-Tom's Back Story-

"Мама?" I said confused. I was standing in front of a nice four-story-looking house. People were standing outside looking at us. Some looked sad and some had no emotion. She picked me up and began walking towards the house. I grabbed the light blue fabric of my mother's dress and held on tightly as she walked up the concrete stairs to the red brick and white marble mansion. I felt her stop for a while so I assumed that we made it up the many stairs. But then I heard mother, "Спасибо тебе за все." "Без проблем. Я позабочусь о том, чтобы он был в безопасности." The random man in a suit said. I felt a tap on my back I flinched and turned around. "Hey, Thomas right?" He said in his thick Russian accent. I nodded at the man and turned around quickly putting my head in my mother's neck. I heard my mother chuckle and say softly, "Томас... Все в порядке. Он мой старый друг и позаботится о тебе и твоих братьях и сестрах, пока меня нет. Я вернусь как можно скорее." I turned my head and looked at my mother. I smiled and decided to wave to the random man while saying quietly, "Привет, случайный человек." He waved back and said, "Ah~ so you know Russian? Your mother has taught you well." I slightly let go of my mother's dress and mumbled, "Спасибо..." The man chuckled and went back to talking to my mom.

"Я покажу ему его комнату. Вы делаете все, что вам нужно. Давай поговорим позже." Mama nodded and placed me down on the floor. "I'll get your stuff." I smiled and nodded waiting for her to get Tommie bear. The more I sat there the more I started looking at the man. He was a pale-skinned man with down brown hair and no eyes. Like me and Mama! I giggled to myself and said, "You look like me and Mama!"  The man turned to me and replied, "Probably because me and your mother had the same parents!" I looked at him confused until it clicked. "Your siblings!?" He laughed and nodded bending down to my level then pat me on my head. "You have a cousin too. He'd love you." I smiled and started jumping up and down. I was excited, to say the least. I get to stay in a big mansion with my siblings and a newfound cousin! He smiled but he looked nervous. I then looked downstairs and saw Mama coming back up with my two other siblings who looked displeased. I was confused about why they seemed upset but Mama gave me my teddy and my suitcase so I didn't have time to think about it. She then looked at me for a second before pecking me on the cheek. "Я люблю тебя, Томас. помните, что" She says calmly. 

I smiled and replied, "Я тоже тебя люблю, мама!" She then walked away kissing my other siblings and then leaving. I grabbed my stuff and tried bringing it inside but it was too heavy for me. My Uncle picked up the stuff and brought it inside saving me time and energy. I followed him inside and was amazed to see the interior of the house. Marble floors, marble pillars, black couches, and many marble stairs! I started running around the house happily with Tommie Bear and began running upstairs. I heard my sister call me down but I was too excited. I kept running into random rooms to count how many there were. However, it was kind of pointless because I don't know how to count. Fun nonetheless! I kept skipping and skipping around the house with many, many rooms and saw one that interested me enough. So I went inside. It was very pretty! Lots of pastel blue and white along with more marble. As I kept looking I saw a lady where a long white dress looking right at me confused. I smiled and said, "Hello!" She smiled back and said, "See, he seems nice right Jon?" I looked at the lady confused and was about to ask who she was talking to until she moved her flowy dress to reveal a very shy kid with a suit on. My confusion was replaced with more excitement. 

I think she could tell because she said, "You can come over! I'm sure you two will get along fine!" I smiled and ran over to the kid, "Hello! I'm Thomas but you can call me Tom for short!" The kid nodded but looked down nervously. I shrugged and grabbed his hand. He flinched but I didn't mind, I can be a little too bold at times when making new friends. "OH, can we explore this big mansion please!" I yelled, "U-uh...sure...I'll show you around..." He replied. I smiled and began walking out of the room into the corridor with my new friend! He pointed to stuff and said the names of said rooms. I didn't realize that rooms had a specific purpose. Apparently, a bedroom can be a guest room, office, room, and executive room! Kind of odd but that's okay! As we were walking around we made it to the fourth floor. It had a skylight! But instead of me dragging him he dragged me. I looked at him confused but saw a small smile on his face and I instantly didn't care anymore. Just as long as he was happy I was happy! He dragged me all the way to the middle of the hallway and put me in front of a very tall white door. "Wow! A door! Thank you!" I said trying not to hurt his feelings. He giggled and pushed the doors open to reveal a room. A big room. A big room with stairs! I gasped and ran inside looking around. It was really nice! There was a living room with a TV and a big bathroom, and the bedroom was upstairs! It had a lot of toys and stuff!

