//Tord's POV//

What happened all of those years?
What did happen all those years I was gone? That's an odd question to answer. It sure as hell wasnt to follow my dreams, that was utter bullshit and I could sense that Tom knew that.

I could help but get mad. I was off my rocker, and even by now I could tell that he was cautious with his words. I felt my vision almost get fuzzy before I steadied it, narrowing my eyes as my lips curled in a grin. "Isn't it obvious, Tom?" I asked, grabbing his chin as I forcefully made him look up to me. He hissed in pain and teared up, making me falter. "Sorry, love-"
"Don't call me that..." he spat, making me blink slowly. I felt like.. slapping him.

I need to get my bearings. Tord, don't.

"Hm." I hummed in response, "Fine."

"I left because of.... You." I spoke softly.

Such a simple answer to such a complex question. It almost threw me off. He obviously was taken aback. "Tord.."
"I know. It weird and you don't know how to take it.." I explained, letting go of his chin as I gently wiped some crusted blood away from the corners of his eyes. He whimpered and closed his eyes.
So scared, it's almost cute...

"But you should take it as a compliment... I might have been wrong on my judgements, if I was wrong I'll have to figure out who it was. Besides the judgement thing, I can't explain how much you mean to me~..." I almost purred.
He furrowed his brow and opened his eyes. Disbelief and confusion flashed on his face. It soon turned to anger and I pulled my hands back.

"I MEAN something to you? Tord, you tried to fucking kill me!"
"Well, when you put it like that it's a bit harsh." I chuckled, and I could tell I'm only angering him more.

"Tord, fuck you! You killed Edd!"
My face dropped, my hair shadowing my pale features as my fists balled up. I soon grabbed onto his hair and pulled it back, making his neck crane oddly. He hissed and whimpered. "Don't bring him into this. I've got enough of a migraine when you mention him alone..."
It was true. My head started pounding and it hurt like hell. It was either the fact my insanity kept pulsating in and out or maybe another factor- but I'm going to blame it on Edd for now.

//Tom's POV//
I watched him, immediately shutting up at how aggravated he looked.
Honestly if it weren't for the fact he killed someone and nearly killed me I kind of would have thought this was kinky, besides what he was saying.
Anyways--

My vision was fading in and out, and he seemed to notice as my eyelids tried to keep open. "Oh, Thomas..." he hummed, helping me sit up. I felt like stone in my opinion, it was a miracle on how he could get me to stand without sending pain all over my body.
Either he did a good job or I'm too numb from weakness to feel anything.

"Your loosing a lot of blood, but don't worry... You'll be safe soon... Just close your eyes, okay?" He hummed as he held me close. I lazily laid my head on his chest, the feeling of blood trickling down my face wasn't the best at the moment.
It could have been sweat, but by how things have been going I'm going to expect the worst.

I closed my eyes, hearing faint sirens in the distance as I heard people talking.

"What happened?"
"Don't worry, you two. I need answers anyways."
"What answers?"
"Well, for one, do you know how to erase memories?"
