Stick to the Script

Chapter 17

"I know what you mean", Technoblade admits.

"I just- I just want them to go away". 

Technoblade sighs and brings me into a hug. "Me too, y/n. Me too".

-----

When night comes, I refuse to go back to living with Dream. I don't care if he was the one to nurse me back to health- he is psychotic and was technically keeping me there against my will. However, I was still upset with Technoblade for blowing up L'manberg, so I moved in with Ranboo. 

Ranboo has a cozy bunker closely neighboring Techno's house. It was clearly constructed with the intention of only one person living there, but Ranboo ecstatically made room for me and assured me that I could stay. We made plans for me to hide here when Dream inevitably came searching for me. The next morning Ranboo tells me that he has a surprise for me. We walk into the forest until we come across someone. 

"Ranboo is that you? Why would you make me come all the way out here- what if Technoblade finds me?" He stops upon seeing me. "Y/n... is that really you?" 

"Tommy?", I say, a large smile beaming on my face.  I extend my arms and run to Tommy.

"Y/n! Oh my gosh, I've missed you!", Tommy says while enveloping me in a hug. "I thought I'd never see you again and it would be all my fault", he whimpers into my shoulder. 

"It's ok, Tommy. I'm here now", I tell him while holding him closer. "Dream found me injured on the battlefield and nursed me back to health, but I escaped him and came here looking for help". 

Tommy lets go of me to look me in the eyes. "Why on Earth y/n, of all the places, would you come here?", Tommy says with all of the warmth leaving his voice. 

"I-I'm hearing voices and I thought Techno could help me", I confess, uncomfortable with the dramatic shift in Tommy's tone. 

"Even after what he did? You really thought it would be better to get help from a traitor than asking your friends?" 

"I was scared Tommy, and Dream had me hidden away again! This was the only place I knew how to find from Dream's new hideout!" 

"Y/n, how could you think of coming to him after what he did to you during the fight?". 

"What- what do you mean?", I stammer.

Tommy's eyes fill with concern. "Do you not remember?" 

"I-" 

"That's enough Tommy". Technoblade materializes behind me. "I think you should leave". 

"You", Tommy growls. "HOW COULD YOU LIE TO HER?" 

"I never lied to her", Technoblade insists. 

"Why can't she remember then?", Tommy yells. 

"What can't I remember?", I shout over the two of them. 

"Y/n", Tommy starts. 

"Tommy, please don't-", Technoblade interrupts. 

"Y/n, Techno was the one who shot you. He almost killed you". 

My breath hitches and I turn to look at Technoblade. 

"It wasn't meant for you- it was meant for Tommy. You-you jumped in the way". 

I take a shaky step back as the memories come flooding back. It was me- I jumped in front of Techno's firework to save Tommy. That's when Dream swooped in and stole me. I shake my head at the newly found memories. 

"I'm leaving", I announce, stepping closer to Tommy. 

"But y/n", Ranboo says, clearly not prepared for the outcome of this 'surprise' he arranged. 

"I'm so sorry Ranboo. Please, come visit me". I turn to Technoblade. "As for you", I say, my voice growing icy, "stay away from me and Tommy". 

I swear I see the hurt flash in Technoblade's eyes, but it doesn't matter. 

"Come on y/n, let's go home", Tommy says, taking my hand.
