When You Go (EddTom)

Chapter 7

Edd's P.O.V
The doctor came back, and put his arm in a cast and sent us on our merry way.
The car was in the parking lot, probably driven by a paramedic.
There was a huge dent in the door, but there wasn't too much more damage than that.
He tossed me the keys and got in the passenger side.
The silence consumed us and slowly ate away at my conscience.
"I'm sorry." I sighed.
"Edd, it's fine, really. I'm just tired."
He gave me a weary smile as I pulled into the driveway.
I got out of the car and went over to the passenger side and picked him up bridal style.
"Edd, I'm too heavy!" Tom yelled, laughing.
I shook my head and carried him up to his room.
I set him down in his bed and went to leave.
"You aren't gonna nap with me?" He asked, sounding very confused.
I shook my head once again and opened his door, leaving him to nap.
"Alright, I'll be next to you in a little."
I nodded and went towards my room.
I sat in my own bedroom, where my mind gnawed at me.
He DOES hate you.
No, he doesn't.
The world around me went black, everything being coated in a thick dark blanket.
Tom's P.O.V
I got up from my bed to go check on Edd. I tapped softly on his door, becoming worried when there was no answer.
I entered his room and closed the door behind me.
There, Edd sat on his bed, rocking.
"Edd, are you okay?" I asked, reaching out to him.
He looked up at me. His eyes were crazed and scared, like a deer in head lights.
I took another step forward cautiously.
He sprung out of his bed and tackled me to the ground, me landing on my back with him on top of me.
I was confused and scared as he put his hands around my throat and cut off my air circulation.
I clawed at his hands with my right hand, willing to get air.
I yelled for Matt, but soon had to stop as I felt the air completely being cut off.
My eyes rolled into the back of my head, and my body struggled to get air.
Everything went black, and a warm, peaceful feeling washed over me.
Matt's P.O.V
I heard Tom calling for me, but I was checking myself out.
I looked at myself for a couple more minutes before I sighed and headed downstairs.
I went in his room, but didn't see Tom.
He must be in Edd's room.
I opened Edd's door and stood there in horror to see Edd's hands wrapped around Tom's throat, and Tom was unmoving.
"Jesus, Edd, get off of him!"
I ran over to Edd and pulled him off of Tom. I knelt down to check on Tom, but he didn't seem to be moving.
Edd's P.O.V
Light washed in again, and I saw Matt bent over something. No, someone.
I was confused, and I crawled over, eyes widening in fear when I saw Tom.
His throat had hand prints and claw marks around it.
"Matt, what happened?!" I asked, tears flowing from my eyes as I cradled Tom.
"What do you mean? You killed him!"
Matt's eyes were wide with adrenaline and fear, but his voice cracked from sadness.
I looked down at Tom.
You said you'd be next to me...
What a liar.
