Don't change your mind.

Don't change your mind.

Don't change your mind.

Don't change your mind.

God I've missed Edd so much...

Just seeing him like this can make anyone who knows him well depressed.

Don't change your mind.

Don't change your mind.

Don't change your mind.

I hug Edd as a way of comforting him.

"Don't leave me again..." Edd whispers and hugs me back.

Edd cries into my hoodie.

What's funny is...

I'm usually the 1 crying.

I don't know how to respond since Edd is begging me to stay even though I have to get back to Tord...

...

You know what!

I'm going to wait for Tord to get me himself!

I'm sick of doing all the work!

If he wants me back he can get me back!

"Edd... I'll stay with you..." I say to Edd.

Edd looks up at me quickly.

"But if Tord comes to take me.. I won't fight him,"

Edd nods quickly.

"Thank you Tom! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!" Edd says and smiles.

Edd hugs me again but tighter.

I giggle and hug him back.

Good luck getting me Tord.

Edd will put up a fight.

Tord Pov:

Tom still hasn't come back.

I wonder if he usually takes this long to come back.

I stare at a small, framed picture on my desk.

(Like it? I drew it!)

I wonder when we took that.

Should I keep waiting or try to do something about Tom?

My office door bursts open and I see Patrick.

"SIR WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!" Patrick says.

"What?" I ask not completely caring.

"TOM KISSED EDD!!!!"

"WHAT?!!" I stand up.

"Our spy found out!"

"Evidence?!"

Patrick runs over to me and shows me a picture of Tom kissing Edd on his holo-pad.

My jaw drops.

My heart starts to break.

"Sir you don't understand how bad this is! Tom has only kissed you for 13 years! He could be growing feelings for Edd!" Patrick says.

"We need to get him back!" I say.

We see Paul appear in the doorway and he asks, "TOM KISSED EDD?!!"

Max, Jackie and Torm appear behind Paul.

"DAD KISSED UNCLE EDD?!" Max and Jackie ask while Torm just stands and looks surprised since he hasn't fully learned to talk yet.

Patrick runs over to everyone and shows them the picture.

"D-Dad's coming back right Dad?" Jackie asks me with a worried face.

"He has to come back! He always comes back!" Max says with uncertainty in his voice.

Everyone looks at me for a answer.

I open my mouth to answer, but I get interrupted by a call on Patrick's holo-pad.

"It's Jen!" Patrick says.

He presses answer and we all run to Pat to see Jen for ourselves.

Jennifer appears on the holo-pad.

"Everyone is eating breakfast right now Patrick. Edd and Thomas seem to be extremely close at the moment," Jennifer says.

"I like your new haircut Jen!" Jackie says.

"Thank you Jackie," Jennifer says with a smile.

"Show them now," I say to Jennifer.

"Yes Sir," Jennifer says then shows Tom, Edd, and Matt at a cafeteria table eating their breakfast.

Tom seems to be drinking Smirnoff which he hasn't done in a long time, Matt is looking in his mirror with a grin, and Edd is drinking a cola and talking to Tom. Tom's wearing his old, blue hoodie, Matt's wearing his old, purple hoodie with his old, green over coat, and Edd's wearing his old, green hoodie.

Tom and Edd are being too friendly toward each other...

It's ticking me off.

"Get close to them. I want to hear their conversation," I say to Jennifer.

"Yes Sir. I'll use my camera contact lenses." Jennifer says.

The camera suddenly changes and we see what she sees.

She grabs a book from a shelf she's hiding behind.

She walks over to the table and sits down next to the group.

She looks down and pretends to read the book.

"We should do something tonight!" Edd says.

"Like what?" Tom asks in a slightly drunk voice.

"We should go to the mirror museum! I want to admire myself in mirrors from 100's of years ago!" Matt says.

"How about we grab some Pizza and play video games?" Edd asks us.

"Sounds good," Tom says.

"Fiiiiiinne," Matt says and sighs.

"Jennifer, ask to join them," I say to Jennifer.

"Can I join you guys?" Jen asks Tom, Matt, and Edd.

Tom, Matt, and Edd look at Jen.

"Sure!" Edd says with hesitation.

That was close.

Let's hope Tom doesn't actually like Edd...
