Tord stared at his bed sheets in complete silence. No sound was heard in his room besides the muffling chatter of Edd, Matt and Tom in the background. His face clearly stressed and eye bags with dried tears on his face, his cheeks red and puffy. His hair roughed up, scent reeked of alcohol. Ryan awkwardly sat there just messing around with the multiple pieces of paper on Tord's desk that caused him to have a mental breakdown.

He was so confused as to why Tord broke down on the sight of these ripped up pieces of paper but he saw that there were letters on it, so he assumed it was some kind of letter.

"So, what's your favorite color?"
"..."
"Favorite food?"
"..."
"Favorite song?"
"..."
"Favorite-"
"Can you just- let me be sad?" Tord said, looking back up at Ryan. "Well what do you want me to do? Just sit here and listen to you cry? I think not. Why are you even crying?" Tord exhaled sharply. "Are we..."

Ryan tilted his head a bit. "Are we what?" "Are we friends?" Ryan smiled. "Oh no of course not. I'm just here." Tord frowned and Ryan noticed. "I was kidding! If you wanna be friends then sure! I don't really know what it's like to have friends though, last time I had a friend was back in middle school."

Tord faced Ryan, that got his attention. "Really? Wow that is so sad." Ryan chuckled. "Yeah yeah, I know." Tord thought for a moment. "Do you wanna see what it's like to have a friend? I have-" Tord cut himself off. "Used to, I used to have 3 friends, I'll show you what we would do and do some of our own things!" Ryan smiled, "sure! When?" Tord got up and stretched. "Now."

As they made their way to the door, the other three were looking in their direction. "Where are you guys goi-" the door shut before Edd could even finish. Tom stared at the door in thought, but shook it off and continued talking.

Ryan had a blast, Tord was showing his little smile, his eye bags still clear to be seen. Ryan with a huge grin, and Tord forcing himself to fake this whole thing for Ryan. He rode a horse today, that's good.

It's been weeks, Ryan would always come over to hang with Tord while Tord would make sure that he isn't gonna break down while he's there, he wants Ryan to have a perfect experience hanging out with his first friend in years. It wasn't good for Tord's mental state, holding every tear, every negative emotion in.

What's happening again? Oh yeah, I just got home. I'm so tired, when was the last time I slept? I've been going out a lot. Where are Edd, Matt and Tom? Where am I again?

Tord walked into his room lazily, his arms hanging on his side and his posture bent. He looked on his desk and saw the little pieces of paper.

What was on my list again?
