Tord arose from his bed, round the time 7:20, he looked around his bare room and heaved himself off his tatted bed, to get changed, a whisper was heard, Tords head flicked around. Trying to find out where the sound arose from, no sign of anyone.

Tord pulled out a red hoodie and some ripped skinny jeans, another whisper was heard, but this time, it was clear what it had said
'Do it..'
Do what?
It.
Tord got changed, slipping on his red hoodie, he didn't really know what 'it' was, so, he chose to ignore the sounds.
Downstairs, past his mother who was asleep on the sofa with a bottle of Smirnoff in her hand, and out the house.
School, another day, hopefully no other problems...

Tord arrived at his school, walking through the gates, he gazed around at everyone, smiling, laughing, being cheerful, Tord on the other hand, wouldn't smile till he found Edd.
Edd was sitting below a small tree, Tord scanned the area and saw the green hooded figure, he rushed over, throwing his bag beside Edd as a greet 'morning Edd!' He smiled happily.
'Oh! Hey Tord!' Edd looked up from his paper and smiled,
'How are you?' Tord asked.
'Same old, same old.'
Tord nodded 'something strange happened to me today.'
'Go on.'
'So.. I was in my room this morning and I heard a whisper, I decided to ignore it at first but then I heard it loud and clear... it said do it, I don't know what it is.'
Edd looked at Tord, scared for him 'Tord... those are voices.'
'Voices?'
'Yeah, they tell you to kill yourself...'
Tord stared blankly at Edd, 'o-oh..'
Tord then shook his head 'h-have you ever had any?' He asked Edd.
Edd shook his head, 'no,, I haven't.'
Tord jolted up 'that's what tom told me about... t-tom had voices...'
Tord felt tears spill from his eyes, he missed tom, it was obvious. Edd locked Tord into a hug and pulled him close to his chest, 'shh..'
Tord whimpered, 'I-I miss him...'
'I know...'
'He didn't... say goodbye...'
Tord continued to sob, Edd was somehow able to calm down Tord, he smiled at Tord and placed a kiss on Tords head, 'it'll be fine..'
Tord nodded a little 'I-I know..'
Edd smiled, he changed the subject to avoid more tears, 'so, been drawing?'
'No, I can't find any fun in drawing anymore. Or acting.'
Edd stared down 'maybe you could find something else you enjoy..'
'I-I enjoy being around you.'
The whisper was heard again.
'D-did you hear that?!'
'No..?'
'The voices.' Tord spoke, Edd nodded, clearly interested.
Tord shook his head 'im just going crazy.' 
'You're not.. maybe we need to go speak to someone, like Mr.Litchen.'
'Yeah, I guess...'
'Let's go then.'

Mr.Litchen was in a small room, he was like the schools councillor, but also a teacher, he was able to help if you needed him.
Tord and Edd made their way to Mr.Litchens office and knocked on the door.
'Come in!' Mr.Litchens voice spoke, his voice was deep and soft, Mr.Litchen was tall, wore glasses, had a short stubble and perfect dark brown hair, which balanced perfectly.
Edd opened the door to Mr.Litchens office and wandered in, Tord followed behind like a lost puppy, 'take a seat.' Mr.Litchen spoke, Tord and Edd both sat down.
'What's the problem?' The tall teacher asked,
'Well, Tord has been hearing whispers in his mind, he heard them say do it, I told him they were voices, how the voices influence you to do bad things,'
'Right.'
'So we need your advice on what to do.'
'Well.. tord, how bad do the voices get'
'The worst one has been the do it one, I always seem to hear faint words,' Tord spoke.
'Such as?'
Tord fell silent, he didn't want to say.
'I can't help if you don't tell me.'
'They tell me to hurt myself..'
the whole room fell silent this time.
'Well, come back tomorrow and tell me if it's gotten worse.' Mr.litchen spoke, Tord nodded and stood up, Edd got up too, they both walked out the room...



....scared for the day after.
