Stealing Secrets

Theft

TW: SWEARING, STEALING, THATS IT I THINK

Tommy went to bed after a bit of comfort eating. He grabbed some pjs and got dressed in the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and hair and tried to go to sleep. He woke up at 2:04. Wilbur was fast asleep, like everyone else. Tommy woke up with a thought crossing his mind. He's been losing money because of the vlogs, less people have been watching him cause he was streaming to much. He was losing money, and not gaining enough back, he didn't bring to much money, nor did he have enough clothes for two weeks. He had nothing. So super sleep deprived, stressed, and literally wanting to kill people. Tommy's very unhealthy brain, turned to the one think that could ruin him, take everything away from him, and get him locked away for a while, but at the time, it was genius. He was in a fancy hotel. They've got to have so much money stored here. Tommy thought that stealing, would be a good idea.

He got up, exhausted, half asleep, and convinced. He slipped on a hoodie, freezing. He got some shoes and put them on. Grabbed a flashlight, Wilburs credit card, and left. He first went to the restaurant. It was locked. Hoping the card would work, he slipped it through and it opened. He crept inside, blending in with the shadows. He tiptoed toward the cash register and opened it up. There were a lot of 20 dollar bills. He took 3 and left. Terrified, he told himself, "Only do it when you have too."

He went to costumer service carefully opened the cash register. He grabbed two fives, and one twenty. He shoved them in his wallet and went back to his room. He was shaking, partly from cold, partly from fear. He wasn't sure. He took off his shoes and laid down. He tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep. Even though he was tired. Something was keeping him awake. Probably the fact that he just stole. He knew that if he told Wilbur, he'd get in trouble, if he told Phil, he'd get in trouble, if he told anyone, he'd get in trouble. He'd feel bad if he asked for more money, but bad for stealing. He told himself that even though it was wrong, this place was probably rich. That he'd be ok if he only stole a little. He was definitely not going to do this until he has to. Oh lord, what had he become?

The next morning, he was tired. "How come, when the only thing I can't do, is sleep, it's all I can do?" Tommy thought to himself. He was nervous when Wilbur woke up. It was around 9 o'clock. Tommy was up and getting something to eat. He felt like he was almost done his essay, so he left it alone. "What time is it?" Wilbur asked as he woke up. "Around 9." Tommy answered. Wilbur laid back down and grabbed his phone. Tommy wanted to be avoided, afraid he'd accidentally tell him what happened. He took the chance to leave and just looked around the garden. He grabbed his shoes and crept out the door. He went down the stairs and wandered around.

He sat down on a bench and just watched the butterflies. One landed on his head. He went really still, hoping it would fly off, but not wanting to disturb it. Finally it flew off, so Tommy went to get some food. He knew Tubbo gets up for at least a few hours from now. No idea when George gets up. He just asked for water and took a long time purposely. When he decided he took long enough, he finished, payed the money and walked off. He thought he could sneak some work in, so he crept back into his room, grabbed the laptop and left. He sat on a bench in the garden, opened his laptop and wrote, read, over and over again. He was getting calmer the more he felt like he was done. I'm not sure how on earth he got more information, put it into his own words, over and over again, all day, for a week. And I'm not going to question it.

It was nearly 11 by now. He closed the laptop and went back up stairs. Wilbur was asleep, so he placed the laptop on the counter, and watched something on his phone. After a few minutes, there was a knock at the door, Tommy opened it to see Tubbo.
"Hey Tommy! I heard there was a huge maze or something at the back of the hotel, you and Wilbur wanna head down?" "Again, why didn't you just text me?" I felt like seeing someone other then George today." "Ok sure, Wilburs asleep, so I'll go." Tommy answered. He put on some sneakers and went with Tubbo. The maze was huge, they were going to get lost, but they didn't care. They walked in, went around, and right away, they were lost.
