Tord X Reader part 3

Walk

We walked into the grocery store, aimlessly walking around as we picked stuff of the shelf. Every once in a while, Matt would try to cheer us up with a pun, or talking to the president on a banana.

"You alright?" Edd asked.

I shook my head.

They've been trying so hard to make me feel better, to get my mind off of everything, but it's not working. They've tried everything, but nothing's working. I can't keep my mind off of everything that's happened...

"Tell me how to make you feel better..." Edd pleaded.

"You can't." I sighed.

He sighed and turned to me, suddenly kissing me. My eyes went wide with shock.

"Edd?!" I said pushing him off of me.

"S-Sorry... I don't know what came over me..."

ZTords POV

Anger raged through my body as I stood watching him kiss her. He knows shes mine, how dare he?! She pushed him off in confusion and anger, that I didn't expect.

She yelled at him, and stormed off into the car. Edd stood speechless in the parking lot, serves him right.

"Boss, are you alright?" Paul asked.

"I'm fine." I said, grinning.

"New plan?"

"Nah, just watching an old friends life hit a dead end." I laughed.

I don't hate Edd. If anyone knew me, I love Edd. It's the fact that he has a crush on my wife, that I'm pissed about. It amazes me that even without her memory she remains loyal, I love her.

I have to protect her... that's my only option now.

Back to Your POV

"Tom please don't make a big deal out of this.." I pleaded.

"What if-" he cut himself off.

"What?" I asked.

"What if he does something more... violent?"

"Tom I'm the Purple leader. I can take care of myself." I huffed.

"I'm just saying..."

"H-Hey." Edd said shaking.

"Edd it's alright." I sighed.

He stayed quiet throughout the ride home. He didn't talk to me at home. He didn't talk to me the following week, or the week after. Does he feel that bad?

We'll exchange glances every once in a while, but never spoke a word. I honestly liked him, but not in that way. It pained me. He was my best friend, but...

"Tom I'm going on a walk." I yelled shutting the door, walking into the cold night.

"I'm coming home, I'm coming home-" I sang to the world.

I sighed as the rap part came on. Why can't the world just be... perfect. It's always so peaceful at night, why can't it always be like this? No fighting... No pain...

But that's not how to world works is it? Every second another persons injured, kidnaped, and killed. Nothing's ever peaceful, why would the night be different?

"You shouldn't be walking alone." A voice said behind me, hiding in the darkness as I stood under a light post.

"Who's there?" I demanded. "I'm armed and won't hesitate to shoot you."

"Awe, always so cute aren't you?" The voice chuckled.

Tord...?

"Tord please. Tell me why you erased my memory?" I asked.

"To protect you. It's better if you don't get attached to me, because I'll only hurt you." He said, stepping into the light.

"Tord I'm-"

"The Purple leader, and you can't take care of yourself. You say that a lot (Y/N)."

The way he says my name, it lifts my heart and stops my brain. I'm finally at peace when I hear his voice. I can't. I won't. He's evil!

"Let's get you-"

"Don't touch me!" I hissed, slapping his hand away, causing him to chuckle.

"Always so complicated." He said, shaking his head.

"Get the hell away from me." I snarled, pulling out my gun.

"Did you like it when Edd kissed you?" He asked, unfazed.

"What?"

"Did you like it when Edd kissed you."

"I-I don't know." I answered truthfully.

"Good." He replied. "Go straight Home, and do not look outside."

"What why-"

"THERE HE IS! GET HIM!" A police officer yelled.

Tord grabbed my hand, running into the darkness, and falling off of a cliff. He landed on top of me, while I landed on a soft patch of leaves.

Sure my legs hurt from the rocks and twigs that just so happened to be there, but-

OH MY GOD HES ONTOP OF ME.

"Just like old-"

In the faint moonlight I could see his expression going from happiness to sadness in a split second. He got off of me within a second later. This was killing him mentally.

"Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" I asked.

"In the events that I disappear, I don't want you to be depressed. That happiness I've always seen you with, disappears when I'm gone, er... when I was gone." He sighed. "If you get close to me again..."

"You're afraid I'll end up hurt?"

"Exactly." He nodded. "Come on, Toms probably freaking out by now."

"Tord?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for what ever I did." I said. "It seemed like we were really close, I must have screwed everything up somehow."

"That's not true at all darling." He smiled, lightly cupping my cheek. "I could never hate you."

"But-"

"(Y/N)?!" Tom yelled.

I turned to Tord, but he wasn't there. He was gone again.

"I'm down here!" I said. "I thought I heard a kitten, but I tripped and fell."

"God don't leave like that again..." Tom said hugging me. "What if he got to you? What if he hurt you again?"

"It wouldn't matter." I replied.

Tords POV

Of course it would matter, don't be stupid (Y/N). You would hate me again, and then...

"I'm leaving. For good."

Don't ever forgive me, please. I don't want you hurt by me...
