A Park Is No Place To Hide

Ignorance -chapter 11

[TW: derealization? I think?]

June 16th friday

Tommy's Pov:

"Phil we are home!" Tubbo called, but unsurprisingly no response was made.

"Phil!?" I called out.

No response.

A sudden anxiety began to rise in my stomach. Untill footsteps were heard upstairs, heading towards the stairs.
Techno came quickly walking down the stairs with a board expression on his face.

"Techno, where's Phil?" I asked, pushing my anxiety back down.

"Phil got a urgent call into work, left me in charge." Technos monotoned voice replied.

I sighed in relief.

"Seriously?" Tubbo asked as his face fell slightly.

This had been happening more often then not, when Phil would have to randomly rush out due to a work emergency. It was getting annoying, but I also didn't particularly care. I didn't mind it being just me and Tubbo and usually Techno in the house. Also not to say Phil is never there, when he is home he spends majesty of his time with us, always saying he feels bad for leaving all the time.

"Yea, somthing about a new employee? I didn't pay much  attention." Techno shrugged.

"Fair, well we are gonna head up to our room now!" I said as I walked passed Techno, ascending the stairs.

"I was gonna order pizza, did you-?"

"Nope already ate!" I said as I rounded the corner into the line of doors.
I walked to me and Tubbos shared room, and opened the door.

"Why is Phil working so much?" I couldn't help but ask myself.

"Hospital bills"

Apart of me thought.

I shoved the thoughts from my mind.

My bag was laying on my bed, probably from when Tubbo threw it down. I sighed and set it on the floor before sitting on my bed.

It only took about a minute for 3 sets of footsteps sounded up the stairs and down the hall.

......

Once The other 3 got into the room, we decided similar to the 1st time Ranboo stayed over. We should figure out where everyone sleeps.

"I can sleep on the floor?" Purpled said dropping his bag by the bedroom door.

"No" me and Tubbo said in unison.

"Sleeping on the floor always hurt." I thought to myself.

Purpled raised his eye browns and Ranboo just shook his head as he sat on Tubbos bed.

"Phil got a air mattress for Ranboo, but Boo you can take my bed again." Tubbo said sitting next to me on my bed.

"I feel bad about that though, it's your bed." Ranboo's eyesbrowse furrowed.

"Wait, where are you gonna sleep then?" Purpled asked, sitting in the spinning chair at my desk.

"More then likely, over here with Tommy." He responded, giving Mr a side glance, "and Boo, seriously don't worry about it." Tubbo assured Ranboo. Who still looked skeptical.

I glanced around for something to do, pretending to not see Tubbos almost worried glance. Similar to how he ignored me in the dinner earlier.

"Anyone wanna play Mario kart?" I asked.
