Way too far (TomTord)

16. Feelings

Hello, guys! I am so sorry it takes me so long to write another chapter.. I just can't get myself to do it. I don't have any excuses. I just couldn't. And I'm sorry.

Tord's POV:

I grabbed my pencils and a paper, listening to Tom talk about his future job. I'd say a tattoo artist must be a really cool job. "And when I get enough money, I'll come visit you!" I smiled, feeling my face heat up when he said that.

"How long will that take, though? I already can't wait to see you.." I said the last part quieter, thinking I might sound weird. I pulled my wheelchair closer to the edge of my bed and placed my phone down. Tom was on speaker so I could still hear what he was saying.

"I don't know, but it's gonna take a while. A few months surely." I pulled myself on my wheelchair with a grunt. Tom went silent. I adjusted myself comfortably and then grabbed the phone again. "Is something wrong, Tom?" "Are you okay?"

I smiled sadly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sat down on my wheelchair, it's not really that comfortable. But I managed." Tom sighed. "I wish you could be able to walk.." I looked down. "Yeah... Same."

"When I get over there, I will do my best to help you!" I could hear the determination in his voice as he said that. I grabbed the paper along with my pencils and moved myself to my desk, placing down the art supplies. I started drawing. Why? I wish I knew. But I was in the mood so why not, right?

"Actually, I might as well already move there." I heard Tom say. "Wait what?" "Yeah! That'd be nice! We could hang out together all day!" I couldn't see Tom, but I knew he was smiling like a little child.

I clutched my pencil tightly. "Really?" "Yes! If I lived there with you, I could help you with walking too! Damn, now I'm even more excited!! I need to get over there." My heart sped up, I could hear it beating loudly.

I guess I spaced out, because I snapped out of it when Tom called my name a few times. "H-huh?" I stuttered. "You good? Spaced out there for a while, bud." I gulped. "Yes, I'm fine. Everything's okay.." He didn't believe me. Of course he didn't.

"Tord, something's clearly going on." "No, it's really okay. I just thought about it. I'd really want you to visit.. At least for a while." I felt my eyes water. "...Tord.?" I let go of my pencil and cried quietly. 'God, I'm such a baby. How many times did I cry in front of Tom.?' I thought to myself.

"Tordie.. Calm down, please. It's okay, I'm here for ya." I wiped away my tears. "...I wish you were here... With me.." I mumbled. "I wish you were here..."

Tom's POV:

I frowned. "I promise you I'll come visit you. Asap, okay?" "...Can you stay.?" I knew I was blushing before, but my face was a cherry, at this point. I got up and after a few hours, left my room, holding the phone close to me.

"...Please..." "I'll stay there. I swear to Jehovah that I won't leave you. Ever again. so just calm down, Tordle, okay?" Tord slowly started gaining his breath back. I heard him whisper a quiet 'thank you' and I smiled.

I went into the kitchen where I saw Edd and Matt playing some kind of game. I waved at them. Edd got up from his seat and gave me a quick hug. But then he grabbed my phone and pressed it against his ear. "Edd, give me back my ph-" "Hiiii, Toooord!"

Matt chuckled while I just stared at Edd with an 'are you serious' expression. I heard Tord chuckle from the other side, Edd put him on speaker so everyone could hear him. "Hi, Edd." I groaned. "Sorry 'bout that, Tord." "It's alright, don't worry about it."

Matt stood up. "I'm here too, Todd!" "It's Tord. And hello, Matt!" Edd smirked at me. "You two have been calling for hours! Are you two together or something?~" He said in a mocking tone. I knew he was just teasing us, but I still couldn't stop the blush.

"Edd, give me back that pho-" "Nu-uh!" "Stop cutting me o-" "Nevaaaah!" I glared at him. "Okay, okay, sorry. Chill. Didn't mean to interrupt the conversation with your boyfriend!~" "EEEDD!" Both Edd and Matt broke into laughter, Tord was silent the whole time, which only made me more worried.

I took the phone away from him, still glaring. I quickly apologized to Tord, getting no answer whatsoever. Then I noticed that he hung up. 'Damn you, Edd.' I texted Tord as soon as the two idiots I call my friends stopped laughing.

PineappleBoi: Tordie, I'm so sorry about that

"Come on, Tom! You really can't take jokes, can you?" I looked up at him. "Okay, but you didn't have to make him hang up." "He hung up?" I nodded. He sighed. "Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you."

N0RSK1: It's fine, you didn't do anything wrong

PineappleBoi: Edd's also sorry

N0RSK1: Tell him it's okay

"You're lucky. Tord forgives you." Edd smiled at me. "Your boyfriend is really nice." I glared at him. "Oh, shut your mouth!" I playfully punched his arm. "Why do you call him that?" "You two act like a couple!" "No, we don't!"

N0RSK1: Hey? Do we act like a couple that he called me your boyfriend.?

PineappleBoi: We're just arguing about it

N0RSK1: -////-

"I just wanted to borrow your laptop so I could search for a job, but you know what? Nevermind." "Wait, wait. You? A job?" "Yeah." Edd smiled. I knew exactly what he wanted to say so I just glared at him, sending him that 'don't even think about it' message.

"Well alright then.~ It's on my desk in my room, you can go get it." I mumbled a 'thanks' and went into his room to get it, texting Tord on the way there.

No one's POV:

I started coloring my drawing. I drew myself. Just slightly differently than how I really look. I drew both my eyes blue, I gave myself a star necklace and a pastel pink barrette. I always wanted one of those. And to make it more interesting, I drew myself some round glasses and a band-aid on my cheek.

Come on, I can't be the only one who draws themselves cuter, skinnier and/or prettier. Right?? Suddenly, I heard my phone buzz.

PineappleBoi: Okay, I'm searching for a job now, borrowed Edd's laptop

N0RSK1: Cool!

PineappleBoi: Also, u okay now?

N0RSK1: Yeah, I'm good. Though, do we really act like a couple?

PineappleBoi: I don't know, but sorry if that made things weird

N0RSK1: No worries.

Though, I was still worried. What if I ended up developing feelings for Tom.? 'Well that'd be a problem, right? It could ruin our friendship.. I don't wanna lose him... I have to control myself. Or else I'll ruin everything. Again. Just like all the times before.

I can't let that happen.'

I'm sorry if this story is getting boring. I'm getting more disappointed in it. Man, I really should write more. Have a nice day, guys. Stay safe
