Summary
What was it his dad had said, blood coating his knuckles? That he brought too much trouble to the family while giving nothing in return? That he should get out and stay out?
It was bullshit. He knew it was bullshit. Knew it in the way anger clenched his fists and quickened his breath. In the way that every now and then, money disappeared from his account with no explanation. He already paid for the Wi-Fi and the electricity, figuring that was fair since he used so much of it. He did his chores, even when the unfairness of them made him clench his jaw. So what if he got into the occasional fight?
There was a voice in his head telling him that being beaten up wasn't a fight; he was tall for his age, but skinny and spent his free time playing video games, his chances against one person was low, never mind four. The voice sounded suspiciously like Wilbur, so he ignored it.
It was bullshit. So he listened, and he left and he hadn't looked back once.
Tommy is alone, injured and so, so tired. He has one destination in mind: Brighton.
He just hopes Wilbur will be happy to see him.

Summary
It's been a few weeks since he ran away and Tommy's moved in with Techno. He's settling in fine, except that he feels like he's constantly confused: Techno hadn't gotten mad at him once, even when Tommy made stupid mistakes and did things that would have gotten him hit not a month ago. But the strangest thing is that Techno, hell, all three of them, seem to genuinely care about him.
Hopefully Tubbo will be able to help him work out what's happening.

Summary
Tommy loves his new family more than he thought he was capable of loving anything, so why can't he just be normal now?
Surprise visits from family members certainly don't help.
Stumbling back, he barely registered when the parcel fell to the floor, too busy trying to remember how to breathe.
“Tom.” His dad said. “I should have known you’d be here.”
Tommy moved to shut the door but was too slow as his dad forced his way into the apartment.
“Get out.” His voice shook slightly as he spoke, glancing behind him to see the door to the living room still shut – he wasn’t sure if he wanted to call out for help or not.Series
