How time flies

Uh oh..

The following day he got a billion messages from Joey asking for Tom's address.

As Tom looked over at the time he groaned annoyed as he answered joey.

Smirnoff344- you know it's only 8:30 right? I haven't worked out or eaten yet.

Jazzy804- Uhg you can skip one leg day!!
Jazzy804- I wanna come overrrr

Smirnoff344- I haven't eaten yet joey.

Jazzy804- Oh! I'll bring breakfast! I'm already on the way to get paul and pat!

Tom face went pale as he read the last message and groaned annoyed
 
Smirnoff344- great... the address is ****** ***** ************* ****

Jazzy804- thank youuu!!!

Tom sighed as he got changed and fixed up his couch and shut his bedroom door as he went to the bathroom and cleaned it real fast and hid all the pills under the sink and shut the bathroom door.
Tom flopped on the couch, wearing his blue hoodie and basic black jeans and black socks.
Tom let himself sink into the couch as he scrolled through tiktok to distract himself while he waited.

As Tom began to forget and relax, the doorbell went off.
Tom slowly rose from the comfort of his couch and made his way to the door.

Tom let out a heavy sigh and opened the door to instantly hear the yelling of joey. "Morning tom!" Joey said, shoving his way in holding boxes of donuts and pat came skipping in with trays of coffee.
Paul then pulled Tom out the door causing Tom's heart to drop as paul slammed the door behind tom.

"I think you need to do some talking now..Thomas Ridgewell.." Paul said coldly, crossing his arms.

Tom was too scared to say anything with Paul saying his whole name.
Like when your mom calls you by your whole name.

"So you are tord old friend...you're also the one that shot him down from the sky.."
All Tom could manage was a small nod as Paul glared.
Tom guessed Paul saw Tom's fear in the conversation and let out a heavy sigh.
"Tom, I'm not mad at you. You did the right thing..well a little but tord needed someone to show him he cant get away with everything. And i can see that you have been struggling from it as well and i can see your fixing yourself but..he's also been going through things now and he started to change for the better but he soon was filled with anger and is getting worse..and...i need you to fix him again..i miss my little boy tom.. And i know you miss your tord that you knew.." tom eyes widened when paul began to cry and tom suddenly realized why paul came to him.
Tom hugged Paul and Paul slowly hugged back and cried on Tom's shoulder.
"Please...please bring my boy back.."
Tom sighed.. "I'll try my best paul.. But i need you to get me in the office at the base and joey..i can't do anything without joey and you and pat.. You're all I got.."
"What about edd and matt?"
Tom went quiet and Paul seemed to take the hint.
"Okay I can do that."
"Thanks." tom said breaking the hug
"No i thank you..now let's eat." Paul said, wiping his face trying to smile a little.

Tom patted his shoulder trying to be comforting
Tom heard Joey yell from the other side of the door for them to come back in.
As Paul reached for the door, Tom stopped him "does pat know i know him..?"
Paul nodded yes and entered the room and Tom followed.

As tom flopped down into bed worn out from playing so much mario kart and getting his butt beat, his phone chimed and he pulled it out reading the message from paul

Grumpy101- don't ask about the name, pat did it. Anyways I got you and Joey in. you will         be working in the main office. I set it up that way because whenever you're done with a            section of paperwork you turn it into the boss. Aka tord. Joey will be working on unloading since he's good at it down stairs so you two and still talk on break and visit one another because the paper work from there will be delivered to you for you to work  out then take to tord to get signed off by him. Sound good?

Smirnoff344- sounds great. Where is the base located exactly since i gotta drive there.

Grumpy101- oh right it's ******* ***** **** *********.

Smirnoff344- thanks
Grumpy101- see you at 2:30

Smirnoff344- ya, see ya

Grumpy101- one more thing! You will be the leader of the office department and Joey will be the leader of the storage. And don't worry, I told joey. Well I told him you two were being moved because you two were good at the job and are the leaders because you two  are so good and he's over the moon. Plus I'll meet you two in the parking lot and show you around and get you your outfits and badges there.

Smirnoff344- got it. Good night.

Grumpy101- yup, night.

Tom sighed as he shut off his phone and sleepily set it on the nightstand next to his bed as he stared at the ceiling processing what was happening and what he was gonna have to do tomorrow.
^ man and this is all happening because i just wanted to get a jobbb...now i gotta deal with grumpy, mean, new tord...uhgg^ tom thought as he covered his head with a pillow drifting to sleep.
