Tom's POV

Tears swelled in my eyes as faces stared at me, I could only feel pain. The pain knocked me to the ground. 'What's going on? Who are these people? Who am I? Why are they staring at me?'

"Matt! That's the memory eraser gun! I don't have a way to reverse its effects yet!" A man in a red Hoodia yelled. "How much time did you erase?" He asked again.

One in a purple hoodie and a green overcoat looked at the gun "How do I tell?" He asked, I think his name is Matt. "Let me see!" The red hoodie snatched the gun from the purple hoodie.

A moment of silence stood between the two. "Matt. You erased 22 years. He's only 27!" He yelled. "So he remembers 22 years of things?" Matt said with a smile.

"He knows nothing! He has no memory! It's all empty!" The red one yelled, knocking his hand on my head. He sighed and looked at me with a bit of sadness.

No POV

Tears fell down Tom's face as Tord stared at him. Matt who had erased almost all his memory felt no guilt, but he's too dumb to know what guilt is.

"It hurts…" Tom mumbled to himself looking down at the ground with a scared expression as pain infiltrated his body. There was a single part that didn't hurt.

"What hurts?" Tord asked. Tord examined the gun thinking that's why Tom was in pain, but the gun wasn't supposed to hurt and it wasn't the reason why Tom was in pain.

Tom crossed his arms shivering. He squeezed his arms so tight that a warm reddish purplish colored liquid oozed into the blue fabric.

Tord's eyes widened at the sight. "Holy shit, Tom!" Tord exclaimed running around to find the first aid kit. "Edd where's the first aid kit?" Tord asked as he passed him to the kitchen.

"Tom should know, he had it last," Edd said looking at Tord. "Tom won't know! Do you, or do you not know where the first aid kit is?!" Tord asked rushed.

"No, why?" Edd asked as he cocked an eyebrow. "Do you know where any medical equipment is?" Tord asked.

"I mean the hospital or the bathroom. Maybe the first aid kit is in Tom's room," Edd listed.

Tord rushed to the bathroom opening the cabinet door to find only an extremely small amount of bandages which obviously wouldn't be enough. Tord then ran to Tom's room knocking the door down not bothering to try the handle.

As soon as the door was down an extreme stench and something iron and something rusting filled the air. Tord still walked into the room covering his nose to find the first aid kit covered in blood but with clean white wraps inside.

Tord was too busy getting the first aid kit to look around the room. When he got back to his room Matt was nowhere to be seen and Tom was found in the corner the tears still running down his face.

Tord slid over falling onto his knees in front of Tom. "Please take off your hoodie Tom," Tord said as calmly as he could. Tom slowly but carefully took off his jacket.

White bloodstained bandages crawled up and down both of his arms, his arms were extremely thin as if he hadn't eaten in weeks. Tord quickly replaced the bandages. "Does it hurt anywhere else?" Tord asked.

"It hurts everywhere…" Tom said holding his head tightly. As Tord looked up at Tom's face he noticed a bandage on his neck. It had the most blood on it.

Tord pulled Tom closer carefully. He undid the bandage to reveal Tom's neck with the mark of a rope and a huge scab from what looked like a blade across his neck. "What did you do…" Tord said pulling back before changing the bandages, staring deeply into the scab.

"I-I-I don't know…" Tom said squeezing his eyes shut and holding his head tighter. Tord finished wrapping up Tom's neck but could help feel guilty.

"I need to get your memories back, and once I do you're going to tell me what you did," Tord ordered before grabbing the gun.

"Now how to reverse this…" Tord said as he put it on his work table. "Why don't you go and find Edd," trod said turning back to look at Tom.

"Can I borrow a jacket, it's really cold…" Tom shivered. Tord felt a light blush go across his face. "Uh, eh, Yeah…" Tord finally managed.

He took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it to Tom as he went to grab another jacket. When Tord came back Tom's stomach growled extremely loudly. Tord chuckled as he finished putting on his jacket.

