Tommy's POV:

When we got to Phil's, Techno once again carried all the boxes into the house. And then at Phil's request, up to my room. It was at that moment it set in. Set in that Chris couldn't look after me the entire time. That I was living with new people, in a new house.

"Hey Tommy, can you hear me?" I looked up at Techno and hummed lightly. "I know it's all new and confusing, do you want to go talk to Phil?" I nodded. "Come on then." I followed behind him as we walked down the stairs.

"Hey mate." He was talking to Techno, I was kind of hidden behind him.

"Tommy's a little worried, I was thinking we could talk?"

"Of course we can, Tommy do you want Techno to stay?" I nodded again, everything was just finally setting in. Hitting me in one go. It was overwhelming and I didn't know how to cope. Phil sat down at the dining table and I sat opposite him, Techno sitting next to me. "What do you want to talk about Tommy?"

"Can we sort out a new routine?" I mumbled.

"Of course we can, why don't we do it right now?" I nodded as Phil got some paper and a pen.

Techno turned to me and spoke softly, "I promise you'll get used to it. Everything is really bad at first and then everyday it gets easier."

"Can I ask you a question?" He nodded. "The new routine, it's not weird is it?"

"No, if it means that you aren't going to be as overwhelmed and can get used to living with us quicker, Dad, sorry Phil, will do anything. I promise, nothing is going to be an issue."

"Okay, let's start with the morning," Phil mumbled, sitting back down with one of those old people noises. "What time do you want to wake up Tommy?"

"When do I leave the house for school?"

"Oh let me think. At the moment, Wilbur and you will leave the house at 7:30. When you change schools, it will be 8 o'clock."

"Wake up at 6:30 for now. But can I wake up at 7 when I change schools?"

"Yea that makes sense." He scribbled things down on the piece of paper. "I'll get all the timings down and then make a proper schedule on the computer later." I just nodded. "So both your schools are going to finish at 3:15, Wilbur should be there around 3:20, so you don't have to leave straight away, you'll miss most of the noisy kids, alright?"

"Can I ask a question?"

"You can just ask your questions Tommy, you don't have to ask to ask a question." Techno added.

"O-okay. Can I start the new school?"

"What? Just leave your old one?"

"Well I'd like to go back for a day, so I can say goodbye to everything."

"Everyone, you mean?" Techno questioned.

"Oh, I don't have any friends there and the teachers barely know I exist. I just want to have one last day so I can process that I won't see it again."

"Well then, yea I'll get it sorted. I'll phone your new school, and ask if we can move it forward. You might still have to have a few days in between though."

"Days off school?" Phil nodded. "Yea that's okay."

"Don't tell Wilbur, he might faint with excitement." Techno laughed.

"Okay so when do you want to eat dinner every night?"

"When do you normally?" I asked, not wanting to be difficult.
