Herman dropped his phone on his bed and cried. He couldn't believe he thought they would think he's "cool" or "interesting." Why did he ever let himself believe that? No matter what Tommy said, he would always believe that he was a mistake. If he disappeared no one would care.
His phone buzzed and he looked at it. He read the email and burst into more tears. This bulling was greeting out of hand, but he couldn't do anything about it. Erebus and Mason were the kings at the school, and if he told on them, they'd kill him. He could remember when they had almost killed him, almost punching him to death. He still had a few brushes but he had healed. Herman also couldn't do anything about this cyber bullying; he had no idea who it was. But the emails kept coming from this mysterious creep and they just got worse and worse.
"No more," Herman sobbed and put his phoebe faced down on his bed. "NO MORE PLEASE!"
"Herman. What's going on?"
The skinny kid snapped his head to his door and found Dillian standing in the doorway. The bulky teen's gaming headphones were still on from playing Minecraft. He was panting, probably because running up the stairs so fast.
"Dillian, get out. Leave me alone." Herman snapped and walked toward the door. He started to slam it in his face but the bulky teen stopped him.
"Herman, stop this crap. What's.Going.On?" Dillian panted and walked through the door.
Herman stared breathing heavily. He crunched his hands into fists and shoved the big teen away from him. Dillian took a small step back, not ready for the impact.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Herman screeched and leaned his head on Dillian's chest. "I just want to leave this goddamn...I want Mommy and Daddy back."
Dillian stroked his hand through the boy's pitch black hair and took a deep breath in. "I...I know you miss them Herman, I really do. But now it's just you and me now. You okay with that?"
Herman sniffed and shook his head. "Why did they leave me with you? Why didn't they come back?"
The bulky teen but his lip. "They...abandoned you...Im sorry, I should've told you sooner." He wrapped his arms around the lanky boy and hugged his tightly. "I'm sorry I failed you."
Herman felt Dillian's tears fall on his shoulders. "Dillian, no, you didn't fail me, your just trying to protect me like you have for your entire life."
They stood there for a while, both crying. Then two smaller kids walked from the hallway to the room.
"Oh wait, bad time or-" the young boy started to say.
"Yeah, it is a bad time. What do you want Toby?" Dillian snapped and let go of Herman.
"We...uhh," Toby stared to say before his twin sister cut in.
"It's time for dinner. Dad wants all of us at the table." the girl, Fiona, said and looked at Herman. "That means you too Herman, you're a part of your family, don't forget that."
Dillian smiled at Herman and walked with his younger twins downstairs to the kitchen. Herman was going to catch up, he just needed to wash off his face. He walked over to the bathroom and splashed the cool water on his pale face.
Fiona's words kept ringing through his head: You're a part of our family.
"I'm a part of you family." Herman echoed.
Suddenly, the memories rushed back to him like a landslide. He fell onto the floor with a thud as he remembered his life. He stared to breath fast and heavily; he couldn't believe he forgot! Dillian came running to the bathroom and grabbed onto the lanky boy's shoulders.
"Herman?! What happened?"
Herman sat up and shook his head. "Digger, you need to remember! Something terrible is gonna happen and I don't think we have much time. We need Gameknight999."
"So your saying that Stitcher goes to our school?" Jenny asked her brother as he was getting ready for school.
"Yes. Something happened and I think Herobrine's behind it." Tom said and shoved his drawing book into his bag.
"But we destroyed him!" Jenny exclaimed and followed her brother to the front door.
"To be honest Jenny, I don't think we did," he replied and opened the door. "We just made everything worse than it already was."
Finn watched anxiously as Tommy-Gameknight999-walked onto the bus. He had been waiting all weekend to talk to him; he hand to make a move. As soon as the hero sat down, Finn spoke.
"Gameknight, we need you help!" the skinny boy said and leaned over to Tom's chair.
The brunette gave Finn a shocked looked. "How do you...Feyd. That's you isn't it?"
Finn suddenly became all flustered. "Yes but...ARGH! That really doesn't matter, do the others know yet?"
Tommy looked at Finn and opened his mouth. Realizing what he was doing, he stopped and turned away.
"Dammit, I'll tell you how to get that red-headed girl's memories back."
Tommy's head snapped back to Finn. "Okay, what did you mean by did they know yet?"
The emo kid tilted his head. "Crafter, Digger, do I have to go on?"
Tom shook his head.
"So Herobine planted portals and..." Finn looked around him to make sure no one was listening. He looked back at Tommy and told him what was happening, what they had to do, and how to reset everything back to normal.
Herman ran past the crowd of kids to reach Tommy.
I need to get to him! he thought.
As he shoved teens past him, he could see Tommy down the hallway.
"THOMAS FEYNMAN!" Herman yelled, trying to get the teen's attention.
Tommy turned around and waited for Herman to catch up with him.
"Not down Herman, I need to get to Hunter-" Tom stared to say before the pale kid shook his head.
"Gameknight999, User-that-is-not-a-user, stop this now!" Herman hissed. "Don't you dare walk away from me. Did you walk away from me when I was possessed by Herobrine?"
Tommy was bewildered; it felt like he was paralyzed.
"No, you didn't. You never gave up in Minecraft. You didn't give up on Stitcher when she turned to stone, you didn't give up on Crafter when he was dying. And you didn't give up on fixing the timeline when Entity ruined it. Now you need to tell me what's going on and have you made a plan to destroy the portals? Cause we need one REALLY soon."
Tommy smiled and hugged the boy. "Herder your back! Oh my gosh I wanted to say something but-"
"Hey, it's okay." Herman said and patted the taller boy on the shoulders. "I also figured out who was bullying me!"
"You we're bullied?!"
"Oh, never mind." the skinny boy laughed off. "Lets just get the other's Memories back!"
The two made their way to the gym to find Hunter.
"Oh yeah," Tommy said as he pushed open the door. "Feyd and Oxus is helping us destroy Herobrine."
"WHAT?!"
(A/N
