In Our Nightmares | TordTom

Chapter 10

Hhhhhhhh I'm sorry for not posting yesterday again. I'll post two chapters for y'all to repay once again!

My reason to why Tord hates the song 'Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows'. Honestly this would most likely be the backstory to many other stories if Tord's parents are Pat and Paul. So this can be very useful when you read any other books of mine-

Tom's POV (Short)

We were back to standing in the void with Tord still unable to see us. He just sat there staring at the floor. He looked empty, it honestly hurt to see him like this. I wanted to go up to him but I can't. We're stuck here. It's like we're trapped in a box. But all around it has a one way glass that we cannot break

Tord's POV

I had been sitting here for who knows how long. I would've counted but I would eventually just stop. What's the point anyways? I'm trapped here. My body tensed up when music started to play

"Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows"

That voice...

"Everything that's wonderful"

I remember that sweet voice...

"Is what I feel when we're together"

My mother..

I look up and around to see both my parents sitting on there bed with me on my mothers lap. Around then Sypher had stopped abusing me and stopped drinking. My mother found out about his drinking habits and made him stop, but never about the abuse he had done

He had stopped that on his own. She always wondered why I seemed to be so scared of him. He was sorry. But my young self was terrified. Thinking he would go and hurt me again behind my mom's back. Like he always did. I stood up and stood in front of them

My mother's voice was beautiful when she sang. She and my father loved music. My mother would usually sing and he would play an instrument. And he is playing a guitar as the background music

"Brighter than a lucky penny"

They had sang that song to me many times. So what they had decided to do was record their song on a tape recorder. They played it every night to help me sleep

"When you're near the rain clouds disappears"

I was so happy when they played it. I would play the recorder like every day. I was around nine that age- my birthday was actually in a few days -but I didn't care, I loved the song

"Dear"

I felt my eyes swell up with tears. Making my vision slightly blurry

"And I feel so fine"

I remember this night. I've always wanted to forget it but I couldn't. Every time I heard the song I remember this terrible moment

"Just to know that you are mine"

A crash was heard from downstairs making Malissa and Sypher look towards the bedroom door. Sypher stood up and went to the door, he went out into the hallway before hurrying back into the room quietly, beginning to move things in front of the door

"My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows"

Malissa had gotten up as well, she quickly went to the opposite side of the bed from the door of the room. She sat me down on the bed before getting on the ground
