Tom POV

It's been a week since Tord came back and ruined our lives. I was so happy that he was finally gone. It meant that Edd and Matt were safe.

Good Riddance

I was sitting on the couch, drinking my smirnoff, watching TV, when I heard someone knock on my door.

"Tom, we are going to the store for some cola-"

"Don't forget my mirrors, Edd!"

I heard Edd sigh And then say, "...And mirrors for Matt, wanna come along?"

I groaned. I immediately knew it was my friends, mostly because of Matt. I didn't really feel like going, but I needed to restock on my smirnoff soon. I turned off the TV and walked up to my door, opening it.

"Yeah sure."

We were on our way to the store when someone bumped into me. I heard a thump of someone falling.

"Ugh, watch where you're going," I grumbled, rubbing my head.

"S-sorry..."

That voice sounds so familiar.

I look down to see familiar hair horns, but a black jacket. They looked up and I finally realized who it was. Tord.

Why is he still alive!?

I was about to yell at him, but Edd was the first to speak up.

"Tord!? Is that you?"

"Huh, how do you know who I...... am"

Tord POV

My eyes had finally adjusted to the sunlight, since looking up made it super bright, and I couldn't believe that it was them. My old friends. I started to panic once I saw Tom's angry face.

Oh no. Not here.

I put my hand on my chest and tried to even out my breathing. I felt the blood rising in my throat making me cough up a bit. I held my hand to my mouth so they wouldn't see.

"Tord, are you ok?"

Edd bent down and removed the hand from over my mouth and gasp. I noticed that Matt and Tom also looked shocked.

"H-help me..." I wheezed, coughing up more blood.

That's when I tasted something other than blood in my mouth. It was kinda oily and made it hard to breathe. I coughed it up and noticed it was oil that was probably from the robot arm.

Now I'm coughing up oil!? Great...

I felt my vision start to fade as I felt myself getting weaker. Tears pricked to my eyes. Edd was trying to keep me awake and Matt was panicking, probably confused to what was going on. Tom, well he just stared at me not knowing what to do. I couldn't tell if he was just in shock or was concerned. Edd was saying something to me, but I couldn't make out what it was.

"Tord pl...e stay a..ke ..r us. Pl...e! Don't w..ry, we'll t..e you ho.. and br..g you b.ck to h..lth.

"Heh... nice to see you.... old... friends..... I'm sorry," I say as everything went black.

A/N:

My Anxiety: I knew it was his old friends! You should listen to me more often.

You were just lucky. For all I know, it could've been someone from his army that he had been friends with.

But wouldn't they call him Red Leader or something?

Oh yeah... They would've done that instead of calling him by his name😅

*shakes her head in disappointment* You gotta be kidding me...😑
