: ??? Far From Home『TF2 x Reader』

I woke up peacefully in the morning, my sleep wasn't interrupted by loud bangs nor did I hear any of the mercs yelling. It felt off but I also felt grateful that I got to sleep in without being woken up, I felt uncomfortable in my dirty clothes but I knew the machine would be fixed at some point tomorrow and that I would be back home, so I decided that I will cope with the filth for now.

I instinctively reached for my phone, switching it on and smiling down at the screen. I was so happy to have it back but I was also slightly irritated that my privacy had been totally violated by Spy; it made me feel more gross than these unclean clothes did.

I unlocked my phone and saw that I had exactly 57 missed calls, surprisingly some of them were actually from my parents, but the vast majority came from Martha.

I saw that I had tons of missed messages from different social media's, I opened the main one I used, seeing Martha at the very top. I noticed that she had been messaging me everyday since I went missing, I tapped on our conversation, seeing it from the first message she had sent on the night I had went missing from the apartment.

'Y/n, I looked for you all around the bar and you weren't there, would've been nice to have a text or communication if you were leaving'

A message around half two in the morning after that night said:

'Fine if you wanna stay out but then again could you please let me know so I know you're alright?'

I scrolled looking at more and more of her messages and one stuck out to me.

'I've got in contact with your parents and phoned the police, please let me know you're alright. The neighbourhood is looking for you and since it's been over the 48 hour period people think you're dead. Please come home Y/n.'

Just as I was about to close the chat the icon next to Martha's profile turned green saying that she was online. She had seen that I had now seen the message and was typing.

'What the fuck?' Before I could reply immediately I received a phone call.

I freaked out hesitant to answer but I knew at this point I couldn't just let it ring and escape talking with her.

I pushed up the phone and nervously said. "Hi."

"Don't you dare 'HI' me!" She quickly snapped back. "Where the fuck have you been? You've had search parties looking for you and people starting to assume the worst!" From my end she sounded really pissed.

I didn't know what to say or even how to respond, if I spoke the truth to Martha she's probably think that I had gone insane, I was debating with myself whether to convince her or not as her voice broke the silence. "Y/n are you even listening to me, where are you?!"

"Out of town."

"And you haven't even informed work!? Your regulars have been asking about you and your parents have been worried sick!"

When I processed my next choice of words I realised the lack of thought that went into them."Well after i saw your obvious flirting with Darren, I said fuck no to being your roommate and moved to another town." I never expected myself to be lead by my emotions with what I said, immediately scolding myself after it came out of my mouth.

Martha replied. "Excuse me!? What are you even talking about?"

I groaned. "I saw the way you were flirting with Darren and had completely forgot about me."

"Y/n that's not what happened at all!" Martha began. "Darren and I accidentally bumped into each other that night and we were just exchanging pleasantries." Something about Martha's voice made me not trust her.
