Child's Play ( DISCONTINUED )

Chapter One: Readjusting

Toms P.O.V

I couldn't sleep. I haven't been able to since that commie almost - ya know, killed us last week. And I knew Edd and Matt couldn't either. Everything has been different since then. I've been drinking more, Edd and Matt have been quiet, and everyone keeps weapons in their apartments now. Just in case. Not to mention last time me and Matt were at his apartment for Friday movie night, we saw a bunch of pictures with Tord in them in the trash along with the movie, 'Return of the Insane Zombie Pirates from Hell 4', the movie Tord lent him. I sighed and looked at the clock. '4:56' It read. Great, I spent all night just staring at the ceiling. I reached onto my bedside table and got my sleeping pills. I don't usually take them unless I feel up to it, and tonight I didn't really want to take them-but I haven't slept in about 5 days and I was really tired. Like, really, really, REALLY tired. I took one as instructed and put them back where they once were before flopping back onto my bed to at least TRY to sleep. As if on cue, I immediately slipped into unconsciousness-trapped in the sweet, sweet, embrace of sleep.

Edds P.O.V

I immediately woke up to find that Ringo had jumped on me, as if knowing it was time to get up. I stared at him for a little while, trying to fully wake up. Ringo cocked his head to the side and let out a quiet meow. I flopped back down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm, groaning. Ringo got up and nudged my arm with his nose a couple of times. I giggled and mumbled, "Okay, okay, I'm up!" I sat up in bed and looked at the time. '9:23' it read. "Oh-I'm sorry Ringo! It's WAY past your breakfast time! C'mon baby cat-i'll feed you now." Ringo seemed satisfied with this, and got off of me, meowing happily. I shook my head and smiled. Ringo is like my baby, he just makes me so happy..! I got up, throwing on my hoodie and walking out of my room to feed my 'child'. After I fed Ringo, I got up and started making breakfast. Even though Matt, Tom, and I live in different apartments, they still came over to my place for breakfast most of the time, mainly because I'm the only one that knows how to not burn the apartment building down. Although sometimes Matt bakes things like muffins and cookies, but only sometimes. While I was making the eggs, Ringo rubbed his head agents my leg, which made me smile and laugh a little. I was about to text Matt and Tom because I was done with breakfast, when I heard a knock at my door.
