My sweetie (Eddsworld)

15. High on sugar

My picture once again. Also sorry if this chapter took a long time, I tried to make it longer.(2038 words)

Tom's POV:

I felt bad. Like, really bad. I never wanted to hurt Tordie. I was trying so hard not to cry out in pain, at least I could finally move. It always brought a lot of pain though. But whatever, at least I knew it wasn't broken or something. Tord smiled at me, but I still knew he wasn't happy..

He needed help. At that point, I knew I was a bad parent. We used to be enemies and now I loved him and also now, he was my whole world. I would protect him, but hurting him was unintentional. I was also pretty sure Edd and Matt didn't mean it too. Tord was a little kid, still innocent and unaware of the pain and lies in this world.

He cut my thoughts off. "Dad..?" I saw a frown form on his face, this cut me in half like a knife. "Yes?" He looked down. "Am I a bad son?" I stayed quiet. What was I suppose to say to that!? He wasn't! Of course not!

"Tord, I..." I couldn't say it. Why? He was the best kid I could ever wish for. "No, I understnd, papa..." He pulled me away from him and started walking away. I stopped him, of course. "Tord, it's not like that, I love you! I love you a lot! You're not a bother at all, please don't say that.."

And with that, I carefully picked him up and he wrapped his small and shaking rms around my neck. He rested his hed on my shoulder. "Jeg elsker deg også.." I didn't understand a word he said, it was probably something in norwegian.

I brushed it off and pulled him closer, but being careful not to hurt both of us. He mumbled something under his breath.

"Tord, are you okay?"

"I'm just fine, dad."

"No, you're not. What's wrong?"

"It's just that..."

He looked me with an emotionless expression.

"I know that you're lying..."

Edd's POV:

Matt was crying and I was trying my best to comfort him. But nothing was working. He was shaking like a sheep that was about to get eaten by a wolf. "Matt, calm do-" "Edd, we've made a big mistake!" I sighed. "You said that five times already. I know, but there is still a chance. We just have to control ourself better, okay? He's going to be alright. I promise you!"

He looked at me and glanced at Tord and Tom's room. "But what about Tom..?" "He'll take care of him.." He just nodded, deciding to trust me. We sat there for a while, waiting for the two. But they didn't seem to come.. That made us worry a little bit.

"Should we go look what they're doing?" I asked. Matt stood up without saying a word. 'I take that as a yes.' I thought and followed him up the stairs.

We knocked on the door. Tom opened it after three seconds. He seemed okay, but I couldn't see Tord. I looked down to see him hugging his leg and looking up at us. I smiled and kneeled down beside him. I helped Tom get him off and hugged him a bit tighter than I should have.

He winced in pain for some reason and I let go of him and shot a worried glance at him. "Are you okay.?" He just nodded, rubbing his arm. I let it be, but I knew he wasn't...okay. Something must have happened. We all went back downstairs and were thinking about what to do.

Tord looked bored as he was hugging Tom's arm. Tom kept him close, this made me feel a bit better about earlier. 'We should watch out for what we're saying..' I took a mental note.

"...Where are my parents..?" Tord suddenly said, breaking the awkward silence that was filling the room. Nobody answered him though. He asked again. But we didn't respond. He sighed and let go of Tom. I watched him stand up and cross his arms, looking at us. "Why won't you tell me? Why do you always get angry when we talk about them?" He repeated.
