This is different

The doors opened and Will got out the car, Toby following.

They waited at the curb, unsure of what to do as Cara knocked on the door.

"C'mon." Cara said, gesturing for them to stand beside here.

The door opened.

Toby stared up at the large house. It was pretty and quite big.

It was nicer than he'd ever lived in.

Cara was talking to a blonde man and a dark haired woman walked into the doorway beside him.

"C'mon Tobs. Let's go meet these new people ok?"

"I'm scared. What if their like dad?"

"Their not gonna be like dad tobs." Will said, crouching down.

"But dad seemed all nice on the outside."

"Yes but i know these people are gonna be nice. C'mon, if anything i should be the scared one?"

"Why?"

"Tobs, you called that line all by yourself. Your the reason we're here and the reason we don't have to deal with Dad." Will said.

"Hm."

"Now let's be brave and you can see that these people are nice."

Will lead Toby too the door and stood beside Cara.

"And here they are. Willow, Toby, this is Phil and Kristin."

"It's... Will." Will said uncertainly.

"Oh sorry. Anyway, i'll get your stuff from the car. Do you want me to stay a bit?"

"Uh no i think we're fine." Will said.

"Ok, be right back."

"Hi." Phil said, waiving.

Will stepped back slightly.

"Sorry- uhm, i'm Phil, This is Kristin. Uhm we've got some stuff ready for you and we're excited to have you were." Phil smiled welcomingly.

"Right, here you go." Cara said, handing a bag to Will. "Oh and theres my number if you need me." She said, handing him a card. "I'm sure you won't."

They waved goodbye.

"Bye Puffy." Phil called.

They led the boys inside to the living room.

"Uhh we can show you where your rooms are but if you just wanna walk around the house and get used to it thats fine." Phil said.

"Maybe just stay here for a bit." Will said, looking at Toby.

Toby nodded, still clinging to Will.

"TOMMY GIVE MY CROWN BACK!"

Toby flinched and Will held him tight.

A blonde kid ran into the room, holding a golden plastic crown onto his head.

He stopped in the middle of the room.

"Oh."

"You little bitch, get back- oh hi." Another kid ,who looked Will's age, said stopping next to he first kid.

Phil sighed, head in his hands.

"Tech, Tom this is-"

Will knelt down to be at eye level with Toby. "Hey, it's ok. I got you Tobs. They're not gonna hurt you." He whispered.

"Sorry." The younger kid said.

Kristin knelt beside Will and looked at Toby.

"Hey, don't worry, they're not gonna hurt you ok? They were just playing."
