Tom's Tears

|CHAPTER SIX|

Edd and Matt in their cells heard footsteps approaching. They imediantly felt horrified.

Liam reached to the bottom as he muttered. "Fuck, it's so dark down here. Isn't it?"

Edd and Matt share a glance towards each other when they heard the Russian voice.

"'Ello...?" Matt hesitantly spoke up but clamped his mouth shut when they noticed the five foot soldier approach them.

"Hi." Liam barred his teeth. He had small canines as he pulled up a chair that was in the corner of the dungeon.

He dragged it as he takes a seat into it. Crossing his legs as he rested his hands on his chin. Elbows resting on his knees that are slightly exposed by the rips and holes in his black jeans.

"Who are you..?" Matt squeaked out as he felt goosebumps litter his purple covered sleeved arms.

"Liam." The soldier replied to the clueless ginger. He clicked his tongue as he stated this memory.

"I don't know if you two recall of memory but I was Tord's boyfriend at one point." Liam informed as his eyes darted slowly at the two's cells.

Edd widened his eyes in surprise. "That's you?! Oh my– bloody hell! What are you doing here?!" He exclaimed with a shocked expression.

"I work here. Obviously." Liam hissed in reply as he leaned back in the chair. "Once I got out of jail from domestic abuse towards that communist-fucker, I eventually got kidnapped by some others that work here." He briefly explained.

"Then..? Why didn't you try to escape?" Edd asked as he bit the inside of his cheek from the hesitation of his voice cracking.

"Couldn't." Liam replied simply as he leaned forward to continue the conversation with the prisoners.

"Well – i– okay, uhh– I tried one time." Liam stammered out as he lets out a nervous laugh.

Edd and Matt listen with curious expressions on there faces.

"That time went horribly. I got dragged back and tortured for countless months by Tord. Which I mean, I understand very well. I abused him when we were in a relationship. Physically and emotionally. When we– uh– lived in your house Edward."

Edd was about to speak up but Liam continued. "–Then, I found out my childhood best friend. Brandon. He works here. And I decided to give in and stay because of that."

"Do you regret hurting Tord?" Edd hesitantly asked. Liam shrugged his shoulders at this.

"I don't know anymore." Liam responded but fell quiet when he heard the door shut a little waze from them.

Brandon appeared with a friendly grin on his face. He gave Liam a little wave. "Hiya! Been awhile since we have seen each other!" He greeted in a German accent.

"Bran-Bran!" Liam stumbled out of the chair as he hugged the six foot tall German soldier.

Edd and Matt sigh out in awkwardness as they scooted back in their cells.

Brandon hugged Liam back in return. "We have to watch the prisoners tonight. Apparently Tor–Red Leader has some unfinished business to attend too."

Edd and Matt widen their eyes at this. They knew the two soldiers are discussing about Tom.

But they kept this thought to themselves as they sighed in exhaustion.

They stayed up for hours, they needed their rest.

"Head to rest, I advise." Liam sneered towards Edd and Matt. Which the two nodded in agreement and literally laid on the floor.

They fell asleep within minutes.
Allowing Liam and Brandon to guard and watch without any distractions.
