Then Where Is Home?

Chapter 37

Tw for this chapter: Past suicide in detail, past death, suicidal ideation, mental breakdown, thoughts of death of others (idk if that makes sense unless you read it fully-)

"I just don't know what happened Puffy, he said he'd be home at 6pm, it's now 2am and he's still not here." Tommy said as he paced around the living room. Puffy had come over after Tommy had called her.

"I know Tommy, I'm trying to figure stuff out okay?" Puffy said as she dialed another number on her phone. She had been calling people for the past hour.

Techno and Wilbur had decided that they were going to drive the route Phil would have taken, at least to the edge of town to see if anything had happened by the time Phil should have reached town.

Tommy's phone started ringing from where he left it next to Puffy. Puffy picked it up and looked confused by the caller id, handing it to Tommy without saying anything. Looking at the caller id confused Tommy too, it was Ponk?

"Hello?" Tommy asked once he answered it.

"Hey Tommy, it's Ponk. I know it's late, so sorry if I woke you up." Ponk said, but Tommy already knew that. He had gotten both Sam and Ponk's numbers at his birthday party.

"Yeah I know, and I wasn't asleep. What's up?" Tommy asked.

"I was just calling because I had sent Phil those videos earlier and said if you guys wanted the notes from his phone to text or call me, but no one answered. So I thought I would just check in, and I know you're usually up pretty late." Ponk explained.

"Sorry, what videos? When did you send something to Phil?" Tommy asked and Puffy seemed confused by this.

"Oh, did Phil not share them? I had texted Phil earlier about it. Liam had left some videos for people before he died, and he had some notes on his phone. I had sent Phil the videos Liam had left for you guys." Ponk explained.

"Did Phil say anything back?" Tommy asked.

"Uh yeah, I sent them to him at like 7pm, he said thanks and I said there was just some general notes that Liam talked about you guys too, and I offered to send them to him but he never responded." Ponk explained further. Tommy felt his heart beat faster.

"Can you send all those things to me?"

Phil was at a rest stop when he got a text on his phone. He at first assumed that it was the boys, most likely asking if he would be willing to stop for something on his way home, even though he was already running a bit late. At this point he wouldn't make it home till 8 almost 9pm. But when he looked at his phone he saw it was Ponk.

He hadn't talked to Ponk since Sam's death, so it was weird to him that Ponk was texting. Phil got back into his car and opened up the text from Ponk.

"Hey Phil, Sam had gotten Liam's phone after Liam passed away. He had it on him when he passed, so it was water logged and damaged. I managed to transfer the sim card and I finally figured out the password. There was some videos Liam recorded for people, before he passed away. I just thought I'd send you the ones that he left for you four." And attached were five videos.

Phil took a deep breath before clicking on the first one.

"This is for Wilbur." Liam started but Phil paused the video. He didn't feel right watching the videos meant for the boys without them. He clicked on the next one. "This is for Tommy." And he repeated the process of stopping it and going to the next one. "This is for Techno."

"God fuck." Phil cursed, frustrated at the fact that he had to go through three other videos before his own.

"This is for Phil. Hi Phil." The video started. Phil took a deep breath, and not wanting to truly look at Liam's face he put the phone down on the console, buckling his seatbelt and putting his key in the ignition.
