Nowhere To Run... (Tord X Reader)

Secrets Revealed and Singing

You got tired of watching tv, and decided to go to bed. After wishing everyone goodnight, you headed for the stairs. But you were stopped when a huge furball came around and rubbed itself on your calves. You looked down, and screamed. It was an animal you had never seen before. It was new, and slightly scared you. Ok, it REALLY scared you. An unknown animal was right next to you! You didn't know if it was dangerous or not!

The guys quickly came rushing in when they heard you scream, and saw you, your back up against the wall. They saw the animal, and began laughing.

"EDD, WHAT IS THAT!?!?" you shouted.

"Calm down, Y/N, it's just Ringo! My cat!" Edd said, still laughing slightly.

"A what?" You asked. Your parents never let you go outside, let alone teach you animals. So you had never heard of or seen a cat before.

"Are you saying you don't know what a cat is?" Asked Tom. You shook your head yes, you had never heard of it.

"Wow, have you been living under a rock your whole life?" Asked Tord. You glared at him.

"In a basement, actually. I hadn't been able to leave. So I have never heard of a cat." You said. Everyone immediately stopped laughing, and stared at you.

"Y/N, were you... were you..." Matt started, but couldn't find the right words for it.

"Abused?" Tom finished for him.

"Tom!" Edd yelled. "That's very rude! You can't just-"

"Yes, I was." You interrupted. Everyone's head snapped back at you, with baffled expressions. "Can we just drop it?"

Everyone nodded their head, and you looked back at Ringo, the cat. "Is he dangerous?" You asked.

Edd giggled slightly. "No, not at all!" He walked over, and picked him up, holding him out to you. "Here, hold him!"

You hesitated, but eventually reached out for the animal. When you finally held him properly, the cat curled up into you, and fell asleep. You found this adorable. You pet him lightly, and he begins to pur.

Tord then stepped in, and grabbed your arm. You looked back at him, a confused expression on your face.

"Y/N, can I speak with you upstairs, please?" He asked. You nodded, and handed Ringo back to Edd, causing him to wake up. You followed Tord up the stairs, and he lead you to your room. He let go of your arm, and signald for you to sit on the bed.

He sat down with you, then looked into your E/C eyes, you meeting his grey ones. "How?" He asked.

"How what?"

"How were you abused?"

You sat there in silence. Then you sighed. "Emotionally, physically, sexually, you name it. I was isolated from the entire world for years, and only ever escaped once, just to come back caught. I tried again, and that got me here. My parents don't know I'm here, and they certainly didn't know I was escaping that night. My father would rape, beat, and hurt me, every single night. I never once had a peaceful sleep because of the nightmares that would taunt me. They never treated me like a daughter. They treated me like some toy they can do whatever they want to to it. They kept me in a basement, and I never left it. I rarely ate, and I never went to school, let alone know what animals are what. I walk places. I don't even know how to drive a car. The only reason I knew who you were was because of a single tv they gave me. But hey, why would you even care?"

Tord stared at you, shocked. "How did you survive?"

"I wrote music. It's what kept me going. I would hide it from my father, so he wouldn't find it."
