Chapter Text
When Tommy was born, his mom was sick. Sickness became unstoppable. Tommy was 5 when she died. Since then his family wouldn't be interested in him. Phil would usually be at work or spend time with the twins. Techno would just pass next to him like he doesn't exist. Wilbur would even look at Tommy with disgust. Tommy always said "It's okay".
Antil it isn't. Today is Tommy's birthday. He thought his family would remember this day, but they didn't. He didn't eat and stayed in his room for the rest of the day. At midnight he thought "Why they didn't remember my birthday" "Why are they ignoring me" "Did I do something wrong" "I wish my mom was here". It made him cry. Then, finally, after 3 hours he falls asleep.
"It's always the same" Tommy said looking at the clock. It was 8 in the morning on Tommy's 16 birthday but it's not like he expected something to happen. Tommy makes himself breakfast and puts lunch in his backpack. He eats quickly and goes to school. Usually, he would take a bike but today he will walk and see the beautiful nature for the last time.
When Tommy came to school it was 5 minutes before the bell rings. He walks to his classroom and sits on a chair in the back. The bell rings and his teacher comes in. It was Mr.Punz. He starts teaching but Tommy was looking out of the window and thinking about his birthday. "Tommy" someone says. Tommy's head snaps to his teacher. "Solve this question". Tommy knew that then and there he was fucked.
Why is math so hard "Um I don't know sir" Tommy said looking down at the floor. Mr.Punz smiles "In that case you get an F" Tommy knows that he was going to fail this year. Bell rings and everyone starts leaving.
Next class: English. Mr.Awesome is a great teacher. He doesn't give much homework and always made him laugh and smile. He is wearing his green sweater and black jeans with black sneakers. The best thing is that he hates Mr.Punz.
"Welcome students, today we are going to read some very interesting poems" (What am I doing with my life) "Everyone is going to read one poem in front of the class". Tommy was second to read. He was extremely nervous to do so. But when it was his turn, he forgot he was in front of the class. He was deeply engrossed in reading. When he finished his classmates and teacher stared at him and some started clapping.
"Wow Tommy that was an amazing, good job" Mr.Awesome congratulates. Tommy smiles "thank you sir". This is one of two classes that he doesn't hate. When he sits again he muttered "I wish I had a dad like that". The bell rings and everyone leaves. Everyone except Tommy. "Tommy can we talk" He looked up questioningly.
"I want you to join my club". Tommy looked at Mr.Awesome with confusion in his eyes. "I'm sorry but I don't know what are you talking about sir" "I lead theater club and I want you to join, I have seen that you have it in you to act"(I know, he didn't act or anything but he will soon). Tommy looked at him in shock. "Can I take some time to think about this sir?" "Of course you can" Mr.Awesome smiles. Tommy return his smile before walking away "He is a special kid" Sam thought.
Next class: Science. Mrs.Rose is so kind and she knew how to make roses from metal. Nobody knows how to do that. She wears a black blouse with red roses and light blue jeans. Every time she made a rose, she would put it in her hair. She always helps others and gives them hugs. "Today we are going to do something new" she smiles. The bell rings and everyone left for lunch. As always he was sitting alone. He ate his lunch and walked around. The bell rings and everyone is hurrying to their classes.
His next class: P.E. with Mr.Fundy who always made us run five laps and do extremely fucking hard exercises. He wears black jeans with an orange sweater and a jacket that has like small stickers of fox, bee and L'manburg flag. He is funny but he is friends with Mr.Punz.
Next and last class: Geography. Mr.Purpled is a good teacher because he let us do whatever we want five minutes before class ends. He is wearing his iconic purple hoodie and black jeans with some pretty rings and neckless. Bell rings end Tommy walks out of school.
"It's going to be okay" Tommy mumbled when arriving in front of his house. Phil's car is in the garage, which means he is home. The twins don't have college today so they are in the house too. This is going to be hard.
First thing that Tommy can hear is laughter coming from the living room. He takes his shoes off and walks to the living room. The living room is connected to the hall where the other rooms are. He tries to sneak past them but Wilbur sees him and glares at him with hatred in his eyes. He couldn't bare to look at him any longer so he ran. The first things that he hears as he runs to his room are "Murderer" "I hate you" and "You were never my brother to begin with". The one thing, the ONLY thing Tommy knows is that he needs to get out of here right now. The problem is that it's almost night.
Being on the roof of a high building is not something he thought would ever happen. Not under normal circumstances. He is scared to look down but for the last time ever, he needs to be brave. "I guess I'm doing this" And with that, he steps off the edge.
But doesn't fall. Someone had caught the back of his shirt and was pulling him back towards the building. It was a boy around his age with brown hair, green eyes, a green shirt with a small bee on the sleeve, black pants, and black sneakers with green laces that also had bees at the sides. He looked at Tommy with horror in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" the stranger asked. "Why did you do that?" Tommy said. "What?" the stranger asked confused "Why did you save me" "I-I don't know" is the response. "What" deadpanned Tommy. "Well I couldn't just let you fall to your death, could I" Tommy hums, looking at the rest of the roof "What's your name" "Tubbo" stra-Tubbo said. "Yours?" "Tommy".
After some moments of silence Tommy ask "Where do you live, I've never seen you around" " I don't know the streets name but there are houses with big yard and different color fences with a garage" "That's like...half of the city. You are new here?" "Yes, we moved yesterday". Silence engulfed both of them. "Do you want to be friends" Tubbo ask when Tommy proceeded to leave. "I guess, since I'm probably going to see you around" Tommy takes his leave.
