"Tommy?" Niki's eyes widened as he collapsed. She dived ahead of him so he wouldn't hit his head on the hard tile. She missed by an inch and Tommy's head hit the floor. "Fuck!" Eret heard the commotion and ran out. "Is he-"

"He's not okay! Just get a... I don't fucking know Eret! Get my phone!" Niki shouted back in panic. "Tommy? Can you hear me?" Niki called out hopelessly. Eret handed Niki her phone and she dialled Wilbur's number, no answer. She called again, no answer. "Fuck!" Eret frowned, "Does he have any health issues that would make him faint?" Niki let out a small gasp. "His hypoglycaemia! Fuck." Niki kept trying to call Wilbur, "Pick up, you dick!" Wilbur answered.

"What is it Niki? If it's about the money, I'm-"

"Wilbur! Come back to the bakery! Tommy fainted! He hit his head, and... and-" Niki shouted through the phone, cutting Wilbur off.

"He what? I'll be right th-" Wilbur hung up mid sentence.

Wilbur was in his room, wallowing in his own selfish sorrows and self pity. He was too selfish to answer the phone, too selfish to take the fucking money and pay rent. Too focused on his stupid pride. He threw his pillow at the wall as Niki called him for the 6th time. He sighed in frustration and answered. Once he heard what he had ignored, he felt horrible. Too selfish to care about his own brother.

Wilbur grabbed Tommy's meds as he ran out the door, knowing he forgot to take them. Once Wilbur reached the bakery, Niki was cradling a disoriented Tommy, holding a white cloth over his head, now red. Wilbur ran over in panic to check if he was okay, "Tommy? He forgot to take his meds!"

Tommy's head hurt, everything was blurry. Everything was confusing, who was this woman? Where was he? He saw a man kneel down in front of him and call his name, his face looked familiar. He thought of his childhood. "P-Phil?" He watched the man stumble back, startled. "No, T-Tommy. It's me! Wilbur!" Was he Tommy? He had never heard of a Wilbur. "W-who?" Tommy mumbled. Another very tall figure walked over, "The ambulance is on its way." Tommy gasped, who was hurt? "Who's sick?.." he asked, his speech slurred. Wilbur placed hands over his face, his eyes were leaking. "Is it...Wil..mur? His eyes are leaking." The woman's eyes leaked too, maybe things like that just happened. "I'm Wilbur!" The man cried out, Tommy flinched.

Tommy heard noises, and then he was in a big car. He passed out again, then he was in a bed and his head hurt. A lot. Tommy didn't know why, but his heart raced in this place. He was afraid of something. Whenever people walked past him he flinched. He saw Wilbur talking to a kind woman, he heard his name being spoken. And he sounded angry, he talked about lawyers, and Tommy. The doctor woman walked over to him, "Hello? Tommy? I'm doctor Puffy, do you remember me?" Tommy's eyes glowed, he did! "Puffy...Puffy! Yes I do!" Puffy beamed. "Great! Hello Tommy." She was happy. Wilbur wasn't. "If he remembers you, why doesn't he remember me!" He cried. Niki told him what crying was, he remembered Niki. Wilbur cried a lot, Tommy learned quickly. Puffy hugged him, "It's okay Wilbur. It just takes time sometimes. Tell him stories, things he would remember. He'll remember eventually. Tommy tilted his head in confusion, should i remember?

As Wilbur slept on the small chair next to Tommy's bed, he was awoken by screaming again.