"You know what, I'll just make you lunch," Tord said, he lightly grabbed Tom's wrist as he dragged Tom into the Kitchen. Tord sat Tom down. "Wait here I'll make you a snack," Tord said as he headed to the fridge.

While Tord started cooking Tom looked around noticing some pictures on the fridge when Tord closed it. Some consisting of him and Tord giving mean glares at each other. A few selfies of Matt. A picture with all four of them and a picture of Edd kissing a can of cola.

Shortly the smell of bacon filled the air. "I hope you don't mind bacon, it's kind of the only thing we have, and it's the only thing I know how to make." Tord chuckled shyly.

Tom shook his head. "That's fine, but is there enough to fill my stomach 'cause man it hurts," Tom joked as he patted his stomach lightly.

Tord gave a sad glare at Tom as he returned to cooking the bacon. "Who wants pizza!" Edd welled as he came into the kitchen holding up his phone.

The two glared at Edd, "Smells good," Edd said. "It's for Tom so don't even ask, I'm even making sacrifices so that means it's important. But can order Tom a whole pizza?" Tord said plating some bacon.

"You're paying if I order a whole pizza for Tom," Edd said. "Fine, but make his pizza pepperoni." Tord sighed in defeat.

Edd's eyes widened in shock. Normally Tord would say the pizza Tom wanted was pineapple and Edd would just get cheese instead because he knew Tom wouldn't mind it. But Tom's favorite pizza was pepperoni.

"Okay, what's going on? You normally say pineapple pizza. And how did you know his favorite pizza?" Edd asked.

"Matt erased his memories, and I saw something I never thought or wished I'd see," Tord said irritated at first then to a more sober tone.

"What did you see?" Edd asked really curious. "I don't want to talk about it," Tord said as he finished up with the bacon.

He set down in front of Tom. "Want anything to drink?" Tord asked Tom. "What do we have?" Tom asked.

"Smirnoff and water," Tord said. "Smirnoff sounds weird, I'll take it," Tom responded.

Tord walked off and took a bottle out of the fridge and brought it to Tom. Tom opened the bottle and took a small sip. He gave a huge gag as it burned his throat, but it felt nice and tasted nice. Tom then chugged the rest of it.

He wiped the runaway drops of Smirnoff off on his hand and began to eat the bacon. Edd walked out of the room as he dialed a number as Tord set across the table from Tom.

"Is it good?" Tord asked sheepishly. A huge smile appeared on Tom's face. "It's amazing! It's cooked my favorite way! Crispy!" Tom said with an even bigger smile.

Tord gave a slight smile. "I think that's the first time I've seen you smile. It looks good on you," Tord complimented.

Tom's face turned a little red as he finished up his bacon.

Once Tom was done Tord took his plate and washed it in the sink. Soon a knock was heard on the door. Edd ran over he took the pizza and handed him some cash and then closed the door. Edd then walked in setting paper plates in front of every seat.

"Matt! Pizza's here!" Edd yelled as he plated the pizza. Matt then walked in and sat down in front of Tom and Edd sat next to Tom, Tord then sat next to Matt.

Once they were done Edd asked them if they wanted to watch some random cartoon. Matt agreed and Tord said no.

"I'll pass," Tom said. Edd then stood up and walked into the living room and Matt followed behind. "You can come." Tord sighed.

"Huh?" Tom gave a look of confusion. "You were going to ask if you can come with me were you not?" Tord asked.

Tom nodded in agreement. Tord then stood up and walked into his room as Tom followed with a small smile on his face.

Once they entered the room Tord sat down at his table and started to work on the gun while Tom sat on the couch.

Tom let out a huge yawn. "You tired?" Tord asked. Tom nodded his head. "You can sleep," Tord said. "Goodnight then," Tom said before passing out. Light snores filled the room as Tom drifted into sleep.
