?” asked Techno. “You know I have work don't you? Also are you still doing you streaming or whatever it's called.” asked the mother. Tommy looked down for a second before speaking up “Yes ma'am.” he said. “How many times have I told you Thomas, it's just a waste of time.” she said. “But ma'am I like doing it, besides my grades are great and I'm earning from this job.” said Tommy. “Thomas Simons you need to focus on your studies more, being the valedictorian of your college doesn't mean anything to me. You need to take over our business and also have a degree.” she said sounding angry. “It's fine, just don't detoriate from your studies.” she said calming down a bit. “Yes ma'am.” said Tommy. “Also I need you to have a meeting with one of our clients, I'll send you their information. Also they would most likely come to your house for the meeting. Get the servants to make the meal, this is a big client and possibly a great investor in our business.” she said. “Ok ma'am, when is the meeting?” asked Tommy. “Its after a week, on Monday to be precise.” she said. “Yes ma'am.” said Tommy. “I'll take my leave now. Goodbye Thomas.” she said right before she presumably ended the call. “Did she send the details, um yea. Who am I supposed to-” he said right before the others saw his eyes widen with surprise presumably. “Is he ok?“ asked Quackity. “NO HE ISN'T HAVE YOU HEARD THE CONVERSATION?” screamed Wilbur in clear anger, no one had ever seen him scream like that before. “Also what happened to Tommy? He suddenly went quite.” asked Phil. “I dunno.” said Techno before anyone else could say something they heard coughing coming from Tommy's side. To their horror Tommy was coughing up blood. They saw him rush towards his bathroom which was attached to his room. They heard then more coughing coming from the bathroom before they heard Tommy say in a low and voice which almost sounded like a growl “Again? Seriously, this is getting annoying at this point.” “Again?! This has happened before?” said Dream, clearly now felling both anger and empathy. “Well guess if this hasn't stopped then why should I stop? It's not like anyone's here. No one's here, no one will come, they'll never come. I'll always be alone, always be a waste of space. That's all I am... I swear I kept it somewhere near here. Where is it?” said Tommy now still in the bathroom. His statement had most of the people in shock, whirl the others were just thinking of what he could've possibly meant by the statement. At this point he came back in the room, somehow he still hadn't noticed his discord screen. The only real reason why he didn't notice his screen was because he was tabed out and had chrome on his screen instead of discord, so he couldn't really see his discord screen. He rummaged through one of the many cabinets in his room, he pulled out a shining object out of the cabinet. “That isn't what I think it is, is it?” asked Wilbur mortified by the idea in his head. “Wait...” Phil said, he now couldn't really move. “Wait, what is that?” asked Karl, clearly not prepared for the answer he was about to get. “Is... Is that a razor?” said Dream, “He's not doing what I think he is right?” said Techno. Before anyone could really say anything they all say Tommy placing the razor on his table to take off his bandages, which revealed the many scars on his hands. The others were just there in shock. He picked up the razor and started to cut himself, opening some of the scars that he already had deepening them. There was a lot of blood covering his hands now, he placed the razor down and headed towards the bathroom to clean up his hands. He came out of there shortly, his hands were still bleeding but he didn't seem to care. He grabbed a roll of bandages from one of his cabinet and started to bandage his arms. The others could just stare in shock, they were mortified. “What...what the hell?” Techno managed to speak out. Tommy just stared at his arms for a few moments before he looked at his mobile phone which was buzzing with a notification. “The information of the client? A girl? Just great, who is the girl? Vanessa Blackwood? Vanessa Blackwood... My ex best friend? Really mother? OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE SHE CHOSE HER TO MEET WITH ME?” said Tommy aggravated by his mother's doing. “What does he mean by ex best friend?” asked Tubbo, he had tears rolling down his face, most of them did. “As if this day could get any worse.” he said while looking at his computer. “Well guess I need to go and talk to them.” said Tommy heading towards his computer. “Everyone act normal.” said Wilbur wiping his tears. “Oh shit I left my mic and camera on, hey guys!” said Tommy back to his normal self. “Hey big man.” said Tubbo. “Did you hear or see something you shouldn't have?” Tommy asked. “What?” asked Wilbur sounding confused. “Oh, nevermind then.” said Tommy. They were having a normal conversation until Tommy said “Do you guys wanna meet up? We can do it at my house since it's quite big and is usually empty.” “Sure, we can do that. When?” asked Wilbur. “How much time would it take for all of you to arrive here?” asked Tommy. “Give us a month, we'll pack and come straight to your house.” said Dream. “Ok” said Tommy. After a while the call ended. Tommy went back to bed happy that night. He was happy that someone would finally come to visit him. It had been a year since he was ever even remotely excited.
