CHAPTER 25

Hey guys!! So before I start this, have some news, exams are coming up in June. So I will be forcing myself NOT to update so I can focus on my studies. My marks may be I the 70-90s, but I CANNOT afford to fail! So no updates! Unless I over study, cause myself to have a mental break down, and need a break. Only then! Will I update, but I need to study!! So I may quit updating soon, then I'll have ALL summer!! Ok! Enjoy this filler chapter cuz I have mild writers block and have NO IDEA where this story is going!!

( Nat's p.o.v )

So, I was sitting on my bed, adding my finishing touches to my scrap book. I spilled a whole bunch of different coloured glitter on the pages and blew it off, leaving a gorgeous design on it that had stuck on the glue.

Perfect !!

I closed my book, this wasn't any ORDINARY scrap book, oh no!

No, this, this was a scrap book filled with all of my ships!

I just finished my Edd x Eddy ship!

Kevin was absolutely appalled by my fabulous work. But hey! They were SOOOOOO cute on their date yesterday.

I let out an un human squeal.

He just doesn't understand, I mean, when he brutally LEFT poor double cutie! Without consulting ME ! His best friend. And RUINING my ship for ever.

I had a COMPLETE melt down! I put so much EFFORT into that KEVEDD page. Only for my hoped to be CRUSHED!!!

And my Cupcake ( Rave~) even helped me on it! We drew fan art and EVERYTHING!!

He's pretty upset about it too.

* sighs*

I guess I should be starting my homework.

....... Right after a nap, school was SUPER boring! And coach Dickson made us run 5 extra laps!

That's five to many !!!!!

( Edd's p.o.v )

I sat on my couch contemplating things that have been going on lately. Which if I must say is quite a lot!

I mean, I'm starting to wonder if I may have feelings for Eddy, I mean, that may explain how I have feeling as of lately. But yet again, I did have these feelings for Kevin, but then he left me completely shattered. And I don't even know why or how I was capable of feeling such despair after output break up , we hadn't even been dating for a month!

And why was it that I got over him almost instantly when Eddy was holding me, trying to comfort me in my time of need. It makes me wonder if what I was feeling for Kevin was genuine, or if it was just some kind of lust. And even if I DID have feelings for Eddy, are they genuine, or just lust?

What about when Eddy told me about his family life, and all of these things he had kept hidden from me for all of these years! If we are as close as I feel we are, why couldn't I suspect something. All of this makes me question who I am as a person, and as a friend, which is only making me feel worse about myself!

I haven't been doing so good lately, my parents want me to go to there apt because they suspect something is wrong with me.

Lately I haven't really smiled, or acted to enthusiastic over anything, or gotten that much sleep. I have also lost nearly 10 pounds, because I haven't been eating that much either. that is not good, because I am already under weight. My self esteem also doesn't seam to be that high either. Also, the fact that I get bullied on a regular basis does not seam to be helping either. Any ways, my parents are starting to suspect that something is not well with me, so they are sending me to a psychologist. I don't really know why people feel the need to torment me, I do not know it is because of my OCD, or because of they way I talk. Or maybe because I am simply and easy target to make themselves seem more powerful. If they feel the need for excessive power, then maybe they should be the ones to go see a physiologist, instead of me. I also feel guilty, because I am upset with Eddy for not telling me the whole truth, but I myself am not telling whole truth. Which makes me question who I am as a person, or if I am even worthy of having such great friends.

I was immediately snapped out of my thoughts when I hear a knocking at the door, it must be Lorianne. ( a/n p, just so you know, it is pronounced LOR-EE-ANN )

Lorianne was coming over after school so we can work on our project together. I would like to think that we have become good friends. We became really close, I can always talk to her about what is going on in my life, and she can do the same. She is the only one who I told about having to see a physiologist....... And about how I am feeling around Eddy. She is very nice and did not judge me being Gay, or possibly dealing with some slight mental disorders. In fact, she too needs to see a therapist soon as well, she had told me about her severe performance anxieties.

I opened the door to be greeted with a shy girl with purple glasses.

" H-hello E-Eddward, may I enter now?"

" but of course!" Said trying my best to be welcoming and enthusiastic even though that last part was fairly difficult for me.

She walked in with her back pack, Bristol board, and some paint brushes.

She rested them on the table and then looked back up to me brushing her dark brown hair behind her ears.

" So, where shall we start?" I said to her.

She took a seat on the couch pulling out her note book filled with rough sketches an notes for our project and I did the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( time skip )

We both added the finishing touches to our project for the night.

