Tommy's POV

"Useless piece of trash, this will teach you to NEVER disobey me again" The dark shadow of a man, that I knew too well, shouted into my face. 

I retreated, bringing my hands to my head, this didn't stop him as he began hitting every part of my body he could get to, just as he was about to bring down a hard punch....

 I awoke and was dripping with sweat. 

"Just a dream." I muttered to myself.

 I heard shuffling to my left so I turned and was greeted with a sleepy Tubbo.

 "Go back to sleep, it's..." We both turned to look at the clock "....3:35 am, and didn't Miss Adams say something about meeting a family today?" 

Oh shoot I completely forgot. 

"Oh yeah...... sorry for waking you." With that, we both fell asleep.

~~

Both of us were awoken by the continuous loud bangs coming from our door.

 "THOMAS, TOBY GET UP, THERES A FAMILY HERE TO MEET YOU!" Miss Adams shrieked from the other side of the door.

 I turned to look at Tubbo, giving him a false smile. 

"They're gonna like you." I said. 

I cared for my brother, I don't care what happens to me, if he's happy so am I. 

As long as the family liked Tubbo, there wasn't much else to worry about, other than the punches I take for him.....

"y?"

"mmy?"

"ommy?"

"TOMMY?!"

I flinched at the shouting, which received a quick apology from Tubbo. 

"Sorry I zoned out, here take this and get changed in the bathroom." I threw him his favourite shirt and pants, it was a simple green button up shirt with some blue jeans.

 While he was changing I quickly threw on my red and white t-shirt, accompanied by some brown jeans. 

When he came back in, he sat down and I brushed his hair, something I've had to do since our parent passed, but I didn't mind. 

I grabbed his hand and we both walked out, making our way down to the meeting room.

Just as we're about to reach the room I heard laughter, both of us turned around and was met with Peter and his group.

 "Ew look there goes Tommy. He is NEVER gonna get adopted." Peter said, this received a lot of giggles from the other children.

 I was about to go over to him when I felt a tug on my hand, I looked down and saw Tubbo staring me.

 I sighed, and we continued walking. When we got to the door the sign read 'Meeting room'. 

I gulped, the last times we've been in this room, it didn't end well. Tubbo squeezed my hand encouragingly, I smiled at him as we entered.

"Thomas, Toby. This is Mr and Mrs Taylor, They are looking to adopt sibling...." As she was about to exit Miss Adams grabbed my wrist and whispered in my ear "... Behave". 

With that, she slammed the door and went off doing her jobs.

 I brought my attention back to the family, only now just noticing a young girl, most likely around my age, shifting uncomfortably between her parents. 'That's not a good sign' I thought to myself. 

"So what do you guys like to do for fun?" Mrs Taylor asked with a happy smile, too happy.

 "I like drawing and......? BEES! yes I love bees" Tubbo said, causing me to giggle quietly over his happiness for bees. 

They continued talking as the young girl came over to me 

"Hey my names Ava, what's your name?" I looked up at her, she smiled, but I could see the force behind it.

 "Tommy" I muttered. She kept attempting to make conversation, but I ignored her. She eventually gave up and went back to her parents, again shifting uncomfortably. 

That really isn't a good sign.

Miss Adams came back in with some papers. 

I looked up at her confused, she passed them to Mr Taylor, who signed them. 

"Get your stuff, Ava go help them" Mr Taylor ordered. 

"Yes sir" Ava muttered, which received a glare from both Mr and Mrs Taylor.

 "This way" I mumbled for Ava to follow us. 

This won't end well, I just hope nothing will happen to Tubbo.
