His Stay
Chapter 4
"Hey, Tom our foods here," Tord said waking up Tom. "Open up!" Tord said in a cheerful tone. Tom opened his mouth still half asleep. Whenever Tom had just woken up he'd do anything anyone told him.
Tom chewed his food. "Chicken! My favorite! How did you know?" Tom asked. "I had a feeling, how about another bite? Tom nodded. He opened his mouth as he got another mouthful of chicken.
Tom gave a big smile of satisfaction. Tord chuckled. "Oh don't forget to call your friends." Tord remind. Tom opened his mouth for another bit. Tord gave him another mouthful of chicken.
"I won't," Tom said as he chewed his food.
A little after Tom and Tord finished their food Tom was about to call his friends when he remembered he couldn't see the screen. "Uh, can you help me?" Tom asked. "I was waiting for you to ask." Tord chuckled. Tom then felt his hands take the phone from him. "The password is 062790," Tom told him.
"Call Edd, Matt won't know how to answer." Tom chuckled at the thought of Matt answering the phone for once. He then felt the phone vibrate in his hands. "Thanks," Tom said with a smile. "No problem," Tord said softly.
Tom put the phone to his ear. "Tom? Where are you? Are you okay?" Edd asked frantically. "Don't worry Edd I'm fine. I'm staying with some guy called Red Leader." Tom explained. "Tom I figured out why you were acting so weird. You're blind right?" Edd asked.
"You didn't tell them?" Tord asked. "I didn't want to worry them," Tom said. "That was always your weakness," Tord muttered to himself.
"Who was that?" Edd asked. "That was the Red Leader. I don't know his real name though." Tom explained. "What are you doing there?" Edd asked
"One of his soldiers said he might be able to bring back my sight," Tom explained. "You idiot! You can't trust someone you just met randomly on the streets! Especially if you're blind!" Edd yelled through the phone.
Tord giggled, "Looks like someone is upset," Tord teased. "Shut up," Tom huffed. "Just promise to visit weekly if you're going to stay there." Edd sighed.
"I will make sure he does," Tord said. "Thanks, Mr. Uh Red Leader." Edd thanked Tord. "All right I'll let you be," Edd said his goodbyes and then hung up.
Tom sighed. He then put his phone in his pocket. Tom then noticed something on his face. 'Band-aids? Why do I have Band-aids all over my face?' Tom asked as he felt his face.
"Faen! Dumt jævla visir!(Fuck! Stupid fucking visor!)" Tord yelled as Tom heard something explode. Tom flinched at the sound, explosions still reminded him of that day.
"Hva skjedde?(What happened?)" Tom asked. "When did you learn Norwegian?" Tord asked. "I never learned it, it's just an old friend of mine spoke it and I guess I picked up on it."
"You spoke it a bit well just from hearing a few words in Norwegian," Tord complimented. "Uh, thanks?" Tom didn't know it was a compliment.
"Oh I got you a bottle of Smirnoff, it should be on your right. " Tord said. "Thanks," Tom reached to his right and felt a bottle. He took it and opened it.
After a huge sip, Tom heard Tord mumbling in Norwegian. Tom couldn't make out what he was saying. Tom shrugged and took one last big sip before the bottle was empty.
Tom then let out a big yawn before passing back out. "You always were the night owl," Tord said as Tom drifted away.
Tord gave him a peck on the cheek before returning to the visor.