" I think we have made a great amount of progress don't you think?" I said.

" y-yeah, we did an ok j-job"

We packed up our utensils and equipment.

" So, what should we do now?" She asked.

( minor time skip cuz I can!)

After that we were sitting on the couch sipping our green tea from our mugs, the weather was strange, a couple of days ago, It was warm enough for me and Eddy yo eat Ice cream. But the temperature have dropped rapidly, almost like magic! Except not like magic because that would be scientifically impossible.

We had just finished our homework, I was pulled out of my thoughts when I realized Lorianne was speaking to me.

" ..... So apparently I'm fat because I ate three donuts........Edd, are you alright you seem to be out of it".

I to,d that I was fine, she seemed convinced, then she started to speak again.

" So, tell me about you and Eddy"

This caught me off guard, I started to blush.

" W-what ever do you mean?"

" Come on Vincent, you know what I mean, tell me more about how things are between you. And how your feelings are."

I let out a sigh.

" I don't know Lori" Lori is the nickname I had given her.. As of now.

" what exactly for you mean by, you don't know? You don't know how things are, or you don't know how you feel?"

" umm, a bit of both?"

She shifted her weight then made a thinking expression whiles looking off at a distance.

" Well, tell me how you are feeling now, maybe I can determine your emotions"

I shrugged, it's worth a shot, and I have indeed been " dying" yo get some things off my chest.

So I told her everything. From me and Kevin's break up, to the last time we spent a night together. But I left out the details on what Eddy had told me because I felt like that was his own personal information. And it wasn't my right to tell other people about that, but I did tell that he did tell me something personal that he was keeping from me for years. As well as how I felt about it.

After I was done speaking I looked up at her because I was looking into my tea cup the whole time.

I saw that she had a wide grin on her face.

" Lori, what's so..."

But I was interrupted with a loud in human screach.

" EEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHGGGAANNGGGHHDGVDGBNKJAHH!!"

I covered my ears and checked my hands.

I met out a sigh of relief. I was sure that my ears were bleeding.

" oh! I'm sorry Edd, its just. That's SOOOO adorable!! I'm already in love with you two!"

I was shocked, I have never seen this side of Lori. She was usually quiet and extremely shy!

" So..."

" so what?" She said.

I rolled my eyes.

" what do you think? What do you think all of this means?"

" Oh," she cleared her throat.
" it sounds to me like your on love."

This made me blush hard. No! She's just saying that!

" W-what!! No! I'm not 'in love' with him! You are just saying that because that's what you want to happen!"

She took a long swig at her tea.

"man thats good" she said to herself, then continued with what she was saying.

" that may. be. true! Buuuttttt! I'm being serious here! It sounds like your in love.

" but that preposterous! I do not have feelings for him! He is just my friend."

" ....that what they all say?"

I was now confused.

" what who all says?"

" no one...."

"......"

" but seriously dude!ets look at the factors. Why else did you always put up an effort to impress him with all of your gadget shit"

My eyes widened. I did not think that Lori of all people would be one to swear.

" .......language."

I said out if habit. She blushed embarrassed.

" S-s-sorry"

" it's OK"

" it also explaines why you were feeling that way when you were around, and when he was holdin g you hand"

It made me blush when I thought about holding his hand.

" ... And why always wanted him around. And why you felt bad when he didn't tell you about his past. Since you like him, you were upset about not being able to prevent all of that pain."

" well yes, but aren't people shi are friends concerned with each others well being??"

" .. Yes, but people who are, ' just friends' do not blush they touch them, or think about how attractive they are."

" but, I felt those things with Kevin, and that clearly wasn't love."

" yes, but the way you described your relationship and a feelings for Kevin, does not sound Luke the way you feel about Eddy. This seems...I don't know, a little more genuine."

We continued to debate about the topic for a while.

Until she went on a full on rant on why I am 'in love' with Eddy. And also why we are , apparently, meant to be.

" ...................... And that is why YOU, Eddward Marion Vincent. Are IN LOVE with Eddy Skipper Reese! .... End of conclusion!"

......well, I would have to admit, she made some good points in her almost 10 minute long rant. Maybe I do have some feelings for Eddy.... Though I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying that I am in LOVE!

I  guess I will have to think about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was almost 7 o'clock by now.

Lori was still at my house and we were still talking, since it was late, I offered to have her stay to eat dinner with me.

After we were done eating we were watching t.v on the couch.

" Edd" Lori started.

