----------------------------------------


Thomas returned to Toby's room with two small mugs, filled with hot cocoa and marshmallows on top. Toby was changed into new clothes as he sat on his bed; sneezing. Thomas smiled and chuckled a bit. 
"You don't have a cold do you?" He asked. Thomas walked to Toby and sat on his bed, handing over his hot cocoa which Toby grabbed. 
"I don't think I do but, we were in the rain after all," Toby replied; blowing on his hot chocolate and sipping a little bit of it. Thomas nodded in agreement, he couldn't stop thinking about Zak and Darryl though. Toby tilted his head and asked, "Are you okay Thomas? Your being a bit quiet. Is something on your mind?" Thomas looked at Toby.
"Oh! No... it's just that I was worried when you passed out. That's all." He faked smiled. Toby laughed a little.
"You don't have to worry about me Thomas but thanks." 
"No problem."
Thomas and Toby just stared at each other and didn't really know what to say. A couple of minutes passed until the boys hear Toby's mom yelling for them to come downstairs at this instant. Thomas and Toby gently put their small mugs on Toby's counter and ran downstairs.


------------------------- . . . -------------------


"What's the wrong mother?" Toby asked as the boys got downstairs. Toby's mother pointed to the T.V that showed the news of two dead boys in an alleyway, their bodies were covered as they were being picked up by doctors and police. sirens and police cars were everywhere. Toby's and Thomas's eyes widened as they looked at each other with awe. Toby's mother didn't know that it was his son's friend as she said,
"Poor boys, they said they were only 20-25 years of age." Toby's mother exclaimed. "I hope they have a better life." She added. Toby's sister nodded as she was sitting down on the couch. Toby's eyes lost some glint in his eyes, he looked soulless as his eyes began to go droopy, he looked down and wrapped his arms around himself. Thomas saw Toby and felt very bad for him. 
"Toby?" Thomas said. Toby looked up at him and faked smiled.
"I'm fine." He said before going back upstairs to his room, he muttered something before Thomas could hear his door shutting. 

15 minutes later

Thomas was talking to Toby's sister before his friend's mom looked at them both.
"I'm going to the store if anybody wants to come?" She asks. Toby's sister looks and gets up from the couch.
"Can I come? I'm sooo bored right now." She said and started to get ready. Toby's mom looked at Thomas.
"Do you want to come as well, Thomas?" Thomas smiled.
"No thanks, I think I'll stay with Toby." He said. Toby's mother nodded and started to walk towards the front door; opening it. 
"CMON!" She shouted towards Toby's sister. 
"I'm coming!" She said before dashing out of the front door and closing it behind her. Thomas felt the dash of airflow by him as he heard the door shut. He sighed and started going upstairs as Thomas started to hear more crying towards Toby's door. 
"Toby? Are you alright in-" He got cut off by the continuous crying that became very loud. Thomas shifted his eyes away from the door before opening It and seeing Toby curled up by his bed; crying for what seemed like a while.
"If I didn't invite them then they wouldn't have died!" Toby shouted as he looked at Thomas. Thomas's eyes widened as Toby looked like he hasn't had any sleep, his eyes looked baggy and red. 
"Toby... this wasn't your fault. You can't blame yourself for something you didn't know would happen." Thomas said, he rushed to Toby and put his hands away from his face as Thomas wiped his tears away. Toby was just looking down in shame. 
"Thomas..." He said. 
"Yeah?" 
"Were all going to die aren't we?" Toby said, smiling as he continued to cry. Tears fell down to his kneecaps. Thomas's expression went to a frightened one.
"Why would you say that?! Toby, you need to stop worrying so much. Your making yourself more worried than you already are." He exclaimed as Thomas hugged Toby again. Toby looked and rested his head on Thomas's right shoulder as he closed his eyes, calming down. 


The boys stayed like that for about 20 minutes before Thomas felt Toby droop down to the ground. He saw that he fell asleep. 
"I hate seeing you like this, my friend," Thomas muttered as he let go of the hug and picked Toby up to his bed; setting him down. Thomas was very exhausted as he slowly began to fall to his knees, he slowly fell asleep on the ground near his sleeping bag.

Thomas's POV:

"Thomas!"


...


"Thomas!"


...


"THOMAS!"


I woke up by the sound of somebody shouting my name and shaking me. My eyes slowly opened as I saw it was Toby. "What the hell Thomas? I shook you like 25 times!" Toby said to me. I couldn't think straight as I just asked,
"What time is it?" I mumbled. Toby sighed and said,
"7:30 AM" He replied. "You've been sleeping for about 19 hours!" Toby added. Thomas slowly got up and rubbed his eyes.
"I must have fallen asleep..." Thomas yawned. Toby looked down after the response.
"Yeah... I'm sorry about that." He muttered very quietly. Thomas tilted his head and looked to the side.
"What did you say, Toby?"
"N-Nothing!" Toby said quickly before getting up. Thomas shrugged it off and got up slowly; yawning. 
"Hey... The festival is coming soon, do you think the people who are hosting it are getting it ready?" Thomas asked. Toby looked over and shrugged. 
"I mean, I guess so..." Toby remembered something. "Aren't we meeting Wilbur and Niki at the festival day with everyone else?" He asked. Thomas nodded.
"Yeah, but we are meeting up with some others before the festival." Thomas reminded Toby. 
"Right..." 
"Well, we should get started to meet up with some others since we ARE meeting up with them tomorrow," Thomas said.





"Don't worry Thomas, you will be the most important."
