How time flies

Man nothing works..

That following day at work Tom had a plan.
As tom finished his shift he asked joey if he wanted to go out with paul and pat again because he remembered the night before they had stated tord would try to come the next time so it might be a great way to get tord out to see him.
Joey gladly agreed and went to ask paul and paul agreed but when pat showed up. No tord.
Tom was bummed out some but he knows tord well enough that tord will avoid it for a while or forever.
So he had to figure something else out.

—----------------------
Tom wrote a note for tord and made him lunch and the special coffee he used to and gave it to paul first thing to give it to one of the truck men to get it to tord.
Paul questioned him but Tom simply said he felt bad for tord never being able to join them for dinner so he made him lunch.
Paul smiled and said it would be nice for tord to have tom as a friend and tom swallowed his pride and agreed with him on the matter.

Tom wanted to be, he always did but tord didnt ever seem to want to since all he did was make fun of him.
Tom was nervous to hear back from Paul over the matter or hear from tord himself or if tord figured it out.
Tom was more scared of coming home to him in his room.

Also the thought of tord all bloody and wounded from the explosion.
It scared him.
Tom was so nervous when they headed out for dinner as they waited for Pat to show up.
As Tom watched the truck pull in and the door open, Tom felt his head spin, scared of what would come out of the truck.
But when he only saw pat get out he felt relieved but also sad.

He was bummed out at dinner and went home to think it over.
But he was also scared to walk in not knowing if he broke in because tord would do that.

Tom slowly unlocked the door and slowly popped his head in only seeing the usual mess of an apartment with pill bottles and smirnoff bottles everywhere.
He had the next few days off and Joey wanted to pop on over so it was about time he cleaned it.

Tom slipped into his apartment and changed his clothes after closely looking all around his apartment.
Tom gave up on looking because it looked clear and began throwing all the bottles in a garbage bag walking around his apartment cleaning.

Tom noticed he hardly had any dishes to begin with so there wasn't any to wash.
Tom did have a lot of laundry.
He groaned as he collected all of his clothes even if he thought it was clean because nothing was even put away so none of it could be.
The washroom was free since he paid extra for it when he pays rent. He just threw his clothes in an empty one and set a timer on his phone to come back and switch them over.

He got back to his room and cleaned all the tissues and took out his trash and looked at the timer. "20 min" Tom mumbled after reading his watch.
"I'll order a door dash I guess and eat while I wait...when it's done I'll switch it and go..groceries shopping.." which isn't normal for tom.
He either didn't eat or got doordash so Tom thought it was about time he stopped moping and got on with his life and fixed himself up.
