The next morning
Today is the day I'll talk to Thomas about Jack after school. I was making breakfast when Thomas sprinted into the kitchen.
Kelly: morning kiddo
Thomas: morning
Kelly: what have I told you about running in the house?
Thomas: sorry
Kelly: go get your sister for me
He ran to the stairs
Thomas: kee breakfast!
I just chuckled. He ran back into the kitchen and sat at the island
Kelly: seriously kid. I could have done that
Thomas: but you didn't
Kiara walked into the kitchen and sat down next to Thomas
Kiara: morning
Kelly: morning princess
Thomas: where's Shay?
Kelly: she got called in
Thomas: does that mean you have to go too?
Kelly: not until later. I'll drop you two off to school then I'll go in
We were eating breakfast and I noticed that Thomas was having a hard time sitting still. We finished breakfast and Thomas was about to run upstairs
Kelly: Wait. Come back
Thomas: please can I not take it. I don't like it. I'll take the seizure ones.
Kelly: if you don't take the Ritalin your gonna really struggle today.

Thomas pov
I really hate taking the Ritalin. It makes me feel empty and like a robot.
Thomas: fine
He gave me the seizure one first and I took it. Now for the Ritalin. I put it in my mouth and pretended to swallow it. Lucky for me Kiara came running in asking for help with her shoes. I went to the bin and spat it out.
Kelly: right go get ready we're leaving in 20 minutes
I went on got ready. I put on a grey Nike tracksuit with my grey dunks. I put cream in my hair as it's curly.
Kelly: Thomas come on
I sprinted down the stairs.
Kelly: calm down
Thomas: sorry
Kelly: you got everything?
Thomas: not sure wait
I checked my pockets and noticed I didn't have my AirPods.
Thomas: I'll be back
I ran back upstairs and got my AirPods
Thomas: let's go
I ran out to the car and jumped in. I shouted over to Kelly and Kee
Thomas: hurry up
They got in the car and we made our way to Kees school first.
Thomas: bye kee
Kiara: bye Tommy
Uncle kelly walked Kiara in and I waited in the car. I got bored and started wondering around. I found a tree. I took my shoes off and started climbing it. I got halfway when I heard uncle Kelly's voice
Kelly: Thomas get down now!
I jumped out of the tree and landed infront of Uncle Kelly. He handed me my shoes and we walked to the car. I sat down and put my shoes on
Kelly: what the hell were you thinking?
Thomas: I'm sorry.
Kelly: you can't just wander off like that
Thomas: sorry
Kelly: it's okay. What time do you finish?
Thomas: erm 11:30
Kelly: okay I'm not sure if I'll be able to pick you up. If not it could possibly be Jay
Thomas: okay
We made our way to school
Kelly: right no trouble
Thomas: I'll try
Kelly: that's all I ask. See ya kid
Thomas: bye. Be safe
Kelly: always
I got out the car and went inside.
Mr Richards: Gibson
Thomas: sir
Mr Richards: your report
Thomas: thanks
Mr Richards: what lesson have you got?
Thomas: er Science with Mr Mead I think
Mr Richards: I'll walk you
Thomas: okay
We walked to science and Mr Richards left. I gave Mr Mead my report and sat down next to Diego. I was zoned out for most of the lesson. I walked over to the window and just watched all the cars go past
Mr Mead: Thomas sit down.
I started walking around
Mr Mead: Thomas I'm not gonna tell you again. Sit down
I went and sat down and was just talking to Diego. We got handed some worksheets and I just made them into paper planes and threw them across the class. I started fidgeting with my pen and it ended up going flying across the room hitting Mr Mead in the head. Everyone started laughing.
Mr Mead turned around and he looked ready to kill
Mr Mead: who did that?
Thomas: ah shit
Hanna: it was Thomas sir
Thomas: you fucking snitch. I didn't mean too
Mr Mead: principals office now
Thomas: fucking bullshit
He did my report and gave it to me. I walked out the class and walked out of school. I reached the doors when someone called my name
Mr Richards: Thomas Gibson!
Thomas: Fuck off

On the way to the firehouse my phone started ringing. Uncle Kelly
Thomas: hello
Kelly: where are you?
Thomas: erm at school?
Kelly: don't bullshit me Thomas. Your school have just rang me telling me you walked out and about what happened in science. You got anything to say for yourself?
Thomas: you said they already told you what happened so what do you care what I have to say?
Kelly: come to the firehouse now!
Thomas: I was on my way anyway
Kelly: I'm not in the mood for your bullshit Thomas
Thomas: whatever
Kelly: you got 20 minutes to get here
Thomas: okay
I took the long way to the firehouse and uncle kelly was no where to be seen. I walked to the squad table
Capp: hey doofus
Thomas: hey dumbass
Capp: heads up your uncles pissed
Thomas: thanks
I ran through the firehouse and went to see Casey
Casey: hey kiddo
Thomas: hi
Casey: you okay?
Thomas: Uncle Kelly's pissed at me. He hates me.
Casey: I'm sure he doesn't
Thomas: all I do is cause problems
Casey: just talk to him
I just nodded
Thomas: do you know where he is?
Casey: try his quarters if not then bodens office
Thomas: okay
I went to his quarters and I could see he was at his desk doing some work. I knocked on the door and opened it. He didn't turn around
Thomas: I'm sorry
Kelly: let me see your report
I gave it to him and he looked so disappointed.
1) stay in class- don't walk out or get sent out
2) no swearing
3) no disrupting
4) listen to all instructions
5) Complete all work to best ability
Comment: was just watching traffic out the window. Not following instructions. Throwing paper planes around the room. Threw a pen at my head. Very fidgety and not focused. Swearing at me and another student. Sent to the principals office
Kelly: you were doing so well in school. You were improving and now we're going downhill again.
Thomas: I'm sorry
Kelly: you keep saying your sorry but you don't do anything to change it.
Thomas: I tried. I really am sorry.
Kelly: No you didn't. No you're not. You can't keep using that as an excuse. You didn't try. Why the hell cant you just be normal?
Thomas: you know what fuck you?
He stepped towards me and I flinched and took a step back. He realised and his face softened
Thomas: whatever. I fucking hate you.
Kelly: Thomas
I ran out the firehouse and ran home and shut myself in my room. I got angry and smashed up my whole room. I threw all my clothes onto the floor. I ripped all the posters off my wall. I just threw anything in sight. I sunk to the floor leaving against the door. I was just crying until I heard someone knock on the door
Shay: hey T it's me. Can you open the door?
Thomas: go away
Shay: I'm not leaving until you open the door. Talk to me T
Thomas: fuck off shay. Just leave me alone
Shay: the only way I'd leave is after you've spoke to me. What's going on?
After a few minutes i opened the door. Shay walked in and looked at the mess i made.
Shay: you wanna talk about it?
I just shook my head. She sat beside me on the floor
Shay: talk to me kiddo
Thomas: I mess everything up. Uncle Kelly hates me. All I do is cause trouble.
I just broke down so shay pulled me into a side hug
Shay: he's just not had a good day that's all. He didn't mean to snap at you and I'm sure he doesn't hate you.
how about you go and sleep in Kelly's bed and I'll clean up in here
I just walked to Kelly's room and slept in his bed.
