Tom was sitting on his nasty old couch sipping from a bottle of smirnoff. He started blankly at the TV in front of him, not saying a word as the bright lights danced across his face. As the alcohol ran down his throat it burned and stung the sensitive flesh. Tom didn't mind though and didn't react to the pinpricks of pain. He picked up the remote and flipped through channels as he took another swig from the bottle. He shifted and tried to get comfortable as dust fluffed up from the light grayish brown couch cushions. Tom looked over to a window that was covered it a moth eaten blue sheet. He got up and rubbed his back as he set the bottle of smirnoff he was holding on the side table. He groaned as he shuffled over the to Window, trowing open the makeshift curtain and immediately regretting it. He covered his oil black eyes as the harsh light entered his tiny unkept cave he called home. He repositioned the sheet so it blocked the Piercing light and let his hand fall to his side.

Suddenly a knock on the door jolted him out of his own little world. He stumbled to the door and opened it to the hallway. There stood his two friend, Edd and matt. Edd was holding his usual can of cola as matt tried to make sexy ((omg auto correct came up with sexy Norwegian XD)) faces at himself in his mirror. Edd was the first to speak, "hay Tom, Do you want to come over and watch insane zombie pirates from hell 5 with us?" Tom shrugged.
"As long as I get to bring my smirnoff." He huffed.
"Tom you should really stop drinking! It's bad for your health!"
"Oh shut up Edd. Your not my mom." The blue hooded man whined. Edd crossed his arms and glared at tom. Tom stared back, but eventually gave up on the content and turned to go grab his bottle of alcohol. Edd called in, "I'll leave the door open so you can get in!" Than him and matt walked to apparent 304, edd's place. Tom peeked into his kitchen and rummaged through the cabinets. All he found was some stale and plasticity tasting crackers that had probably been in there since tord blew up the old house. He felt a wave of anger wash over him. Tord. He had a major crush on him in highschool but when tord left to go to the city, he shattered poor Tom's heart. After that, love became hate and now tord was the cause of his bad drinking problem. He now despised tord and hated him for everything he did. Tom snapped out of his little trance and grabbed the bottle of smirnoff before leaving his grungy apartment. He shuffled over to edd's apartment, the door proped open only a little. He could hear the voices of his friends inside, chatting about whatever and edd's cat, Ringo, could be herd meowing loudly. Tom swore that cat could be a tornado siren. He put his fingers in the crack of the door and swung it open, walking inside the mostly green apartment. His was painted blue witch made it seem smaller that it was. But edd's was nice. The green made it look like they where in a forest and Edd had even strung up a cloth across an empty wall that had huge oak and pine trees on it. The ginger and brunette themselves where sitting on the sofa, probably chatting about the movie with tubs of popcorn and sweets by there feet. Ringo was happily playing with a stay peace of popcorn that had landed by edd's shoe. Tom stumbled over and slouched down on his usual spot on the couch, taking another swig from the bottle in his hand. Edd looked up at the new comer and smiled.
"Alright! Tom's here! Now we can start the movie!" He grabbed the remote and turned on the movie.

It was late now and Edd and Matt had fallen asleep on each other. Tom had taken the time to rap them in a blanket since it was getting cold. He did care about them you know. He only acted like didn't care. But now Tom was desperately regretting the sweets he had eaten. His stomach churned and he tried the get himself comfortable. He considered going to the bathroom to try and sooth his gut but didn't feel like he wanted to get up. Edd's shifted and mumbled something about cola in his blissful sleep. Matt wraped his arms around Edd like he was one of his body pillows that had himself printed on it. Tom took out his phone. He snapped a picture of the two cuddling. Bingo. Black mail for later. He giggled, thinking of the looks on there faces if he showed them the photo. Tom knew that they had a crush on each other. And would use it against them if he had to. He began to imagine if tord where here, would he cuddle him? Would he give him cute kisses and loving words? Tom shook his head, "no! Bad tom!" He mumbled to himself as he yanked his mind from the past. He didn't love tord. Or did he? He contiplated this thought as he massaged his stomach, trying to calm the aching spot. Suddenly a knock on the door jarred him out of his thoughts. It woke Edd and Matt the second time they banged on the wooden door. Edd unwraped himself from the blankets and shuffled over to the entrance. The knocking continued and Edd yelled at the person on the other side of the entry way, "quit it, im coming!"
He unlocked the brass knob and swung open the door. By now Tom had come to stand behind the green clad male. In the entryway was the last person that Tom ever wanted to see. His skin so pale he could be considered a ghost and his red hoddie tatered. His horn hair soaked from the rain witch had just started outside. His voice was croaky and gaspy and he said the few words he could, "hello old friends."
