My One and Only

Nightmares

I was still talking to Tommy on facetime as I laid down in my bed. The idea of a meetup woth him seems so fun, but I'd still have to run the idea past Clay. We kept talking and I look back over at the phone to see Tommy propped up on my nightstand against a water bottle. He was still sitting at his desk playing games. Drista walked into the room and grabbed some clothes to change into. Moments later she came back and had laid down. "Who are you talking to?" she mouthed. "Tommy," i said answering her. "Yes, Y/n?" "Oh nothing! Drista walked in and was wondering who I was on the phone with." I looked back at the phone to see him struggling to set up his phone. I chuckled softly and he heard, "No laughing woman!" "I cant hep it Tommy! Its just funny to see a big man like your struggling," I retorted. We continued to talk about anything and everything as the night carried on. Soon enough I heard light snores come from my phone. I glanced over to see Tommy laying there asleep. He looks so peaceful.  I looked at the time to see that it was already 2. I turned over to get some sleep, the picture of Tommy still in my mind.

-Time skip-

I woke up in my bed back at my parents house. What am I doing here? I got up and looked around the house. I thought nobody was there until I saw my dad. He hit me and pushed me around while my mother sat there and watched. I looked back to my father who had a belt in his hand now. He started to beat me with is as he yelled at me about how unsuccessful I was compared to Nick. "Why couldnt you be like your brother! He got a job and started streaming  to make money. What have you done? Youre 9 and dont do anything to help anyone but yourself!" "Dad! I do a bunch of shit to help! I clean the dishes, make you food, do your laundry and take care of the animals! You and mom are just too stuck up to realize! I work my butt of while mom goes on trips to see her friends and you sit here and drink all day!" I tried to reason with them but nothing was working. Suddenly I felt a sharp sting across my face. I covered the spot the belt had whipped me with my hand as mom got up and left. The last thing I remember was hearing the crack of the belt. I woke up in a hospital bed with an IV attached to me. I tried to sit up look around the room but I felt weak. As I slumped back into the bed I heard someone calling my name. "Y/n! Y/n!" The more I listened to the calling I realized how realistic it sounded.

"Y/n!" I shot up n a cold sweat. I looked around the room in a panic trying to remember where I was. "Y/n? Are you alright?" I looked over to my nightstand to see a very concerned Tommy. "Are you okay?  What happend? I heard you mumbling an- an- and then I heard crying and I didnt know what was happening so I texted Sapnap and Clay and I was really worried, and-" "Tommy, Im okay, sorry for waking you. You dont have to worry about me. Thank you though." As I finished, Nick and Clay came into the room. "Did it happen again?" Nick mouthed. I nodded. Clay came up to me and sat on my bed comforting me. Nick took my phone and thanked Tommy. Tommy said that he would stay on the phone the rest of the night to make sure everything would be okay. Clay and Nick looked at me waiting for a response. I said it was okay if he was willing to. After about 5 minutes Drista woke up as Nick and Clay were leaving and she said she was just gonna stay awake cause she fell asleep earlier than usual, so she left as well. "Thank you Tommy," I said. "Of course. May I ask what happend? You dont have to tell me if you dont want to." "Its alright, I trust you. So when I was little my parents always loved Nick. They would see me as his shadow and useless. They would yell at me for being lazy and unsuccessful, even when I did more than both of them combined. When Nick moved out, things got worse. They talked down to me more and eventually started abusing me. One day, Nick walked in on it and called the medics. I was in the hospital for weeks with bruises from the belt, a broken arm from them shoving me everywhere and multiple scars. Soon after that Nick gained full custody of me and we moved my things from my parents house to his." I finished, tears starting to prick my eyes. "Oh, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Next time that happens I will fly my ass down and beat the shit out of them myself." "Thank you Tommy," I said with a giggle. "You better get some sleep, Its only 5 am for you!" I started to lay down and get comfy. "I cant wait until I can meet you in real life." "Me too, Y/n," he said. "Goodnight Thomas" "Goodnight"
