You were sitting on a pavement, quietly. You were waiting for someone to visit your lonely and empty grave. Matt? Tord, perhaps? Maybe even Edd?

But no, no one visited. You sighed to yourself, standing up to walk around the cemetery. You held your head up, now seeing a familiar blue hoodie. The flask, the black eyes, you were sure it was Tom. You stood up to hug him but your hand just went past.

"T-Tom..." you murmured to yourself. "There was something I've always wanted to tell you." you stood beside him, your heart filled with sorrow. "T-that night...when I was shot..." you continued. 

"I never did get to say how I felt about you." you brought your head down, tears now flowing out from your eyes. "I saw you running towards me. I couldn't see your eyes, but I could tell you were confused."

"I wish my heart was strong enough to wake me up, to finally tell you I loved you before I go." you yelled. "I'm sorry I'm weak, I'm sorry I'm too afraid, I'm sorry I-"

"I wasn't good enough." you heard Tom say. You looked up at him, dazed. "What?"

"How are you today, (your name)?" he slurred. It made your heart jump with joy. Just hearing the voice of the drunken fool cheered you up. "It's a beautiful sunset, don't you think?" he sat down beside your grave. 

"Surprise, surprise, I'm actually envious of how this has a great view. You get to see this everyday." he laughed."Y'know, it gets lonely. With only Matt and me together in the house. We had no one else to talk to." he wiped away his tears. "I hope you like your new home, unlike our shitty one." he laughed a bit.

"Edd is nearby too." 

Your heart shattered. Edd was dead? When? How come you didn't know? "I forgot to tell you, he died the other week." Tom took a sip from his flask. "And though you two weren't as close, I always knew you cared for him."

"I'm....I always wanted to tell you," he spoke gingerly. "I love you." he laughed. "Like, love love love love!" You chuckled. It was rare to see Tom act like this. "I know that might seem weird coming from a fool like me, but I do." 

He stood up, leaving a bouquet of flowers down beside your grave. "Well, I'm sure you're very excited to see Edd again. And (your name), love,"

"Yes?" you spoke willingly. "Do say hello to him for me?" 

"Oh Tom..." you whispered, holding his cheeks gently. "Of course."
