After months of looking for an apartment tom had finally found one. It was lucky he did find it as he had to move out the same day. After messaging the person he grabbed his bag and begun to walk to the train station.
Once he arrived at the house he knocked on the door, it opened to reveal an elder woman who smiled and let him in. "Hi hunny, im kathy. What about you?"
T- "Oh uhm.. hello mrs kathy.. im tom"
K-"dont be silly tom, just call me kathy. uhm, is that the only bag you have hunny?"
T-" mhm.. i didnt really have any clothes that fit me.. the only ones i fit dont really match my age.. "
Standing at only 3'8 tom knew he wasnt the height he shouldve been at his age but being neglected by his parents and not getting enough nutrients his body decided to stop growing,
K-" ah yes, you are small arent you. Well its alright i still have some clothes from when my son was a toddler"
T-"i- uhm thanks i guess"
K-" follow me, ill take you to your room"
T-" okie"
As they walked upstairs they arrived infront of a baby blue door. Tom gave kathy a confused look but she just smiled and grabbed his bag. Once she opened the room tom was shocked to see how it was styled for a toddler.
The floor was a soft fluffy baby gray colour, underneath the window was a changing tabled filled with changing supplies to the right was a blue wardrobe with clowds and dragons painted on it. In the corner of the room was a toy box and ontop of the toybox was a fluffy looking brown teddy bear. To the left was a white wooden bed with sky themed sheets on. On the side of the bed were railings that went up and down so nothing could get in or out.
K-" im sorry about the decoration, i never got around to redecorating after my son went to live with his dad."
T-" oh.. its alright"
K-" never mind, im sure youll be able to fit in the bed and we can always leave the bars down"
T-" uhm, if its alright i could just sleep on the couch?"
K-" theres no way im letting you sleep on an uncomfortable couch like that, theres no chance of you getting sleep if you tried to sleep on it"
T-" oh, okay.."
K-" now why dont you get changed into some pjamas and we can get you some dinner then its bedtime okay?"
T-" okay"
A few minutes later tom had gotten dressed and made his way downstairs and into the kitchen. After eating his dinner (dino nuggets and smiley face potatos) kathy begun to walk towards him. She grabbed his hand and led him upstairs.
K-" cmon hunny, time for bed"
T-" u-uh.. isnt it abit early?"
K-" not at all, the walls are really thin and i am i light sleeper, so if you need anything just shout me. Okay?"
T-" mkay.. thankyou mrs kathy"
K-" now tom, what did i say?"
T-" m'sorry mrs ka- i mean- kathy.."
K-" there we go buddy, theres no need for the mrs"
T-" sorry"
K-" no need to apologise now go get in bed, and if you hear a crinkle, its just a matress protector thats on from when my son used to wet the bed"
T-" okay"
Tom climbed into bed and heard the crinkle of the protective sheet. He laid down in bed and kathy walked over and tucked him in, they both said goodnight and she turned the light off and left.
