I'm never running out of pete here
Too upset to write an actual pre-message

Tom laughed at his statement as we walked toward the elevator. "I weigh something" I mumbled. It was upsetting, usually the tall one would be the one to tease, and it was annoying that Tom was getting the best of me.

"Seriously, what are you eating?" He asked with a humorous tone. I didn't want to answer the question, considering I've been homeless for the past year. "What?!" He said with a smile. "The last thing I remember eating was those peanuts." I answered. "And before that?" He asked again. I stayed silent, not wanting to answer again. Truth was I would be lucky if I could eat once a week.

"Let's just hurry." I said seriously. "Uh oh, you get serious when your hiding something." Tom said with a lighthearted tone. "Let's, go." I gritted through my teeth. Tom was silent as we walked upstairs to meet Edd and Matt. And just like that, my attitude dropped for the rest of the night, considering it was already midnight.

We arrived in front of the washroom to see a well covered Edd and an overstuffed Matt. "Hey! Tord, why is Tom holding all the heavy stuff?" Edd asked. "Don't care, let's just get a move on." I sarcastically replied grabbing Edd's bag, where he packed some clothes for me. He was the only one I told I was homeless, considering he'd take it the best. Matt would over react, and we all know what Tom would do. The plane ride was hard enough.

Tom and I walked in, picked a stall, and covered ourselves. I wore my long sleeve shirt, a thinker shirt, and a red coat that went down to my butt. I also put on a beanie to cover my hair, because we don't need me spreading my devil horns in such a religious place. I stepped outside to see Tom in a similar outfit as me, but his jacket was down to his knees. "Nice, even the jacket points out you're irregular sized." I mocked, not even smiling. "Say that to the two budges in your beanie." He smirked. I just rolled my eyes.

We walked out, and everyone was holding their own bags. Except I was holding one of Matt's because I felt bad for pretty much holding nothing. "Ok, so do we take a Taxi to our hotel or subway, then a trai-" I cut off Edd's question. "Taxi. It's quicker, and I'm tired as fuck." I complained. "Are you sure, I kinda want the full experience." Edd said, or...sedd(it's pronounced the same)

"No, Taxi." I said straightforwardly. Edd nodded as we walked to the exist. Tom was starring at me with concern, but I brushed it off as him thinking why I was being such an ass all of a sudden. I don't really know why either, but it would only last for today, right?

•---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•

"Two beds?!" Tom and I complained at the same time. From when we walked into the hotel it seemed nice. It was black and gold, with a flat roof. There was a bar and bakery as the fourth floor and hot cocoa at the lobby. It was rated with five stars. Everything about it was perfect, until we walked into the room, with only two beds.

"Huh, the review said we'd get a better room." Edd sighed. "Who cares, SLEEP!" Matt yelled as he flopped onto his bed. "Well, it only makes sense I sleep with my boyfriend.."  Edd trailed off. Tom and I exchanged looks of disgust, but we both groaned a "fine!" As we changed into our pajamas.

"Oh Edd, can we take off our shockers at night? They're incredibly uncomfortable." I complained. "Oh yeah, please?" Tom asked. "Fine." Edd grabbed my wrist and unlocked a key hole with a metal key he was holding, and Tom's automatically fell off after he did that. I tore mine off and laid down on the bed. "Well, goodnight." I exclaimed.

I turned right and covered myself in the blanket. I felt Tom get on the bed but I just ignored him and scooted as far to the edge as I could. I was dozing off when I felt heavy breathing on my neck. "Tord." Tom whispered. "What the hell do you want?" I groaned. "Can you tell me why your being such an ass?!" Tom again whispered.

"Tom, I'm trying to sleep!" I whisper shouted. "Your so bipolar." Tom hissed. I rolled my eyes and scooted farther away from him. "It's true. Right now you can murder. But if I just simply-" Tom stopped talking. I then felt an arm wrap around my waist, and my eyes immediately widened and my face went red. "You get all embarrassed." Tom finished. He that began to laugh quietly.

  That's it.

I pushed him off and fell of the bed. I stood up and glared at him. "That's fucking it, I'm done with your fuckboy ass!" I snapped and whisper shouted. I saw Matt wake up but I didn't give a fuck. I grabbed my coat, stormed toward the exist, and slammed the door shut on my way out. The lights were on outside but I just forced on my coat as I headed for the elevator, muttering bad things about Tom the whole way.

I took the elevator down and ran outside. In front the door I sat down, kicked up my knees and hugged them. I was incredibly furious, but I didn't expect to be hurt as tears fell out my eyes. It was raining out, with a pretty heavy storm.

Tom was such a fuckboy. He had no emotions and only took pride in me when I was embarrassed. My heart tore apart. That time I ended up sleeping in his bed when he had a nightmare, fucking lies. When I fell on him on at the airport, all those emotions I was feeling? I was just a victim. My heart stung to the core when I remembered our moment on the plane. I knew nothing about Tom, but he sure kept his title. 'The guy who doesn't make sense'

I started running, though I didn't know where, I just wanted to escape. Of course I felt terrified when something tugged at my collar, choking me and making me fly back. I turned around to see a buff guy wearing black looking at me with a smirk. He sent chills down my spine. "Ha ha, what do we have here? It looks like a man but appears to be a weak little baby." He said. "The name goes by the ghost, and prepare for a haunting."

I wanted to yell at him, informing him of who I was, but somehow I was too scared. A former communist was scared. "Ha, let's just get this over with." He laughed. I just starred at him like an idiot. Then, I felt a swift punch strike me in between the ribs. I feel onto the ground gasping for air as I clutched my stomach.

"Ha, weakling!" The guy laughed. He was about to kick me and so I closed my eyes. I was confused when he didn't, so I opened my eyes to see what was stopping him. I opened my eyes to see a man in blue that I couldn't make out, holding him by the caller and his other hand in his pocket.

"H-hey! Ya think you can mess with the ghost? Prepare to get possessed!" He yelled. I heard low crackling slowly turn into laughter, dark laughter. My eyes widened when I figured out who it was. "Tom." I muttered. "You're an idiot." Tom laughed. "You can't posses something twice." Tom said. Right behind him I saw lightning strike and thunder ring.

At the speed of light I saw Tom destroy the man. Every second was a frame, one where he was being kicked in the balls, next he was in the air. It was horrifying to see. Eventually the man was running away, with a limp and a bleeding head. "You're insane, you're a freaking monster!" He shouted as he ran along the streets.

I sighed of relief that Tom had come to my rescue. He couched down and laid next to me. "Hey, that escalated quickly huh?" He asked. I couldn't speak so I just whimpered. "Ok ok, let's get back to the room." He said. I nodded. Tom softly pulled me up, and gave me a big hug for some reason. My heart warmed somehow. I didn't understand anything that just happened, or if I should forgive Tom. I was annoyed, the taller one always gotta top in this stuff.

The rain cleared, as the universe once again pushed us together.

Holy shit that was long, but fun to write. You don't know how much I wanted to make them kiss, but the first kiss has to be special kms. Also TTomtord1234 I'm waiting for your comments.
