Taking Control of Panic

Chapter 3

Yoooooo! Let's start the dramaaaaaaaaa!!

Sorry if this fic is going a little fast pace :( A lot will go on in this chapter, so I'll post a small recap at the beginning of the next chapter so you don't forget.

TW: Slight mention of blood, abuse, and violence (Stay safe <3)

I woke up confused as I looked around for Tubbo, but he wasn't there. He probably just went home or is downstairs. I went downstairs and saw everyone at the table already(including Tubbo).

"Hey, kiddo! I thought that we would let you sleep in after last night. Are you feeling better?" Phil asked

"Yeah." Is all I said as I sat down at the table and grabbed some eggs. "Sorry about that."

"What happened last night?" Wilbur asked with his mouth full. I debated whether or not to tell them, but half of the family already knew, so why not.

"Panic attack. I'm really sorry. I won't let it happen again." I said, feeling guilty and bouncing my leg. Tubbo noticed and put a hand on my leg for comfort.

"Ranboo, there is no reason to apologize. Trust me, it's completely normal. I had one almost every day for my first two weeks here. There is no judgement in this house." Wilbur said which helped. We finished up eating and Phil left for work.

"Bye Ranboo! I'm going to Tubbo's house!" Tommy said and walked out. Now what do I do?

I went up to my room and grabbed my phone. I remembered that game that I played with Tubbo and Tommy and decided to log onto the server. I was alone until I saw a simple message that said 'WilburSoot has joined the game.' A second later I heard Wilbur yell, "Ranboo! Come here!" Was I in trouble? I walked over and saw the door open. I peered in and saw Wilbur with a huge smile! 'Good, not in trouble' I thought.

"I didn't know you were on the server!" He said with a big, contagious smile.

"Yeah, Tommy and Tubbo added me yesterday."

"You can take a seat in the bean bag if you want." He offered, so I did. It gave me a chance to study the room more. I saw an electric guitar and two acoustic guitars. He also had a keyboard and a ukulele. Man, this guy really likes music.

"What are you looking at?" Wilbur's voice spoke up, distracting my thoughts.

"Oh, just the guitars. Do you actually play them?" I asked and he laughed.

"Of course I do! Want to hear a song?" He asked and I nodded. I've always enjoyed music, but never got to listen to a lot of it.

"This one is called 'Maybe I was Boring' and I wrote it myself." As soon as he started strumming, I knew that it would be good, but it was unbelievable when he started singing. His voice sounded like honey. Or a tire swing hidden in a forest. It was beautiful and I was mesmerized. At the end I clapped and heard clapping from the door where I saw Techno. Wilbur stood up to put the guitar away and took a bow "Thank you. Thank you." Techno returned to his room so it was just Wilbur and I again. I continued to study the room and saw a sword above his bed. 'I'll have to ask about that later' I thought to myself. We played Minecraft for a couple hours and he introduced me to Niki who was apparently Tubbo's sister. She was extremely sweet and I wished we could talk for longer, but I heard Tubbo and Tommy talking about turning off her PC, in the background, and she randomly left the call. They must've followed through with their plan. It's only been a couple of days, but I've been growing close to this family. I keep telling myself to not get attached, but here we are. I heard the front door swing open as soon as I was leaving Wilbur's room. I went downstairs and saw Tubbo next to Tommy, but Tubbo had a black eye and was limping.