" Yes?"

" I hope you do not mind me asking, but where exactly are your parents?"

I was silent for a minute before responding.

" .. They are across the seas doing business"

" oh... And when will they return"

" ...... In a couple of months."

" in a couple of MONTHS!!?"

" ... Yes"

She had a look of concern on her face.

" but you will be all alone!!"

" it's ok, really, I'm used to it"

She put one hand on my shoulder.

" but you shouldn't be, if you ever need anything. Make sure to give me a call and I will come RIGHT over to keep you company! Ok" she said then gave me a big hug.

I let out a small giggle, then responded.

" thank you"

" no problem... Bestie!!" Saying the last part excitedly.

I then heard a knock at the door.

" I'll be right back" I said then left to go answer the door.

I opened it and it was....

" Hey double d"

I blushed.

" h-hello Eddy"

" can I come in??" He said

" s-sure.."

He walked in and looked at Lori, Lori looked a combination of exited, nervous, confused all at once.

" ..who's this?" Eddy said motioning to the girl on my couch wrapped in blankets.

" Oh! Eddy, this is Lorianne, Lori, this is Eddy" I said with a fake smile on my face although I was panicking on the inside for some unknown reason.

" well, I should be heading home, it's a school night after all..." She said getting up of the couch.

" oh, ok. I shall see you tomorrow. Same time?"

She was just about to walk out the front door when she turned around and said...

" yeah! See you tomorrow. And remember! If you ever need anything, call." I gave her a slight nod.

Then she looked over at Eddy, then back at me.

" well, I don't wanna ' interrupt ' anything" she said whiles winking at me, causing me to blush.

" bye bestie!"

" good bye" I said whiles closing the door from behind her. Then I turned to face Eddy.

" so, what brings you here?"

" oh, I thought that you said that I'm always welcome to stay here?"

" you are! I'm just asking how come, is everything alright." His face saddened a bit.

" uh yeah, every things just fine. Just some stuff going on at home, that's all."

" oh.. Well if you want to talk about it, we can" I said whiles resign my head in his shoulder. His face reddened a bit, I assumed it was because of embarrassment so I stopped.

" well, it's getting late, maybe I can let you get washed up and then we can go to bed?"

He nodded

" that sounds like a plan"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( time skip )

I gave Eddy some clothes to sleep in, then he got into bed with me.

As soon as he layer down with me I snuggled next to him and buried my face in the crook of his neck. I heard him chuckle, then looked up at him.

" what's so funny??"

" mmm, nothing." He said with a big grin on his face which made me blush again.

" oh, ok"

" .....Edd?"

" ..yes Eddy?"

" never mind, good night"

( Eddy's p.o.v)

I laid down finally ready to catch some z's, letting out a deep sigh and closed my eyes. Then, I felt something cuddle up on my side.

I looked over to see Edd burying his face in the crook on my neck. It sort of ticked so I laughed a bit.

He looked up to me giving me the cutest look

" what's so funny??" He asked me.

" mmm, nothing" I said.

"oh, ok" he said softly.

He looked so adorable, God I loved him so much. I was just about to tell him how much I loved him.

" .........Edd?"

" ....yes Edd"

But I changed my mind last minute.

" never mind, good night".

" good night Eddy" he said whiles letting out a cute yawn, while his eye lids were fluttering , struggling to stay opened. I couldn't help myself any more! I leaned down and gave him a kiss on the nose. It was dark in his bed room but even I could see that he was blushing.

" E-Eddy..." He stuttered, this made me regret my actions. But all of a sudden, he hugged my chest and buried his face in my side. I returned the hug with a big smile on my face.

( No ones p.o.v )

The two boys cuddled with each other that night. Eddy wondered if Edd returned the same feelings for him. Whiles Edd wondered if it was true that he himself had feelings for Eddy. He replayed the words that Lori said to him....

" it sounds like your in love "

Well, that's it for now folks! This was kind of a filler chapter, I kind of improvised the whole thing. I'm thinking of changing the plot that I had in mid just a bit to go well with how things are moving along. Now, this doesn't affect you, because it's not like you know what I had planned anyways. But I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry if I don't update often because of exams. I'm also sorry for my grammar errors, my auto correct is screwed up. For I.e, it changes the word to to yo for what ever reason. And Edd to ESD ?!? .. Any who, that's all for now! Please leave a comment on what you want to happen next. Remember to submit your character in the comment section. And make sure to fallow me so you can read my other shipping books.

Well, bye ~
