Summary:
Tommy's a fuck up, he can't pay attention, and never sits still. He taps his hands, pushes people away, and has never had a best friend. He's a screwed up, forgotten kid lost in the foster system. He's also just been placed with a new family. Tommy knows how this goes, he never ends up staying long. After all, no one wants a fuck up like him.

Why would this house be any different?

But seriously, this book contains a lot of toxic stuff so if you're going to read it just be aware. Also I wrote this when I was like 12 soooo yikes but that also means I was writing about things that I had no real knowledge of. Please educate yourself and if I do ever decide to rewrite this cursed book I will be sure to acknowledge some more of the things in this story that are a bit too much. Anyways, stay safe and enjoy the story if it's not too cringe for you lol)

Tommy had just recently moved homes. The one he left was one full of memories. Not good ones, but not necessarily bad ones, either. He didn't have much to live for at his old home, so he moved in hope of starting over and meeting new people. He had no more family, and his school friends had long moved on from him. In fact, the only number in his contacts was his mum's who was long passed away. Tommy was young (sixteen, to be exact) and he often forgot things. Usually just as simple as forgetting to do the laundry, or forgetting to reply to a notification on his phone that he received three seconds prior. Simple things that didn't matter. This time, though, he forgot to charge his phone before leaving his new, barely furnished apartment. He didn't think much of it. If it died, it died. No biggie, right? He figured he'd be alright for an hour or so without his phone. That is, until he got lost in the large, unfamiliar town that he definitely didn't even slightly know the layout of. He didn't know where he was or how to get back to his apartment, especially without a GPS. And then, when it definitely couldn't get worse, it began to rain. Tommy was soaked. He was cold, hungry. He cut into an alley and sat down against a brick wall, curled up on himself. He sat there for a while, and then heard footsteps. It was three men. The older one crouched down in front of him. "You look awful...Come with us, mate." But Tommy didn't want to. These people felt...off. ~~~ TW// Cussing Kidnapping Injuries Manipulation Stockholm syndrome Drugging someone etc... ~~~ Started: May 10, 2023 Finished: August 5, 2023 (This took way too long 😭)

If one of the creators tells me to take down this book, I will. Just know that I don't check notifications here very often. I wrote this story as a joke, but I will warn you that the writing looks more serious. The NOTICE at the beginning explains everything, so I recommend reading it before starting the story. Original Description: Out of YouTube, Tommy is a normal British boy, but one day, one of his best internet friends moves to his area and starts going to the same school as him. Everything's chill at first, but then Tommy starts realizing the small things that his friend does. He notices the small, cute, unimportant details. And all of a sudden, Tommy realizes that he's developed feelings. He doesn't like it one bit, especially since there's one minor difference between the two. I'm going through the book and cleaning everything up right now to just all-around make it more presentable and state the disclaimers in a more organized and thought-out manner, but I found this in the description and I find it funny, so I'm going to keep it. I don't know when I wrote this, but here it is: i can't delete the book at this point. it's already embedded in the web. this book is the bane of my existence. it is what keeps me up at night. please, i beg of you, only read this ironically. the amount of ship comments i've read make me regret my stupid 13-year-old self's choice to make this. honestly i love the ocs i have in this story but i can't think of them without thinking of THIS. anyways, have a great day.

**Completed** What do you do when you start hearing voices, telling you horrible, awful things? What do you do when you've never had a real home, and don't have anyone to help you? What do you do when you've been abused for the majority of your life, bouncing from abusive foster home to abusive foster home? Such is the life of Tommy Innit, a young fourteen year old teenager with a traumatic past. When Tommy is taken in by a family of three, Tommy finds it hard to trust them, especially once the middle child, Wilbur, makes it clear that Tommy isn't wanted in his new family. What will Tommy do? Will he get the help he deserves, or will his new family fall apart as quickly as it was thrown together? This is my third book! Feel free to check out the others!
