The future of Red Leader - TordTom

The past PT 2

PT 2 FINALLY HERE! and yes that roblox ban was real *cries*

Riley's actions confused Tom. He wasn't sure if it was real or not. He brushed it off and headed to the living room with his milkshake. As he walked into the living room, he saw Riley. Riley was alone on the couch.

Tom backed up a little bit. "Where are the others?" Tom asked, confused.

 "They went upstairs to their rooms. They told me to tell you to join them upstairs to play Mario Kart with them." Riley replied, watching TV.

  "Well... Why not join us then?" Tom asked, looking at Riley in the eyes.

  "Does it look like they want me upstairs Tom? They don't. They just asked me to tell YOU to join them while I'm here all BY MYSELF.

 Tom felt a pang in his heart. He wanted to make sure Riley was included and he didn't want him to feel left out.

  "Why don't you come upstairs with us, Riley?" He asked. But Riley wasn't having it.

 "They even thought YOU made the milkshakes when I told them I was gonna make us all milkshakes. You don't understand, Tom. They told me that they would never leave me out but now look at them. They started acting like this ever since Matt joined the group. They go to places without me. They all hung out without me. They did almost everything. Without me." Riley spoke, having no emotion. 

"I-.. I'm so sorry, Riley." Tom said, looking away and also getting cut off.

"Ju57 g0, 7h0m45."

 Tom heard it again. He looked back where Riley was and saw that he was not there anymore. He blinked once more and Riley was still not there. Tord went downstairs to check on Tom. He noticed Tom was standing there shocked.

 "What happened, Tom?" Tord asked.

"R-R-Riley was just o-on the couch.- and he j-j-just-.. Tom replied as he got cut off by Tord. 

"Riley left to study his history test while you were making the milkshakes..?" 

"What do you mean...? He was j-just here..!" Tom spoke staring at the couch.

 "Tom he left a few minutes ago, your mind is probably going crazy," Edd spoke, walking down the stairs with Matt. 

"W-What..? But..!" Tom said getting cut off once again.

"Tom I think you need some rest you should probably head out soon," Matt said, cutting Tom off.

 "Maybe your right. My mind is playing tricks on me..." He spoke, grabbing his belongings.

Edd, Matt, and Tord are outside. waving goodbye to Tom as he walked away.

 As Tom is walking, he feels like someone is watching him. So he turns around and he finds nothing. So he shrugged it off and turned back around to walk home. Tom felt the same feeling as he continued to walk home. So he turned around once again and found nothing. He didn't feel safe so he grabbed his headphones and turned on some music. As Tom got to his house, he felt the same feeling. So he turned back one more time and found nothing. No one was following him. So he went inside his house. He walked to his room, putting his bag down. Tom then changed his clothes to more comfortable clothes. He felt the same feeling again but this time he ignored it. He hopped onto his bed, made himself comfortable, and turned the TV on. Tom slowly fades to sleep as the noise that is coming out of the TV gets quieter and quieter.

Tom woke up realizing he was not in his room anymore. "Hello..?" Tom yelled out. "Is anyone there..?" Tom yelled louder. Tom can't see anything but the darkness. He looked around and saw someone. "Hello..?" Tom said quietly. 

"4H, 1 533 Y0UR H3R3 700 7H0M45. V3RY W311! 17 W45 G3771NG QU137 10N13Y H3R3." 

Tom was shocked. "R-Riley..?" Tom spoke.

 "Y35, Y0UR PR0B4B1Y W0ND3R1NG WH3R3 Y0UR 47. Y0U 4R3 1N 7H3 V01D. 7H15 15 WH3R3 1 U5U411Y H4NG BY MY531F BU7 1'M QU173 5URPR153D Y0UR H3R3." Riley spoke, glitching. 

"Why am I here? I was just sleeping in my room!?.." Tom panicked. 

"7H15 15 WH47 H4PP3N5 WH3N Y0U G37 5 1UC1D DR34M 4ND Y0UR D347H B3C0M35 4 MY573RY." Riley says as his glitches start to slow down. "I've always had them.."

 Tom was confused about what Riley just said. 

"Anyways, this is my home. whenever the others go on adventures without me. I usually dream about a mystery death and I end up here." Riley said as he began to walk forward. 

Tom tries to keep up with Riley's pace. "But why would they do that..?" Tom asked.

 "Because "I'm overprotective." Because "I make the adventures not fun." Because "I tell them what's right or wrong." No wonder Tord got hurt that one time... And then they just blamed me for staying quiet during the adventure." Riley clenched his fists while looking down. "17'5 N07 F41R!" Riley yelled as he stomped his foot onto the ground, making the void turn white. 

Tom looked around, taking a step back.

 "Don't worry, Thomas. We're still in the void." Riley turned around, looking at Tom. "You look tired, I'm sorry for keeping you here longer than expected. I'll bring you back to reality." Riley said while he glitched. 

"No..! Wait.." Tom was already on his bed. "Damnit.. Why am I involved in this.." Tom looks at his alarm. "SH!T, I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL. HOW LONG WAS I IN THE VOID?!" He yelled to himself, getting ready, grabbing his backpack, and running out of the house. As he was running he suddenly was at the school. "How did I.." He mumbled, getting cut off.

 "C4U53 0F M3." Riley said, walking to the school's field.

 "Oh... Uh. Thanks..?" Tom said as he followed Riley to the school's field.

 "This is where we would always play around during the break." Riley sat down on the grass. "We would talk about our future and stuff. Now it's just me here while the others are just.. somewhere... They never tell me where they are gonna have their break." Riley said silently as Tom sat down. "I know how your future is gonna turn out. Your future is that You're a secretary for Red Leader." Riley said, glaring at Tom. 

"W-Whose.. Red leader..?" Tom said, looking at Riley. 

"You'll find out later in life. Alas, This is gonna end in a minute"

"W-What's gonna end in a minute..?" Tom asked, concerned.

...

 Riley stood up and walked in front of Tom. "You should remember the letter I gave you, Tom. Find it and open it. There are clues to where I'm at. Do it before he-"

Tom woke up.

...

"Hey, min kjaere. How's your sleep?" Tord asked, sitting on the bed, smoking.

"W-What...?" Tom said silently. "You were asleep for like 5 hours. You looked like you needed it so I had Paul do your work today." Tord said putting his cigarette in the ashtray.

 "But I put the visor on you while you were asleep. I hope you don't mind." Tord said looking at Tom.

 "Wait, you did?" Tom touched his face, feeling a visor over his eyes.

 "Yeah, 'cause it would make you have LOTS of pain while you were awake. Some wires had to connect to your brain so... Tomorrow you'll work again. Also, I forgot to mention. I have a meeting tomorrow with the government you'll be taking the notes alright, Tom?" Tord spoke.

 "Yes, sir," Tom said, still thinking about the dream he had.
