Ice Cold (TomTord)

20. He's okay!

Edd's POV:

Me and Matt were watching the tv, pretty bored when suddenly my phone started buzzing. I looked at it. It was Tom! I picked it up.

Edd: Heya, Tom! What's up?
Tom: ...Edd, I need to...tell you something...

I flinched at the tone of his voice. It sounded like he was crying! What happened to him? I was getting more and more worried. I wanted answers.

Edd: W-what is it, Tom?
Tom: ...Tord...got hit by a truck...
Edd: WHAT!?
Tom: ...I-I tried to save him, but he was like he couldn't hear me! Maybe another possesion...

I started to tear up. Matt looked at me, confused. "What's wrong, Edd?" He asked me in a worried tone. "T-Tord got hit by a truck..." I answered, shaking. Matt put his hand on my shoulder and tried to comfort me.

Edd: And, is he alive..?
Tom: W-well, yes. But he's getting a surgery right now. I'm in the hospital, waiting. You two can come here as well if you want.
Edd: O-of course, we'll be there in a minute.

I hung up and started running towards my car, pulling Matt behind me. I threw him into the passenger seat and I got in too. I started the car and we started riding to the hospital. I sighed. 'I hope Tord's gonna be okay...'

Tom's POV:

Edd hung up a while ago and I just sat there, staring at the ground and waiting for the doctors to come out. I wanted the little red hoddied Norski to just come out and say that it was all just a joke and a plan to scare me, but of course it didn't happen.

It didn't take long before Edd and Matt arrived. They sat next to me. I didn't know, what to feel, Edd was crying and even though Matt looked really confused, he looked kinda worried.

We waited for another two hours when the doctor finally came. We looked up at him almost immediately. "So, how is he?" Edd asked and stood up. The doctor sighed. "He's...going to be fine." He said.

Edd and I sighed in relief. "I'm so glad to hear that." he said, smiling. We saw a few nurses come from the door with a bed with those wheels. I caught a glimpse of two familiar devilish horns. The nurses took him somewhere.

"Where is he now?" I asked. "I'll take you there." The doctor answered and we followed the nurses. The took him into a room number 365.

We walked in and gasped. Tord looked...horrible. His left arm was covered with bandages and so was his right side of his face and his head.

His foot was also covered in a gypsum. The doctor sighed as we stayed silent, staring at Tord. "He was very lucky that he even survived. His left arm and his right side of his face is all scarred and his leg is broken." The doctor said.

We stayed silent. "And, what about his head?" I asked him. "When the truck hit him, he fell on his head. We think it might caused some brain damage, but we did our best to help him." He answered.

I came closer to his bed and so did Edd and Matt. "Also, he...will not be able to walk on his leg so we have to give him some crutches." The doctor added. The doctor then left the room.

I almost started to cry when I saw him just laying there, but I stopped myself. He'll be okay, right? It's Tord! He'll always be okay..!

We took some chairs so that we could sit next to his bed. Edd and Matt were talking about something, but I wasn't listening to them. I was just looking at Tord. I knew he is going to wake up soon. I just knew it.

And then suddenly, Tord's...eye started to open. I gasped. "guys, look! I think he's waking up!" I said and smiled. Edd and Matt immediately stopped talking and looked over at Tord. He slowly opened his eye and looked over at us.

"Tord! You're awake!" Edd said while smiling. Tord looked confused. "W-who are you..?" He asked. Our smiles faded and turned into frowns. "W-what..? You don't remember us?" I asked him.

He slowly shook his head. I could feel tears form in my 'eyes'. I couldn't stop them this time. 'He...doesn't remember us... Why..? Why can't you remember your friends..?' I thought and wiped the tears of my face.

He looked a bit sad. "I-I'm sorry... My head hurts a lot..." He said and placed his right arm on my shoulder. I sobbed a few times.

"I'm really sorry, but I'll try my best to remember!" He said and weakly smiled at me, trying to cheer me up. I smiled back at him slightly.

"How about you try to remind me something? Maybe I'll remember!" He said. I nodded. "Remember that time when I wanted a cat? And then you saw a grey cat laying in one of the allyways so you took it with you and you gave it to me! It was Ringo!" Edd said.

"That...sound familiar. Tell me your names, please." He said. "I'm Tom, this is Edd and this is Matt." I introdused ourselves. "We are your friends." Matt added. Tord smiled.

"That really does sound familiar." He said. "Oh, remember that time when we wanted to save Matt from zombies when he was trapped at the train station?" Edd said. Tord thought about it. His face lit up. "Yes!" he said.

"Or when we were little kids and we were best friends! You bought me Tomme Bear. Rememeber him?" I asked him. "Yes! I do!" He said in a cheerful voice. We all smiled at him.

"Guys! I remember you!" He yelled. We all cheered and Edd hugged him, but pulled away, becase he heard Tord yelp in pain. Tord was holding his arm, not smiling anymore.

"What happened to me?" He asked. "You...got hit by a truck... I brought you here." I answered him. Tord sighed and looked down. "Oh..." He said. We all stayed silent until the doctor came in. "Oh, I see you're awake now." He said. Tord nodded slowly.

"Well, you will be able to go home after you try to stand up and walk with these crutches." He said. Tord nodded again. and tried to sit up. We helped him. When he finally sat up, he was suppose to stand up, but he didn't.

He looked kinda pale. "Tord, are you alright?" I asked him. He looked at me. "Y-yeah, I just feel a little dizzy, that's all." He answered.

We helped him to stand up and the doctor handed us the crutches. Tord took them and tried to walk with them. He felt dizzy for a while, but then it was okay.

"Alright, you are able to go home now. Please return the crutches after you don't need them anymore." The doctor said and left the room. We smiled at Tord and he smiled back. We left the room as well and we then walked out of the hospital, heading towards our car.

I help Tord a little and then got in there myself. Edd started the car and we started driving home.
I glanced over at Tord to see him zoned out. I smiled to myself and looked out of the window, watching the trees passing by.

I actually fell asleep in the car. I had a dream. Me and Tord were there. He was completly healed, not crutches, no bandages. We were on top of a hill, watching the sunset as cherry blossoms were falling on the ground. It was peaceful...
