Chapter 8: Everything and Everyone
Since the fight, Thomas never came out of the guest bedroom. Sherman came out of his room and walked into the living room and saw Mr. Peabody weeping on the couch. Sherman then walked over to Peabody and touch his back. Peabody jump as he turned and looked at Sherman who was sitting next to him. Sherman first noticed that Peabody's eyes were bloodshot red from crying so much. "Are you alright Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked almost about to cry himself from seeing his father this way. "Yes I'm…. Alright Sherman… I'll get dinner started in a second. Why don't you go get washed up," Peabody said with a sniff and forcing a smile.
Sherman knew Mr. Peabody wasn't really alright but he had to make the best of it. "Okay Mr. Peabody," Sherman said as he stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Peabody sat there for a moment before forcing himself up and heading for the kitchen. Peabody walked passed the guest bedroom almost knocking but stopping himself from doing so. Peabody knew that since from his fight it's now going be even harder to get through to Thomas. Peabody then forced himself into the kitchen and started making dinner.
Thomas sat against the door as he tears started to become dry. Thomas then picked himself off the ground and walked over to the bathroom that was in the room. Thomas then washed his face and and dried it after he was done. Thomas then walked out of the bathroom and laid on the bed and turned the TV on. Everything was going okay for the most part until the TV started to get a video call. Thomas at first didn't want to answer because he knew it was Peabody, but something in the inside knew he just had to answer. Thomas press the answer button on the remote and Peabody's faces appeared on the screen.
"What do you want?" Thomas asked sitting up in the bed. Peabody cleared his throat before answering. "Thomas would you please come out here and have dinner?" Peabody asked in a soft kind voice. Thomas puffed and shook his head. "Why should I?" Thomas snapped back. Peabody knew this was going to be a long shot but he still wanted to try. "Because you need to eat and I want to talk you about what was said," Peabody explained. Thomas looked down and started think. "Maybe I should just try again," Thomas said to himself. Thomas looked back up at Peabody and nodded. "Alright I'll come out," Thomas answered.
"Splendid!" Peabody cheered as the video call ended. As the video call ended, Thomas shook his head. "Round two," Thomas said as he opened the door and walked out into the kitchen. The family of three sat down at the table and started eating with no talking at all. Thomas ate his food with his head lowered and eyes focused on his food. Peabody noticed this and wanted to start a conversation. "So… Um…. What other things did you guys do today other than go to the office?" Peabody asked. Thomas and Sherman both looked up at Peabody. "Really that's all you have to say?" Thomas asked taking a bite of his food. "Well… I mean…. Never mind," Peabody said as he takes a drink of his water.
"So… Mr. Peabody how did you meet Thomas's mom?" Sherman asked. Peabody then choked on his water as he puts it down. Peabody then looks at Sherman in surprise. "Sherman I don't think we need to go there right now," Peabody said as he started to breath normal. "No I want to know," Thomas spoke up now very interested in his father's and mother's past. Peabody then turned and looked at Thomas. "What?" Peabody asked. Thomas chuckled as he wiped his mouth with napkin. "You once told you loved her. But what happened to that? What made you leave us?" Thomas asked. Peabody could feel his face get hot and his heart pump faster. "Thomas this isn't the time and place for this. I will tell you about that later but right now it's dinner time," Peabody said trying to keep calm.
Thomas chuckled again. "Cut to the chase Peabody I know you know more than what you're telling me, other wise I wouldn't be born today." Thomas said leaning forward. "Thomas please… Don't not right now." Peabody beged. Thomas shook his head. "Peabody. There's a time and a place for everything and everyone now tell!" Thomas raised his voice as he stood up and slams both of his hands on the table. Peabody had tears falling from his muzzle as he looked into Thomas's two different colored eyes. "Thomas I think you should stop!" Sherman raised his voice as he stood up and stood next to Peabody, putting his right hand on the white beagle's shoulder. "What? your on his side on this?" Thomas asked.
Sherman hesitated for a moment with his eyes lowered down. Sherman then looked up and took a deep breath. "Yeah! Because he's my dad!" Sherman said crossing his arms. Thomas chuckled while shaking his head. Peabody sat there speechless with both of his sons at war. Thomas turned around and looked out the window of the city streets. Thomas then ran his fingers through his hair and sighed as turned around and faced Peabody and Sherman. "Then I'm glad that he still has someone like you next to him. Because the one person I loved is no longer by my side." Thomas said swallowing hard. There was silence for a few seconds until Thomas spoke up again. "I wish the best luck to both you then," Thomas said as he started speed walking towards the living room.
"What?" Peabody said as he jumped up from his seat and followed Thomas in the living room with Sherman right behind him. "Don't think you're leaving this house!" Peabody shouted as he started walking faster. "And don't think you're following me either!" Thomas shot back as he press the button of the elevator to go down. "Thomas! I said you're not leaving!"Peabody shouted as he grabbed Thomas's leg and tried to pull him back in the penthouse. "Get off of me!" Thomas shouted as he pushed off Peabody making him land on his back. "Mr. Peabody!" Sherman said as he ran over to his father and helped him back up. Peabody weakly stood up and tried to make to the elevator doors to stop Thomas from Leaving."Thomas! Wait!" Peabody shouted trying to get to the elevator. "I told you I didn't know me!" Thomas said as the elevator doors closed. "No!" Peabody shouted as ran into the elevator closed doors.
"No!" Peabody slamming his paws against the elevator door until they started to bleed. "Mr. Peabody stop!" Sherman said as he ran over to his father and tried to stop him from making his paws worse. Sherman then grabbed Peabody away from the elevator but struggled as Peabody kept shouting "No" and started freaking out while crying. "Mr. Peabody it's okay it's just me it's Sherman!" Sherman shouted as Peabody started to calm down. Peabody turned and cried into Sherman's arms as Sherman held him. "It's okay Mr. Peabody He'll come back I know he will," Sherman said as Peabody continued to cry.
Thomas walked up to some old apartment buildings in a dark neighborhood. Thomas then knocked on the door of one of his best friends house. The door opened to a big surprise for Thomas's friend in fact both of his best friends . "Thomas? What are you doing here?" asked Thomas's friend. "Hey Austyn. I need to place to stay for a few days," Thomas said crossing his arms. "Thomas! it's been a while!" Jodie Thomas's other best friend said as she ran up to him and gave him hug. "Where have you been bro? Come in" Austyn said moving out of the way so Thomas could come inside. "It's a long story," Thomas as while walking in.
