~~The Next Day~~

Tord woke up in his room, dreading coming out. Tord didn't need the bandages on his neck anymore, they were just there because his skin there was a different shade from the rest. The small male gave a heavy sigh before pulling himself off his new bed. He threw on his normal red hoodie that had rips and tears in it. He threw on some ripped skinny black jeans, putting his eyepatch back on.

He looked himself once in the full body mirror that had been put in his room the day prior. He averted his eyes from the torturing glass that showed things he didn't like. He trudged out of his room, looking both ways. He didn't want to run into Tom again. He walked slowly in case Tom came around the corner again.

He went into the kitchen slowly, "H-hey Edd. Is Tom up yet-" His eye's landed on a grouchy male that sat at the table. The blue male snickered, "Obviously." The Norski looked over at Edd, "I uh.. I'll wait till people are done.." He attempted to slink back out of the kitchen before Matt said, "What? There's plenty of room. Why don't you eat with us?"

The smaller male cringed, knowing he was acting weird. He just didn't want to be near Tom. He turned around slowly, walking back toward the table. He sat down across from Tom, keeping his gave at the table. He could feel the wide smirk Tom had on his face.

A plate of eggs and bacon was set in front of the Norski. The Norski looked up at Edd in confusion, no one else had bacon. The green comrade just gave a warm smile, going back over to the stove.

The Norski glanced up at Tom, seeing him stare at him. The smaller males cheeks heated up slightly. His glance was directed at Edd who started talking, "Oh. Tom. Just remember you can't have any Smirnoff. Okay?" The Jehovah smirked at Tord, "Don't worry. I already found something to distract me from that."

𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭.. The Norski thought, looking back down at his food.

He ate the food that was given to him and got up quickly. "Thank you Edd for the food. I'm going back to my room.." He scurried away, heading to his room. He was about to shut the door before Tom squeezed through his door.

"Uh, T-Tom.. This is my room. Please get out." He said holding his door open for Tom. The taller male grabbed the door and shut it. "Tom.. What are you-" Before the smaller male could finish his question he yelped to the pain of being slammed against the wall hard.

"W-wait Tom.. I-I don't want-" The smaller male's breathing hitched to the feeling of a hand squeezing his throat. "Do you really think you have a fucking choice after betraying us?" The taller boy sneered.

"B-but Tom.. This-" The smaller boy was cut off by being thrown to the ground. "Don't you dare fuckin talk to me like you know more than me." The boy on blue kicked the ribs of the smaller male out of spite, getting a small yelp from the pained boy.

"Learn your place before I 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 you." The taller male growled, leaving the pained male, writhing on the floor of his own room.

The smaller male coughed a dry cough before crawling his way to his bed. "I'm.. Sorry..." He whispered softly. He leaned his back against the foot of his bed, sitting on the floor. He felt the ache in his chest and winced. He felt a thick blood dripping from his mouth, filling his taste buds with copper. He sighed softly, "This sucks. I fucked up even coming back..."

He looked down at his mitchmatch hands, touched his scars with his real hand. "I fucked up my whole life, huh.." The small male looked around his room, not seeing many items that were actually his. '𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵.. 𝘌𝘥𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘛𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵, 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵..? 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸.'

The small male clutched his aching ribs and struggled to stand. He used the bed frame to brace himself as he stumbled to his dresser. "I'm sorry.. So. So. Sorry.." He continued to mumble apologies as he grabbed all his possessions and stuffed them in a bag. He crept open his door and slipped out, trying to be silent. 

He ran into the chest of Edd, "Tord? What are you doing?" The Norski looked up at the green comrade and tried to think of a lie. "Uh, My parents wanted me to visit. I'll be back soon!" 

Edd didn't believe a single word that came out of Tord's mouth, "Tord, you just got back. Why do you want to leave already?" He heard another set of footsteps coming from behind him. He felt an arm sling around his neck, slightly choking him. "Oh, He's not leaving. He was just joking, right Tord?" The bitter tone of Tom, sent chills down Tord's spine.

The smaller male gave a noticable gulp before answering, "Uh. T-tom.." The younger male winced to the feeling of Tom's finger's digging into his injury. He hated that his injury was being used against him. 

Edd was confused on the show that was happening infront of him. Tord had a sudden urge of confidence, "Tom, let go." The Jehovah reluctantly let go and stood close enough that Tord could still feel his breath. He could feel the tension and anger build up in Tom and he instantly regretted his decisions. 

The small male then grabbed his green comrades arm and pulled him to the green painted room, pushing past Tom and ignoring Edds questions. As soon as the door was shut Tord looked over at his confused friend, "Uh. Want to catch up?"

The confused male stared at Tord like he just went mad or something, "Uhh.... Sure....?" The Norski obviously was nervous, probably expecting Tom to burst in and strangle him or something.
