Tom
We went over and joined Edd on the couch. He had a bowl of popcorn and drinks on the table.
"Sorry about that, we couldn't stop the bleeding so that set us back."
He gave us a doubtful look before reaching to grab a cola.
"Okay... Anyway we're having an Insane Zombie Pirates From Hell marathon."
"Fuck yea!" Tord grabbed the bowl of popcorn and sat back into the couch.
"Matt! Are you gonna grace us with your presence or are you gonna stay up there checking your ass out all night?" I called up to him.
A minute later he rushed downstairs with an armful of candy.
We all turned to him with surprised looks.
"What? I saved it for a special occasion."
Ignoring the sound of Matt's loud candy wrappers being opened, we started the marathon.
Tom and I grabbed handfuls of popcorn as the cheesy movie opener began.
"Watch this." Tord whispered to me.
Matt was too engulfed in the movie to notice his surroundings. Tord threw a popcorn kernel at him, bouncing off his forehead.
He screamed, making Edd jump and fall off the couch.
"WHAT THE HELL, MATT?!" He yelled, making me snort.
How the hell could Tord keep his composture so still and serious?
"I think he got jumpscared." I suggested, trying to cover up for Tord.
"No! Something hit my beautiful face!" He complained.
Edd sighed and looked at us. "Whoever is doing it stop or I swear to god I will make Ringo shit in your beds."
I let out a quiet snort as he turned back around to continue the movie.
Some time later I elbowed Tord, getting his attention. I pulled Edd's car keys out of my pocket, careful as to not make any noise.
His eyes widened and a grin spread across his face.
"Do it!" He mouthed to me.
"I will when the scary part comes on." I snickered.
And so we waited, partners in crime.
The intense jumpscare finally came on as I stealthily slid my hand in my pocket, grabbing the remote, my thumb hovering over the panic button.
Tord's watched this movie so many times that he knows exactly when the jumpscare will happen, so he gives me a signal, elbowing me, and I press the button.
Soon enough, the zombie pirate jumps out at the screen, simultaneously with the car alarm.
Matt flinches and drops his bag of Skittles he was munching on.
Meanwhile, Edd jumps and throws the remote, landing in his small ever-growing pile of empty cola cans on the coffee table.
He stands up, muttering angrily about the 'god damn motherfucking neighborhood cats climbing on his car'. He stormed off to the front door and down to the driveway where he proceeded to yell, "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T FUCKING HAVE NICE FUCKING THINGS!!!"
He then came back inside looking for his car keys to which I replied, "Are they not in the car?"
He looked back at me, panicking as he responded with, "I don't fucking know!"
He ran back outside to see if somebody left the keys in the car, meanwhile I quickly ran over to the kitchen and placed the keys on the counter.
I ran back and jumped on Tord's lap just as I heard the door open, followed by a groan and the shaking of car keys.
The alarm finally shut off, leaving the neighborhood in silence.
Tord jumped up with me in his arms and carried me to the bathroom, locking it.
He started laughing so hard, I swear I saw his face turning beet red.
"Oh my god his reaction!" He wheezed. There were tears pouring down his face as he tried and failed miserably to collect himself.
"I didn't know you were such a prankster!" He said, while wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissed my cheek. I leaned my head back into him, laughing myself.
Then Tord went silent. I could feel him tensing up.
"What's wrong?" I asked, turning to cup his cheek.
He let go of me and opened the door, as if in a hurry.
"Hold my hand and don't let go."
"O-okay..."
He ran to the living room where Edd and Matt were cleaning up.
"Guys you need to come with me right now!"
"What's the big deal, Tord? Is is another one of your pranks again?" Edd asked sarcastically.
"Just come on! I dont have much time left!"
He grabbed Edd by his hoodie and called Matt, who followed immediately.
He led us to the attic entrance, opening it.
"Get in here now. You'll be safer."
"Why are we going into the attic?" I asked while climbing the ladder after Matt and Edd.
He gave me a serious and anxious look.
"They're here."
