"Why are you asking Wilbur? He's just a friend" I said. Wilbur sighed. "Do you or do you not?" Asked Wilbur. Why did he want to know so bad? Just why.
"I don't know Wilbur. I care about him because he's a friend but maybe I do?" I said questioning myself. Wilbur sighed. "Look. I think you staying here with me won't do you any good. I asked Tommy's parents and they agreed to have you stay with them. It's just until I find mom and talk with her. And until mom and I find you both a new house." Said Wilbur.
"Wait what? So I'm staying with them until mom gets back? Because if it's until mom gets back.. I don't think she will.. she left a note saying she's going and not coming back. I haven't said anything because I thought it was a joke.." I said. Wilbur and I talked about it and it was appernt that I will be moving in with him now. But until then I will be with Tommy and his parents. The officers dropped the phones off to me so I took my bags and Tommy's phone to his parents house. They let me in but I told them to not tell Tommy so I could surprise him. I decided to sneak near his bedroom window. He opened it and saw me. He also seemed to have dark circles but his face lit up when he saw me. That made me smile.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. I smiled bigger. "Came to get my ring back. And to say that I will be living with you for a while. I'm moving to Wilburs apartment but I can't stay with him until I do." I said. Tommy just laughed. We hung in his room and just talked and laughed trying to make one another forget what happened the day before. It seemed to work for Tommy.
"Mum hasn't let me use any devices for a while. Although I've heard some things from the neighbors. Someone said something about us on the internet and.. why Valerie?" Asked Tommy. I looked at him. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"I saw your stream last night.. why did you tell chat about what happened when we were told not to. And really.. "he's my hero" like I know I am but still" said Tommy. I laughed at that. "Well.. I streamed so they knew from me that I'm fine. Well. That I'm okay... I saw people's remarks of what happened to us and how there were jokes and stuff being said about you. The rumors aren't true and I don't want anyone thinking they are. I had to stop it. Seriously Tommy. You deserve the world not the hate you get. And I got so pissed off about it." I said.
"But why? I'm the one getting the hate not you. I mean I hate myself for it too.." admitted Tommy. I slapped him instantly. He just held his cheek looking at me. I got pissed off at Tommy. "What was that for?!?" He asked. I stood up from the floor where we sat in his room.
"If you watched my stream you'd understand. I said I'd let nobody talk bad about my friend Tommy. That includes yourself. So shut up and don't talk bad about yourself. Not only do you hurt yourself but you hurt others around you. We all love you and we're glad your safe but you talking down on yourself does not make it right!" I said I then left his room and went to the room across which is the room I was staying in for the time.
It was early morning when I was in Tommy's room. It was now 8 pm and I had stayed in my new room the entire day. Tommy knocked on the door to let me know it was dinner time. "Who is it? I'm changing" I said. There was no answer. "Tom.. it's Tommyinnit. Aka your hero if you allow me to be" said Tommy. I just laughed to myself. I finish changing the bandages and throw a hoodie over. I open the door and Tommy falls on me.
"Ow you dick" I said. He got up quickly. "Sorry." He said. I sighed and got up then looked at him.
"You needed some Tom?" I asked. I didn't want to be mad but what he said about himself really pissed me off. "I'm sorry.. I actually have no idea what I'm apologizing for but I don't want you to be mad. I- where are you going right now?" Asked Tommy.
"Go visit someone. I'll be back later in the night. Not hungry and your father and mother left on an urgent call. They feel horrible for leaving us at a time like this to what happened to us but I told them it was fine. So we're alone for 2 days at most. I made dinner for you earlier so eat it and I'll just grab myself something" I said. I pushed past Tommy and walked down the stairs. He grabbed my wrist but I flinched back because it hurt so bad still. I was at the top of the stairs and nearly fell but Tommy caught me in time. "Careful! Look I'll go with you. Who are you going to?" Asked Tommy. I didn't say a thing.
"Tommy I'm fine ok.. I just have to say goodbye to somebody who I had loved. Look I lied to you and everyone. Those 3 people were my friends not my exes. They tried to get with me but I said no. But there is one person I loved and let's say... I'm still not quite over them but I need to say goodbye to them... I don't think I can have you Tag alone. My future can't meet my past. That timeline just doesn't work out." I said. Tommy looked so confused I just smiled and laughed.
" "my?" What do you mean by My? And why?" Asked Tommy. I stopped smiling and realized I said my. "I-I mean the.. not my silly me. Hahahah. And no" I said.
