Cold Blood (Tomtord)

Chapter 9

A/N: It's about to get really messed up, so here's a fair warning. But, if you like messed up like I do, then please carry on.

Tom's P.O.V
After a few minutes, Tord demanded we went home. I complied, although I didn't want to leave yet. Tord went straight to bed, but I took a quick shower before joining him. Whenever I walked into my room, he seemed to be sleeping very worriedly. I brushed it off as a bad dream though, and went to sleep next to him.

I wake up to a loud crash. The sound of glass hitting the floor. I jumped up and quickly got dressed, throwing on my shirt and black jeans. I walked out of the room, grabbing my gun on the way. Shit, there's one bullet. Let's hope it's just a robber and a gun will scare him off. I quietly slipped out of the room, raising the gun as if I were aiming. I saw a dark figure wandering around in the kitchen. I flipped on a light to reveal a man with thick eye brows and a cigarette. He looked serious, especially since he had a gun as well. Although, I presume his was loaded.
"Where's Tord?"
How does this bastard know Tord?! "That's not any of your business. He left a little while ago."
"I see. Guess I'll have to kill only you for now." He said, raising the gun to Tom's head.
Ah, shit. I'm gonna have to lose this fucker. I jumped through the broken window, hearing him follow right behind me. At least Tord is safe. I ran, carrying myself to the bad part of the city.
Tord's P.O.V
I woke up, noticing Tom wasn't in bed next to me. Probably out getting breakfast. I jumped into the shower, coming out a few minutes later smelling clean with clean clothes on. I walked into the front area to stop dead in my tracks. My blood ran cold and my eyes widened in fear.
Where's Tom?!
I ran back to the hall, opening all the doors and checking inside. Tom was nowhere to be seen. I went into the kitchen. Maybe he left a note. I saw a paper on the counter and was flooded with relief. Only to feel a greater dread as I read it.
You fucked up bad this time, Tord.
-Pau.
I threw on my shoes and started to check all over town.
Time skip
It was getting dark and I haven't found Tom. I called him, but he wasn't picking up. I was now in the bad parts of town. "Tom!" I called out. I had been doing this for hours. Until I heard footsteps behind me.
I turned around to see Pat. He looked sad.
"I'm sorry, Tord." He said raising a gun.
"Pat, please! Let me explain." He hesitated before slowly letting his arm drop to his side, keeping the weapon in his hand.

Tom's P.O.V
This bastard wasn't getting off of my tail. He had fired a couple of shots every now and then. One of them hit my shoulder, but I kept running. I was running straight until I heard someone calling my name. And not just anyone.
Tord!
I ran towards the voice, only to notice the guy had disappeared. Finally. I was in an apartment, and there was a chunk of the wall missing. Enough for me to be able to stand in and jump out of. I looked down and saw Tord. His eyes were filled with anger and fear. I noticed he was trapped by a few guys.
I wasn't too worried until I saw the dude with bushy eyebrows. I saw him whisper something into the tall dude's ear, and he slowly raised his weapon up. Tord just tightly shut his eyes, preparing for the worst.
Just as he started to squeeze the trigger, I jumped down. It hurt like hell as I felt multiple bullets enter my body. I stayed standing as long as I could, until my knees gave out and I collapsed to the ground, with shaky breaths. All I knew was that Tord was safe, and that was enough for me. I slowly closed my eyes, trying to block the pain out.

Tord's P.O.V
I closed my eyes preparing for the worst, only to feel nothing. I heard the shots, but felt nothing. I opened my eyes, and looked at my body. Nothing.
I looked at the ground, only to see Tom. He was taking shallow breaths.
Tom? What's he doing on the ground?
I looked at him in confusion, until I got a closer look. His dark shirt was stained with blood and ripped with gun shot holes. My eyes widen as realization set in.
I quickly scrambled to pick him up, gently lifting his fragile body up to my chest. It was times like this I thanked God for being the taller one. I ran away as quickly as I could, ignoring the shouts behind me. I carried him to a far away abandoned building, setting him on the ground.
"Tom! What did you do?!"
"I protected you, idiot." A little blood dribbled from his mouth.
No. That wasn't right. The dark crimson on his pale skin didn't belong there. I wanted it to go away immediately.
"Thomas, this is serious! I-I'm gonna fix you. You're going to survive, we'll get you healthy. You're gonna be alright." I said, almost like I was convincing myself instead of him.
"Oh, Tord." He smiles softly, gingerly brushing his fingers through my hair.
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! You're going to live!"
Tears started streaming down my face. Tom took his hand a gently caressed my cheek. I held his hand there, pleading for him to not go.
"Baby, we know what's going to happen." He stated as he pulled out a gun.
"No! No, no, no no no. I *hic* w-won't let you die!" I started crying. Tears and strangled sobs escaped my throat. My body racking with each breath I took in.
I wiped my eyes and got a closer look at him. Even though his eyes were slightly dull, they still sparkled. Like stars reflecting on a lake when the night is cloudless. His pale skin seemed to have a glow, softly, like he was an angel.
He shoved the gun in my hand, putting one of my fingers on the trigger. His warm hand wrapped around mine, his finger resting on top of mine. The two contrasting warmths made me shiver. He slowly lifted our hands up, with the muzzle resting on his temple.
I sat there, confused. "What are you doing, Tom?"
"I love you so much, Tord. I wish I could stay, but I can hear Matt and Edd calling my name. They're so close. It's my time to join them, Baby. I'm sorry."
He lifted his head up and out lips met. This kiss tasted like sadness and metal. I silently let the tears stream down my face as I kissed back.
He smiled sadly at me before closing his eyes. He lightly squeezed his finger, causing mine to push down on the trigger.
BANG.
The sickening sound filled the air. I was left in shock as I watched the crimson liquid flow out of the side of his head. I clutched his body and started crying.

Tom's P.O.V
I could hear Tord crying, but I couldn't see him. Had my plan not worked? Until I saw them.
"We've been waiting for you, Tom." Edd smiled, sweetly yet seemingly sad.
I didn't hesitate to run to him, pulling him into a hug and pushing my face into his shoulder. I cried like I've never cried before.
He hugged me back, and I could feel the soft bouncing of his shoulders as he cried. I didn't understand, why was he crying?
"Edd...? Why are you crying?"
"We left you! All alone, Matt and I both. And it broke my heart every time I heard you come talk to me. You dealt with that, with no one to lean on or cry to. I'm so sorry."
I calmed down and gave Matt a hug. We repeated the same steps. They put both of their arms around my shoulders as we walked off.
I'm finally happy, Tord. I hope you will be too, one day. I love you so much.

A/N: This isn't the end yet. I'm too evil to stop here lol.
