Tord's pov

I picked up my phone from my night stand and unlocked my phone to see a new message. From: Tomo🍍

Tom: Hey, anyone up
Tord: Yea I'm up
Edd: Yessir
Matt: Yep. Eating breakfast rn
Edd: Oooo whacha eatin?
Matt: Scrambled eggs with toast
Tord: Great now I'm hungry -^-
Tom: Then go eat something, stupid
Tord: Can't.
Edd: Why not?

I started to sweat trying to think quickly of an excuse.

Tord: Dad's getting paranoid about this whole virus. Won't let me eat until it's the proper time to eat brrakfast, lunch, or dinner
Tom: Must suck to suck commie
Edd: Oh nu! I'm so sorry Tord! :(

Matt: Tird
Matt: Turd
Matt: Toad
Tord: ...
Edd: XD
Tom: Matt come on we've been over this, it's not that hard
Matt: My keyboard must have something against me >:(

I giggled and put my phone down. Gosh I miss them.

Truth is, my dad and I don't have anymore food. We actually ran out a couple weeks ago and have been starving. Some hobo broke in during the night and stole every bit of food including the cans. Can't go out because of police and patrols outside. They force anyone they see to go back inside their house no matter what. It's too dangerous for us to go outside.

There's this virus happening that's infected almost everyone in my town. It's called 'Corona virus' and the whole country is on lock down right now. They told us that next month they're gonna let people out only once to restock on food. But, since the workers are going to also be shopping and can't work, it's gonna be free. Just take anything from the store and you're free to go.

They trap us inside to get away from the virus when I'm stuck inside with a person that has it. My dad has all symptoms of the virus but I never said anything. I've been taking care of him the best that I can. Washing my hands with soap for like 5 minutes after I take care of him. I can't risk getting it. Not when my dad needs me the most.

Speaking of him, I heard coughing and choking. I speed run to the desk in front of my dad's room and put on the mask and gloves that were placed there for everytime I want to go inside. After putting it all on I run inside to see my dad coughing like crazy. I rush to his side and bent down resting mt bottom on the heels of my feet with my knees on the ground. "Dad! Are you ok?!" I asked panicked. "I... I'm fine, son.. Do not worry..." He said inbetween breaths. I just gave him a worry look. I wish my papa was here...

Why does your papa have work when everyone is currently in lockdown? Well, he's a doctor. He has to sleep there so he's not home a lot. Or at all actually. His name is Patryck or Pat and my dad that is here with me right now is named Paul or Pau. I really don't want him to die...

Suddenly I hear loud banging coming from the front door. I quickly got up and took off the mask and gloves. Before I could even get out of the room I hear the front door open. Then rushing feet and my dad's door slam open and I see a bunch of medical doctors with suits on that covers every inch of their body. I stood in shock as the brought a bed and placed my dad on it. I tried to get them to stop by pulling on their arms. "STOP! What're you doing?! Let him go!" I shouted. I don't want them to take my dad away! Who knows what they do to them! Do they kill them off or what! Visitors aren't allowed at the hospital so what do I do?! When they take him away to the front door I rush to follow them. When they're outside one grabs both of my shoulders and pushes me inside. "Stop! Stop! Hey, everything is going to be alright!" The person tried calming me down.
