Beat It - Michael Jackson
Tubbo's POV
Caroline and I were running outside in the rain. Tommy was tackling Izzy to the ground. Jack was filming us just fucking around. Will had driven somewhere and said he'd be back in a few hours. I was just trying not to slip in the mud while chasing Caroline.
A pit formed in my stomach when I heard Will's car pull up. I felt a chill run along my body and it wasn't because of the rain. I heard another car pull up behind it which just made the feeling increase tenfold.
Everyone paused, looking toward the cars. Phil and Kristen ran up to the overhang of the house, but the feeling never dissipated like I hoped it would. I knew what was happening, knew what was about to go down.
"Care, why don't you go inside with Jack to get towels." I said, grabbing her arm gently. Her eyes were stuck on the windshield of the car, my voice not even being registered to her.
"We're not going to be a dick, are we?" Will asked. That's when everything was confirmed for me. Ranboo stepped out of the passenger side and I smiled softly. Yeah, tensions were high, but he was still my best friend like it or not.
"The fuck are you doing here?" Tommy asked through a clenched jaw.
"I want-"
"I don't give a fuck what you want!" Tommy screamed. Izzy took a step back. Jack walked over and pulled her under the overhang with him, pulling Caroline with him.
"Just hear me out, Tommy!"
"No! Why should I?!" He yelled. I saw Izzy put her hands over her ears and Will was eyeing her with concern.
"Phil, take everyone inside while I handle the boys." Will said, his anger seething.
"Toby, come on." Phil yelled. Kristen took the girls inside and Jack walked in behind them.
"No, Tom's really not gonna handle this well and he's already told will to fuck off in a scenario like this before." I said with a nervous laugh. Phil nodded when I glanced at him and leaned against the door.
"You don't know fucking shit Tommy! You just push and assume and you hear what you want to hear! You don't give a fuck about my side but you just pin me as the damn bad guy!" Ranboo yelled. Tommy's fists were clenched and goosebumps were all over his body.
"Fuck off and go home!" Tommy screamed. Ranboo moved and slammed the car door behind him.
"No!" He yelled.
Tom apparently took that as an invitation to just walk up and punch the guy. Because that's exactly what he did.
"Fuck!" He yelled, pulling his hand back and looking at his knuckled. "Jesus, man! You have a strong fucking jaw!"
"Yeah, could've told you that before you tested it out on your own." Ranboo sad, gripping his jaw.
"boys-"
"You know what, you're acting like damn children! Yeah Tom, Ranboo fucked up but at the end of the day it isn't any of your business! You are not Xavier and you are not Asterin! You have let this entire situation fuck with almost every relationship in your life and I'm done with it! Go inside and have Izzy patch up your damn hand! You can sit in the damn living room when you're bloody done!"
"And you! You don't just get to show up and expect everyone's approval! Especially out of nowhere! Caroline and Izzy know you have hurt their best friend! Tommy has made his opinions very god damn clear about you! I have made my opinions on this alone very clear! Xavier you can't just go searching for everything you had in Asterin in everyone else! And you really can't just show up unannounced and think you can project onto others! Go inside and sit on the damn couch and then maybe ask if you can explain your side and have people hear you out!"
Ranboo and Tommy looked at me like I was absolutely crazy, but I was far from it right now. "Go!" I screamed again. They both nodded, walking inside quickly. I kicked a rock next to my shoe and sighed.
"Didn't think you had that in you, Toby." Will said, a small but proud smile on his face.
"I'm tired of everyone just not thinking about how they effect everyone else. I'm tired of being the one to put everyone back together." I shrugged, walking inside with my hands in my jacket pocket.
When I walked in, I stood on the towel and Caroline wrapped a towel around my shoulders.
"You really got them, Tobs." Caroline smiled at me. I smiled back, my anger barely lingering as I looked at her. her wet hair dripping down her back as she was now in new clothes consisting of my hoodie and a pair of Izzy's shorts.
"I really did, huh." I said with a small smile. She nodded and I pulled her body into mine. I kissed the top of her head and felt myself mellow out completely.
"Are you guys dating?' Ranboo asked, looking between me and Caroline. I nodded my head with a small smile and he held a small smile on his face.
"Damn, I seriously missed out on a lot." He mumbled under his breath, holding an ice pack to his jaw.
"Stay fucking still you bloody imbecile!" I heard Izzy yell from down the hallway. I laughed softly, tapping Caroline's back softly. She moved back and I slipped my shoes off.
"I'm going to change, I'll be back." I said, running off upstairs so I could change into dry clothes.
"You're hurting me!" Tommy whined loudly.
"You did it to yourself!" Izzy yelled back. I laughed and shook my head.
