New Times (Fanfic Version)

Marks

That night Tord was awoken by a sharp pain in his stomach. It rumbled and grumbled. So Tord decided to try and be sneaky and quietly opened his door. He snuck down the hallway and into the kitchen. He opened the fridge he saw some strawberries, which he loved. He decided to take a few but when he turned around to go back to his room Tom was standing right behind him. Tord jumped and backed up. "T-Tom I just hung-" Tom punched the smol bean right in the face causing him and the strawberries to fall on the floor. "Pick those up! And throw them out..." Tord quickly picked up the berries and walked over to the sink. "It ok! I wash them off cause five seconds rule!" "I SAID THROW THEM OUT!" Tord whimpered and slowly walked over to the garbage and threw them away. Tom pointed down the hallway telling Tord to go back to his room. Tord looked down and hugged himself, his stomach still rumbling.

The next morning Tord was eager to get to Edd's but Tom had gone drinking and still wasn't home. At around three Tom came home extremely drunk. Tord got up and smiled and ran up to Tom hugging his leg. "Welcome home!" He said sweetly (he is too pure I swear ;;) Tom just growled and kicked him off. "Go get my Smirnoff from the nightstand in my room..." He said as he sat on the couch. Tord looked down and went to go get the drink. A few minuets later Tom heard a crash in his room. When he walked in glass and Smirnoff were everywhere. "I sorry! It fell down cause I can't reached it!" Tord said, his hand bleeding from the glass cause he was trying to pick it up. '"You little BRAT! Ungrateful disgrace!" Tom yelled walking over and kicking Tord again making him hit the wall pretty hard.

"Go to your room..." "B-But...I has to go to E-" "I SAID GO!" Tord walked over to his room, but the problem was he had a small limp to his walk now. He didn't get to Edd's until about six and Edd was just making dinner. He made mac n' cheese, which was another one of Tord's favorites. Tord ate three entire bowls extremely fast which surprised Edd. "Wow Tord...you were really hungry..." Tord nodded his head with a mouthful of mac n' cheese and a smile. "How about I give you a nice bubble bath!" Edd said, giving Tord one of those smiles parents give when they know you're about to be excited. Tord nodded his head super fast and finished his last few bites before jumping out the chair and attempting to run to the bathroom but couldn't. He said a quiet ow as he held his leg ans slowly walked to the bathroom.

Edd noticed his little limp and was extremely worried. He put the bowls in the sink and got Tord's pajamas and went to the bathroom. He ran the water and put bubbles and rubber ducks in it. Tord had already taken his hoodie off and got stuck in his shirt. When Edd went to help him take it off he noticed an extreme amount of bruises and some cuts. "Holy sh- Tord! What happened to you?!" Edd asked, worry all over his face. "I-I uh...fallded from a tree..." Tord said putting a nervous smile on. "You and me both know that's not true..." Tord looked down and teared up. "Now please tell me what actually happened..." Edd said, moving a little closer to the smol bean. "I SORRY!" Tord yelled starting to sob and hugged Edd. "Aw Tord...please tell me.." "He hurted me..." "WHO HURT YOU?!" Edd asked standing up and clutching his fists. Tord was silent and looked down, knowing Tom was probably serious about throwing him off the roof.

"T-Tom..." Tord said quietly. Edd gasped then put on a face Tord had never seen. It was pure rage. He picked Tord up and marched out the door, swinging it open and slamming it shut. He went over to Tom's door and banged on it yelling Tom's name in anger. When Tom answered and saw Edd he instantly put on an oh shit face. "CARE TO EXPLAIN?!" Edd said, turning Tord around to show him his marks. Tom was taken aback at first before his face turned to anger. "You little SHIT!" Tom said as he walked up to Edd and Tord buried his face into Edd's shoulder. When Tom did this Edd went super dad mode and set Tord down as he punched Tom as hard as he could right in the face. His nose started bleeding and blood came out his mouth too.

Tom put a hand on his cheek now terrified. "I want to know the reason you think it was ok to HIT A CHILD! WHAT DID HE DO?!" Edd yelled walking up to Tom again, who backed up. "uh he um...I just...he was being annoying and-" "That is no excuse Tom...wait a minuet...IS THAT WHY HE ATE SO FUCKING MUCH TOO?! AND WHY HE WAS LIMPING!?" "He was...limping?..." Tom said quietly obvious guilt in his voice. "YES! Tom...he's only a kid...don't hurt him..." Edd said picking Tord back up and walking back to his apartment. "Wait! Edd! Just let me-" "NO! You are NEVER! Getting this child again! I'm not letting you hurt him anymore!" Tord waved sadly to Tom as Edd walked in and slammed the door. Tom closed the door. He looked down for a second before punching it and starting to cry. He slid down the wall and covered his face with his hands. "What have I done..."
