(Tom's p.o.v.)
I looked up at my blue flower crown for the eleventh time since Nara put it on my head. I couldn't help but to think how innocent she was. It was rather sad to say the least of whatever happened to her before Edd had adopted her. She was quite obviously scarred deeply by it.
I looked over at Nara and I smiled seeing her quietly hum to herself as she ate a blueberry muffin. She then let out a tired yawn signaling it was time to go. I sighed exasperated as I slowly went to stand. Edd began to grab the blanket and leftovers as I gently picked up Nara. She squirmed at first before settling down. We walked back to the car with me and Tord throwing some light insults around.
As we sat down in the car I noticed how much of need she was for a bath and shoes. We quickly drove back to the house with Nara absent mindedly staring out the window. When we walked in Edd immediately thought it time for a bath. I volunteered to help while Tord and Matt just went to their rooms.
Edd quickly escorted Nara to the bathroom me following suit. He then calmly sat her down on the toilet as he started the water. I kneeled down beside her staring her in the eye. "I need you to remove that eyepatch when you take your bath, ok?" I told her. She shook a little when I said that. "O-ok-a-y." She stuttered out.
She then began to work off her hoodie. Showing a grayish pale blue tank top. She then looked away as she took off her eyepatch succeeding in keeping me and Edd from seeing whatever was underneath. At that me and Edd left the bathroom with the bath filled to the brim with bubbles.
A couple minutes later I decided to go check on her. I slowly opened the door to hide my presence I looked at her. "HOLY TROMBONES ON A POGOSTICK!!!" I yelled. Where her eye should of been was a gaping whole but that was not what shocked me. What did was the fact how much it was bleeding to the point the entire bath had become a dark shade of pink. She looked up at me with a look of fear. She quickly submerged herself underwater as I sprinted down the hall to go fetch Edd.
(Nara's p.o.v.)
He saw me. I began to breathe heavily while my hand was clutched over my eye in an attempt to hide it. He was obviously disgusted by it. I shouldn't of taken off my eyepatch. My thoughts whirled around my head as I began to unknowingly cry.
It wasn't long after he bolted did he return with Edd alongside him. I had changed into clothes they had given me by the time. I was hiding under the cabinet under the sink with my eyepatch clutched in my hand. I tried to stay quiet but couldn't choke back the sobs. They quickly found me and pulled me out.
(Tom's p.o.v.)
"Nara, Why did you hide this from us?" Edd asked her. She looked up at him still shaking with fear. "It's disgusting." She shook as she said this but said it as if it was as true as the sun. Edd merely sighed at this and grabbed a cloth wiping off the blood that was dripping down her face before tying her eyepatch on. He then left at this leaving me and her alone.
"It's not disgusting." I stated. She looked at me tears rolling down her face and gave a small smile. "Hey Nara, would you like to see something cool?" I asked. She shakily nodded her head.
I lead her out of the bathroom and towards my room. We then walked into my room and I sat her down on my bed. She gripped the bedsheets having a staring contest with the ground. I quickly grabbed Susan and sat down on the ground below her. I strummed a few chords before starting.
"Twinkle, Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon.
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, Twinkle all the night.
Twinkle, Twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are."
I sang. She fell asleep and I smiled.
