? Falling Like the Stars ? | Tommyinnit ??

"Get up." Wilbur said tiredly as he walked into where the three teens were. Ryleigh jolted up after having one of her nightmares. She stood up and immediately walked off to the nearest bathroom, passing Wilbur on the way out. She tied her hair up knowing what was to come of this.

Ryleigh locked herself in the bathroom as she felt the bile rise in her throat. She emptied her stomach into the toilet in front of her having flashes of the nightmare replay in front of her eyes. It wasn't just a random nightmare, it was a nightmare she lived through which ultimately made it worse.

She soon walked out of the bathroom and into the room where the two boys were now wide awake, dressed, and talking. She picked up the folded black hoodie she wore hours prior. Ryleigh let the hoodie envelope her as she sat on Tubbo's bed quietly.

"Hey, Will said you looked pale as you left. Are you okay?" Tubbo asked softly. She nodded and stood to dig through her bag for her medicine. She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped at the contact.

"Sorry." Tommy apologized. "Didn't mean to scare you. Was gonna ask if you wanted to borrow another jumper." He said, caressing her shoulder gently. She nodded and he smiled at her before walking off to find his bag which seemed to not be in the room. Tommy closed the door behind him as he left.

"What happened? You don't ever jump like that." Tubbo asked in a stern but caring voice.

"I had another nightmare. Thats why i looked pale. Now i can't find my medicine and i know i packed it but if i left it then im fucked for the rest of the trip and nobody will want me here and-"

"Calm down, im sure you packed it. If not we can call mom and have them send the prescription to a pharmacy around here, alright? And even if you forgot it and you can't take it, nobody will mind. If they give you shit for it or if they aren't as patient then i'll take care of it. Don't stress; lets look and then go from there, okay?" She nodded and hugged Tubbo tightly.

"Im back." Tommy announced, walking into the room. She smiled as he threw her a hoodie.

"Can we look once im changed?" Ryleigh asked looking at Tubbo quizzically. He nodded and she grabbed her bag before walking back to the bathroom. She changed into a black tank top, Tommy's hoodie, and ripped jeans. She brushed her hair and braided it messily to keep it out of her face.

Ryleigh walked back into the room and Tubbo held up her medicine. She sighed in relief and smiled. Tubbo handed her a pill and a bottle of water.

"Apparently you did leave it and Mom gave it to Wilbur when he went inside to reassure them we'd be in good hands." She laughed and took the pill.

"CHILDREN WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!" Wilbur yelled.

"Mr. Soot is getting angry." Tubbo said before dragging the other two downstairs. Only then did she realize the small cat. She gasped and trailed off to sit on the floor and make it love her.

"Her medication needs to kick in. Let her be until it does." Tubbo said looking towards the girl who was sitting on the floor, petting the small cat. Dream came and sat next to her carefully with warning from Tubbo that she was on edge.

"Her name is Patches." He said to the amazed girl. She didn't seem phased that he had randomly sat next to her. Tubbo was glad she'd calmed down from her nightmare just an hour prior. He smiled as she was getting along with his friends.

"That's a pretty name, suits her." Ryleigh replied as the cat plopped in her lap.

"You're Tubbo's twin sister, correct?"

"Yes, identical twins. I assume thats why you asked. We look a lot alike?" She said, lifting her head to meet the older man's gaze. He smiled and nodded.

"Clay, we ready to go? We have so many people to pick up." George said just before looking up from his phone. "Bloody hell you look so much like Tubbo." He said as he took in the girl's appearance.

"And you look like his boyfriend, but i wont make more comments." She spoke quickly before covering her mouth. "Im sorry, my medication hasn't kicked in and i don't tend to think before i speak and that was so out of line, oh my god." She apologized.

"Don't- Don't wor-worry about it." The guy next to her said in between his gasps of laughter. The brunette man's face was red and he seemed very flustered.

"Ryleigh? I was gone for literally two minutes. The hell did you do?" Tubbo said, looking at the scene playing out in front of him. Clay seemed to be dying of laughter while George was pressing his hands to his face to make it less red.

"Please take me away until my medicine kicks in, Tubbo." She replied, standing up carefully once Patches had moved.

"Oh, oh Tubbo i love her." Clay said, finally catching his breath.

"Okay Ry, time to go. You've killed two grown men." Tubbo said, grabbing her wrist gently and leading her to where Tommy was. She laid her head on his shoulder which surprised him.

"She's embarrassed." Tubbo said with a small laugh seeing Tommy's confused look.

"Oh, okay." He replied with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her gently.

"Oh please dear heavens remind me not to talk to George. He might actually murder me." She said, her words being muffled by Tommy's shoulder.

"Awe, look Tommy's growing up." Wilbur said jokingly. Tommy rolled his eyes and nudged Ryleigh off of him. She stood up straight and stood next to Tubbo, suddenly feeling hurt by Tommy's action.

"We have some people to pick up. can i trust you lot here alone?" Wilbur asked the three. They all nodded.

"Okay so Bad should be here within the hour. Me and Niki are leaving to pick up Phil, Techno, and Ranboo in a few minutes. Sapnap has already left to pick up Skeppy, Eret, and Antfrost. George and Clay are picking up Quackity, Karl, and Fundy within the next twenty minutes."

"Will, were gonna be late!" Niki yelled from the front door.

"Be safe and don't leave the house please. If any of you are dead when we get back im taking you back before you can even say anything in response." Wilbur said before he dissipated out the door.

"So basically three sixteen year olds babysitting one another." Ryleigh commented. She scoffed and walked into the kitchen.

"Sorry about earlier by the way. My ADD medicine hadn't kicked in yet and i tend to speak before thinking. I really am sorry." She apologized. George smiled and accepted the apology though he really didn't mind.

"What are you making?"

"Anything my hands grab because i am that indecisive. Want something?" She asked whoever had asked her.

"No, i'll force Clay to get me something on the ride there. Speaking of which, YOU READY?!" George yelled. A loud yes came from a doorway down the hall. "Thank you though. If you need anything here's my number. He said, walking to her and handing her a paper. Ryleigh thanked him before the pair left and it was just the three teens alone in the rented out house.
