His Pain, His Savior

His Wonderful Life

I picked up my phone and quickly dialed my mother, who I knew was definitely in need of someone to speak too. The phone rang four times before someone answered, but to my surprise, my father was on the other line.

"Thomas?....is that you?" He asked impatiently, my teeth clenched at the sound of his irritating voice, I wanted to punch him in the fucking face every time I heard his voice, or saw his face.
I regretfully spoke.

"Yes, yes I'm here..." I said between growls. I was trying so desperately to hide my anger, but I could tell it was showing. He chuckled a bit and there was some sounds in the background.

"Why are you calling? You don't need anything here, even if you did, all your stuff was burned anywa-"
He was cut off and I heard more noises in the background. Followed by my mothers sweet voice screaming at him.

"Hello Thomas... it's mom.. how are you?" My mother asked, her voice as sweet as ever. I've never expressed how much I really missed my mom, she was a wonderful parent and she treated like an actually person, not just a punching bag.  She was one of the only things that kept me going.

"Hey mom, umm yeah I am having fun, it's very interesting here....I thought it would be a lot different" I spoke to her in the softest way I could. I didn't like talking sternly tommy mother, she didn't deserve it.

" oh that's great, now I shouldn't be asking this but, any love interests?"

My eyes widened and I started to laugh, catching my mother by surprise.

"Mom...really?! Love interests?! right like I would love anyone besides you..." I said humorously. I heard her chuckle, her voice filling with happiness.

"Yeah I guess you're right, why did you call anyways?"

"I wanted to tell you that I made a friend here..."

"Oh? A friend?.....may I ask his name?"

"Um.....Tord...."

"....Tord?"

"Yeah I know.. weird ass name right?"

"Language Thomas..."

"Sorry..."

I face palmed myself, my face turning a bright red.

"Well that's great you've made a friend...I really hope to meet him soon...oh uh.. I have to go...I love you.."

"Love you too..."

"Goodbye.."

I hung up, and flopped onto my bed...my eyes gently shut, and I started to doze off....aannnnnnndddd the doorbell rang...

FUCK!!

I got up and opened the door to see tord there, still with the nail polish on, carrying his school bag, and another bag hanging on his shoulder.

"Hello Tom..." he said with a smile, giving a small wave. H still had the glitter on his eyes for some reason, and I could see the flower crown peeking out from his pocket.

"Can I come in?" He asked patiently, I had realized that I had been standing in the doorway for a while, and scurried to the side to let him in.

He stepped into the small dorm, admiring the scenery. He walked around, looking at every little thing that he found interesting. His eyes lit up when he saw my base sitting in the corner of the room.

"Oh my god!! You play an instrument?!" He shrieked.

"Oh uh yeah I do...I've been playing for a while.."

"Can you play me a song?" He asked enthusiastically.

"Um....sure why not."

I picked up my base and started to strum it. The strings were already tuned, and the sound beautifully echoed through the room. I saw his eyes widen and he smiled so brightly. I played for what felt like hours, but was actually minutes. He stood there clapping his hands be jumping up and down.

"That was amazing Thomas!!.."

"Call me Tom."

"Uh ok Tom"

"Well... do you know any other songs..??" He asked happily. I could see the utterly never ending excitement in his eyes.  I didn't want to let him down.

"Yeah, I do.."

I began to strum again playing a song I learned when I was very young, and still full of joy.

"Wise men say, only fools rush in,...
But I can't help falling in love with you."

I saw his eyes widen in shock, his beautiful silver irises lit up, as tears began to stream down his cheeks.
He began to sing along....

"Shall I stay, would it be a sin..
If I can't help falling in love with you..."

We kept singing our hearts out together... it was something more beautiful then anything I could ever imagine.

" Take my hand, take my whole life too...
But I can't help, falling in love with you..."

We both finished together....

I looked into his eyes for what felt like an eternity, then I saw him lean in closer...
