~+Edd's P.O.V+~

I quickly parked my car once I got back to the parking garage where I normally parked my car. Shoving my keys in my pocket, I opened the door to the back seat, where Tord was still laying. I ripped the blanket off of him and picked him up. He seemed to be unconscious, which was a good thing for now.

The cold weather suddenly seemed to hit me. Probably because I'd decided to wrap my hoodie around Tord's wounds in hopes that it would help soak up some of the blood. I was pushing my body to it's limits trying to run faster, and I could literally just saw my legs off at this point since they hurt so bad.

But I had to remind myself that I was doing this for a reason. I needed to tell him.. Even if he didn't share the same feelings. But.. It was hard to think about what would happen if I told him and he didn't love me back.. Would he ditch me? Would he ignore me? What if he-

I shook my head, clearing my thoughts, "Edd, everything will be okay," I whispered to myself, reaching the school campus.

I had absolutely no medical experience. I knew how to drive pretty well, and that was about the only thing I could do. I had Tord laid down on the couch in our dorm. His mechanical dog, who I literally just called 'Dog' was standing next to me. He tried to climb onto the couch, but I gently picked him up and set him down on Tord's bed. I didn't want him to accidentally do something to Tord and make anything worse...

I headed back over to Tord, who was luckily still unconscious. There was only one idea in my head, and I was very hesitant to go to it. But.. I reluctantly dialed a number and called someone who I never thought I'd call again:

My mom.

She wasn't really.. The nicest, but she was an outstanding doctor. Between her and my dad, she would probably be more willing to help. My dad was okay I guess, but I was sure that there were far better dads out there.

Ringing..

Ringing...

Ringing....

"Edd?" A stern voice answered over the phone, "Why the hell are you calling me?"

"Mom, this is important," I started, slurring my words together, "My friend needs help he-"

"Sweetie, injuries are gonna happen, I'm not coming to you every three seconds when you get a splinter stuck in your foot or someone pokes you in the eye with a pencil. I'm-"

"Mom." I growled, cutting her off, "Get. Your. Lazy. Ass. Over Here... Now." 

"...And what do I get out of it?" She asked, seeming a bit more willing.

"We'll set up a deal. Just... come prepared to treat some injuries..." I replied, hesitantly  

My mom dropped the call. No goodbyes or anything. She normally did that, and it was just how she acted. I'd always just assumed moms were kind of like that. Right?

I looked at Tord. He was still bleeding, which was worrying. Silently, I sat down on the ground next to the couch. The one thing that I was wondering about him was the band-aid on his cheek. Maybe I was just over-analyzing things, but he'd never taken it off, and small injuries should heal within a week, right?

I leaned a bit closer, hoping to possibly take off the baind-aid and figure out if something was seriously wrong. Instead, I found myself kissing him on the lips.

Two chapters two days in a row--

I decided to write a bit more, since I had the motivation to do so. This one's a bit shorter than the last chapter, but I swear the next chapter will be longer. I just had the idea that I wanted to write out and publish, and it was bugging me since I hadn't written it yet lol.

It really isn't too many views compared to most fanfics, but holy crap, 700+ views was WAY more than I originally expected when I wrote this. I'd expected to only get 100 at the most, and that seemed far-fetched for me. I'd honestly like to just say thank you for reading this, since I honestly still mentally freak out whenever someone votes or leaves a comment, as it really just brightens my day :)
