"I should get heading back. Edd's probably weeping on the floor at this point..." Tom sighed. He remembered Tord couldn't hear him, so he texted Tord what he had said word for word.

"If you insist. I'll be here." Tord said. Tom smiled and waved goodbye, before leaving the room. He manoeuvred his way through the halls before making his way outside. He walked home on the dark, cold streets. It was nearing Midnight, and not many people were out. He finally made his way to the apartment building.

"Told ya so!" A familiar voice whispered from the bushes. There was a slight amount of rustling coming from the bush. A slight amount of orange stocked out from the top of the bush.

"I'm sorry I was worried!" Another familiar voice whisper-yelled. Tom walked over to the bushes and pushed some of the green leaves aside, hearing someone yelp. There, he saw Edd and Matt.

"Seriously?" Tom questioned, a slightly annoyed tone of voice being noticeable. Edd let out a nervous chuckle and Matt awkwardly waved.

"H-Hi...Tom..." Edd greeted. Tom sighed.

"Your lucky I care enough to remind you two these are Rose Bushes." Tom informed. Just then Edd and Matt realized they were being poke in the everywhere by Rose thorns. The pair quickly got out of the bush.

"My face!" Matt cried, searching desperately for something to look at himself in, to make sure his face wasn't ruined.

"Your face is fine, Matt. The only thing wrong is that it's still there." Tom stated, stuffing his hands in his jacket pockets. Matt was offended.

"I thing autocorrect made right change to wrong." Matt corrected. Tom glared at him.

"This is a verbal conversation." Tom reminded. Matt shrugged.

"But the one you had with Tord isn't. Look, Tom...what's going on? We are your friends, right?" Edd asked. Tom's face drained of all colour.

"Edd! Of course we're frie-"

"Then what happened? I thought you hated Tord with a burning passion." Edd interrupted. Tom was at a loss for words, before remembering Tord's excuse. It worked last time Tord gave him an excuse.

"I never meant to hurt your feelings and Tord says Hi." Tom said. He remembered the last bit. "That and everything is the Spider's fault"

"What spider?" Edd questioned. Tom sighed.

"The one that Tord saw." Tom responded. Edd smiled.

"Apology accepted."

"Indubitably!"
