I had known Edd, Matt, and Tom for a few years as neighbors, but I was just kicked out of the house. I was hoping that they could let me stay at their house until I could get a house of my own. My parents were pissed at how long I had been there for, they were tired of feeding another mouth. I understood why but man, fucking rude.
I had clothes and stuff in a suitcase, my parents said that my stuff can stay at their house until I get a place of my own. I approached the familiar red door, giving it a couple good knocks. It opened to reveal a welcoming face.
"Hey (F/N)! Woah, you okay?" Edd asked. I touched my face and realized I was crying. I wiped them away quickly, I guess I didn't handle getting kicked out very well.
"I kinda got kicked out," I mumbled, "I was hoping I could stay here for a while until I get a place of my own." Edd nodded and pulled me into a much needed hug.
"You can live here permanently too if you want, we have a free room anyway," Edd stated. I smiled.
"That would be great!"
Edd showed me the empty room, "This used to be Tord's but he moved out a while ago after the whole robot incident." I "oh'ed" and walked inside. It was a pretty decent size and had a bit so cramped closet like the one back home.
"Thanks Edd," I smiled big, "This means a lot." That same day, I was able to move in the furniture from my bedroom back where I used to live. It looked amazing! By the time I had fixed everything up, it was around 10pm. I smiled at the cream colored walls and changed into my (F/C) pajamas. I curled up into my blankets and easily the best sleep of my life.
I had been living with the guys for about seven months now, everyone's schedules memorized. I had just come back from my job at a café, it was about a 10 minute walk away so it was easy to get there. I kicked off my shoes and made my way to the kitchen, pulling out a refreshing soda to cool myself from the walk. It was summer, so walking was more exhausting than usual. Edd walked into the kitchen for a drink, welcoming me home. It was nice to live with someone, especially if they're you're best friends. A long and hard day at work is easier when you know you have friends waiting for you back home.
Edd usually did commissions for good payment with a part time job at a tattoo parlor. He helped make appealing pallets for tattoo designs. Edd usually comes home at or before 3pm, unlike Tom, who usually comes home at five. He mainly spends his job working at the arcade, making sure none of the machines are having problems. Matt came home around the same time as Tom, but he worked at the mall, it was about a fifteen minute drive from the house so he usually uses our car. Our jobs weren't the best pay, but they were enough.
"Hey (F/N)," Edd said, "I'm gonna go grocery shopping, so hold down the fort until I get back, alright?"
"Yep!" I replied, I was having a good day. When Edd left the house, I jogged upstairs to change out of my uniform. When I got into my room, I undid the first four buttons of my top. I noticed something in the doorway, it was a man. I stared wide and and frightened as I pulled out a baseball bat out of my closet.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I shouted, the bat gripped tight in my hands. The guy asked, "What the fuck are you doing in MY house?" I was confused, but I was too freaked out to think straight. The second he let his guard down, I swung the bat hard, knocking him the fuck out. I put my bat away and grabbed a roll of duck tape out of my desk, wrapping his arms and legs together. When I was satisfied with my work, I threw him onto my bed so he was out of the way. Once I was fully changed, I heard a door open from downstairs.
"EDD," I shouted, "I CAUGHT AN INTRUDER!"
Edd quickly jogged up the stairs, shocked to see the red hooded man on my bed. He snickered a little.
"You knocked Tord out?"
I stood there confused, "This is the guy that blew up your house and hurt Tom?" Edd nodded.
"He was misguided, but hopefully he's come back a changed person. I know Matt and I have missed him, but Tom hasn't," Edd continued. I laughed, thinking about all the stories Matt would tell about how scary they would get when they fought. I looked from Tord to Edd.
"So what do we do with him?" I asked.
"Wait for him to wake up I guess," Edd shrugged. We waited for a while, it was almost five so Tom and Matt should be let off work soon. All of the sudden, the "Tord" man was stirring. I narrowed my eyes, still pissed that he caught me undressing AND that he somewhat trespassed. His eyes blinked open.
In a thick Norwegian accent he said, "W-what the fuck..."
