"you must have noticed, right?" Edd started " That my parents are always away?"
Kevin nodded
"Everyone knows their always off working"
"Actually it's more like their always overseas" Edd said simply "they didn't want to abandon their well established lives just because I..."
"You what?" Kevin pressed
"Killed someone" Edd finished in a strange tone
It took Kevin a while to take in this information before he drew a long breath and asked:
"Why?"
Edd gave a small and bitter chuckle
"I had a friend in Switzerland, the man tried to take us both away. We had been bad kids up until then, stealing, writing graffiti on walls...hurting people and that got me all those tickets that you saw before all those warnings from the police which slowly withered away because you get better at terrorism as you go along...we hurt people but I never wanted anyone to..."
Edd trailed off
"So the man?" Kevin asked
"Right... I simply grabbed the closest thing to me that was-unfortunately for him- an axe. One of my friend's neighbours had been cleaning out their house the day before and left a lot of their stuff littered in the street..."
"So...then you were sent o the Lilith compound?" Kevin asked, "I thought you had to be pretty—"
"I didn't feel anything when I killed him" Edd stated taking a seat at his work desk "he just...stopped moving and that was it...it felt so easy I brought him down so easily..."
"Uhh...Edd?" Kevin said in a worried tone
"Then I started laughing and hitting him again and again thinking that there was no possible way that he had died that easily..."
His voice became hoarse
"Then...they arrived and my parents didn't want me to go to jail so they got the judge to sent me there...and that was it."
Kevin then felt sorry for the poor guy
He was shaking, his masquerade broken
"Was it bad there?" Kevin asked
Edd then grabbed the edge of his work table
"Go home" he commanded sharply
"But—" Kevin protested
"I do not want to talk about this anymore!" Edd shouted angrily
Why was he so angry?
"Fine!" Kevin shouted back more out of confusion than anger
The redhead then got up and stormed out of the house
Edd stayed still grasping at that wooden table for the longest of times before getting up and walking into the bathroom and unlocking the medicine cabinet
Inside there were an array of pills but he only needed one kind
Anti depressants
Anti depressants
His fingers trailed over another kind which made him freeze
Ok maybe the two
Ritalin and anti depressants
His fingers then trailed over another type of pill that always made this feeling go away
Edd let out a shaky breath before grabbing all three pills and storming down into the kitchen where he pried a random fizzy drink out from deep within the cupboards then threw a reasonable amount from the three bottles inside before chugging it all down
The teenager kept his eyes pried shut for a while before opening them to find that the world was blurring anyway...
"Great" he spat before passing out.
...oOo...
(the next day)
Kevin walked into the classroom ready to play Edd's game
He went over to his seat and St. Down like a good marionette but then realised that Edd wasn't there
"Hey Eddy where's double dork?" he asked
The other boys face turned into an angry frown
"Very funny" he said in a dry and bitter tone, "you two are always together all the fucking time."
"I actually don't" Kevin said starting to get irritated
"Well you can ask anyone here and they'll tell you," Eddy said in a huffy tone before turning his attention to someone else
Kevin frowned before looking over at Nazz
"What's going on?" he asked her
She glanced at Ed before dragging Kevin out of the room
"look, last night Ed and Johnny went over to Edd's house and apparently he was passed out on his kitchen floor with a bunch of pills" she said in a low voice "they called the hospital and they flushed him out and Ed heard that apparently he had overdosed on some anti depressants and some other pills that he had been put on, you know anything about this?"
"No" Kevin outright lied as the guilt hit him
He had forced Edd to recall a time which was apparently hard for him and now he had gone and tried to kill himself?
This wasn't right
"I'm gonna go now" Kevin stated "cover for me? Thanks babe" he smiled before practically running back into the class, retrieving his bag then leaving a dazed Nazz behind
He was gonna fix this...or maybe make it worse.

Ok that's all you get ;D
i just realized how unfairly short my chapters are for this...sorry... i'll try to make them longer
also sorry if i get the names wrong but it's hard to differentiate Ed, Edd and eddy...mostly Ed and Eddy scince i haven't seen the show since i was a lot younger (but i still love them a lot!)
I'm gonna start writing the next chapter and I'll post it tomorrow...probably...unless I get distracted.
