Chapter 23

Tommy POV:

I lie down in bed to try and fall back asleep, but I just can't. Eventually I give up on trying to sleep.

I stand up and stretch for a moment before checking the time.

Only 2am!?

I still have a while before morning.

Well, everyone's asleep here downstairs, maybe I could go explore their rooms?

Without a second thought I run upstairs.

First I go to Phil's room, and in all honesty, it's kinda boring. There's nothing even to look at.

Then I go to Technos room, I've been here before, but I didn't get a chance to look around that much.

I go over to a cabinet in his room and when I open it I'm shocked by what I see.

A sword!!!!

Techno has a sword!?

I wonder if he could teach me something.

After a bit more exploring, I go to Wilbur's room.

It's kinda plain other than all the instruments.

But one thing catches my attention.

Outside of a window, there's a ledge rather than just a drop to the ground.

I quietly open the window and carefully step onto the ledge.

The ledge is about three feet wide, so I go over to the edge of it and slowly sit down.

I've always been suicidal, but I haven't really had those thoughts as much recently. I definitely do not plan on jumping off, I just think it's really peaceful here.

I made sure to leave the window open so I could get back in, and I know I can be really careful, so I'm not really worried.

Phil POV:
I wake up on the couch next to Techno, it looks dark outside so I'll just go back to sleep.

...I can't sleep

Sitting up, I look around. Everything looks fine. I see Wilbur sleeping in an uncomfortable position, Techno sleeping next to me on the couch, and Tommy, who's all bundled in blankets to where I can't even see him.

Feeling assured that everyone's okay, I try to fall back asleep.

Somethings wrong.....

I get up again, I can see Techno and Wil, but I guess I need to know that Tommy's okay. I go over to him and pull back the blankets...

My eyes widen as I realize no ones there.

I stand up quickly, fully awake now. Not wanting to wake up the others I look for Tommy alone.

After quickly looking through the whole downstairs, I practically run upstairs.

He's probably in the bathroom...

First I check in the bathroom, after seeing no ones there, I grow even more worried.

He probably decided to sleep in his room....

Realizing I'm probably overreacting, I head over to Tommy's room. Opening the door, I see no ones there. At this point I'm full on panicking.

Where else can he be!?

Forgetting about being quiet, I rush over to Techno's room. Seeing no one in there, I run over to Will's room.

Looking inside I see no one. I'm about to turn to leave until I see Wilbur's window open. Approaching the window, I cautiously peer over the edge to see Tommy sitting on a ledge.

Relief washes over me as I realize he's okay. I'm not concerned because I know he'll be careful, and Wilbur's done this many times before.

I slowly open the window wide enough for me to get through. Then I proceed to carefully go through the window and stand on the ledge.

I can see Tommy visibly tenses, as I was loud enough for him to know I'm here. Even though he can obviously tell someone's behind him, he doesn't turn around, he doesn't even move.

I slowly approach him and sit beside him on the ledge. He probably thinks he's going to get in trouble, because he's still super tense.

Breaking the silence, I say, "It's very peaceful out here isn't it?"

Hearing my words, he relaxes a bit.

"Yeah, it really is.." Tommy replies.

After a little while of sitting in a comfortable silence, I slowly stand up.

"I'm going back to bed," I begin saying, "Make sure your careful out here, and make sure your back inside by morning."

He nods his head and I make my way back inside.

As quiet as possible, I walked downstairs.

It's kind of worrying that Tommy's awake right now, but I'm not gunna worry about that right now.

I head over to the couch and lie down in a comfortable position before falling into a deep sleep.
