Tommy's POV

It was the morning of the meet up. I was extremely nervous and also excited. I told my dad about the meetup resulting in a few punches to the gut for letting fake friends meet me. I accepted his words but in the end it resulted in him saying he doesn't give a fuck.

My alarm went off at around five am. I pulled myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom.  I had my usual shower and brushed and fluffed my hair. I tried my best not to look in the mirror but i failed.

What I saw in the mirror is a pale skinny boy with bandages wrapped around his arm and a very noticeable gash in his forehead. I sighed and left the bathroom. I had a lot of things to do today hence the time I woke up. One thing I had to do was clean and prepare the house, I also have to pick up every one at about three. But before any of that I need to do something else.

Just over two weeks ago I sent Betty to a training camp. Basically she goes and gets trained to do simple things, and to engage with other dogs. I was extremely excited to see the 5 month old puppy I missed so much. And of course the middle age people who play video games for a living and my best friend.

I made my way downstairs and realized I should probably eat. I grabbed a small granola bar and sat on the counter. I Texted Lia about the meetup and she was excited for me to meet my friends. After texting Lia I found myself in the same place as always. Thinking about her uncontrollably, and wishing for something I knew I would never get.

I decided to take Lia with me to pick up Betty so we can visit before the meetup. After finishing the not so appetizing granola bar I headed out to my car. Contraire to popular belief I can drive and I own a car. Me and my dad each have a car because he refuses to use the new car I bought.

I hoped in the car and drove to pickup Lia. I parked outside the foster home and knocked on the door. The door was opened by a young girl about the age of 7.
She looked extremely nervous

"Hi" I said in a sweet tone trying to make her less nervous. She relaxed and greeted me.

"Hello, what can we help you with" she said in a formal yet mind tone. I was confused on what 7 year old talks like that but I ignored it.

"I am here to pick up a friend her name is Lia" I said to the girl

"Yalyna! (Ya-le-na)Get your ass down here" she yelled with a giggle. I was a bit taken aback by the yelling and cursing but I was more confused by the name she used.

"Mya what did I tell you about calling me that!" I heard Lia yell.

"I know, I know, I just knew it would get you here faster" she said in a sassy tone while smiling at Lia who had just got to the door. Lia looked at me and I greeted her and then we got in the car. After ten minutes of driving I asked Lia a question.

"Hey why did that girl call you Yalyna?" I asked her cautiously

" that's The name my parents gave me when I was born but when they left I decided I need to change so I changed my name" she informed me

" a lot of other kids at the foster home do it to. Like mya the girl you just met, her real name is Malia (Ma-lie-a)." She finished and I nodded in understanding not wanting to push it. It took us a mother fifteen minutes get there and we talked the hole way. Once we got there and went inside betty ran right to us. She Han so fast her little legs couldn't keep up and she did a little summersault.

Once I got home I placed Betty in the backyard and put away my stuff. I already dropped off Lia so I could get cleaning done. I checked my watch to see it was already ten. I made sure Betty was comfortable before leaving for the store.

As I drove I thought about earlier. About how much Betty and Lia liked each other and how Betty wanted to sit on Lia's lap on the ride home. I was pulled out of my train of thought when I pulled into the store parking lot. I decided I wanted to go all out so I ended up with a full shopping cart.

Once I got home I got straight to it. I started by cleaning up beer bottles, sweeping up glass, mopping and vacuuming. Then I dusted wiped and cleaned every square inch of the house. Then I tided up everything. After the house was clean it was time to restock.

I refilled the fridge and pantry and freezer. I made sure we had enough good to past a bit before going shopping. I then put in the new cups, plates and bowls. Then new utensils, I needed those because my dad only has one of everything he says that are 'for him and him only'. I continued to restock and there was so much, towels, soap, pillows, blankets and more. As I went I found my self getting side tracked dancing and singing to music. Betty looked at me like I was crazy when I did this.

After I finished I felt very proud. I had cleaned everything to perfection. I decided I should do the outside too. I went outside and saw how much of a disaster it was. I got to work quickly. I restocked the firewood, clean the fire pit, put up the new lights and put all the pillows back on the outdoor furniture.

Then I mowed the lawn, trimmed the bushes and watered the flowers. And last but not least I refilled the pool and hot tub, added new Chlorine tablets to both and wiped down the diving board.

I was just about yo sit down when Betty ran full speed into the pool. I laughed as she puppy dog paddled to the entrance of the pool. I smiled at the adorable dog happy she is home.

A/N

Sorry for the long wait for chapters, I have a hard time finding motivation to write chapters because of my summer break lazyness. I will try to publish chapters more often!
