Therapy

I love You

-Tords POV-

*Tom coughing* "T-Tord?" I heard his raspy voice call out. I looked over at him on the couch. I walked over to him helping him sit up. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "I'm fine." I still inspected his face looking for something, anything that would tell me he wasn't ok.

I sat back into my chair. I sighed. "If you need to talk I'm here, that's my job as your doctor and your friend I'm here to listen." I said. Just wanting to make sure he was ok. "I said I'm fucking fine!" He snapped. I sighed. I knew why he was mad I just didn't know how to explain this to him.

"Tom look at me." I said. His 'eyes' flickered in annoyance but he looked up at me. "I don't hate you, whatever conclusions you've come up with about why I switched your therapist are wrong." I explained. My heart was racing.

He rolled his 'eyes.' "Whatever it doesn't matter." He said. "You really expect me to believer that?" I asked. "Tom I know you, this is bothering you because you want an explanation, something to put your mind at ease." I said. He looked away.

I'm just gonna come right out and say it. Come on Tord you got this.

"Tom I love you."

It felt like time froze. Tom froze.

-Toms POV-
I froze. My heart was racing. No one has ever said those meaningful words to me and meant it. Tears pricked at my eyes threatening to spill. I looked at him as a tear escaped. "No.... you don't mean that! Take it back!" I said frantically terrified of the possibility of love even existing.

"I mean it Tom." He said. I stood up backing away shaking my head. It was getting harder to breathe. More tears spilled. Tord stood up as well. "YOU CANT SAY THAT!" I spat at him sobbing. I sat down hugging my knees rocking myself back and forth.

He kneeled down in front of me. "go away don't touch me!" I spat terrified. I looked at him afraid. Afraid of being hurt all over again. He brought his hand up and I flinched I looked away ducking, expecting to get smacked. I sobbed more. "Tom you didn't think I was gonna hit you did you?" He asked. *silence*

He moved his hand closer until it gently touched my chin. He pulled my chin so I was looking at him. He gently caressed my cheek wiping away the tears with his thumb. "Tom you don't have to be afraid. No one a gonna hurt you." He said.

No ones gonna hurt you.....

I've heard that one before.

Then and there I made up my mind. I needed to get out of here forever. I just needed to be gone. So many years I dreamt about what it would be like to be invisible. I thought about how me being gone would effect other people. I'm better off gone. There's nothing for me here, never has been and never will be. I went numb.

My tears stopped flowing, my heart stopped racing. A blank expression took place on my face as I looked at Tord one last time. Then I got up and ran out the door.

A/N: I'm sorry this one is short I had to leave it on a cliff hanger.
