In Our Nightmares | TordTom

Chapter 34

Tord's POV

After we went home from the arcade. I had to find a place to sleep, which Tom was the only one I could ask since Edd and Matt were already in their apartment, sleeping. Matt saying he needed his beauty sleep urgently, and Edd, he was just tired. So I was left with asking Tom

"Is it alright if I sleep in your apartment for tonight?" I ask as he unlocked his door

"Yea sure, I don't mind" Tom said and pushed open his door walking inside "Follow me, I have a spare room you can stay in" Tom said as he showed me to the room in his apartment

It was a normal bedroom "You sure I can stay here Thomas? I don't want to intrude" I said "I'm fine with sleeping on the couch" I said searching the back of my neck nervously

"No, no. You're fine" Tom said and opened the door. I walked inside and he walked in after "And plus, you're a friend Tord" Tom said rather quietly which I barely heard since he said it quickly

"This is a nice room" I said looking around, I just played it off like I didn't hear what he said "What'd you use it for?" I ask, my gaze landed on a picture that was hung on the wall

"Well, it's technically just a room of your things" Tom said

"Wait really?" The picture I saw was the picture of me we had in the old house. The picture that hid the picture of the button, Tom drew on the glass, but it was in a different frame now

"Yea. After the, y'know, I found a lot of your stuff alright and I put it in this room since I didn't come in here. So technically anything related to you, I put in here" Tom explained

I hummed "You found that picture?" I ask motioning to the frame

Tom nodded "Oh, and some of the stuff is really old. Like from when we were kids" Tom said "Anyways, I'll let you get some rest, my room is just across yours if you need me. Knock" Tom said then left closing the room door as he did

I sighed and plopped down onto the old bed, it creaked and dipped from my weight. I was wondering if this was a bed from the old house. I mean it could be. I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. I rubbed my face running my hand through my hair

Let's hope everything will be ok tomorrow

I sat up and pulled off my hoodie setting it on the dresser. I looked around the room and my gaze landed on some boxes in front of the open closet. I slid off the bed and walked over to the closet

Being curious, I sat down in front of the boxes. I pulled open the flaps and looked inside. It seemed to be full of pictures. I picked one up and smiled when I saw it. It was a picture of all of us when we were kids (Picture at the top)

It was a nice picture. I didn't really want to be in a picture at the time, but I ended up being dragged into it by Tom. I always had a hard time saying no to the adorable boy. Edd didn't exactly want to be taken picture of as he wanted to drink his new favorite drink

But they said he can take a picture with his cola. So he didn't mind, even if Tom was the one to want to take the picture, he got shy and hid behind his bear. Matt was happy to take the picture, that was obvious by the smile he gave. I chuckled softly and set it back into the box

I looked at the pictures that were in there. They all held special memories. And I couldn't stop smiling at them. Certain ones I shed some tears to, but it wasn't a lot. I forgot most of these. But seeing the pictures reminded me. I like this. I put away the pictures and put it into the closet. I grabbed another box and opened it to see what was inside

It seemed to be full of tapes. Cassette tapes. I picked one up. They all had a white strip of paper with a title on them. All but one. And that one looked old. I grabbed the tape with nothing on it. I wonder what this one is. I looked through the box and found a camcorder. I picked that up and opened the side

I set the tape down, I was thinking we can maybe watch it tomorrow. I looked and picked up one, I read the name. 'Space Cats' is said in a black marker. It was that movie the guys made, we always made a recreation. They must've saved the video on a tape. Did they save both?

I popped in the tape and I made sure it was rewinded and pressed play

-Time skip-

In the end, I ended up laughing. It was so cringy, but it was also quite good. I covered my mouth to quiet my laughs, I didn't want to wake Tom. It's so funny to see them in their own movie. Ah, what great times huh? I chuckled and paused the tape, rewinding it. Once it was done I opened the cassette door and pulled it out

I then put in the one that had no label. I rewinded it then closed the camcorder. I put the other tape back into the box and pushed it into the closet. I stood up and closed the closet doors. I walked over to the bed and set the camcorder on the nightstand before climbing into the bed

I crawled under the blankets and closed my eyes. I slowly fell asleep with a last thought on mind

It's gonna be ok... I hope
