It's Not My Fault (Tommy angst) (2/2)

Tommy POV

A soft knock came from my door, but I paid no mind to it. Some part of my brain hoped it was Phil. Hoped he had finally woken up and realized how terrible of a father he had been to me. But I knew that was just a wish, I knew he would probably never do that.

"Toms?" A voice whispered as footsteps came into the room. Another pair followed behind. 

"What do you want?" I snapped, leaning against the wall. I was thankful for the darkness, at least it covered my tear stained cheeks. It saved me from embarrassment at least.

Someone slid beside me, another on my other side, sandwiching me between the two. I buried my face in my arms, refusing to look at either one of my brothers.

"Are you okay?" Techno asked, I could practically hear the concern lacing his voice.

"What do you think?" I rolled my eyes. Wilbur sighed beside me, slowly pulling me into his arms. I fought for a moment. "Leave me alone Wilbur."

"No." he simply said, pulling me into his lap. I gave up resisting, allowing him to wrap his arms tightly around me. "I'm sorry Toms."

"For what?" I asked, meeting his chocolate brown eyes. "You didn't do anything."

"The way Dad treats you is horrible." Techno commented, threading his fingers through my hair.

I shook my head, "I only have to live through it for a few more years, then I can leave and we'll never see each other again. It will be a dream come true for him." 

"I don't think-"

"He's made it very clear how he feels about me." I interrupted, not even entertaining another idea.

Wilbur paused, looking down at me with sadness. "At least you've got us. We love you, right Tech?"

"Of course." Techno smiled, not even hesitating with his answer.

I couldn't help but smile back, grateful I had two amazing brothers that loved me.

I tried to stay away from Phil as much as possible as days passed. The last thing I wanted to do was get yelled at more. I spent most of my time with Tubbo or with my brothers, safe in their rooms. 

But one night I couldn't avoid him. He made a point to prevent me from leaving the house by standing in front of the front door. He looked at me with sadness.

I rolled my eyes, turning on my heel, intent on leaving some other way.

"Tommy, can we talk?" his voice cracked, making my eyebrows raise.

"If you're going to ground me do it quick." I glared, prepared for any punishment he was going to throw me. I could live with having to do dishes for a month.

He sighed, almost looking nervous. But I didn't buy it. "Tommy I-" he paused, like he was unsure of how to say what he wanted to say. "I am so sorry."

I looked up in surprise. "Sorry?" I echoed, not sure if my ears had heard right.

"I had no idea how bad of a father I was being I-" Tears filled his eyes as he met mine. "I have no right to even call myself your father after everything I did." He shook his head, sniffing. "I am so sorry, for everything." A sob escaped from his lips as he looked at me for the first time in so long.

My eyes widened as I froze. Did he actually care about me? My brain screamed for me not to listen, to remember all the times he had neglected me. All times he was too busy to even look in my direction.

But I could see the pain in his eyes. I could see how sorry he felt and I knew he meant it. I had seen a lot of lying in my life and I knew for a fact that he was being completely genuine.

He wiped his eyes, looking up at me. "Can we start over?"

I paused, studying his face. "Okay." His eyes lit up at my word. I slowly made my way towards him, wrapping my arms around his torso. He engulfed me in a hug, whispering apologies in my unkept hair. I closed my eyes, enjoying the touch. I had dreamed about this for so long it was hard to believe it was actually happening. "I've missed you." I whispered into his shirt, not really caring if he heard me or not.

"I so sorry Tommy." he murmured, kissing my forehead and holding me close.

And for once in my life I truly felt loved. I felt like I actually had a father. Someone who loved me, someone who would protect me.

And it was everything I could ever imagine.
