A few hours later, you wake up. You're laying in Edd's bed and you're awfully close to him. You quickly sit up and scoot away. You grab your phone and check the time. 3:16 AM. You look at Edd, he's still asleep.
You sigh and lean back. You're about to fall back asleep when you hear a noise from the front door. You try to ignore it, but eventually you just can't. You look at Edd and shake him awake. He looks at you and sits up slightly. "What is it..?" He asks quietly.
"There's a noise coming from the front door." You say quietly. Just then, a loud thud is heard. You jump slightly and look at the door. Edd stands up and walks to the bedroom door. He peaks his head out into the hall while you stay in bed.
You watch as Edd slowly walks down the hall to Matt's room. You stay in bed with no idea on what's going on. You see Edd come out of Matt's room with Matt. Matt rushes to Edd's room as Edd follows him. "Edd? What's going on?!" You ask frantically.
"Lower your voice, okay? It will hear you." Edd whispers. "What's it" you ask as quietly as you can. "Don't worry about it, okay?" Edd says. You nod slightly and climb out of bed. You slowly walk to Edd and Matt.
You soon bear something outside the door. You look between Edd and Matt. You thought someone broke in, or maybe it was Tom coming home from the bar? You just didn't know. The sound soon stops and everything goes quiet. You all stay still and say nothing.
The silence is broken by a noise, bit this time it's different. It sounds like somebody stumbling around in the hall, and then a thump. You watch as Edd opens the door. You peak your head around him so you can see...
Tom?
Tom's just, sitting there on the ground, obviously drunk. His hoodie is torn slightly. You walk over to him. "Tom? What happened?" You ask.
Tom looks at you and groans as he leans back. "Some dude pissed me off at the bar." He says. You look at Edd and Matt. You were all tired, so you decide it's best to deal with this tomorrow.
You go to the living room and lay on the couch, despite Edd saying multiple times that you could sleep in his bed. Eventually he gives up and he goes to his room. You close your eyes and fall asleep.
----
A few hours later you wake up and wait for the others. Once everyone is awake, you gather in the living room. "Okay, Tom. What happened yesterday?" Edd asks. Tom thinks for a moment and shrugs.
"Not sure, this guy at the bar just really pissed me off." He says.
"Okay.. but did you NOT see that monster?" Edd asks. Tom looks away. "Tom?" You say.
"Guys, I've got to tell you something." Tom says. You watch as Tom turns to face the three of you.
"That monster.. was me" he says.
You and Edd just stare at him for a few seconds. "What?!" You say, confused. "I don't know, okay?" Tom says. "It's just something I've always done when I'm mad, I can't help it."
You and Edd look at each other.
Everyone was silent. Matt wasn't paying attention, so oh well on that. You're about to say something but then you remember Bob. "I'm sorry, I have to feed Bob." You say as you stand up and walk out.
----
You get home and feed Bob. You watch him eat and get things to clean his bowl. You put Bob in a temporary tank while you quickly clean everything in his tank. Once it's filled with water again, you gently put Bob back in.
You walk to your living room and sit down on your couch. You close your eyes and try to not think about anything.
