Tommy's POV

Everyone was feeling down. Everyone had just said their heartfelt goodbyes as they left the house. Wilbur was sad, as was phil, Tubbo, techno and Lia. To my surprise Lia basically became another member of our family. She played the role of the protective mother and goofy sister. It made me smile seeing her so happy with them.

After everyone left Lia stuck around as per usual. When she first started coming over she was always on guard. But now she was treating my house like it was hers as I wanted her too. Which made perfect sense because she spent more time here than her actual home.

Lia's POV
It was the evening after everyone left and me and Tommy were hanging out on his bed. I had my head on his chest as he combed through my hair. We were both on our phones but I was more focused on melting into his touch. Suddenly I heard I car loudly skirt into the driveway. I looked at Tommy's and saw a panicked look on his face. It took my mind a second to register what was happening until Tommy interrupted me.

"Hop in the closet, I will explain later" he said hastily before opening the closet door. I knew if he was this panicky it was for a reason so I listened and walked into the closet.

"Stay as quite as possible and don't ever get out till I say it's clear" he said with fear evident in his voice. I watched as his shaky hands closed the closet door and he returned to sitting on the bed. I peered through the small crack in the door that surprisingly gave me full view of the room. My heart sank as the door was flung open. I examined the man that came through the door. He had bloodshot eyes, messy hair, he smelled strongly of achohol and in his had there was a beer bottle.

Lia tried to hold in a scream as Tommy was aggressively punched sending him fall backwards. My hand drifted over my mouth as Tommy father broke the beer bottle on Tommy's head. Tommy led out a yelp and blood began to dribble down his face. Tommy's father began talking the most messed up shit that nobody should ever say to another human especially father to son. But you cannot even call this evil man a father.

The man continued insulting him calling him fat and telling him not to eat. 'That explains the Ed' I thought to myself. Tears began to aggressively fall down my face as   Tommy's father slammed Tommy's head on the wall. I felt my heart stop, Tommy's father took a hold on his neck and lifted Tommy of his feet. My brain was in a massive argument of stay put or help Tommy. After a few seconds I realized I couldn't take it anymore.

I burst through the closet stumbling over to the man. Tommy eyes went wide as he saw me.

"Stop! He can't breathe let him go!" I yelled and pleaded. The man didn't even acknowledge me, still keeping his eyes on Tommy. Suddenly Tommys eyes closed and he wend limp. It felt like a part of me died right then and there.

"Please stop your killing him!" I pleaded

"He can't breath! Just please let him go" I continued to scream.

"Your murdering him!" I screamed. I noticed my efforts were no use. I ran up to him and attempted to pry his hand off Tommy. I continued to plead as I kicked and hit the man but it was to use. Just as I thought all was lost and Tommy was most definitely out of air his father let go and Tommy dropped to the grown leaving a trail of blood down the wall. Suddenly the man turned to me and backed me into the wall.

"You tell anyone you saw this or else you and the boy are dead"  he whispered in my ear. I stood still not knowing how to react. He than simply left the room and I heard his car skid out of the driveway. I immediately ran over to Tommy and fell to my knees sobbing at the sight.
