• 1:36 PM • Luke's house •
Timothy was given the privilege to walk around the house by himself while 'the adults' talked
He realized a few things on his journey
For starters there were no windows
And certain doors were locked
There was a door with a sign hanging from it
With the words 'our room' on it
He tried opening it
Surprisingly it wasn't locked
He looked around
He saw something he didn't want to
The old photo album was sitting on the dresser
It was sickening to see
There were no more photos of him and Wesley
Just him
Pictures of Timothy when he was sleeping
When he was changing clothes
When he was out with Gabby and other friends
When he was crying as his dad hugged him
Timothy felt sick.
But the worst part was when he saw a picture in which he was standing by his family and friends at his 22nd birthday celebration
Finn's, Ian's and Wesley's eyes were all crossed out
All that was left was his parents, Gabriella, a few other co workers and himself
And somehow he knew
He knew that Luke wouldn't stop
Until he was the only one left in that picture
"Darling? Is everything okay?"
Timothy looked up from the photo album to see Luke in the doorway
He didn't say anything
He just stared at Luke with eyes of sorrow
"..I want to go home"
Luke sighed, a little irritated
Timothy teared up
"Please..I miss my mom and my dad..I miss Ian's voice..and I miss how caring Finn was and...I miss Wesley's-"
"That's Enough, I don't want to hear another word"
"But-"
Luke grabbed Timothy by his arm
"Let me go, you psycho"
Luke didn't say anything
But he was livid
He pulled out a key and unlocked one of the doors that Timothy couldn't open
"please, I just want to see my family"
Luke still hadn't said anything
He opened the door and Timothy could see a set of stairs
He was taking Timothy to the basement
