love. a strong word.

chapter 17

"ready to leave?" i ask atlas. its now currently 11:45.
"you guys could stay if youd like?" atlas looks at tommy then me. pretty much asking to stay.
"alright fine. im sleeping here. you guys can keep playing but tommy dont make him sleep too late," i say to them as they get all excited.
i watch them play for a bit then fall asleep.

TOMMYS POV
me and and atlas play until like 2. it was honestly amazing. we go into the bonus room and start watching a movie. i look over to atlas and see him asleep.
i turn off the movie and start going onto tiktok
to see y/ns tiktok of me and atlas. i like it then repost it. i never repost tiktoks but this one has an exception. my eyes get heavier and heavier so i put my phone down and head to sleep.

i wake up at 8:30 to see y/n walk out of the room, on the phone walking to the kitchen.
"wait no-no-no-no i have dance today, can you please watch him? your here and doing nothing just please?" theres a pause which im assuming the person shes talking to is talking.
"you dont even have to watch him. just be there in the same place as him," she says. theres another pause.
"okay well go fuck with your boyfriend instead of watching your brother," she says and hangs up. she puts her elbows on the table with her hands are holding her head. shes really stressed.
"hey are you alright?" i ask as she looks up,
"yeah goodmorning! sorry if i woke you up. i have dance today and no one can watch atlas. i didn't want to ask you because youre really busy." she says to me. i mean, all im doing is filming with will, ranboo and george.
"i mean he could stay with me. im just filming a video with will, george, ranboo, tubbo, bill and james. he could come with us if youre okay with it," i say.
"are you sure? you do so much for us," she says. okay so?
"yes! its okay."
"whats the video going to be?" she asks.
"we're going to go to a water park. he can swim, right?" i asks. shit what if he doesnt.
"oh yeah of course. do you want something to eat? i already ate," she says. lie.
she hasnt been eating. at all.
ever since the bathroom incident she hasnt been eating anything.
"we're eating with them so its okay but thanks." i tell her. im so worried about her its not even funny.
i get out of the couch and sit down on one of the chairs.
"what time is your dance?"
"starts at 10:15." she tells me.
"okay. we leave 9 before you do. wills gonna pick us up," i tell her. she just nods.

"i have a compition in a week. jazz, contemporary, acro and pointe. i have them in all solos and groups,"
she tells me. woah.
"ohh okay!"
we talk for about 10 minutes until i realize i have to change. and text the gc.
i pull my phone out and start texting them.
