—————————————————

I was cold..
So very cold.
I don't remember what happened or where I was or why I was here.
But I couldn't see anything.

There was a beeping sound.
I opened my eyes and was instantly blinded by the bright, white lights.
Once my eyes adjusted I looked to my right and saw a heart monitor along with Tom sitting in the chair, asleep.

I looked everywhere to try and find a clock and when I finally found one, it was 4:38 in the morning.
How long had I been out?
What even happened?

I started to feel sick once I remembered Tom was here.
Oh yeah. That's right. I'm here because of this stupid sickness or whatever it is.

I stumbled to the bathroom but my legs wobbled to much and I fell to the ground.
My vision was going black from standing up to fast and my rib cage hurt.

I tried to hold it all in but broke.
I started to cough violently, waking Tom up.

" Ugh..what the hell?..Tord?! Are you okay?! " Tom asks frantically.

I push him away, unable to speak.
I do however manage to sputter out one word.

" B-Bathro..om.."
I said in my raspy voice.

Looks like the Jehovah understood.
Good.
I felt him pick me up and set me in front of the toilet.
After that I motioned him to get out an close the door.
He did as told but didn't seem to happy about it.

Once I was over the toilet I felt myself puking up blood and all that acid down in my stomach.
Flowers here and there along with what I ate..how long ago now?
I'll ask Tom once I'm finished.

Blue pedals and some buds were in the toilet once I finished.

I flushed the toilet and stumbled up with all the strength that I could muster up.

I turned on the sink and started to clean my mouth out.
Swishing around the water getting the awful two tastes out of my mouth.
I kept the water running as I spit out all the gunk.

" Disgusting... "
I whispered to myself.

I cupped some water and drank it.
The water helped, but not a lot.
I began to also clean my face because why not.

Once I was fully done I stumbled out fo the small bathroom and tried my best to get back to the bed.

" How long was..I out? "

" About a day. You really had Edd and Matt worried. What the hell is even going on with you Commie? " he replied with a snappy tone.

Ah...there's the Tom I remember.

" It's...nothing. You shouldn't worry. "

I guess I made him even more angry because next thing I know he is yelling.

" Shouldn't worry?! Tord, do you even hear yourself?! You were out for a whole day and you tell me to not worry?! Tord, you almost died!
If you would stop being so selfish and just let people help you maybe you wouldn't be in this situation to begin with! You ungrateful piece of— "

Tom was cut off by Edd and Matt walking in.
Thank the stars.

" Tord! "
" Todd! "

I was embraced in a hug by the two.

" We are so happy you are alive, Todd! "

" It's Tord.. "

" That's what I said, Todd! "

" Forget it. " I mumbled.

I was happy that they came.

I heard Edd giving a lecture to Tom about how he should stop being so rude.
Tom just groaned and then left.

" What's got Tim in such a bad mood? "
Matt asked.

" It's nothing, Matt. Anyway, how are you feeling Tord? "

How was I feeling?
I wasn't sure at this point.

Why does love have to hurt so bad?
