Scars Don't Heal Themselves (TomTord)

Becoming friends

Tom POV

After a while of helping the pastel loving kid, he soon calmed down and looked at me. I smiled at him and hugged him tighter.

"T-thank y-you," he said, his voice was quiet and shaky but I could still hear him perfectly fine.

Time skip because of my awful up sleep schedule

After a while of talking and calming him down. He told me that his name is Tord and he's from Norway, which explains the accent and for some reason he told me about his past and why he tried to cut himself.

He told me that his family is a complete mess. His dad is abusive and an alcoholic, his mom works 24/7 just so they don't go poor or homeless, his sister is in her 20s now and she still lives with her parents.

His dad started abusing his mom and Tord because of his Aunt dying. He blames his aunt because apparently she started smoking when she was 55 years old. She had gotten lung cancer and refused to take the surgery.

His dad became extremely depressed after that she began to use drugs and start drinking alcohol. When Tord was 14 I think he started abusing him and his mom.

Tord had gotten depression and anxiety from this abuse he has went through as a pre Teen, still in middle school.