I wanted to tell Mama but she wasn't here at the moment. I wanted to jump on the bed but this wasn't my room. That was until he said, "This is all yours! Do what you want!" I giggled and jumped on my checkered-covered bed. I laid down flat on my back and looked at the ceiling. It had little glow-in-the-dark star stickers on it. I smiled and sat only to see Jon staring at me smiling. I looked back at him and said, "You should join me! I wanna spend as much time with you as possible!" He nodded and joined me on the bed. He laid down and said, "Wow, this is actually really soft!" I giggled and said, "It is!" I lay down beside him and asked, "When is Mama coming back?" He looked at me, frown gone, then stated with an Awkward smile, "Soon maybe!" I nodded and stayed still looking up at the ceiling, "I'll wait!"

Jon then looked at me and said, "Хорошо, Томас..."


Present Day


Alarm beeping, TV noise coming from downstairs, Tord's stupid experiments going on, and my personal favorite...Matt trying to cook breakfast burnt smell because Edd is either still sleeping or left early for work. Either way, it's bad. I sighed and sat up miserable with my gray ASDF shirt and mumbled, "Я уже могу сказать, что это будет дерьмовое утро..." I looked at the time and it read 8:26 AM. It isn't even 9:00 and somehow it's already chaos. New record. I got out of bed and just put on some black pants and my classic dark blue, alcohol-stained hoodie. I hesitated to open my door, trying to get myself prepared for what was going to be thrown at me. But of course, when I opened the door, holes in the wall, chemicals everywhere, black smoke coming from the kitchen, and screaming from downstairs. I wanted to retreat to my room but I wasn't able to. I rolled my void-like eyes and began walking into the nightmare of the kitchen. I looked at the scene and saw Matt and Tord trying to stop the fire, "MATT YOU IDIOT-" "DON'T YELL AT ME-" Tord rolled his eyes but quickly found the sink he had recognized and seen for five years. He turned it on and threw the pan in. Which made it Ten Times worse. As fun as it was watching them suffer and panic I lived here too and didn't want my things being burned. So I walked to the corner of the kitchen and grabbed the fire extinguisher. "Двигаться" I then sprayed the pan and the fire went away. I heard relieved sighs then decided to leave before anyone had the process to hear what I just said. I don't actually mean to speak Russian sometimes it just slips up. 

"Actually, Thomas, what did you say?" I heard a deep Norwegian accent say. I groaned in annoyance and said, "None of your fucking business." I then continued walking but he didn't like that answer. So he walked in front of me and said, "Thomas, my love~ you can tell us anything." I tried so hard to ignore him but he's always pushing my buttons. He looked at me and started to speak his native language which I didn't understand. I don't know why but when he speaks his language I feel like he's either talking shit about me or flirting. Either one makes me angry. I guess I can't really talk because I do the same thing...but at least I repeat myself whether it's rude or not. "Thomas~" "Tord! If Tim doesn't want to talk about it he doesn't want to talk about it!" Matt intervened. I wanted to give him a hug but I'm not one for receiving it or giving it. So I gave a small smile instead. He smiled back and patted me on the head going back into the kitchen. I then looked at Tord and groaned. He was giving me that stupid glare he uses when he doesn't get what he wants. I took a deep breath and then asked, "Alright you caught me...now what?" He smiled and asked, "So...Russian? Who taught you that?" "My mom..." I mumbled. He raised his brows, furrowed them, and then stopped talking.

Tord was fully aware that my mom left me and my siblings. She just left. My uncle doesn't even know where she is and he helped her leave. It was kind of weird when you think about it. Then it just turned into a domino effect. My sister left, then my brother, then my uncle and his wife, then my cousin who I'm only now getting back in touch with. Tord looked at me and said, "Sorry Thomas." I cringed and said, "What did I just say last time you tried to apologize to me?" "Not to do it?" "Not to do it." He smiled and said, "Classic stupid Tom! So stubborn-." I smiled back and said, "That's more like it." He poked my cheek and said, "Welp! This is the best I'm gonna get outta you." 

I smiled and replied,

"Eh, Expect a little more in the future."
