Tom POV 

Water submerged my body as I jumped,I stop holding my breath and breathing in the water,I open my eyes for what seemed like the final time,then a saw a splash in the water and a figure swimming towards me,They cradle me bridal style out of the water,I look up to see Tord, before everything went black.

Tord POV 

I swim out,praying that he was okay, I put him onto the shore,and try to give him CPR,but nothing worked, terrified,I cradle him once more and rush to the house,hoping I'm not too late,I pound on the door,crying,Edd opens it and sees me soaking wet with a unconscious Tom, equally as wet, he looks terrified and ceases Toms unconscious body, he calls 911 and wakes everyone up,I see Tom and whispered repeatedly "please be okay, Please be okay,Please be okay",then all of a sudden I feel as though some invisible force just kicked me in the balls! I hiss and it happens again 3 times,at this point I've fallen on the floor,crying from the pain,I sit up, okay,I'm fine, then suddenly I feel one that is extra hard,I hold my nuts again on the verge of tears, god damn,Edd then rushes back in with Lizzy and Matt,who all look terrified,when I go to grab Tom to get out the door,Lizzy runs up and grabs my hand, glaring at me as if saying, "I will fucking murder you if you move a millimeter" she then picks him up,even though she looked as though she was about to fall over she held him and glared still, I gulp and we rush to the car,  Lizzy holds tom as if he were her child,I asked if I could hold him instead and she growled with gritted teeth, "I will make sure you NEVER hurt him again, and if you do, so help me because I will voluntarily beat your fucking ass" I gulp,shit, I've really done it now.


After  breaking the speed limit by 50 miles,we made it to the hospital,we quickly park and dash in,Lizzy seeming to have gotten stronger as she was now running and carrying him as if he was light as air,we go to the counter and she asks in a monotone voice, "Hello,What do you nee-" I interrupted her by shouting, "HIS NAME IS THOMAS BRIDGWELL,28 YEARS OLD! HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE!" I practically screamed, "okay,there's a room on the 3rd floor." She said,bored, We all book it to the stairs,Then all the way up to the third floor,We make it to the room and a much more professional woman comes toward us, "Oh my stars! Please come in!" We rush in, she immediately asks, "Okay so,will a family member or lover please change him into the hospital clothes?" never mind,she's not professional,no one raises their hand,until Lizzy speaks up, "we're all just friends." She says, "Or horn haired assholes" she grumbled. "Oh I see, well um,excuse me" she says awkwardly,as she went to see if someone else will change him, while she did this we all had time to think, Edd begins to sob and asks, "H-How did I not see it?" He cries "A-Am I just n-not caring e-enough?" He says as he sobs into his hands,shaking, "No Edd it's not!" Matt reassured him,hugging him tight,Lizzy clenched her fist and said, "He's right Edd,It's not your fault." She says before standing up, "ITS YOURS!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, "I know it is! I'm sorry-" I say, "NO! NO MORE SORRYS! SORRY WONT CUT IT! BECAUSE SORRY WONT BRING TOM BACK!" She screamed angrily, "But we don't know if he's-" I began "OK,YEAH,HE COULD BE ALIVE ,BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN HES GOING TO BE OKAY!HE'LL STILL FEEL UPSET!" She interrupted, "HE LOVED YOU! YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT?!HE LOVED YOU MORE THAN HIMSELF! AND NOW," she starts to cry "HE COULD BE DEAD BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT YOUR SORRY ASS DID LOVE HIM!" She points an accusing finger, "AND I WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING," she spoke again, "TOM DOESNT DESERVE YOU,HE CAN DO WAY BETTER THAN YOU,BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT YOUR SELFISH NEEDS,THAT YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING HE IS!" She screamed, "BECAUSE NOW HE MAY NEVER COME BACK!" She finished,slapping me across the face,my mouth was dry,she was right,I don't deserve him...the doctor comes in minutes later,wheeling in Tom in a hospital gown,I scooch up to where he laid and I was horrified at what I saw,both his arms were littered with deep cuts,some old some new,they come up behind me,Edd still clinging to Matt's arm gasps before sobbing into his chest,


The doctor then sighs,a look of solemn laced his features, "I've got some good news and some bad news" he began, " The good news is he's alive" he says happily, then I asked, "And the bad news?" I asked, "The bad news is," he began,expression darkening, "Your Friend has gone into a coma,and,we aren't certain when he'll wake up" Hearing this Lizzy gasped, While Edd cried even harder...but for me,every thing just froze,I couldn't move,it felt like the world was ending,Then the doctor left,Then suddenly I was snapped out of my trance when I heard Lizzy begin to speak,"You" she started "Will never" she steps closer "DESERVE TOM'S LOVE YOU SELFISH MORON!" She says pulling me by my hoodie collar and puts her face dangerously close to mine before shoving me away, I rub my neck and she walks away, unable to handle it anymore,"I don't think you understand the damage you've done,"she spat, but then whips her head around and looks me dead in the eye "You make me sick,Larrsin," she growls through gritted teeth before slamming the door behind her,I put my face in my hands and sigh,Matt then suddenly gently touches my shoulder,I look up at him and he smiles, "It's going to be okay..." he smiled gently,I slowly began to sob as I hug Edd and Matt,as we all cry together.


(WOO! Scared ya there didn't I?Also Lizzy is the real mvp so yeah,This is happening,edginess I guess)
