Chapter 14

This chapter gives me the feels a bit, well around the end. I don't know why-

3rd Person's POV

As Tom walked into the park. He was quiet and was looking around the empty park. Well it was raining so why would anyone be out in the park? But Tom was there. Because Edd had made him go look for the Norski, to which he didn't agree on doing. Tom looked around as he walked. He kicked a small rock as he walked by one

His footsteps were drowned out by the rain padding against the cement. It was dark out and he could barely see due to all the rain. Tom huffed and shoved his hands into his hoodie pocket. He let out a breath as he could feel the water start to sink in and the slight wind made him cold. He just wanted to go home, but he was stuck looking for the Communist

The scene went back to Tord. Who still sat on the bench

Tord still had his arms around himself and continued to stare at the ground. The tears were pouring out none stop, a small quiet sob was heard from the male every so often. He was shaking and coughing, he even sneezed a few times here and there

The weather was making him sick. He knew he'd regret staying out in the rain later. But he didn't want to leave yet. He was probably going to get a good lecture from Edd saying that he shouldn't have done that. And it's his fault if he get sick because he sat in the rain for so long

The tears weren't noticeable due to the rain. But you can tell due to his red and puffy eyes. Tord looked so cold as he sat there shivering. He was rubbing his arms for warmth. His hood was soaked and barely did anything to stop the water anymore. His hair clung to his head and face

He was to busy crying and shaking cold, that he didn't see Tom walking closer. As Tom was walking in the park he saw a male sitting on a bench, which he thought was strange because, like I said earlier, why would anyone go to the park in this weather?

Tom was just planning on walking by but as he got closer to the person, he noticed they were shaking. It took him a few seconds to realize, that it was, in fact, Tord. So he approached him

"Commie?" Tom spoke making Tord's head snap up to look at him

"T-Thomas?" The Norski stuttered "W-what are you doing h-here?" He asked

"Edd's looking for you, and I had to be apart of it" Tom huffed "Now get up so we can go back home"

Tord was quiet for a few seconds "Why..?" Tord asked

"Why? Tord we are going to get sick if we stay out here. And look at you" Tom said finally looking over Tord's condition "You're soaked and shaking" Tom said

"I'm fine" Tord said before coughing

"No you're not" Tom sighed and sat down next to Tord, not caring that his pants were getting wet "What's wrong?" He asked

"Why do you care..?" Tord responded quietly

Tom sighed "Look I know that we fight a lot and don't get along. But that doesn't mean that I don't give a shit about you" Tom said looking at said Norski "So what's wrong?" Tom asked

"They say keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"

Tord gulped and looked down "T-things.." Tord muttered

"What sort of things?" Tom asked

Tord pulled his legs onto the bench hugging his knees "I'm a demon..." Tord muttered

"Is that what all this fus is about?" Tom asked "Tord listen, you shouldn't care about what others think. It's your decisions and your choices. Not theirs. You choose how your life goes, you don't let others choose for you" Tom said "You're not a demon Tord. You always care for your friends, and you try to be there for them. Do you remember when I had braces in highschool? We weren't so close but you always made me feel better when you said they were nice and complimented me on them" Tom said "You made me feel comfortable with them"

Tord glance at Tom "Really..?"

"Yea" Tom said "And I'm not the only one you've helped, and helped feel better about themselves Tord. There's Edd and Matt you helped" Tom said

Tord rubbed his eyes and let go of his legs "Did I really help you guys as much as I did..?" Tord asked

"Of course you did Tord! You were always there for us. And so we're there for you" Tom said "You helped Edd feel better about his eyes back in highschool, he was insecure about them so that's why he hid them with his hair" Tom said

Tord looked at Tom the ground "Well he does have nice eyes.. I didn't really know why he didn't like them.." Tord said "Mine are worse.." He muttered quietly

Tom placed his hand on Tord's shoulder gently "Stop saying that. Your eyes are really pretty Tord" Tom said

"Mh.." Tord hummed not believing Tom "And so what did I help Matt with..?" Tord asked wanting to change the subject

"Well you made him feel better, he was really smart in highschool, but he always got made fun of because of it. People calling him a nerd and stuff. You were there to make him feel better" Tom said "He ignored what people said about him that was mean, because you told him too" Tom said "And the people eventually stopped bothering him"

Tord hummed, he knows why the people started leaving Matt alone. Because he beat up the ones who were calling him names. Tord looked up as Tom stood up and went in front of him, holding his hand out to Tord

"Let's head on home" Tom said softly

Tord looked at Tom's hand and took it, pulling himself up "Let's head home"

Tord looked down at his hand and smiled softly "Let's head on home" He said quietly to himself as the scene faded to black before him
