Chapter Twelve
Tord sat down on the couch, waiting for something to happen. He had followed Pauls instructions and somehow managed to put his arm back in its place. After that he tried to calm down, but he kept on worrying about Matt.
He just fainted. Matt never faints. Maybe it shocked him that Tord had his entire arm cut off that he just fainted. That may be it. Tord sighed. The pain was slowly coming back. This didn't surprise Tord in the little bit. He should've grabbed the pills like he thought.
Tord eye lit up. Maybe Edd left his door unlocked. He seems like the type to do that and if he did leave his door locked Tord can always go through the cat door again. Tord got up from the couch and walked out of the door.
He stopped in front of the door with the label ' Edd ' on it. Tord tried turning the knob. The door opened with ease. Tord smirked. He walked inside and quickly located his,no, Tom's prescription.
Tord quickly popped the lid off and got a pill. He turned on the faucet and grabbed a glass. He put it under the water then turned it off. He put the pill in his mouth and took a gulp of his water. After it was done, Tord grabbed the prescription and walked out of apartment, closing the door as he did so.
Tord looked at the bottle then back up. That's when he saw Edd and Tom coming down the hallway. They looked kinda bashed up. Tom's spiky hair was a mess, Edd had a cut on his face, and both of their hoodies were battered up having cuts in certain spots.
Worry for Edd began to swell in Tord. He rushed over to the duo calmly as to not startle them."What happened to you two?" he asked. Tom looked the other way."Well, we got kidnapped by some pirates and had to help them find some treasure before sunset or else we die." Edd explained.
Tord eye lit up."That must've been...Fun." he said slowly, trying to think of the right words to use. "It really wasn't." Edd responded. "Oh." "Hey what are you doing with my prescription?" Tom asked. Tord looked down at the bottle."I was just-" "Whatever, just hand it over." Tom said as he put his hand out.
Tord glared at Tom. He put the bottle in Tom's hand. Tom huffed. Rage exploded inside of Tord. He's been trying his best to get on everyone's good side but Tom has been giving him a bad attitude.
He stepped closer to Tom till he was inches away from his face."You better start treating me better Tom." Tord growled in his face. Tom's face harded with anger."Or what?" Tom growled back. Before Tord could reply, Edd got in-between the two, making them back away from each other.
"Guys, calm down." Edd said. Tord growled and looked the other way. "He started it." Tom said. Tord glared back at Tom who had a finger pointing at him. "I don't care who started it I am ending it!" Edd yelled. Tord looked at him, then looked the other way.
He was ashamed. He started this fight and all it will do is make it harder for him to fit back in. "Tord, lets go." Edd said. Tord sighed. He followed Edd back to his apartment. Upon entering the room, Tord had instant regret for what he did.
He walked over to the couch and sat down. He put his face in the palms of his hands. He really shouldn't have done that. But he couldn't help it. Tom has been nothing but rude to him ever since he came back. Tord guessed that he just let all his anger out on Tom right there.
He sighed. Edd sat next to Tord. Tord sighed. He let Edd just watch his anger the better of him. He shouldn't see that part of him, but somehow Tord has the feeling that he's already seen this part of him before.
He sat in silence, thinking if he should go and apologize to Tom. He wondered if Tom would actually listen to him. Well, it was worth a try. Tord got up from the couch. Edd looked at him."Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm going over to Tom's place." Tord responded. Edd's eyes widened."I don't think that's a good idea Tord." Tord shrugged."Maybe it isn't, but I need to apologize for my mistakes." Edd said nothing for a while, then smiled.
"Alight." Edd said. Tord smiled. Edd is the greatest friend he could ever have, even if he's only doing this because he feels sorry for him. Tord opened the door and walked out. He quickly found Tom's apartment.
Before Tord would knock on the door, he hesitated. Second thoughts came into his mind. Why should he apologize to him? He's the one who should apologize to him! Anger seeped into Tord. He turned around and stomped away from the door. He went back to Edd's apartment and slammed the door shut.
Edd gave him a startled look."What happened?" he asked. Tord glared at him."Why should I apologize to him, huh!? He's the bad guy, not me!" Tord yelled his thoughts at him. Edd flinched at the tone of his voice. Tord saw this. Regrets started to feel his mind, but he didn't care.
He groaned. All these emotions are so confusing. Anger, regret, the feeling to punch someone. He just needed to sleep these emotions away. Tord stormed over to the couch. He laid down and closed his eyes.
Tord felt the peering eyes of Edd on him. He shot his head up from the couch and glared at him."What!?" he yelled at him. Edd gave him a surprised look."You didn't apologize..." Edd said. Tord glared at him harder. "I shouldn't apologize to that rude eyeless freak!" he responded, laying his head back down.
He heard Edd sigh. Tord heard a cat meow and guessed Ringo came back to the apartment. "I guess his hatred for Tom has never changed, huh Ringo?" Edd said to what Tord guessed to be the cat. He growled to himself. He blocked off all the noise around him and drifted to sleep.
In his dreams, Tord was in a place he didn't recognize. It was filled with strange objects he didn't recognize too. He was going to a giant red button in the middle of them room."At last, we will be complete again." he heard himself say.
His hand hovered over the button. He began to laugh, which then turned into maniacal laughter. It was cut off by Edd's voice saying his name. Tord said he was doing laundry, putting a dirty sock on a racket labeled 'Totally not a gun racket'.
Next thing that Tord knew, Edd was pressing random buttons. Matt came in and was pressing buttons too. Tord could feel the anxiety and anger in his dream. He was rubbing his face with his hands, trying to calm himself down. "Oooh, this is a big button!" Tord heard Matt say.
Tord looked up to see Matts hand inches away from the big red button. Before he could press it, Tord grabbed his hand. He glared at Matt with hatred."No!" he yelled at him as he punched Matt in the face.
Tord then woke up with a start. He had a feeling that the dream was actually a memory. And if that was actually a memory, is that why Matt was acting weird? Because he is afraid Tord is going to punch him in the face again?
Tord looked down at his hands. If that was a memory, does that mean he will slowly start to get his memories back finally? Fear rose up in Tord. He was afraid of what he will find out about himself. Did he really want to remember all the things he done? To be truthful, Tord really didn't want to find out who he was when he left Edd and the rest.
He just wanted to stay this way, forever. Happy with his friends by his side. Tord laid back down, trying to convince himself that he will stay this way forever, but the voice inside himself told him otherwise.
