His Attention | tomtord |

Chapter 7

Edd's POV

After I went home, I went to bed. I tried to fall asleep but just couldn't. I kept thinking about what I had put Tord through. His screams and the look he gave me. He hates me...He was obviously my first patient, so I wasn't used to the sitting through that kind of treatment.

Eventually I gave up trying to find sleep. I looked at the clock 12:32. I knew I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to go watch TV. First I got a can of Cola. Professor Why was on when I turned on the TV. I changed the channel to find the Children. I decided to stay on this channel since I really had nothing better to do.

Out of nowhere, my phone began to ring. I looked at the caller ID, it was I number I didn't recognize or had a contact for. It was a bit suspicious. I picked up the phone cautiously and answered.

"Edd? Is that you???" The caller said first, his voice sounded familiar.

"Matt? Why do you have a different phone number???" I questioned.

"Oh I had to get it changed for a few different reasons. I'm sorry did I wake you up?" He worried.

"Oh no! I was already awake. So what was it that you wanted so badly to have to call me in the middle of the night?"

"Well I was thinking that maybe we should be roommates again, you know, just like old times! We can get a bigger house since both of us have a regular income now hahaha" Matt explained.

"Actually, that's not a bad idea! That would be awesome Matt!!! Did you already find a house you like?"

"Yeah I did! But it has an extra room and I don't know what to do with it."

"Well it'll be the guest room for now I guess"

"Okay! Can't wait to live with you again! I have to go now though. Bye Edd!!!" Matt yelled into the phone.

"Bye-" he had already hung up.

That Matt. He brought me into a better mood. I was honestly excited to move back in with him, just like old times! I started to think about all the adventures we will go on together. Then I thought about Tord.

Why am I so upset about it, I barely even know him! Plus, just like what Tom said, he's a monster who has killed so many people!!! So then why is it that I feel so awful. Does it have to do with that feeling I get in my stomach when I'm in the same room or even think about him??? Well, next to the fear...

I went to my room and tried to fall asleep. I finally did after thirty minutes or so. But I woke up from a nightmare. I don't even know what it was about. I looked at the time 4:47. It was late enough to start the day. I got up and got ready for the day. I had the day off so I had no clue what to do.

I sat on my table in the kitchen with a bowl of cereal in front of me. I tried not to think about what happened yesterday. Instead I ended up thinking about Tord. He's just a human. All humans make mistakes, sure he has really REALLY big mistakes but doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? I wonder what kind of childhood he had to make him the type of man he is now. I feel bad. I hope that he's life ends up getting better for him and... And I hope I'm there... with him...

...I think I like him...
