Why Is All I Can Ask

15 years ago in London there was a man and woman. His name was Wilbur Soot, while her name was Sally Salmon. They were both seniors in highschool. Months after dating Sally fell pregnant, and was carrying Wilbur's child. Soon after, Sally had broken up with Wilbur. Sally thought that she could handle a child alone but soon realized she wasn't equipped to after he started becoming a "complicated" child. With nothing else to do, and no other options, she left Tommy at Wilbur's flat, with all his things. Sally told Wilbur over the phone to make sure he was ready. He was not ready, at all.
