Love hurts { TomTord | Hanahaki }

Chapter 4

( A/N AT THE END )

How was I feeling?
I don't even know how to answer that at this point.
Why does love have to hurt so bad....

——

So far a week has passed.
A week since I was discharged from the hospital.
A week since it seemed like Tom actually cared.

I didn't know how to feel at this point.
He has been avoiding me this whole time.

Admit it.
He hates you.

You know he does.

" Shut up.. "

Why bother trying to over see the truth?
Don't be insolent, Tord.

You know he hates you.

" Shut up...please.. "

Why should I?

Just face it.
You know it.

He'll never love someone like you.

You're better off dead.

You know it.

" Shut up.... "

I felt warm liquid running down my face.
Was I crying?
Or was it raining?
No. Rain is usually cold.

" Tord! "

I felt my body shoot up.

" Tord, are you ok? "

Edd..?

" I've called your name at least 6 times to let you know breakfast was ready. "

I was asleep?
Oh.
Now I remember.

I swear I had a dream.
What was it about?

" Tord. Why are you crying..? "

I felt my face.
Huh.
So I was being pathetic.

" Tord, answer me. "
" Are you ok? "

" Huh..? Oh! Yes..I'm fine, Edd.. "
" Just a nightmare..yeah. "

He gave me a look of sympathy.
Does he pity me?

" Ok..tell me about it after breakfast and I'll see what I can do.. "

" Oh..I uhm. I don't remember what it was about..sorry, Edd. "

" Okay...well. Do you want bacon? I made extra this morning since it was an irregular number left in the bag. "

I gave a small smile to try and ease him into thinking I was over my nightmare.

" Sure. "
