"Perfect" A 4 part EENE drabble.
Part One of Five
There really isn't any pairings, but I would say there's a little KevEdd.
WARNINGS: There are some gruesome details in this drabble, and i wouldn't recommend reading if you are easily triggered, or you hate this kind of writing.
Edd couldn't take it anymore. Everything has finally taken a toll on him. The constant bullying from the jocks at school, the harassment of his two closest friends, and the absent of his parents. Edd was alone, and was mentally and physically drained. He should've been use to the bullying, right? It's happened since he was a child. Edd should be use to being pushed around, called out on, and embarrassed and humiliated. It happened daily. It shouldn't bother him, but it does.
Edd laid on his bed, recollecting all the horrible memories that haunted him everyday. He felt tears sting at the corners of his eyes, but they soon slowly fell down the side of his face. He quickly stood up, wiping his eyes and making his way to his desk. He took out a pen and a piece of paper. For a few minutes, he stared at the paper in front of him, contemplating what to write. He was always great at putting his thoughts onto paper, hence his straight A's since grade school. But why was now any different? He couldn't bring himself to write.
Edd clutched then pen in his hand, then completely lost it. He screamed at the top of his lungs and knocked everything off his desk in one swift motion. He kicked back his chair and felt tears run down his face. He stared blankly at the mess he made, and felt his heart break. Edd quickly picked up everything and placed it neatly back on his desk. He leaned down to pick up the final item laying on the floor. It was a picture of Ed, himself, and Eddy. Just goofing around and smiling. Edd remembered that day like it was yesterday.
It was nearly 7 years prior, and the trio were just having a blast. They were running around the cul-de-sac, causing trouble. Edd wasn't of course, but he was there to monitor Ed and Eddy. Edd remembered taking the photograph too. He was trying to hold it in place while the other two pushed each other.
"SAY GRAVY!" Ed yelled before Double D finally took the picture. Edd smiled and ran his finger over the now cracked frame. A spark of anger ignited in him and he threw the picture against the wall. The frail teen gasped, not realizing his strength. He didn't walk over and pick up the frame as before. Instead he stepped on it with all of his might.
"HOW DARE THEY!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. With that last motion, he realized he had the guts to start writing. Edd took his seat and removed another piece of paper and grabbed a pen. He began to write.
The next day~
Edd walked into Peach Creek High school with his head low and shoulders slumped. When he awoke that morning, he laid in bed for over an hour deciding on whether or not he should even go to class. If he didn't, the school would surely call his parents, and he couldn't have that. As if he needed to give his parents a reason to communicate with him.
Edd made his way to his locker, slowly putting in the combination. He grabbed his Sociology book and notebook and a couple pencils. He glanced at his watch. 7:43. Edd sighed, knowing in a matter of seconds, someone would appear and give him hell for something. As if on cue, someone took their place right next to Edd's locker. It was none other than Kevin Barr, star football player of Peach Creek.
"Hey Double Dweeb." He smirked and stared at Edd. Edd kept his eyes on his locker, not daring to speak or look at Kevin. Kevin grew a little angry, and moved closer to Edd. "I said, hey Double Dweeb." Edd sighed and slammed his locker shut, making Kevin and others around him jump.
"What do you want Kevin?" Edd immediately regretted saying this, and you can tell Kevin was infuriated.
"Well someones a little sassy today." He smirked and a few other jocks gathered around Edd. He knew what was coming for him. He sighed and thought to himself. 'Well it just gives me another reason to follow through with my plan.' Edd dropped his books and backpack to the ground and exchanged glances with all of them.
"Go on, hit me." He finally muttered out. Everyone looked shocked, and he could hear whispering and gasping. Some of the guys backed off, including Kevin. But not all of them. Before Edd knew it, he was on the ground gasping for air. He was kicked repeatedly in the stomach and even a few punches were thrown. A crowd gathered around the three guys pummeling Edd, but no one dared to stop them, until a few teachers came out and separated them. Edd was laying on the ground, shaking and bleeding. He heard teachers yelling and saying cops were going to get involved. One of the guys managed to yell at Edd, "THAT'S WHAT WE DO TO FAGS LIKE YOU!"
