When Tord woke, he found that he he was still laying on the couch, but Edd was sitting with him, and his head was on Edd's lap.

At first, Tord was going to let Edd know that he was awake, but decided against that idea. He felt peaceful there, with Edd running a hand through his hair.

Tord felt like he could fall right back to sleep, and he almost did, until he fell off the couch.

He landed on his right shoulder, and a jolt of pain shot through his entire body. To be honest, every part of his body hurt when he hit the floor.

Edd shot up, eyes wide. "Oh! Tord! Are you okay!?" Edd hopped off the couch and helped his friend up. Tord nodded, rubbing his shoulder.

"Well... Since your awake I guess we can look at your injuries...." Edd mumbled. "If thats okay with you.." "Yeah.. We should probably look at them" Edd stared at his friend in slight shock, he wasn't expecting a sentence after his explanation of his face injury an hour ago. "My throat feels a lot better..." Though his voice was scratchy, his throat was feeling much better. Before Tord could react, he was engulfed in a warm hug. "That's great!"

And again, before Tord could react Edd pulled away from the hug. "Come on, all the medical stuff is in the bathroom" Edd and Tord walked to the bathroom. Edd walked into his room, and walked back out with a pair of shorts that he tossed at Tord. "Put these on so I can see why you can't walk very well"

"""""""""""""""""""""

Tord was sitting on the floor, in the shorts Edd had given him when the Cola-Holic walked in. His eyes went wide upon seeing the cuts running all along Tord's legs. The cuts were long and deep, some were scabs, but others weren't. "Oh jeez, how did I not notice that..? How did you not notice that?" Tord shrugged. Truth was, he did notice, he just didn't want to worry Edd.

Edd sighed and grabbed the gauze and scissors, and he began to bandage his friends legs, soon enough he was done. "Okay.. Anything else hurt?" Tord nodded "My shoulder..." "..I.. I'm gonna need you to.. Take off the hoodie and the shirt...."

Tord did as told, and removed both the hoodie and shirt and tossed them to the side. Edd sighed. Tord's shoulder had a bullet wound, and a long cut dangerously close to the other wound. Tord's chest and stomach were covered in cuts and burn wounds. Edd bit his lip "You don't remember what happened..?" Tord shook his head. "Sorry Edd.."

"No, no, don't be, it's not your fault" Edd glanced at the roll of gauze he had, and knew it wouldn't be enough. "I'll be back, okay? I have to buy more gauze, I'll be quick" "Okay, Edd.." "Stay here"

"""""""""""""""

There was the soft click of the door unlocking, Tord perked up slightly, it was probably Edd. He heard the door open, and shut. And then he heard footsteps, and a voice.

A voice that was not Edd's

"Edd?" The voice called out, and Tord shakily got up and closed and locked the door, he was not going to go through this again, not after he almost died. He slowly shuffled back to where he was sitting, and sat back down, his heart pounding.

"Anyone here?" Tord pulled his knees to his chest and buried his face in them. He was scared.

There was footsteps outside of the bathroom door, and Tord's heart dropped. 'Please, Please let him think no ones here'

The footsteps stopped. "I can see the light on, I'm not stupid. And I know that's you, Tord"

Tord didn't say a word. And the footsteps disappeared, for a little bit. They returned, and the doorknob began to jiggle as if someone was trying to open or unlock it.
