*Tucker's PoV* -Next morning-

I woke up this morning with a stabbing pain in my back and a sore neck, but none of that mattered because I still had Sonja in my arms.
"This is perfect" I whispered to myself, Sonja must have heard me because she started to move around.
"Tuckerr?" I heard a quiet voice ask
"Morning Beautiful" I whispered into Sonja's ear, "Whatcha want for breakfast?"
"Aspirin? My back is killing me" (Is aspirin even the right medicine??) I laughed at that, but aspirin did sound nice at this point.
"Okay just let me-" I start to say only to be interrupted by my phone
BUZZ BUZZ
"Are you gonna get that?" Sonja questioned
BUZZ BUZZ
"It's not important I'm sure, anyway it's only a few texts" I moaned
"Tuckerrr! Just check your phone!"
I groaned as I picked my phone up and unlocked it. It was important.
"What is it?" I heard Sonja ask
"I'm not sure, Tom's texts aren't making sense.." I lied.. Well, I half lied. The texts weren't making sense.. but I knew what was going on. I decide I should text Tom back.

Tommm: TUCKER COME HOME
Tommm: TUCKER I'M NOT JOKING
Tommm: TUCKER HE'S GOING! I NEED TO LEAVE
Me: Tom.. You aren't making sense. Who's going?

It seems acting dumb is the way I'm going with this

Tommm: MY GRANDAD I HAVE TO GO BACK TO ENGLAND
Me: Tom, slow down, what's wrong with him, skype me and Sonja, NOW

"This isn't good" I mumble to myself
"What isn't good? Tucker? You're scaring me.."
"It's Tom... His-" I tried to explain but I was cut off by Skype ringing(Again.. is that even right?) "Okay Sonj, just.." I pause and breathe out "Don't worry please?" I whisper before picking up the call.
"Tom..." I hear Sonja whisper
Tom looked terrible.. His light blue hair messy and greasy. His normally sparkling brown eyes were dull, red and puffy and he had dark bags under his eyes. It obviously pained Sonja to see Tom like this, he was always the one to comfort her if I had been a jerk or if she was just feeling down and I wasn't around.
"Hey Sonj..." Tom whispered, he sounded exhausted, "And you too Tucker of course" He laughed weakly
"Tom..." Sonja whispered again, it seemed to be all she could say. In a way that was better than what I was saying, nothing. I couldn't muster any words, I could barely even organise thoughts.
"Well this is cheery int' it" Tom laughed again, it amazes me how even in-undoubtedly-his worst times he still manages to laugh and to try and make us smile.
"Tom..." Sonja muttered, she looked worse than Tom did now. Her skin was sickly pale and she looked like she could burst into tears any minute.
Tom just simply laughed "Yes Sonja? Yes I am Tom, Well Done" He said clapping his hands like a child.
"Tom..? What's going on bud?" I said, I thought that we should probably find out what was actually wrong rather than sit here in silence.
"Well..." He said breathing out, "My grandad's been sick for a while but they thought he might last until I went home next month but" Tom was starting to stall... He was starting to cry.. "B-but hhhe's not.." Tom was breaking down now.. I had never seen him like this but I suppose if it was your grandad, the first person to support your career, you would be devastated.
"Shh... Tomm... Shh.." Sonja soothed, her voice like smooth caramel, "It's okay Tom... We're here now"
Tom sighed, "I have to go home.."

~\~\~\~ AN

Short-ish chapter, I still have writers block and can't think of how to move the story on.. :/ But on the bright side I might make another book but it'd mean that the updates for this book are even slower than they are now :/
