"I don't know honestly." Phil said softly and Tommy pulled away from the hug. "You could just not call me dad I guess?" Phil offered but he instantly saw the panic and tears well in Tommy's eyes. "Not that I don't want that! I love it when you call me dad! I just- if bad things keep happening-" Phil tried to poorly explain and Tommy shook his head, wiping his tears.

"You're probably right." Tommy mumbled, looking down at his hands and Phil felt sad.

"No Tommy that's not what I meant. You can call me dad if you want." Phil smiles but Tommy doesn't meet his eyes, or even look up at him.

"Can I call Puffy?" Tommy asks and Phil nodded, taking that as a sign to leave.

"I'll be downstairs for whenever you want to talk." Phil smiles, leaving the room after that. Tommy took a deep breath and picked up the phone from where it was on his pillow case.

He opened it up and went to his calling app, but paused for a moment. He scrolled out of it and over to his texting app, there was so many messages that he didn't remember sending.

The ones in the Ranboo, Tubbo, Tommy group chat (Tubbo named it 'Suicide Squad') were the weirdest to Tommy.

Hey Tommy, Tubbo and I wanted to know if you wanted to come hang out with us today? We haven't seen you in like two weeks since Thanksgiving. 11:38am 12/12

Tommy felt sad at the response

sleeping. 4:43pm 12/12

And that was it. Nothing more, nothing less. He responded with a one word answer and his friends just accepted that.

What happened to him in the time that he can't remember? He scrolled out of his chat with them and scrolled to his chats with Wilbur and Techno, another group chat that was just called "Don't tell Phil"
