Me, Niki, and Wilbur stayed up later than
everyone else. I'm glad Wil brought Niki.
"Toms, I can barely keep my eyes open anymore." Niki mumbles, leaning on Wil, who is barely awake.
The entire time I've been chatting with Niki, she's sort of been trying to sell me on Wilbur. Kind of just making him sound cooler than he is. I'm pretty sure they're dating.
"Okay, I'm going to go back with Tubbo then." I say, yawning. My sides hurt immensely.
"Night."
I find Tubbo fast asleep, Dream and Bad sleeping on a couch behind him. I sigh.
Should I sleep with Tubbo? I might wake him up, by screaming or having a shaky nightmare. On the other hand, it would be easier to sleep if I was close to Tubbo.
But I know to do what is best for Tubbo, so I leave the room. Niki is already fast asleep, and so is everyone else, so I just sit next to Techno, who is sleeping silently.
I close my eyes, leaning on Techno.

"Wait! S-STOP!" I yell, tied to the ground. The chains tightly cutting into my raw wrists hold me down, unable to do anything except watch.
Tubbo's screams echo throughout the dark room as the hooded figure carefully placing shards of glass all over his body.
"TOMMY! HELP!!" Tubbo screams. "STOP!"
"PLEASE STOP IT! TUBBO!" I scream, pulling at the chains in the ground.
Pools of blood get so close I can smell them, and even feel the warmth seep into my dirty clothing. I yank and yank at the chains, desperately trying to uproot the things holding me back.
"PLEASE!! ME INSTEAD!" I scream, but it's hopeless.
The man holds Tubbos lifeless body by the neck, inches from my face. All I can see are the whites in his eyes, and the thin layer of grey skin covering his bones.
"NO! TUBBO!" I scream, crying. Finally, the chains break, but too late. He's...
Gone.
"Tommy?"
Eret is in front of me, his hands on my shoulders.
He's holding on tight, trying to stop my shaking.
I wipe the tears out of my eyes, and lean into Eret. He moves his arms, catching me in a hug.
I sob into his cotton shirt, tightly gripping onto him. I hate these nightmares, even if I deserve them.
"Hey, Tommy. Wanna go somewhere real quick?" Eret asks. I pull away, confused.
"W-where?" I ask.
"It's a surprise. I swear you'll be safe." He says, smiling.
I just lean back into him, unsure of what to do or how to think. I'm so torn apart and confused.
He picks me up, holding me high, but still cradling me. Peeking down, I realize how tall he is.
He carries me outside, the cool air causing me to shiver more than shake, and takes me down the street into a car.
The car warms me up, as Eret turns up the heat.
He hands me his phone, opening Spotify.
"Play anything you want. You buckled?"
I quickly put on my seatbelt, and hand Eret back his phone. I can't think of anything right now.
