Tord
I walked down the hall my head hung low. It was my fault Tom got hurt, it's obvious of Colin's jealous of the attention I give to Tom. It's not out of spite, even though I don't particularly like Colin, it's just Toms company is a lot more pleasant than that of Colin's.

I walked into the kitchen the theatre had. Spotting Edd and Matt at the rickety table and knowing how close they were to Tom, especially Edd, I advanced towards them. "Hey Edd, Matt"

They looked up at me and smiled "Hey Tord, why the long face?"

"It's Tom." When I said that Edd shot up

"What about Tom, is he hurt? Is he okay? Where is he?"

I held up my hands in defence when I heard his accusing tone. "Yes he's hurt but it wasn't me. He's in my room right now resting while I get some food. You may go and see him if you like."

"Thank you Tord." Edd hurried off hand in hand with his fiancé who simply nodded his head at me.

I went and grabbed some lovely food from our even lovelier kitchen chef Betty. She was an elderly lady but absolutely loveable.

Anyway after getting the food I made my way up to my room. As I came to the door it was slightly open so I looked in to see Edd sat by Tom and Matt occupying the window chair.

Edd said something which made Tom laughed and it was just beautiful. I don't know why I didn't see Tom in this light sooner, probably made us both a lot happier earlier on.

"We see you spying there Tord." Tom voice sounded as he looked over to me. I wore a sheepish grin as I made my way over the other side of my bed.

"I brought food." I held out the tray in front of me and placed it on Toms lap. "You can pick what you want and I'll have what you don't want."

He picked out one of the plates and I grabbed the other. He knew all too well at how good Betty's cooking was as he hummed in delight after taking a bite.

I watched Tom for a moment almost forgetting Edd was there until I heard a chuckle from him. What I hadn't realised was that he had made his way to sit with Matt.

"What you laughing about!?" Tom asked as he shot Edd a confused look.

"Nothing love. Nothing." He chuckled again and Tom shook his head.

I knew exactly what Edd was laughing at, he was laughing at how Tom had me wrapped around his little finger in such a short space of time. Without even realising it.

I had fallen under some kind of love spell.

I was shaken out of my thoughts as Tom waved his hand in front of my face.

Edd was confusing me as some how he was now stood next to the bed his arm linked with Matt's.

"We're leaving lover boy. See you tonight for the show yeah?"

I nodded.

"Sure. Bye Edd. Matt."

"Bye guys!" Tom called as they left not before shooting me a wink.

I chuckle under my breath at Edds childish behaviour. Tom yawning caught my attention "you're tired still?"

"Mmhmm." He rubbed his eyes while I took the tray off his lap and set it on the night stand.

"How 'bout we take a nap for an hour?" Tom nodded weakly and settled down. I was about to walk to my claimed spot on the window sill but Tom reached out.

"You know you can sleep here." He motioned to the spot next to him. So I did just that.

It was a snug fit but we both fit as I wrapped an arm around Tom "this okay?" I whispered.

He hummed in agreement and we both fell asleep.

I was awoken by a knock at the door. I carefully got off the bed trying not to disturb Toms sleeping figure. A boy was stood at the door holding a sheet of paper.

"You have 2 hours until the show starts Tord."

"Thank you." The boy nodded and made his way back. I closed the door and looked back at Tom only to see him staring back. I jumped a little bit seeing him sat up. I put a hand over my heart. "You scared me."

He looked confused which caused me to laugh and him to groan and fall back. Winding slightly possibly from putting pressure on a wound. "I'm a light sleeper." He mumbled tiredly.

"So am I." I stated them walked to my wardrobe grabbing the required clothing for tonight's show.

"Oh I love that show!" Tom exclaimed as I held my costume over my forearm. Laughing as I groaned at his eagerness.

"I hate this show, it's the hardest."

I looked at Tom as his eyes shined and a grin plastered his face "I think you perform it perfectly."

I smiled at him. If he thinks I perform it perfectly than I will perform it damn perfectly tonight just for him then. Granting he coming along.

"Well I better go to my spot before someone steals it. You're going to your dressing room?"

"Yup. I still need the right make up on."

He stood up from the bed quickly grabbing the clothes I had set out for him. I walked over to him placing a kiss on his forehead to which he smiled at. He's so freaking cute.

"See you later."

"I'll be watching." He confirmed smiling.

I looked back at him before walking out of my room and to my dressing room to get ready for tonight's show.
