"Come on in Toms."

Tommy walked into Wilbur's room. His thoughts racing.

"Look Tommy, I'm sorry I yelled it's just that... well I'm a bit bitter."

"I get that Wilbur and look I'm sorry too. I haven't been saying much."

"Tommy could I just tell you why I'm so uptight right now and then maybe you can talk?"

"Sure Wilbur."

"It's just Tommy I don't get it." Tommy looked down, then back up and stared. "I can't understand how you are perfectly fine." Tommy cringes; he's not perfectly fine. "I mean you're not kidnapped, you said it wasn't our fault and because you're not saying anything else, it kind of sounds like you left for no reason other than you wanted to. And look at me Toms, I'm glad you're okay." Wilbur starts to get a bit more on edge the more he talks it seems. "But it also seems that when Techno and Phil gave up and I kept looking, you didn't want to be found. It seems like all the nights I stayed up worrying, all the days I couldn't eat or sleep because I was worried and scared for you, you were fine."

"Wil I-, it's not like that."

"Then what is it Tommy? Every night I stayed up and left the light on because I hoped you would show up on the steps? Every time I thought you were hurt IN A DITCH, OR- OR WORSE?" "You couldn't come back? Or you WOULDN'T? Tommy wants to snap and tell Will everything. That he wasn't fine. He hadn't been for a while before leaving. (Tommy) I'm going to tell him. Only him, he can help and, and he just seems worried more than mad, it wouldn't hurt to tell him right? I didn't want to hurt him, but we're past that now.

"FINE. YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I LEFT? REALLY?"

"YES TOMMY OR WHY WOULD I KEEP ASKING?" They go quiet for a second.

"Look Toms I'm sorry you don't have too."

"Yea. I do. But you have to promise you won't tell Phil okay?" Tommy tears up a little. Wilbur stares.

"Tommy I can't keep that promise you know that."

"Please. I'll tell you, but you can't tell Phil and you-."

"Okay Tommy. I promise I'll be like a therapist okay?" (Wilbur) What's so bad I can't tell Phil? I shouldn't have yelled. He's always been sensitive to that. I'm an idiot. I won't tell Phil, I'll keep my promise, it can't be that bad anyone. I can make up some points with Tommy for listening and keeping a secret. "We have about three hours till they come back ok?" Tommy nods.

"Will?"

"Yes Tommy?"

"Could you give me a point to start at?" Wilbur at this point was just thinking what the fuck was going on, but he had to pull it together. For Tommy.

"Sure Toms, maybe why you left, or we could start easier-."

"No, I just want to get this over Will, that's a fine starting point." Tommy breathes deep. He was ready to share. He knew Will most of his life.

"Well where to begin, honestly I wasn't fine. I didn't leave because I wanted to. I left because I didn't want to hurt you guys."

"Tommy? What do you mean?"
