Chapter 1

It's your fault.

It's always been your fault.

You could have stopped it all.

You could have...

Edd threw himself forward taking huge gasps, his chest fell and risen. Tears formed in his eyes and he shakily smiled.

"This is just getting pathetic, isn't it?" he questioned himself.

I couldn't have stopped it.

It wasn't my fault.

He threw himself back onto the bed and looked up into the pitch dark room, letting out a sigh before repositioning himself on his side.

He lived alone and his habits grew bad. Everyone grew apart from one another and decided to take roles as adults.

But then he was just here. Rotting. Wasting away. He should be grateful for the life given to him.

He wasn't.

Slowly his eyes fluttered shut, his pillow was being held tightly against his chest and his legs were tucked in.

He fell asleep then suddenly heard a voice pierce through his ear drums.

"How do you feel?" the voice asked.

"I'm fine. How are you?" Edd replied in a perky tone. Usually he had nightmares. This is new.

"No, I mean.. How do you feel? Love, Hate, Joy, etcetera." the voice questioned him.

"I'm not sure.. You just do, I guess?" Edd had no idea what was happening. Everything was black and he was just floating there.

"I thought at some point I felt something towards you. Maybe even Matt too."

Edd's eyes widened and he tried to focus hard on the voice.

"Tord?" Edd asked, panicking he looked around trying to find the source of the voice.

"What, you couldn't recognize me before? Not even with this accent?" Tord chuckled and walked from the shadows of the empty void.

"And Edd.... You know you're dreaming...right?" Tord questioned.

"Well yeah-" he tried to reply but got cut off.

"You're dreaming!"
"You're dreaming!"
"You're dreaming!"

The shouts got louder and louder. He covered his ears and watched Tord disfigure and glitch right in front of him. Tears started to stream from his eyes.

"Please stop Tord! Please! You're hurting me!" He cried out and pleaded with the guy in the red hoodie.
