PM from RingoJingo to PastyPatryk
RingoJingo: Patryk?
PastyPatryk: Yes?
RingoJingo: I'm really worried for Tom
RingoJingo: like, really fucking worried
PastyPatryk: How come?
RingoJingo: well, I used the word abuse while I was talking to him
RingoJingo: and he asked me what abuse was
RingoJingo: and then-
RingoJingo: well
RingoJingo: you know the way he texts when he's upset?
PastyPatryk: Yeah.
RingoJingo: he started talking that way and he just seemed really disconnected
RingoJingo: especially after I told him it was illegal
PastyPatryk: You don't think...?
RingoJingo: yeah. I do. it's just
RingoJingo: I'm afraid I'm wrong cuz I don't want to bring that up and be wrong
RingoJingo: but I'm also really worried because
RingoJingo: " BlackEyedPeas: I GOT HURTBlackEyedPeas: THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THIS STORY. "
RingoJingo: the more I look at it the more suspicious it gets
RingoJingo: and remember when he snapped at Jon that the place he lived in was his house and not his home?
RingoJingo: not to mention his lack of self-esteem
RingoJingo: it makes me worry so much because he's our friend and if a family member is hurting him, I want to help him
PastyPatryk: Who do you think is doing it?
RingoJingo: to be honest?
RingoJingo: I think it's his step-dad
PastyPatryk: His step-dad?
PastyPatryk: Why?
RingoJingo: do you remember how he got like
RingoJingo: idk
RingoJingo: defensive?
RingoJingo: not defensive
RingoJingo: but you asked about him and Tom just responded with "yeah"
RingoJingo: he seems to get really uncomfortable whenever we bring up family
PastyPatryk: Wait.
RingoJingo: what?
PastyPatryk: Tord has talked to him/seen him before in real life.
RingoJingo: so...?
PastyPatryk: He could probably help us decide this.

RingoJingo has invited Tordylock to Tom
Tordylock accepted the invitation
PastyPatryk accepted the invitation
Tordylock: What's this?
RingoJingo: I want to talk about Tom
Tordylock: What's up with him?
(guys i'm not gonna repeat everything i said in the PM between Edd and Patryk, just guess how it goes down lmao)
RingoJingo: so... we kinda want your opinion on it
Tordylock: Oh
Tordylock: Ok well I didn't mention this because I thought it was a "whatever" thing but
Tordylock: Tom had a bruise around his neck
Tordylock: it was really light and tbh I just assumed it was hickeys from his girlfriend or something but now that I think about it there's no way, cuz he's way to innocent to have anything like that happen willingly
Tordylock: and the more I think about it, the more I realize it looked like it was from hands
RingoJingo: what do you mean?
Tordylock: I mean, it looked like bruises from being choked
RingoJingo: CHOKED?
Tordylock: Yeah
RingoJingo: what the fuck!
Tordylock: I remember when I raised my hand, he flinched
Tordylock: He refused to look me in the eye
Tordylock: He was acting really nervous, especially when he didn't know what time it was
Tordylock: He had a split lip, too
Tordylock: God, how did I not notice this before?
Tordylock: I shouldn't have been so careless
Tordylock: He could be seriously hurt!
PastyPatryk: Tord, you can't blame yourself.
Tordylock: Yeah, I know.
Tordylock: But we need to talk to him about this, okay?
Tordylock: We can't let something like this happen
Tordylock: Not to Tom.
