Tommy's POV

I grumbled as my alarm blared into my ears. Light peered through my window as birds chirped happily. I began to pull myself up but felt a sharp pain in my neck. 'These beatings are just getting worse and worse' I thought to myself. I went into the bathroom but for my morning shower and let the scalding water hit my bruised body. I stepped out of the shower and got dressed but not before looking in the mirror.

For the first time I didn't see a snobby fat kid. I saw a broken traumatized boy who was as skinny as a twig and covered head to toe in bruises and cuts.

"Week"

My fathers words rang through my head. I knew it was true, I was weak. My pity party went on for about two minutes before I decided to do something. I decided it was time to go get some food since I haven't eaten in a week or so.

Once I got to the kitchen I saw my father on the couch watching tv but ignored him. I grabbed an apple but before I could leave the kitchen it was taken out of my hand.

"What did a say about eating" my father screamed in my face. I was quite annoyed at this point so I responded.

"Don't" I mocked, attitude lacing my voice . I knew I fucked up the second his angry expression turned into a tight grin. He than began his rant about how fat I am. No matter how fast he talked each word was clear and loud. As he talked any ounce of confidence I had left drained away leaving me hating myself. I let his words sink in and soon enough he was out of the house slamming the door behind him.

I sighed in relief because I wanted to stream. All the hunger inside my body dissipated and left disgust as I looked at the apple on the counter. I left the kitchen and sat at my computer. I let out a shaky breath and hit start stream.

"What is up boys!" I screamed, putting on my Tommyinnit persona. I found it funny how fast I could switch. I logged onto the smp and just ran around before a few people joined my call . Tubbo and Wilburs voice rang through the vc as they joined.

"Hi wil, hi tubs!" I greeted them. We chatted and laughed our asses off until a heard a few more dings indicating more people joined.

"Hey techno, Phil, and boob boy" I joked earning a large sigh out of ranboo. I began to fix the prime path as everyone talked about random stuff. Soon enough someone else joined the call.

"Hey big D!" I yelled as dream joined the call.

"What did I say about calling me that?" Dream asked me.

"Nothing" I said quickly, holding in laughter. Soon enough everyone was just chatting. I began to think. At home I was scared for my life day by day and living on the edge. But with these people I actually feel like I mattered and I will keep it this way as long as possible.

I will make sure I keep getting to hear Wilburs brotherly lectures, technos orphan killing plans, and Phil's comforting words. I will make sure I can keep telling Tubbo he is a big man, keep calling ranboo hot just to watch him get all flustered, and calling dream big D just to watch him descend into awkwardness. I will make sure I get yo keep seeing George blush when he sees dnf comment, sapnap say hey mamas and get bullied and watch Karl and quackity act like a couple.
