Healing Scars (Sequel to Wounds of Pain)

(4) Leaving

When the party was over, it was about 7:45 pm. Wilbur got Tommy and Tubbo and told them it was time to leave. Tubbo hugged Eret goodbye and Tommy thanked Dream for the food. Wilbur also thanked Techno before leaving.

They got in the car, but they weren't as loud as they were when they came here. It was dark outside, and Wilbur was glad he said no to drinking today. Although, he realized, it would have been good angst. Anyways, he continued driving them home.

When he finally got to their house, he checked the time. 8:26. He decided to walk them in. He got out of the car and walked inside the house with them. "Wanna stay and chill with us for a bit, Wil?" Tubbo asked. "Sure, why not. Not too long though." Wilbur agreed.

They sat in the living room and just chatted, watched TV, and chilled. Tubbo found a way to play Tetris on the TV, so they ending up competing on that.

"HA! I WON!"

"NO, I HAD A HIGHER SCORE."

"I LASTED LONGER!"

"NONONONO. I WON."

"WILBUR YOU SON OF A BITCH JUST ADMIT IT I WON-"

They eventually decided to give up on Tetris. Wilbur yawned as he checked the time. "It's 10:03, I should head home." He said. "Aw, bye Wilbur!" Tubbo said, tiredly. "Fine, see ya tomorrow, Wil." Tommy said.

Wilbur left the house after that. Tommy and Tubbo decided to stay in the living room for a bit. Tubbo got them some snacks and they decided on playing minecraft on the tv.

15 Minutes later

"Yes!!" Tommy exclaimed as he killed Tubbo in PVP. "Aw man!" Tubbo sulked. Tommy ate a cracker, accidentally swallowing it too soon. He coughed it back up and spit it on his plate.

Tubbo laughed, trying to lighten the mood, "Now, don't go throwing your food up again!" He joked. After a second, he realized Tommy wasn't laughing and looked at him to see that he was angry. "I was kidding, I didn't mean-"

"Tubbo, what the hell?!"

"Hey, look, I'm sorry. I was just trying to lighten-"

"That was not fuckin' okay! Why the hell would you joke about that?!"

Tommy threw down his controller and stood up. "Y'know, sometimes your a real dick, Tubbo!"

Tubbo did the same. "I was just trying to lighten the mood! Shut up, you don't need to get so angry!"

"You shouldn't have said that!"

"I'm sorry, it was a joke, Tommy!"

"Well at least I have good parents."

Tubbo froze after that. "What?"

"Oh, my bad. It was just a joke, Tubbo!"

Tubbo turned away from him. "Fuck you." He said, before walking out the door and leaving.

Tommy went to bed.

----------

After Wilbur left, he was really tired. He got in the car and started driving home. He almost hit someone because he was exhausted.

He finally got to his street and drove to his house. He carefully pulled into the driveway and put his car in the garage. He got out, making sure to lock his car, and went inside.

When he got inside, he went to his room and changed into pajamas. He then climbed into bed.

Today was pretty fun. He thought. I'm glad I was able to get Tommy and Tubbo home safely. I can rest easy knowing they're both at home asleep.

----------

Tubbo left the house and shut the door behind himself. Where was he going? Hell if he knew. He just wanted to be away from Tommy.

He began just walking down the street. He started thinking of the night's events.

He could admit, he shouldn't have made that joke. It was a sensitive topic to Tommy. He just thought maybe he would have been over it by now, and could use a little humor. He was wrong.

He felt bad for upsetting Tommy. But he also felt that Tommy shouldn't have made that insult, because it was way out of pocket. Tubbo was making a joke, but Tommy just said it to be petty.

Or maybe he should just go apologize. He turned around to head back home.

He froze as he realized, he had no clue where he was. He didnt recognize any of the houses. He started to panic a bit, as it was night, and he didn't have a phone on him. He decided to just keep walking until he found something he recognized.

He continued walking, but couldn't help but feel uneasy. He chose to ignore it, but the feeling grew as he kept walking. He had an overwhelming sense of being followed.

He turned around, but didn't see anything, so kept walking. He kept feeling uneasy, so he picked up the pace. That's when he heard rustling behind him.

Once again, he turned around quickly, but saw nothing. He started walking very fast now. After a few seconds, the person wasn't even trying to hide, and came running for him.

Tubbo's instincts kicked in and he just began running.

Unfortunately, the person caught up to him and tackled him to the ground. He couldn't see who it was. He tried to scream for help. "HEL-" He tried, but the person grabbed his head and slammed it against the concrete, effectively knocking him out.

Everything went black.
