Little Mr Perfect

good and bad day

A few days later Rotxo is coming home, they hold a small celebration for him being released. The Sullys are there aswell, they eat some cake and are just happy to have their friend back at home.
“I …don’t wanna ruin the mood but where am I going now?...”. Tonowari and Ronal look at each other and Ronal smiles softly at him “Come we gotta show you something”, she gets up, same as Tonowari, they’ve worked on redecorating one of the two guest bedrooms to make it fit Rotxo over the past three days, well mostly Tonowari and the Kids worked on it. “About your question, you’ll stay here with us… This is your room from now on. Tonowari. Aonung and Tsireya did most of the work I hope you like it, you can change it however you want”. She kissen his temple as he tears up, Tonowari hands him a gift box “Go on open it”, Rotxo and Ronal sit down on the bed and the others gather around to see his reaction, he opens it and instantly bursts out crying and hugs Ronal” thank you…”,he managed through sobs, she hugs back ” Youre welcome, it’s all over now, no more jumping from place to place, no more getting hurt, you are safe here”.he just nods and the rest of the Paoras join the hug.
They eat dinner together and the Sullys head back home at about 8:30, Lo’ak and Neteyam are still grounded and stuck with more chores, Neteyam got even more quiet over these days fully focusing on schoolwork and skipping meals more offen.

At school he gets praised a lot by his teachers but his classmates are unimpressed. He notices how he’s falling back into old habbits like scratching his wrist raw when he’s feeling uncomfortable for example and sleeping even less. He keeps going and going getting one good grade after another finally satisfying Jake. He’s getting skinner everyday from skipping meals.

Now in class they are writing a history test. He didn’t sleep well during the night so his mind went blank even when her studied so much for the test. His leg starts bouncing up and down while he’s trying to hold it together and get atleast some answers right, he feels nauseus and eventually there’s the point where he gives up and bolts out of the classroom after putting the blank paper down on his teachers desk.

Neteyam just ran all the way up to the roof of the school and just breaks down there. His face feeling tingly from him hyperventilating, he manages to get his phone out and calls Norm “Hey buddy what’s up?”. “Uncle… Norm… “. “Tey what’s wrong? Hey you have to calm down or you’ll pass out, take er deep breath hold it and then release”. “I l…can’t”.“Yes you can it’s ok come on deep breath in… hold…. Release”. It takes several tries till Belegen gets his breathing under control “You think you can tell me now what this is about”.“We had a… history… test an…und I couldn’t …fi… fill out anything… he’ll be so disappointed…””Buddy it’s going to be ok, that’s one failed test out of I don’t know how mangstraight A tests”. Norm manages to calm him down and they end the call.

eteyam gets up and walks towards the edge of the root. His mind racing. What if he just jumped?

Would they miss him? Would anyone even bother? He sure would traumatise others. Could be do that to his siblings? Dad wouldn't care right? Yes? No? Go on just do it:

he gets pulled back by someone “What the Fuck Sully!!”. He tries to fight off the person “Hey stop….STOP IT!”. His arms get pinned down and he starts to realise who it is “Ao’nung?...” he whispers “Yes it’s me dipshit… What the fuck where you thinking?! Why would you do that?!”, “Because Im a fuck up…”,” You aren’t “ “Yes! I am. I can’t keep Lo’ak out of trouble or help Kiri through rough patches… Can’t get straight As… I’m Just a disappointment for my family… “” You are so wrong, you are then smartest person I know, Loak and Kiri are old enough to deal with it on their own and don’t need a babysitter, your dad needs to learn that, everyone messes up once in a while”, Aonung looks at Neteyam ” I mean it Neteyam …come on let’s skip the rest of the day, you look like you need sleep and I don’t wart you to be alone right now”. “No I’ll get in trouble… also I’m still grounded… “” Fuck that come on”.

He lets Neteyam collect his things and leads him to a dark blue Fiat, he is using his dads car today. Neteyam falls asleep halfway home, being exhausted from everything. Aonung picks him up and carries him inside, noticing how light the dark skinned teen is.” What are

you doing here already?”, Tonowari looks at them “He had a rough day… so im letting him rest here” “Ok, I’ll let Jake know”.” Could you not please? Atleast not yet”. “Alright”. Aonung lays Neteyam down on his bed, he makes sure Neteyam gets enough rest.

He just chills on the ground infront of his bed scrolling through his phone after texting Lo'ak that he left early with Neteyam. Tonowari made a late lunch around 1pm so Neteyam slept a total of 3 hours, he woke up shortly before the food is done. He just pokes around in the food talking an bite here und then. “Do you not like it? I can make something else if you want”,Tonowari offers, Neteyam looks at him “Ah… no it tastes great… I’m not really hungry”. “Ok but don’t hesitate to ask for something else ok”.”Got it”.

He likes Tonowari, just the way he acts and cares about his family, how he checks in to see if his kids are ok or need help with anything” “Wanna watch a movie? Maybe it’ll cheer you up a little?”. “Sure”, they end up watching how to train your dragon. At around 4 pm Tsireya returns and heads to her brothers room “ Net… you have to go home you’re daf told me to tell you”.”O-ok, thank you… thank you Ao’nung”.”Ofcourse and please if you feel like that again call me”. He nods und goes home” Care to explain me why you were skipping School?”.”I… wasn’t feeling well so Ao’nung offered to take me to his home so l don’t bother you””… fine”. He sighs and goes to help Tuk with her homework “Thank you Tey”.” No problem Tuk Tuk”.She hugs him smiling brightly. Neteyam returns the smile.” Bro you ok? Ao’nung texted me to keep an eye on you ”.” It’s nothing I’m ok… “”Bro… You’re lying”.” Am not now get the Fuck out of my room!”” You don’t snap at someone unless something is wrong, so spill it”.”It’s non of your fucking businesses. Get out! “, he shoves His little brother at of his room locking the door. Lo’ak huffs annoyed but leaves to his own room.
