Edd's POV

I made it to the shop and looked around trying to find Tord. Finally, I found a pair of devil horns at the front desk. It looks like he's talking to someone.

I walked up to the desk and sat next to Tord. He turned to me and his eyes widened. He started to rub his face with his hands.

"Will that be all?" The woman at the desk asked him. He shook his head. "Add another coffee to the order please." He mumbled. "Okay." She walked to the kitchen doors.

"Edd..i-im sorry, I didn't m-mean to start a fight with him...I really am.." I put a hand on his shoulder.

"Tord, look at me." Tord slowly looked up and faced me and I almost screamed. He had a black eye and he had dried up blood around his mouth and nose. His eyes were shiny like he was crying.

I snatched him up rushing to the bathroom. "Edd?! Where are we going?!" He tried to pull away. I pushed him into the bathroom.

"Why would you come in here and order a drink with your face looking like that!?" He chuckled.

"You sound like Matt." I thought through what he said and I started laughing. "Your right."

We both laughed for a couple seconds before I cleared my throat. "Anyway, clean up your face. Matt is outside with Tom so we better hurry." Tord nodded as I walked out the bathroom.

I was walking back to the front desk when I heard the woman calling an order. "Tord Lawsin!*I changed the last name on purpose..* Two medium Coffees!" I ran up to the desk.

"Yes, that's my friend. He'll be out in a minute." She sat the cups down and walked away. I sat there rubbing my temples trying to process everything that happened a few minutes ago.

Matt's POV

I sat in the back seat next to Tom rubbing his back. He started to calm down after a while.

He sighed putting his face in his hands. "Are you okay?" I asked. He nodded sitting back in the seat.

"Yea. Its just that I- well I didn't mean to hurt him but..." He trailed off his sentence. "But?" I wanted him to continue. "But I just got boiled up inside. I don't know what's wrong with me." 

He started to silently cry. I sat closer and wrapped my arms around him pulling him closer. "Shhhh, don't cry Tom. It'll be okay. We'll help you."

He rubbed his eyes sniffing a couple times. He wrapped his arms around me and we just stayed like that for the rest of the time we waited for Edd and Tord.

Tord's POV

I walked back up to the desk seeing that my order was already there.

I grabbed my cup and walked toward the door but something pulled me back. 

"Wait Tord. We need to talk." Edd said a bit serious. I sat down facing him. "Talk about what?"

He rolled his eyes. "Y'know, Tom..and you.." I tilted my head. He sighed.

"Whatever. I just need you and Tom to have a little talk, not as soon as we get home but..when you two are ready for it. Maybe if you just talk and take it slow, you may get a friendship with him." I looked down.

"Pfft, like he'll ever let that happen." Edd grabbed my shoulder. "You see? That's what I mean. If you two talk, you get to know each other more and you'll never know, he might actually forgive you."

I nodded and stood up walking out the door. "Tord!" He called out but I didn't turn back.

I walked down the long parking lot finally coming across the old red car Edd still has from his parents.
