"Hello Tord." The voice awoke Tord. He knew that voice. It was Tom. Was he right? Tord looked. He was right. The man who hated him was now standing in the doorway of Tord's hospital room. The Red Leader gulped. He didn't know what to do. "What are you doing here?" Tord asked, suddenly afraid.
"I'm seeing how you are doing," Tom simply said. Tord could tell he seemed uncomfortable standing there. Tord took a moment to remember what happened. He didn't want me to die. He wants to be FRIENDS! he thought. Now why would Tom want to be friends? "I thought you hated me," Tord said. That was true.
"Not entirely. During the texting i relized that. I'm sorry," Tom said. "Perhaps, when you get out of here, you can live with Matt, Edd and i." Tord was surprised. Didn't Edd and Matt hate him as well? "Would Edd aprove?" he asked weakly. He didn't want to sound too hopeful. Edd could turn him down. "I'll ask" Tom responded.
"Tom, i'm sorry for what i did," Tord said. He wanted his old friend to know that. Tom nodded- he understood.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Tom called as he left. Tord didn't know what to think. He and Tom had hated each other for a long time. Now Tom says he doesn't hate him as much? Things seemed odd, very odd, to Tord at this moment.
"Hey Edd!" Tom said as he walked into the room.
"Hey Tom!" Edd responded, turning back to the movie he and Matt were watching. "How's Tord?"
"Alive," Tom said. "Edd, about Tord. Could he live with us again? He, after all, has no place to go home to. He was living in a box in a alley."
"Of course he can!" Edd answered. He had already forgiven Tord. Tom smiled. He would tell Tord the very next day.
