tom's pov

'i'm sorry'

the text was right in front of me. my fingers still as i held the phone. my face shocked as i read it all over again.

'let's meet up, okay?'

edd apologized, but i was the one who was supposed to. after snapping at matt, i couldn't sleep properly. knowing that someone dislikes me.

but i guess i can finally sleep like a log.

the smooth liquid runs down my throat. i close my eyes in delight as i finish my daily intake of smirnoff.

i must have taken my dad gene's of being an alcoholic. at least i don't abuse people and go fuck other women.

'sure, i'm up to going out in a while' i type back. a small smile gracing my face as i finally regained my friendship.

i get up and grabbed a clean, blue towel. my feet headed towards the shower.

:::

i saw edd and matt talking to each other. thank god i didn't get lost. edd had to tell me where to go.

matt saw me and told edd. they awkwardly smiled at me and waved.

"hi tom." edd sheepishly greeted, his hand rubbing the back of his neck.

matt just grinned at me, he always said that was his 'formal' way of saying hi. i just smiled back.

"i'm starving! can we order now?" matt asked, grasping the menu.

edd chuckled, "yep, we can."

i hummed in content as i scanned the menu, i don't really know what to eat. i haven't eaten breakfast yet so i was pretty hungry.

"just a reminder, we're having breakfast, tom." edd told me, "i can hear your stomach rumbling."

"oh." i embarrassingly said, "i guess crepe cake sound nice."

matt looked at me with slight disgust. "sugar in the morning? no sir, you're taking something else."

"i'll just have it as dessert then."

"also, i'll have fish and chips." matt said, "i don't have much of an appetite today."

"okay, the food here is pretty swell though."

:::

we decided to go to the mall after eating. my stomach was quite full so i had a delightful morning. these days, i don't really eat much.

"i need new earphones, my old ones broke yesterday." edd told us. "you can go with me tom, i'm sure matt has something else to buy."

"uh, i need a new charger..." matt said.

"i thought you told me you were gonna buy 'more and more clothes'?" asked edd.

"my charger broke today."

"uh" i said, breaking off the conversation. "i was actually gonna buy new strings for susan..."

"susan?" matt asked, curiously. "who's susan?"

edd rolled his eyes jokingly. "he named his bass susan, remember?"

"ooohhh! okay!"

"tom," edd called my attention. "let's meet up in the department store."

i just shrugged and they started walking to the electronics department.

i arrived at the store. i hummed silently as i drank in the sights of the many instruments that there was.

"excuse me?" i said to the person at the counter.

"hm?" the person said, his cap showing me that he indeed works here. his nametag showing a name, 'paul'.

"do you have any strings for bass guitars?"

"we do! follow me, sorry, they're in the back of the store."

i just shrugged and followed him. many assortments of spare parts for several instruments were placed in glass boxes, for some reason.

"sooo... where's the bass-"

"alright, get him."

my vision turned to black, my face was covered with a cloth as i was dragged towards somewhere.

i tried to resist but there was more than 2 people dragging me.

"faen! his shoe grazed my foot!"

"language!"

the cloth was scrunched up so that only my nose and my mouth was shown. a cloth was pressed up against my nose.

i tried not to breathe, but fate held up a middle finger and i succumbed to the darkness.
