Ice Cold (TomTord)

29. Panicking

Edd's POV:

My eyes widened. "W-what do you mean he's gone..?" I asked him. "It's Tord... He's not in his room..." He answered. Tom looked shocked and actually...pretty worried.

"We need to find him!" He said. He looked like he was panicking. I went up to him and hugged him. He hugged me back. I patted his back a few times. "Don't worry, Tom. I'm sure we'll find him." I said in a calming voice.

He nodded and we pulled away. "Okay, so. Where do you think he went?" I asked him. "I-I don't know. Maybe...he just went out for a little while?" He said. "Hmm, maybe. I'm pretty sure he will leave a note or something." I said.

"Well, maybe he did. Come on, let's look around the house." Tom said. Me and Matt nodded and we started to search through the house.

After a while of searching, we found nothing. But when I was in the kitchen, I saw something I didn't expect... A picture of...Tord and Tom kissing... I was really suprised. I said to myself that I will ask Tom about that later.

We were now in the living room. "So, did any of you find anything?" Tom asked. Me and Matt looked at each other and shook our heads. Tom sighed and looked down. "Should we call the police or something?" I asked.

Tom thought about it. "I guess... I was watching the tv yesterday and heard that the Red Army is no more... So I guess he's not really you know...wanted." Tom said. "Okay, I'll call them." I said and pulled out my phone.

I dialed the number and waited. I looked over at Tom. He looked really sad. 'Oh my, I never thought Tom would be this upset... I hope he'll be okay...'

Tom's POV:

I kept looking at my feet, thinking about Tord. 'I could have stop him. He maybe still feels like we don't care about him... What if something bad happened to him?' I thought and sighed. Edd was still talking on the phone and me and Matt were silent.

Matt then suddenly pulled me into a hug. "Hey Tim...umm...I mean Tom. I'm sure he's okay." He said. I chuckled quietly. 'Heh, he actually is saying my name right...' I thought to myself and hugged him back. "Thanks, Matt."

Edd finished the phone call and looked at us. "They said they will search for him. Oh and, he said that if we want to, we can make some missing posters." Edd said.

"I think that's a good idea." I said and smiled softly. Matt nodded in agreement. "Let's make some then." Edd said. We took some papers and sat at the table. Edd was writing and Matt helped him.

"I think I'll go look into the forest." I said. They both looked up at me, confused. I rolled my 'eyes'. "That's the place where we found him. I'll go look out there and see if he's there." I explained. "Oh, okay." Edd said.

I left the house, closing the door behind me. I took a deep breath of the cold air and started walking towards the forest.

"Turn back..." I heard someone in my mind say. 'Why should I?' I thought. "You're wrong if you think he's there..." I stopped walking and thought about it. 'Well, it's worth a try.' I thought and continued walking. The voice didn't say anything.

I walked into the forest and started making my way to that place where I found him almost...drown... I sighed when I thought about that. I hated that memory. I reached the place and looked around.

I searched everywhere, but found nobody. 'If he's not here, then I doubt he's somewhere else in this forest...' I thought. "Told you."

Tord's POV:

I was laying on the cool hard ground in my new allyway I called home. I sighed and closed my eyes. I actually wanted to fall asleep and never wake up, but on the other side, I wanted to just open them again and be laying in my bed in my friends' house...

But that of course didn't happen... I opened them again and sighed softly. My chest hurt, my throat was burning and my head was spinning.

I felt slightly dizzy. I wanted to...actually eat something... I guess the pills worked, huh? Well, then I regretted it. If it didn't work, I wouldn't want to eat something. I rolled my eyes at my stupidity.

My throat then suddenly started to burn even more. I felt like throwing up... I started coughing violently... It was blood again. Tears started to fall from my face. Blood came out of my mouth and it was burning.

I sobbed quietly and hid my face. I stopped coughing and the pain stopped. I sighed and closed my eyes. 'I just want to wake up. I wish this was just a bad dream...' I thought. I started shaking. It was cold and all I had was my torn up hoodie.

I cried to myself. I was shaking even more from the cold. I just wanted to sit on the couch cuddled with Tom and watching 'The Return Of The Insane Zombie Pirates From Hell' with Edd and Matt.

I sighed and opened my eyes again. Something small and cold fell on my nose. I looked up and saw that it started snowing. I sighed. 'Great...' I thought and sneezed.

I kept looking up at the sky. It was getting late and I've been out here for a few hours. I wondered if the guys were searching for me... And if Matt and Edd already returned.

I watched at the little snowflakes kept falling to the ground making a quiet sparkling noise. I took a deep breath and a small cloud came from my mouth. I didn't know what should I do. I wanted to listen to some music, but I didn't have any headphones or my phone. And I couldn't sing since my throat hurt again.

I closed my eyes and thought about my...friends. My lover... My Tommie... I wanted to be with him, but I was really starting to believe that he just wanted to hurt me. A hot tear fell from my face and I sneezed again.

I was tired and wanted to sleep. I kept my eyes closed and listened to the wind whooshing and snowflakes sparkling... It was...relaxing... I then fell into a deep sleep, still hearing the snow sparkle in the wind...