He slowly stood up on his feet and took his backpack. He looked into the crowd, and there was Ed and Eddy. Right in the front of the crowd. Ed could've easily taken those men down, but he didn't. Eddy didn't do anything either. The crowd still lingered as Edd made his way over to his former best friends. Before Edd knew it, his fist connected with Eddy's jaw. He quickly drew his hand back due to the pain.
"What the hell was that for sock head!?" Eddy held his jaw in his hands and Ed looked sad as ever.
"This is your fault. EVERYTHING is your fault." Edd began to walk away when Eddy grabbed his wrist.
"C'mon Dee, you know I didn't mean to out you like that." Edd jerked his hand away and screamed at Eddy.
"Keep your fucking filthy hands off of me!" Everyone seemed shocked at Edd's language, and he was entirely shocked himself. He stared at everyone and finally found words to say. "Everything is your fault..just remember that." With that last sentence, he took his leave. He didn't even bother to go to class, he just went straight home. The crowd soon dissipated after Edd's episode. Ed took Eddy to the nurses, the jocks went to the principals office, and Kevin just stood there. He looked over at Edd's locker and saw that the dork left his books. Without thinking twice, Kevin picked them up and carried them to class with him. 'At least it'll give me an excuse to go over there..'
After school, Kevin darted out of the building and went straight to his motorcycle. He quickly made it home and he parked his bike in his garage. Kevin took a deep breath and began walking over to Edd's house. 'Why the hell am I nervous..?' As he approached the door, he heard muffled yelling. He slowly made his way to the door and began listening.
"HOW DARE YOU GET INTO A PHYSICAL DISPUTE!" A woman yelled. 'Must be his mom and dad..'
"I-i didn't mother! You don't understand! Every single day I come home with bruises from those…those brutes! And I didn't even hit them I-"
"Stop making excuses!" A male voice yelled. 'Shit… why won't they listen to him?'
"I'm not! I only punched Eddy because he deserved it and-"
There was a smacking noise, and Kevin was shocked. He put his hand over his mouth and listened. He heard soft crying and it broke his heart. He couldn't deal with listening to this anymore. He quickly tore out a piece of paper out of Edd's notebook and wrote him a note. He left it on his doorstep, hoping he'd find it before his parents did. Kevin quickly made his way back to his house.
During the rest of the night, Kevin thought about what he had heard at Edd's house. "Fuck..that poor kid.." He sighed and put his head in his hands as he sat on the edge of his bed. "He gets enough shit at home, and I have the fucking nerve to make his life at school hell." He smiled to himself and laid back down. 'Starting tomorrow, this kid's gonna have a new friend.' With that last thought, Kevin drifted to sleep.
Edd couldn't keep himself from crying all night. His parents finally retreated back to work, which he was thankful for. He sighed and looked back at his desk, where he had written his letter. He stared at the writing, and felt more tears fall down his face. He placed the letter neatly folded on the center of his bed, along with four letters. Edd made his way to the bathroom.
He stared at himself for a few seconds in the mirror, then finally decided that it was time. He searched under the sinks cabinet for the supplies he needed. He had already planned ahead of time, so everything he needed was right in place. He had a bottle of vodka, a bottle of Vicodin - due to his fathers recent ACL surgery.. He turned on the the shower, making sure the water was at a respectable temperature. He stripped out of his clothes, but left his underwear on. He couldn't have anyone who found him seeing him so over exposed. He stepped into the shower and sank to the floor. He prayed God for forgiveness of the ultimate sin he was about to commit.
"Forgive me…" He opened the bottle of Vicodin and began shoving them into his mouth, along with a gulp of vodka. Edd cringed at the taste, and immediately began feeling sick. He felt as is if he would vomit, but he didn't dare. He continued this terrible process until he felt his eyes get heavy. He felt numb all over, and soon he saw blackness.
