Tommy mumbled about going to his room the second they walked through the door. Wilbur huffed slightly and Phil frowned. "Don't you want to watch that movie with us? I thought it was your favorite?" Tommy glanced up. They must have talking about movies in the car. "I'm just really tired" Wilbur brushed past him as he set his guitar where it had been that morning. "You slept in all morning. Are you really still hung up on that picture?" Tommy tensed up as the air grew awkward again. "no I'm just not in the mood"

Phil went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water before handing it to Techno who gave it to Tommy. "Not in the mood. I'm tired of your rotten attitude about this. It's just a new picture" Tommy gulped down sown some of his water. "It's not just that" "Then what is it?" Wilbur put his hands on his hip. Tommy struggled to get words out for a moment. It felt like the walls were closing around him. He couldn't breath. Why was this happening? He dropped the glass in his hands and rushed past Wilbur to his room.

Once in his room he curled himself tightly into a ball under his bed. His fingers desperately grasped his stuffed cow. It was all he had left other than the photo in the living room. Soon he wouldn't even have that. His hands were slightly wet and he could see blood on his fingers.

A knock sounded at the door and Tommy squeaked slightly. Footsteps echoed slightly and stopped by his bed. The bed dipped above him and he looked over to see large black boots. "He wasn't close with her. He doesn't really understand how to miss her. We never knew our mother and the foster system taught us to fear yours....She was nice. She encouraged me to dye my hair." Tommy weakly grabbed Techno's boot. The pink haired man slid to the ground and held Tommy's hand in his own, ignoring the blood.

"I remember mornings where I heard you two laughing in the kitchen or seeing you water plants in the sun room. You look just like her sometimes" Tommy cried. "I want my mom. I want my mom" Techno pulled him out from under the bed and held him close. "I know. I do too" They sat on the floor of Tommy's room for ten minutes. Tommy cried into Tech's shoulder as Techno let a few tears slip. " You want to go see the movie?" Tommy nodded.

They made their way to the living room to see Wilbur and Phil arguing. "He's just a kid. He has every right to be upset!" Phil yelled. "He needs to learn that not everything works out how he wants. He needs to move on" Wilbur crossed his arms. Tommy stepped out. "How can I move on with you trying to replace her!? It's not fair how I seem to be the only one upset about this!"
"Grow up! Mom's gone and she's not coming back! You can't change that!" Wilbur yelled. Tommy stopped as Phil gasped. "Wilbur, apologize now. " He couldn't. Wilbur had a shocked face, like he couldn't believe he said that. " Tommy I-" He couldn't finish as Tommy grabbed his coat and raced out the door. "Tommy!"
