    "So, wheres the kid gonna sleep?" Tom questioned.

"Well, I'm not quite sure yet, I guess they either sleep on the couch or share a room with one of us for a bit." Edd suggested the second option with a slight uncertainty in his voice.

"I'm fine wherever you decide to put me, sharing a room would be nice though."
After I said that, I saw them think for a bit, so I stayed quiet for an answer.

"They can stay in my room for a bit, I do have an extra mattress." Tom suggested this after a minute. Hearing this, I nodded in agreement.

"Y/n have you eaten yet? You look hungry." Tord pointed out, his eyebrows creased with concern.

My stomach was clawing at me, trying to make me scream yes, but my mind spoke no, I really deserve to starve.

I dryly swallowed before speaking again.

"Yeah I'm good, I ate before I left my old house."

Liar.

Tord looked at me suspiciously, making me paranoid about my answer. In the few moments we stood, I felt like he knew I wasn't being honest as I claimed

He knows.
He knows.
He knows.

My mind would repeat like a skipping record.

Tord seemed worried and leaned toward Edd, whispering something in his ear. Edd started to examine me in a concerned manner but then sighed.

"You should go get some rest, Tom'll help you with that mattress and get you settled." Edd told me.

I mentally sighed in relief and i headed towards Toms room, and hesitantly, I knocked on instinct.

Tom opened the door and invited me in, the room was blue and littered with checkered decorations, a bass was sitting on a stand, and posters took up large portions of the wall. I absolutely admired it.

Tom already began to feel like an older brother in some way, it was nice.

"Alright, i got the mattress on the floor already plus some pillows and blankets, make yourself at home."

"Oh, and don't touch Susan, ask first." He added while pointing at the bass I saw when I walked in, which is I assume is "who" he's talking about.

When everything was set up how I liked it, I grabbed a pillow and flopped down, hugging it. I was completely exhausted from today, so many things happened in such little time.

I laid there, wondering how long it would take until they disowned me too..?

Guess I'll find out.
