Chapter 1

One Hell Of A Reunion

(Tuesday night 9:45 p.m.)

"Fifteen minutes Edd" a bartender shouts from the backdoor of the music venue immediately going back in.

Edd breathes in deep and lets out a long sigh reaching in his backpack pulling out Kool cigarettes. "The hypocrisy" chuckling to himself thinking back to all the times he warned his friends the dangers of smoking. However in his case it was the only way to calm his nerves before a show other than drinking but he didn't feel like it tonight.

Lighting his cancer stick he can't help but look up and notice the moon orange and bulbous. Eddward was never one to believe in superstition or luck only in fact yet for some strange reason he felt something. Within the confines of his stomach there was a certain discomfort that would not cease. "Simply "Pre-Show Jitters" that's all" trying to reassure himself, flicking his cigarette he then prepares his transformation to his alter-ego.

Walking inside he slips past all the fans that are too drunk or too stoned to realize where they are into the bathroom. Placing his back pack on the sink he takes a long stare into the mirror. "Don't dream it… be it" quoting one of his favorite movies he proceeds to pull out a make-up kit from his backpack. He slips out of his v neck t-shirt and starts with his primer when a thought popped up. If the Eddward from ten years ago could see himself now and how his life is. You would think he'd go into cardiac arrest and none of this would ever happen "If only" Edd whispered faintly.

Slapping on kabuki style make-up from his nose to slightly above his eyebrows covering him like a mask. He then continued by outlining the edges with emerald green, it was his favorite color they matched "His" eyes. When done with the eye shadow that matched the outline he reached into his kit to pull out a small container of glitter. Grabbing a small amount with his thumb and forefinger he tilts his head back and sprinkles it around his eyes. Finally putting on lipstick black on bottom and green on top a sudden knock on the bathroom startled him.

"Edd hurry up man we got like three minutes" it was Marie his bass player and one of his oldest friends. "I'll be out momentarily you cannot rush perfection" Edd replied with agitation. Standing up letting out another sigh he grabs his things and walks into a toilet stall. Slipping out of his sneakers he drops his shorts as well as his underwear and pulls out his costume from his backpack. A pair of black leather pants and black combat boots, he felt a surge of confidence when wearing these. Walking out of the stall he takes one last look in the mirror "Oh" he almost forgot. Removing his beanie he watched his long black hair fall to his shoulders apart from the white strands that fell in front of his left eye. Reaching in his backpack he pulls out a water bottle he couldn't wet his hair with the sink here it was "Filthy". So grabbing a couple paper towels to cover his make-up he poured the water into his hair leaving a sleek shine. Droplets from his hair fell going down his chest showing definition to his toned body.

"Jett, Jett, Jett" the fans chanted with such eagerness a smirk crept onto his face. "Time to give the people what they want" he grabbed his things and proceeded to the stage. The mc grabbed the microphone "Alright freaks moan and groan for… Jett and the Necrophobes"!

Even though there was only around sixty people it sounded like sixty thousand from the cheers. Edd felt the hairs on his neck stand up nothing beats the rush of being on stage in front of cheering fans. Looking over to Marie he simply nods and the show begins with a bang.

Edd reaching for his microphone turns toward the crowd and notices at the bar a certain red hat. Grip tightened, eyes widened and teeth clenched he instantly recognizes the figure before him. So stunned he misses his cue luckily Marie stomped on his foot hard enough for him to snap back with a loud scream.

In the crowd Kevin was hanging with his best friend ready to unwind completely unaware who is singing on the stage. Only focusing on the drink in front of him thinking how he could have been out when his kid is snoozing in the crib with his girlfriend. Even if it was her that told him he should go since he's been so uptight lately.

"Yo kev check out this band dude it's sick" His best friend Chase wanted to see this band play for a while now ever since he heard them on Facebook.

Looking on stage he looks at the lead singer with a slight discomfort "This aint really my thing man". Chase just glared at him for a second "Just close your eyes and listen then".

It was obvious that Chase had a crush on the lead singer he had this look that almost seemed mesmerized. So he decided to humor him and tried to only listen "Hey they aren't half bad" Kevin may not like the look but he did like the sound.

Opening his eyes he looked at the singer again 'Definitely doesn't have a bad bod… wait'. Something about his figure seemed familiar he couldn't quite place it. Nudging his friend he asks "Hey Chase what's that singer's name"? "Huh? Its Jett man". 'No way that's his real name' Kevin simply rolled his eyes and kept listening.

"This is going to be our last song tonight" Edd said with a slight uneasiness "God I would do anything to that guy" Chase pouted thinking he's already taken. Kevin turned to him with a grin "Why don't you blow him after the show"? Chase smirked only saying "I wish" their attention brought back to the stage.

"This is a cover yet I dedicate it to the guy who took my virginity" Edd yelled into the microphone. Someone in the crowd screamed "Who me" to which everyone laughed, Edd looked directly at Kevin shouting "This is to you Kevin".

As soon as he heard his name he froze turning his head to see Edd staring right at him with one hand holding the microphone the other in his pants.

"Kev, are you okay man" Chase looked at him confused not getting a response. He shrugged looking back at his crush with eagerness.

Edd: A gimme danger little stranger

And I'll feel you bleed

A gimme danger little stranger

And I'll heal your disease

There's nothing in my dreams

Just some ugly memories

Kiss me like the ocean breeze

Edd was on fire he felt the urge to give everything he had as a big "Fuck you" to you Kevin.

Edd: I wanna feel it, feel it, I wanna fucking feel it!

Hitting the final note Edd felt the last breath of air leave his lungs and dropped onto the stage gasping for breath. The crowd roared with cheers everyone screaming that is everyone but Kevin he was left dumbstruck.

"Dude wasn't that awesome, tell me it wasn't I dare you"? Chase asked exhausted from cheering.

Kevin was still staring at the stage thinking 'It can't be he doesn't have the beanie or the gap teeth'. Finally Edd stood up, grabbed his backpack, raised his hands and went out through the side door to get some fresh air.

Seeing him leave Kevin instinctively followed he had to know if it was really "Him" hoping it was just a bad coincidence. Edd strolled through the parking lot so he could sit down on the hood of his Honda. When he sits down he reaches in his bag for another water bottle "Always good to hydrate" chuckling to himself.

'I wonder if he's going to say anything… probably not' Leaning back on the hood he takes a drink while staring at the stars above him when.

"Double Dee is that you"? Smirking Edd sits upright to say "Salutations Kevin enjoy the show"?
