Chapter 4

Thomas's POV:

I woke up with a killer headache. I was back in the bed from before. I tried sitting up, but was pushed back down gently. I looked at the mystery man that has been near me all day. "y. ey. HEY!" he yelled, I guess I spaced out. The yelling scared me a little, but I tried not to flinch, key word try. "Are you ever gonna say something?" he asks randomly, I just shrugged my shoulders. He handed me some clothes "Here are some clothes, just let the doc check you, then you can change" he replied bluntly. I sat the clothes in my lap as I waited for the doc to check me.

The man from earlier, that was with scary guy, came in with a bag. I gulped at the big sack, scared of what could be in there. What's he gonna do to me is all I had wondered. He walked over and sat the bag on the floor next to a chair, which was by the bed. Scary guy stayed where he was, by the dresser. The doc was saying stuff I didn't bother listening to. He test my blood pressure and heart rate. He was checking all my wounds. Everything he did hurt, but not as bad as dad made it hurt.

I turned to look at the man, he didn't seem as scary anymore, but still terrified me. After the doc said he was done checking me, I got dressed. The clothes were too big, and the shirt looked like a dress on me. I tied the pants strings to keep the sweats up, when suddenly my stomach growled loudly. I would normally be embarrassed but I just sighed; I wasn't going to ask or beg, and didn't expect them to give me food. I heard the man laugh, I turned to him curious as to what's funny. "Want some lunch?" he said in a soft and gentle tone. I didn't know how to respond, I shrugged.

He walked out of the room, wanting me to follow, so I did. He led me down a hallway, and stairs, through another hallway, then into a kitchen. He opened the fridge so I just sat on the stool at the counter thing. I guess there were other people here that were hungry, cause soon enough people started filing into the room. This made me nervous, I got really scared when a giant man walked in and stared at me. I looked down waiting to be hit. It never came. I was confused to this, as I was usually hit by people. It was oddly quiet as everyone sat at the counter watching each other, or me, or the guy cooking. I heard someone say something by my ear "What's your name?", I know it's stupid but I flinched. I was afraid to answer, but I was scared of what would happen if I didn't.

"T-Th-Thomas" I basically whispered, but with it being dead quiet everyone heard. The room somehow got even quieter. I slowly looked at everyone, they were staring at me. I fidgeted in my spot. "Hi Thomas, I'm Paul and this is our family". I looked at the man talking, he was good looking, just not as great looking as scary guy.

There was a booming voice that followed Paul's "I'm Bryan, the others can and will introduce themselves, but welcome to our home." "Yeah, what he said, I'm Alec by the way." A very soothing cheery voice replied on my left "Be nice boys, and use your manners; Hi Thomas, I'm Nancy, Bryan's wife, and mother of these goofballs." "Hey! They're goofballs not me!" Alec yelled. "Manners!" Nancy yelled equally as loud back. I have flinched and fidgeted every time someone touched me or talked, I need to break this habit. The scary guy got yelled at for not introducing himself, he was flipping something on the stove when he sighed. "Hi, I'm Jeremy" he turned to face me as he said it. I simply nodded.

Whatever was being cooked smelled good. Once again my stomach has betrayed me as he yelled for food. I could feel their eyes boring into me. I blushed and looked down "S-Sorry" is all I said. I heard the thunderous voice of Bryan laughing, causing the others to follow. "Hurry up son, he's starving over here." I swear I just turned 10 shades darker. I heard a clink and looked up, there was a plate with weird round food on it. I've never seen this before. I hope it's good, and not poisoned either. I poked it with the fork I was given. Jeremy had said "What? Don't like my cooking?" I quickly looked at him and apologized "U-umm, I-I don't k-know, I've just n-never s-seen this b-before."

"What! You've never seen pancakes?!" The Alec guy yelled. I flinched and shook my head no. I'm afraid, I messed up didn't I. Their gonna hit me, and throw me out now aren't they? There was a hand placed on my back, I flinched so bad I almost fell off the stool. "Didn't your family make these for you, before you ended up on the streets?" the lady asked. I shook my head "N-no, my d-dad didn't r-really like i-it when I a-ate."  (sorry I'm mainly doing Tommy's POV, its just much easier)

I was suddenly squished, I don't remember a feeling like this ever, but I think my body does. This is what they call a hug, isn't it. I didn't move as she held me close. I didn't realize that I was crying either. (I almost put that my eyes were sweating) The hug lasted for a long time, as the others were talking about something, I just know it was about me. I don't like all of this attention. It's stressing me out. She finally let go "Now I want you to eat as much as you can" is all she said.

I was able to eat 2 pancakes and drink some orange juice, before I got full. Everyone else was on there 6th or 7th pancake, and 3rd cup of juice. Those 6 pancakes would have been my food for 2 weeks before. I felt greedy eating as much as I did. I started feeling sick. "May I use the restroom?" I asked Nancy. "Sure thing hun, just down this hall on the right." I got up "Thank You" I responded as I made my way there. The sickness was getting worse. By the time I got to the bathroom, I was running to the toilet to puke out my only way of survival. I guess I was loud cause I heard a knock on the door. "Are you ok Thomas?" it was Jeremy. I couldn't respond as I was still hanging over the toilet, spilling my guts. A hand was rubbing my back and another holding my hair out of the way.

It finally stopped. I felt dirty and exhausted. I was hungry again, but I don't want to waste more food. "How are you feeling?" Jeremy asked. "Dirty" is all I was able to respond.

(This is where I fell asleep. I'll leave the chapter like this. I write more tomorrow after school. I'll write during school, just on docs)
