『22』

"mr fowler, your gay is showing"

i know. i painted my nails black :)

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah," I replied. Tord relaxed against the tree.

"That's really... deep." Tord's eyebrows furrowed.

"Eh, I could deal with it. It's how I've grown to be." I mumbled, getting a little irritated by the noises of the waterfall.

Tord gazed at me. "It'll get better." Tord's knuckles brushed against my cheek. I knew my face was turning red because Tord giggled.

We heard the rustling of leaves behind us but since we were so distracted in each other's eyes, we didn't hear the sound of that b̶i̶t̶c̶h̶'s̶ voice.

"Hey, Tom, Tord." Lindsay said, brushing the leaves off her skirt.

Tord didn't exactly say a greeting back but he acknowledged her existence by sighing heavily.

"Why and how did you find us, Lindsay?"

Lindsay blushes and removed her phone from her denim jacket. "On snapchat, you don't have ghost mode on."

"I don't have snapchat," Tord muttered. "I-I meant Tom,"

Tord looked at me in a bit of disappointment. I shrugged my shoulders. "You didn't answer my first question." Tord now leaned against my shoulder, as if trying to prove to Lindsay what's his.

But I'm not his.

He's not my daddy.

I mean- dad.

. . .

Lindsay snapped me out of my inappropriate thoughts by putting her hair up in a messy bun. Sure, she looked cute but she wasn't my type.

"I found you because Matt was complaining about Edd and it wasn't really satisfying to hear." She complained, looking at the waterfall.

"Uh-huh." Tord dulled, now eating the gummy snacks he possibly packed.

Lindsay turned around, looking at Tord. "Can I have one?"

"I only share my food with my lover." He snapped, showing all the gummy snacks in his mouth. "And that lover is me."

Tord looked at me and winked, then opened up another gummy snack bag.

Wh-

Huh?

It got silent for a while then Lindsay sat down in front of us. "Why didn't you do it?"

Silence.

The waterfall's sounds faded and the sound of the wind disappeared.

"Why didn't I do what?" I asked, glaring slightly.

"Why didn't you j̸̧̨͓̟̙̙͎̬͗̄̏̈́̀̄̕ũ͈͎͉͎̙̖̇̾̉͆͂̚͞͝m̸̡̛͓̩̜̖̹̣͎̙̎͑͛̑̀̒̔̚͟p̴̡̧̯̮̲̟̝̜̣̣̓́̂͑̑̑̑̋̉͞?"

"Why didn't I what?"

"Why didn't you—

"Tom?"

Looking into those two toned eyes calmed me down for some reason. I felt a comfortable warm feeling across my chest. It took me a couple of seconds to realize someone was hugging me. But not just someone,

Tord.

The comfortable feeling left after a couple of minutes. "Are you okay?" I heard Tord and Lindsay asked in sync.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine,"

"Tom, I know you're not fine, you almost started crying—"

And for some reason I snapped.

"What do you know, Tord? You don't know anything about me! If I say I'm fine, I'm fine!"

I expected Tord to coward back, be afraid of me.

But he was no coward. He was confident and too proud of himself to let anyone bring him down.

"Excuse me? Tom, remember when we found out you cut yourself? Remember when I spent the night with you? Remember when I kissed you? I think I have I know more about you than you yourself because most of the time you're talking to yourself in that head of yours! Not only is it upsetting, it's terrifying!"

"If it's so terrifying, then walk the fuck away!"

Tord yanked me forward. "Don't get me mad. You and I both know it'll be our biggest regret—"

"I don't care if I get you mad or not, your emotions and feelings don't matter to me!"

Lie.

That was a big lie.

Not only was that a lie, he was right.

I did regret making him mad.

"You know what, Thomas? Remember when you were on that roof at the school?"

I knew I'd regret it.

Tord regrets it.

I could even tell by Lindsay's face, she regrets coming. Even after what Tord said,

"I wish you would've just
jumped!"

Lindsay shoves Tord onto the ground below and she yelled.

She literally yelled at him for saying I should've jumped.

And thinking about that,

I wish I just jumped
too.
