THE KIDNAP

Chapter 2

Tord's POV

Since I had gotten back, Tom has been quite mad at me and whenever I try to talk to him he is either drunk or just not willing to have a conversation with me. I know that I up and left but I never thought Tom would go there. I didn't think that he would assume that I hadn't really cared about him. But then again, this is Tom we are talking about and I've always had a feeling that he never really believes that anyone truly likes him.

"I guess the guys really haven't gone grocery shopping" Tom said pulling out a single cola before thinking twice and returning the sole item back into the empty fridge. I watched him as he let the fridge door swing back and shut.

"I mean, I guess we could go out?" I suggested. He turned to me and my heart skipped a beat. I had forgotten how he made me feel. He leaned against the doorframe casually, but despite what I think was his attempts to hide it with wearing a sweater, he still had a fairly feminine figure. And while some people found his eyes odd or even scary, I always found them unique and full of emotion, far more than anyone else's, anyways.

"What kind of going out were you thinking, commie?"

"Well, we need food anyway, we could head down to the park. Do they still have the farmers market on the corner of Beverly?"

"Shit if I know." he said before moving off the doorframe and walking down the hallway and towards the living room. Wait, what just happened, has he really giving up that easy on going out? I thought to myself, before I heard him yell from the other room.

"We're gonna have to make the most of Edd's last check, he's kinda the only money maker in the house right now" I heard him shuffle through some papers in the other room. That's pathetic. They're all flat broke. It's gonna be really suspicious if I am suddenly able to pay for everything without a job and the last thing I want is them in this mess with me. I could trust Tom though.

I walked in the room and he was still going through the stack of papers on the coffee table, obviously looking for the money. Yeah, definitely not, I gotta help, they're gonna end up loosing the house like this. I walked in front of the coffee table and held him arm, making him stop.

"Don't worry, I can pay for it" I looked at him for a minute and he obviously wanted to say something.

"And should I wait until later to ask why?" he said slowly.

"Yes, definitely" I said, before he stood upright and shoved his hands into his pockets. We stood there for a minute and my mind raced in the hopes that Tom wouldn't think too much into it. But I know he will, he always does.

During the car ride Tom told me about the adventures and scandals I had missed when I was away. I wish I could've been there, but it was nice and I was glad that he wasn't alone while I was gone.

The farmers market was well out of Crypt territory, and there aren't a lot of Blood members roaming this early, so I figured it was perfectly safe. The Crypt had a big problem with me and with their connections to some mobsters from Triad, I was in some deep shit if they got ahold of me. But the one I really have to worry about would be the DR. Dead Rabbits. They hold most of all territory on the North and West side of town and I had to pay them out for someone who hired a hit on me. As long as I can stay away from the Mafia, I should be able to handle myself if I get into trouble with the gangs.

But even though my logic tells me I'm alright, I'm with Tom and I can't let him get seen with me, it's almost an instant kill button for him. I tried to relax and follow Tom around, but I just couldn't stop scanning the peaceful crowd for dangerous faces.

Tom snapped in front of my face and jolted back to reality.

"Hey, you doing ok there, commie?" His black eyes squinted at me. I opened my mouth to say something but didn't particularly know the truth.

"We got much more to buy?" I asked, ignoring his question.

"No, that was the last of it." he said slowly, still looking up at me. "I actually told you, several times on the way over." Did he? Fuck me, that's not good at all, I really need to snap out of it. I'm safe, anyway, right? He watched me waiting for another answer. Everything in me felt spoiled and I just needed it to not be only me for once.

"Yeah, I know, sorry. I'll tell you, lets just get home." I said already headed to the car. The car ride was very quiet and I just couldn't stop feeling like everything around me had spoiled. It was miserable and I just wanted to be home so I could finally explain everything. I had always thought that not telling him was the best way to protect him, but now that I couldn't leave him again, it was by far the stupidest move.

We pulled up to the house walked into the empty house. Edd and Matt were still out. I dragged him to the living room and though he reluctantly followed me, I got him to sit on the carpet with me.

"Yeah ok..." I started. I could trust him.
