{Tommy's POV}
    I wake up in my bedroom lying on my bed, I begin to ask myself questions. 'When did I get here?' My head is throbbing, I can't remember a thing. 'Why can't I remember what had happened?' I start to feel dizzy and lightheaded trying to remember.
    Then it all comes back to me, I got into a fight with those boys again. Fuck, who carried me here? My mind begins to feel hazy and then I zone out.

[Flashback]

   I felt a harsh punch to the face, and another. My nose started to bleed, I took another punch to the face and suddenly, everything went dark.

"Run! Quick before we get caught!" One of the boys blurted while all three of them fled to the bathroom door.
"What is going on here?!" A teacher questioned one of the boys that he had saw running out of the bathroom. The three boys continued zooming down the halls "Hey!" The teacher yelled again.

The teacher raced into the bathroom to see a boy lying on the floor in a small puddle of blood. He stopped in his tracks and called for help. Soon enough, another teacher came rushing into the bathroom and gasped at the sight of the little boy on the floor.
One of the teachers walked over to the boy and gently picked him up, slightly cringing at the sight of his blood.

She carried the boy down the empty halls and into the nurses office, then placed him on one of the beds. She picked up the phone and dialed his father. "Hello Mr. Phil? Your son Tom has gotten into a fight and was lying on the bathroom floor, luckily we got to him soon enough and carried him to the nurses office. Please come quick." She hung up the phone.

[Flashback ended]

I had stopped zoning out and pulled the covers off me, feeling a cool breeze wash over my face as I stood up. I felt as if I were about to pass out, I sat back down until the feeling went away.

{Time skip}

It is now 5:00 pm, it's probably dinner time so I stood up from bed and walked to my bedroom door. I hovered my hand over the metal door knob and thought to myself, "Is it really worth it? Going downstairs and eating a whole fucking meal? What's the point?"

I let my arm fall to the side, then I tiptoe back to my bed. I flop onto my pillow, pull the cover atop of me and let myself drift off into a deep sleep.
