Deaf ~TinTard~

Chapter 2

I entered the Base, more specifically my room, and threw the groceries to the ground. I leaned backwards and fell into my bed. I thought over the day that Life decided to torture me with. I had ran into the person who almost killed me, had to hide my identity, had to explain that I was deaf, all while trying not to freak out and run away. I swear life hates me (basically everybody in their pre-teen/teenage years tbh).

I saw my bedroom door open, and there stood Patryk. He probably said something, I just gave him a blank expression. Patryk seemed to have gotten the hint and grabbed a small notepad, scribbling something down and passing it over. It said that there was a letter. He then handed it over to me.

Dear Tord,

First of all, I bet your wondering how I found your address. Tom handed me one of the Wanted posters, and a large base isn't that hard to find. Anyways, I was just writing a letter to say we all miss you, well Tom doesn't show it, but I can tell. I know that you did kinda try and kill us, but everyone deserves a second chance. Oh, and Matt says Hi.

Sincerely, Edd

I just stared at the letter. There was really only one thing that my mind hasn't seemed to process yet.

"Tom misses me?" I muttered under my breath. I set the letter down on top of the note Patryk scribbled down.

"Thanks." I managed to say out loud. I stood up and headed out. I figured I could put my groceries away later. Maybe some fresh air will help clear my mind...right?

I walked down the street, a small smile on my face for the first time in a while. I turned a corner and saw a couple people in an alleyway, nothing big. Well, that was until I saw someone else walk into that same Alleyway, only to be attacked by the two people in the Alleyway. Of course, I'll probably say something wrong, but who the hell cares? Not me.

"Hey! Let the guy go!" I yelled, placing my hand on a spare gun, just in case this get bloody.

Tom POV (gonna start doing bold for this, just cause it looks more organized)

I stepped outside of the apartment building. Even though I got stuff for the other two, I forgot that I needed more Smirnoff.

I headed towards an Alleyway I used as a shortcut and headed in. However, two guys were in the Alleyway as well.

"What are you doing here, freak?" The taller man asked. 

"Passing through. Got a problem With it?" I retaliated.

"This is our Alleyway, get out the way you came or else." The shorter man threatened.

"Or else what?" I snarled.

"This." The taller man said before punching me, to be specific, my right 'eye'. The two continued to hit me for only a few seconds, someone stopping them.

"Hey! Let the guy go!" A familiar voice shouted. I looked at who it was...Tord.

"Why should we?" The Taller man asked harshly, gritting his teeth. Tord didn't say anything, as if he were deaf.

"WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE?!?" The Taller man shouted, facing Tord. I just stared at the two, bleeding badly.

Tord POV 

I Saw that the man talked back, I just assumed what he said to be questioning why. I could be wrong, but that doesn't matter.

"Or I'll shoot." I threatened, holding up the gun. The man looked scared for a second, then a look of defeat on his face.

Tom POV (so we know what the conversation is, lol)

"Fine, we'll leave him alone. For now. We will be back, and you better count on that." The taller man said, before walking off. The shorter guy just punched my arm before walking off as well. The Arm that got injured by Tord. Speaking of Tord, he put the gun away, walking up to me.

"GET AWAY FROM ME COMMIE!" I shouted, tears soon rolling down my cheeks. Tord looked sympathetic.

"Sorry." He mumbled. He backed up quickly, a note pad falling out of his pocket. One page that caught my eye was one that had the conversation with the deaf man earlier.

"How the hell are you-oh...right." I said, cutting myself off. I instantly grabbed the notepad and looked around for something to write with. Tord must've noticed since he handed me a pen. I wrote down my message and passed the notepad to him.

Tord POV

I read the note that Tom read. 'How the hell are you deaf?' He wrote.

"After you had shot me with the Harpoon, I ended up being deaf after the crash." I explained. Tom stayed silent. Suddenly, he blacked out, probably due to bleeding badly.

A/N: Deal with the cliffhanger, you got 803 words. I'll write the next part soon tho.
