One Way Ride (TomxReader) [Eddsworld]

Chapter 7

You were sitting on the edge of the bathtub as your dad stood behind you, getting the glass out of your back. You wince and ball up your fist. He had almost gotten all of the shards out but it still hurt like a bitch. He had bandaged every wound after cleaning it and making sure that there was nothing in them. You hear a knock on the door.

"Yes?"

You hear the door slightly open and hear toms voice.

"I got that shirt you asked for"

Your dad moves away from you for a second and grabs it.

"Thank you, we are almost done"

You hear the door shut and your dad gets back to work on your back. You wince and close your eyes tightly.

"Want to explain to me what happened"

"In my defense, Uncle Nathen left us both unsupervised and William kept being a sexist prick"

You hear him sigh and you could picture him shaking his head.

"But you can't just hit him"

"I may have had a few drinks as well but he got what was coming"

"You realize that if Nathen didn't get him under control you will be in more danger"

"Come on, you train me too well to get hurt"

"I trained your mother too but... Nothing always goes to plan.."

You both grew silent at the mention of your mother. It was always a sensitive subject for your father so you never brought it up. He clears his throat and pulls away from you.

"And we are down"

You turn around and stand up. Your dad hands you Tom's "Stay Safe" shirt and you put it on, it was slightly baggy but you didn't mind. Your dad grabs your shirt and suit jacket.

"I'll take these out to my car"

You nod and leave the bathroom and head to the living room. Tom, Edd, and another man with red hair were sitting on the couch. Tom looks over at you and pauses for a moment before shaking his head and smiling at you.

"Good to see you're not bleeding everywhere anymore"

You chuckle and run your hand through your hair, pulling it out of the way. The other man turns and looks at you then turns to Tom.

"Why is there a random stranger in our house."

Tom sigh.

"She's not a stranger, she's one of my friends"

The man looks at you and waves

"Hello Tom's friend"

"Hello Tom's roommate"

He looked at you, almost crushed.

"Yeah, it doesn't feel the best does it"

Tom chuckles and takes a swig from his flask. You decide to properly introduce yourself.

"I'm (Y/N)"

You put your hand out for Edd and the other one to shake.

"Nice to meet you"

Edd shakes your hand. You turn to the other man.

"My name is Matt"

He shakes your hand and you smile. You think then turn to Tom.

"You said you have 3 roommates right?"

"Yeah, Tord is out doing god knows what"

Your eyes widen when you hear Tords name. Edd looks at you with a confused expression.

"(Y/N)? Are you alright"

You look at him and then smile.

"Yeah, I just didn't know Tord was one of your roommates"

"You know Tord"

Tom looks at you. You nod and rub the back of your neck.

"Met him for business"

Tom looked at you with confusion but before he could say anything, your dad walks back in.

"Muffin I've got to go. Uncle Nathen needs my help."

You look at him and smile.

"I would give you a hug but-"

He runs over and kisses your forehead.

"I love you and I will see you later."

He runs out the door and you sigh.

"Muffin?"

"Shut up"

You look at Tom with a glare as a sly smile creeps onto his face. You roll your eyes and than sit down on the floor next to the couch.

"You can sit on the chair (Y/N)"

You look at edd and shake your head.

"I would but I don't want to lean back"

He nods and looks back at the TV. You were about to look a the TV when you heard a thud right in front of Edd. Your eyes land on a cat, which walks up into your lap and lays down. You look down at it and smile as it starts to purr. You gently stroke its soft silky fur.

Sometime later you were playing a game of Uno with the trio until your phone starts to ring. It's your dad. You pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Turn off your location. You can't go home"

"Why not?"

"Someone is out for you. They broke into your house but ran off when Nathen tried to get in"

You pull the phone from your ear and look at the guys.

"I'll be right back"

You head up to the bathroom and shut the door.

"Do you know who?"

"It's probably a goon from William"

You sigh and then lean back against the wall.

"Shit"
