Love in Despair ~a Skephalo fanfic~ ✔️

XVII

We step off, immediately being met with crowds of people. I don't like big crowds of people, they make me really anxious. I took a couple deep breaths, feeling Bad's hand latch onto mine, squeezing it lightly. I start to calm down a bit as we walk through the crowds of people ready to congratulate us.

We end up getting split up by the crowd. As I frantically look around for Bad I accidentally bump into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." I apologize quickly before even looking to see who it is. Chances are I don't even know them, unless their my sister... My sister! I made it home! I kept my promise.

"Oh, you're Zak!" The man remarks. He was blond and a little taller then me. "Yup." I confirm raising my eyebrow in confusion. "Thank you so much." He thanks me genuinely. "May I ask what for?" I ask still confused. "For helping Tommy, you did the best you could. We really appreciate it." My heart immediately shattered. I could have done more for him though.

"I still feel terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss." I say sympathetically. "It's not your fault, I shouldn't have let him go for me." A brunet boy spoke up, standing beside the man. He must be Tubbo. "It's not your fault, he made the decision himself." A strawberry blond man spoke up, trying to comfort Tubbo.

"There you guys are, I lost you for a moment. Fundy decided to wander off." A tall brunette man appears behind me. "Oh! You must be Zak!" He greets me with a smile. I hum in confirmation, noding along with a smile. I looked down to see a small red headed child holding the hand of the brunet man. He looks up at me with a smile. "Hello little guy." I greet him with a small wave. He looks up at the brunet holding his hand. "Where's uncle Tommy?" He asks innocently. My breath hitches as I hold back tears. "We aren't going to see him for a long time, buddy." The man says sadly, picking up the child. He looked to be holding back tears, which made my urge to cry even stronger.

I clear my throat. "Uh, I should go find my sister. It was very nice meeting you all, and I am so so sorry about Tommy." I say, giving the older blond a sympathetic look. He gives me a small smile and a nod before I turn around to walk in the other direction. Silent tears started to roll down my cheeks as I walked off, keeping my gaze glued to the ground.
