The Recovery Process.

Chapter 3

"Schools opening back up tomorrow. Are you ready to go back? Or do you need some more time?" George asked, it was already the middle of the day, and George has received a call from the school.

They said they were finally opening their doors again.

"I'll be fine." Tommy insured, George looked at him. "You sure?" He asked, Tommy nodded.

"Alright, make sure your uniform is clean and ironed." George instructed. Tommy groaned and went to do the chore of laundry.

George chuckled at Tommy's antics. He was then distracted by a call.

"Hello?" George answered the phone.

"George? This is Wilbur. We couldn't get in contact With Dream. We were wondering how Tommy was doing?" Wilbur's voice was heard through the phone.

"He's better, still using the wheelchair, but he should be able to walk any day now." George answered.

"Thats good, I'm glad to hear it. I need to talk to Tommy. Is there anyway I could?" Wilbur asked.

"He's busy, why do you need him?" George asked his own question. This might get heated.

"I wanted to speak to him about the mission he agreed to go on. It was supposed to be yesterday, but clearly they were not going to go on it. I was going to ask him when he'd think he'd be ready." Wilbur explained, George sighed.

"How about we arrange a meeting? You can ask him in person." George proposed, Wilbur hummed.

"Thats a good idea. How's later today, in the cafe?" Wilbur asked, George thought for a moment.

"That'll be fine. See you then." George confirms, Wilbur says something then hangs up the phone. Probably a goodbye.

He soon got a text message from a random number, it was a time to be at the cafe. He sighed remembering the number and tossed his phone on the couch.

"Who was that?" Tommy asked, he came from the way of the laundry room.

"Wilbur. We have to meet him later today." George explained simply, turning towards Tommy.

"Oh, is it about that one mission?" Tommy asked, George nodded.

"Did you listen in on the conversation?" George asked.

Tommy started to roll away, "Im gonna go see what Nick's doing." He said avoiding the question.

"Tom." George said dragging out the 'm' sound.

He just kept going.

George laughed, Tommy was a goofy kid. He was glad they met.

He was glad Clay found him.

He was glad they fought for him.

"Tom we leave in thirty!" George yelled from his room.

Tommy groaned. He was in his bed reading a book.

He decided today was a day to look nice. (He's been wearing the same clothes for awhile.).

He wore some black ripped jeans, red converse, and a tan hoodie with a rose flower design on it. It was a rose that was small and where the heart was. There was a bigger image of it on the back.

Tommy struggled putting on the pants, but everything else was fine.

Well, except for the shoes.

"Gogy!" Tommy yelled dragging out the 'y' sound.

George walked into the room. He was wearing regular blue jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie. It looked like Clays hoodie. (It was Clays hoodie. George just doesn't want to admit it.).

"Yes, Tommy?" Tommy pointed down to the shoes, "Help?" He said, he sounded like a toddler.

George sighed. He walked over to Tommy and went to his shoes.

He put on the left shoe, then the right. Then he tied both of them.

"There, are you ready to go?" He asked, Tommy nodded.

George went to the back of the wheelchair and grabbed the handles. He started pushing Tommy to the front door.

"How are you going to get me down the steps?" Tommy asked.

"I could just push you and hope for the best?" George said, Tommy was unamused, but he ultimately started laughing.

"Dont do that! Go get Nick or Clay!" Tommy ushered, he didnt want to be pushed down the stairs.

"Fine." He said, George left Tommy on the porch and went to get the others for help.

Soon, he came back with a sleepy Clay and a hyper Nick.

"My saviors!" Tommy smiled.

Nick went to the front and Clay grabbed the back handles.

"Three, two, one." Clay counted, they both lifted and walked down the stairs carefully.

Once at the bottom, they sat Tommy down gently.

"Thank you!" Tommy said, Nick pat his shoulder and Clay rubbed his head.

They went back inside to do whatever they feel like.

George went back to pushing Tommy and went to his car. George went to the passenger side and opened the door for Tommy.

Tommy climbed in and shut the door.

George went to the back of the car and popped the trunk. He folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.

George then closed the trunk and went to the driver side door.

Once in the car, he put on his glasses.

"Ready?" George asked.

"Yep!" Tommy said excitedly.

He was excited to finally be out of the house.
