Disclaimer: I most definitely do not own the Ed's.
A/N: Ok so this is the conclusion of this story, I can't keep the title the same and continue this. So i will be making a sequel to this story please stay tuned for it.
(Edd's POV)
"Let's see here. I've packed sufficient toiletries, I've got enough clothes to last me a week or so. The money that I have has been all transferred over to my checking account. Is there anything else that I may be forgetting?" have to make sure I'm all ready and packed for the road trip and I find speaking out loud helps me with that. Ed was able to go and Eddy even said he'd come along too. I wonder what he thinks of me now; he didn't really stay to talk after the whole incident two days ago. I let out a deep sigh as I stare out my window. It really is a rather nice day, too bad I can't bring myself to go out and enjoy it.
"Hey babe." And that's the reason why. Kevin rides up next to Nazz on his bike. She giggles and continues on her way making small talk with her boyfriend. Seems she just kind of shrugged off the dispute the other day, suppose I don't blame her though. I mean who really wants to be single.
"Hey double-D, Eddy said he'd be here soon." I turn and see my tall friend sporting his average attire of the old green jacket, red and white striped shirt, and jeans. Guess I haven't changed my style much either since a kid, still same red shirt, long socks, purple shorts. Eddy changed his style up a bit, mainly cause he hit his growth spurt, he's still shorter then me but much taller then before. Eddy usually wears clothes quite similar to his old style, but he occasionally changes it up now and again.
"Thank you Ed, are you all packed and ready to go?" he nods his head excitedly; I suppose I'll have to take his word for it. "Good, I'd like to leave by twelve thirty." I glance at the clock, twelve fifteen. I look back to my friend and give a disappointed look. "Never mind, Eddy takes forever to get ready."
"So where are we going anyways?" I haven't really thought much about it, I just wanted to get out. Really should have made a plan, too late now though everything is already in motion.
"Not sure Ed lets just head south until we find something of interest." Then again the three of us all have different ideas of interesting. I would love to visit a museum or library of science. Ed would like to visit… well I think he'd love to go to a movie set or a comic book store. As for Eddy, he would be up for just about anything other then learning or comic books.
"And what about money? I couldn't get much, but Mom gave me some money for food and stuff." Well I've saved up quite a bit of cash over the years and I wasn't using it for anything anyways. As for Eddy I'm not sure, he may have accomplished in some scams and saved up a little bit of it but I'm not sure.
"Well I have about fifteen hundred in the bank, which should last us a little bit. And when we start to run out we can head back." I look through the suitcase I've packed glancing up at my friend every so often, he seems uncomfortable. "Is something bothering you Ed?"
"Well just one thing. What happened that made you stay home for a whole week?" wow I never would have thought for him to actually remember that. I mean I was starting to kind of move on from that. Then again he wasn't there for the whole argument with Kevin so he doesn't really have something to replace that worry.
How should I put this, I mean I was depressed right? Or was I scared to face Kevin? "I'm not really sure why I stayed home that whole time Ed." I mutter sitting on my bed, soon after I feel the mattress shift from the weight of my friend sitting next to me.
"Why didn't you come over at all?" he queries looking over to me with confusion and worry. I really could have gone over to be with him; at least he would have comforted me. Maybe I just wanted to wallow in self pity, but that sounds so stupid.
"You remember that party after graduation right?" I start twiddling my thumbs out of nervousness. I started to do this as a little kid when I had to explain to my parents if I broke something or messed up the house.
"Yeah I remember that, Kevin managed to get some booze for it. Why?" now comes the part that sort of confuses me, for many reasons. First being why did I choose Kevin? I mean statistically the odds of him being gay are somewhere around only twenty percent. So even falling for him was my first mistake.
"Yeah he did, and he got drunk. So while he was drunk I had a chat with him." now comes the second mistake I made, I engaged in risky conversation with someone in an unpredictable state. "While everyone else was having fun I told Kevin about how I liked him." Ed's features seem to sink and his shoulder's slouch; I obviously hit a sore spot. "Don't worry Ed he acted quite… improper. So I'd rather not be with him or even in the general vicinity of him."
"And what about me?" I look down at my hands once more trying to avoid the awkward feelings rising inside my gut. "Do you like me or not?" I can't do this now, and luckily I don't have to. The door bell rings and I stand up excusing myself to answer it. As I open the wooden barrier I see none other then Eddy on my step. He has decided today to wear a red Hawaiian tee and beige shorts, sporting himself a pair of cool guy sunglasses. He is what looks like the epiphany of a tourist.
"Hey sock head it's been too long, where have ya been? I mean other then being chased through the neighborhood." Good old Eddy, able to put a light spin on the dark.
(Ed's POV)
He's so smart and great, how can I be a good match for him? Well I'll just have to figure that out. Standing up I rush downstairs as I hear Eddy finish his sentence. "…through the neighborhood."
"Hey Eddy! This is gonna be fun isn't it?" I exclaim running up and hugging my two best friends. "I can't wait to see all the things that we are going to see!" this has just gotta be fun!
