"Two more days... Two more days then it's christmas..' Tommy thought as he sat on his bed , tears running down his face , he hugged his knees and his head layed on them as he looked outside into the rising sun. He hadnt slept one second this night..

He sniffed and looked ar his clock "5 am..." he mumbled to himself. 'Phil should be awake in an hour..' he thought , he really hoped they would leave him alone today. He didnt have the motivation to do anything other than cry , he sighed and looked back outside and let the tears flow.

Suddenly it knocked "Tommy? Mate?" It knocked again

'Huh!?' He thought , eyes widening. He looked to the door and then to his clock '6:30!?', he looked back at the door

"Yes?" He said , he really hoped no one heard him cry

"Are you alright mate? I heard crying" Tommy heard Phils soft voice say

"Yes.. i-im alright" he said , tears threatened to spill once again

"Okay... can i come in?"

"No." Tommy quickly said , too quickly for Phils liking it seemed

"Now i know you're not okay. Tell me whats going on mate.." Phil slighly begged , Tommy sniffed and let the tears finally leave his eyes again.

"Fine , come i-in- " he sobbed , he couldnt stop the tears as Phil opened the door and walked inside , closing the door behind him. Phil walked over to him , sat down next to him and gently wrapped him into a hug

"Whats wrong mate?" He gently asked , gently holding one hand behind Tommys head and going through his hair and holding the other hand on Tommys back

"I-i miss them.." Tommy sobbed as he melted into Phil , trying to hide his face on the olders shoulder as they spoke. He hated showing them how he felt , having breakdowns infront of them but it was okay now. Sometimes even he had to to let his walls fall every now and then.

"who?... who do you miss sunshine?" the older blond whispered , Tommy smiled lightly at the gesture that he didn't speak too loud or anything to make sure Tommy was comfortable

"My Parents.. is it weird to miss them even through i never met them?"

"what? no , of course it's not.. Tommy it's okay to miss the people who were suppose to be there for you for your whole life , i'm sure they were great people and if they could see you now? They would be so so proud of you.." He told the younger , gently pulling back and cupping the boys face

"Really?" Tommy sniffed

"of course.. I'm sure you did something all these years to remember them in your own way. What is it?" Phil smiled at him , of course he would know that Tommy did something for them every year , even through he only had been there for a few motnhs they knew him better then anyone else ever had.

"I-I would sometimes.. dont be mad.." he said ,looking up at Phil who smiled at him and nodded for him to continue "Sometimes i would run away and visit their graves.. I just- i feel like i need to visit them , speak to them.. even if they can't answer me.."

"Okay... how about instead if running away this year to visit them-" , Tommys eyes widened scared for what was to come , "I will drive you there. And afterwards we can get starbucks or something"

"really!?" Tommy asked , his expression became reliefed instead of scared and his face brightened

"of course. Now get ready and i will speak to the boys before we go , yea?" Phil said , placing a gentle kiss on the boys forhead as he stood up , after a small hum from Tommy he left the room and closed the door behind him to let Tommy change.

"hey mom.. hey dad.." Tommy said, sadly smiling at the graves he sat infront of. "it has been a while again, hasn't it.. a year? *sigh* another year has gone by and so have some familys.. but i have been in this new family for a few months now! The dads name is Phil , and he has two adopted sons called Wilbur and Techno , they are Twins. They're.. nice" he said , looking over his shoulder at where Phil stood at the car

"Phil is good.. he has been nice so far and so have the twins.. I get presents and even new things all the time" he smiled "I hope you two are proud of me.. or atleast happy for me. I wish you could be here with me but it's okay.. I know you will always be there for me in my heart" he sniffed

"I have to go now.. but Merry Christmas Mom and Dad. I hope you aren't too mad about me calling them family..love you" he said as he stood up , he placed the flowers they had gotten before driving to the graveyard to their graves and gave one last smile before walking away to Phil.

Once back at the car he was quick to jump into Phils arms and hug him tightly , letting the tears fall once again. "Thank you.. Thank you so so much" He sniffed

"of course.. everything for you , sweetheart.." Phil replied softly ,  Tommy smiled even brighter when he hewrd the nickname. He loved when they called him these nice words.. "now lets go get starbucks" he pulled back and booped Tommys nose making him laugh before they got into the car. Oh how much he loved his new family..
