-please enjoy!-

Eddward Vincent walked through the halls of Peach Creek Highschool during after school hours, because of cleaning duties, humming to himself. He was having the best day. He got his report card, all A's even in his dreaded gym class. He was practically skipping down the halls. He had the young scientists convention to look forward to that weekend. His life was perfect. The fact that Marie Kanker, because she got a boyfriend, stopped bugging him just two years ago was a miracle.

Just as he thought about that name a loud noise came down the hall and scared the living daylights out of him. He ran towards the noise, it came from the door at the back of the school. Who was here at this hour? Edd thought he'd be the only one there other than the many teachers and staff. He ran as fast as his feet could bring him, fear setting in. He didn't want anything broken on his watch, if he let it happen his perfect record would be tarnished. Edd even if he was a bit lanky was tall enough to have some intimidation over his peers, so he kept his eyes on the way to the back of the school.

What he saw, he wasn't ready to see. He saw Marie Kanker pinned against the door with her arms behind her, and her boyfriend Douglas Grayson holding his fingers around her neck. "I don't care about what you say that he was to you, he doesn't need to talk to you! You're mine! You fucking got that?" After he said that, he forcefully kissed her. Edd had never seen a man be so forceful with their women. The sight sent chills down his spine, seeing the normally confident and bad ass girl shrink down in defeat. "Yes..." she whimpered quietly, but that wasn't enough. He turned her towards him and slapped her. The sound echoed through the quiet halls causing the quiet onlooker to flinch. "Yes! Fine! It won't be a problem! Please stop... you're hurting me again..." her words were full of emotion. "Fine... i gotta go! Head to that stupid trailer park!" He said pushing her to the ground and leaving out the door.

In a panic Edd tripped causing Marie to turn towards him with wide eyes. She realized, Edd saw... he saw him hurt her... why did it have to be him?... of all the people she knows... Edd still meant a lot to her, even if she didn't exist to him beyond this

"M-marie... I... I can't-" he was interrupted by her, her voice was scared. "How much did you see?!" She jumped up, her back against the door. "I... welll... I... saw him... hurt you..." he was more concerned than afraid. "Don't say anything... got it... just shut your trap about it..." she looked like a dear in headlights. Edd stood there dumbfounded, did he hear her say to be quiet about this?

"But Marie! It's against my beliefs to treat this like nothing..." he didn't understand what was just happening. She said that he was hurting her again? Did he do this often? He didn't want it to continue, but he couldn't help but feel out of place. He barely talks to her, or knows her personally.

"To you... i don't exist unless I'm forcing myself on you remember?... so continue that... besides... your friends wouldn't let you help a Kanker remember... I'm nothing without him around... " she said with a frown watching him turn away with a confused and guilty look. "But Marie... I ... I ... don't understand..." her saw her face change to a more serious one. "Then let me put it into better words... you saw nothing... this is nothing... this talk never happened... and please stay away... i don't want him to get mad at you too..." with those words she left.

Later at Eddy's house he couldn't stop thinking about what he saw. How are you supposed to just forget watching someone you've seen and known for years get beaten up by their boyfriend and let it happen. He couldn't stop picturing her fall to the ground, or when Douglas slapped her. He was a jock, and was one of the stronger football players beneath Kevin and Ed. He didn't hit her lightly, she was going to bruise. He wouldn't be able to look at her without thinking of this!

"Sock head? You cool man?" Eddy said eating a piece of pizza, looking at his friend with a raised brow. "Uh... yeah! I'm cool, happening, and not freaking out!" He said nervously, receiving two looks of concern from his close childhood friends. "Double D?" Ed said tilting his head in confusion. "I need to do the laundry! See you guys tomorrow!" Edd said running out the door door and not stopping until his eyes met the sight of the inside of his house. He sighed and slid down the door "oh dear... i can't just forget it... i gotta do something... i gotta get her to let me." He thought before heading to do his chores.
