AN: Last short chapter. Should have just waited and put the last three all together for one big chapter instead of three small ones. Now with the Romance stuff out of the way for a minute I can start writing about Edd and his Parents. Hope that turns out okay. Thanks for reading!

The two sat in the attic for some time. Neither not really saying a thing. Just enjoying the rain and the others company. The rain and wind outside was picking up quite a bit. It wasn't until Marie got hungry that they went back downstairs. As Marie had promised she made Ramen for the two of them. There was a note on the dinning room table from Marie's mother. Apparently she had to run out somewhere for work and would be back later.

"Jesus", Edd heard Marie say from the kitchen. He walked in to see her looking out the window. The rain was coming down so hard it was almost impossible to see anything. But there was very clearly a small tree almost getting ripped from the ground by the wind. "There was no storm warning or anything was there? How could they miss something like this"?

"The news said it was supposed to be in the high 80s all weekend. Peach Creek has always had odd weather though. Nothing to strange about the weatherman not being able to predict this". Beep Beep! Their Ramen was done. The pair wen up to Marie's bedroom to eat them.

The rain and wind outside continued to get worse. Marie went over to the glass door that lead out to her balcony to get a better look. Almost immediately as she looked out one of the chairs she had out there flew into the door, leaving a huge crack. The impact came so suddenly that Marie fell backwards and bashed her head on corner of her bed.

"Damn it!", she screamed. Edd saw the blood spread all over the bed where she hit her head. It was no secret that he wasn't comfortable around blood. However, seeing the sheer amount of it had him to worried not to do something. He lifted up Marie's head and tried to find the cut and how big and deep it looked. The cut went from the very top of her head to about midway down her neck. It was big, but it didn't seem to be seriously deep. Nothing that would require surgery, stitches, or anything of the sort. Which was a huge relief. The storm outside would prevent them from getting anywhere. She was loosing a lot of blood, he needed to get it cleaned and bandaged. And fast. He looked around at what was in her room. He grabbed a shirt out of a large pile.

"Marie, hold this hard against your head alright. I'll be right back". Edd ran downstairs to find something, anything that he could use to clean and bandage the cut. He found an ice pack in the freezer, and some peroxide in the bathroom. Having no other option he also grabbed a roll of toilet paper. It was all he had to bandage Marie's head with.

Marie was sitting against her bed. One hand holding the shirt against her cut and the other eating her bowl of Ramen.

"Alright Marie, I found some stuff and should be able to patch you up and," Edd stopped. "Are you eating my Ramen"?

"Losing a lot of blood her Double D". She was right. The shirt was soaked in it. He knelt down next to her and removed the shirt.

"This is going to sting. Lower your head please.", Edd poured the peroxide over her head. She kicked her feet up and down and the stinging. He blew on it to relieve some of the burning and patted her head down with a large wad of toilet paper and proceeded to bandage it as best he could. Toilet paper was probably the last thing he would want to use for this. Not having options was awful. After using about 80% of the roll, he stopped. "I did my best. Hope it stays".

"Hope it stays? Wrong choice of words Double D. Couldn't just say it'll hold and you'll be fine? Man, I'm lightheaded".

"Do you have any orange juice"?

"Orange, no. Apple, yes". Edd went to retrieve some apple juice for Marie. On his way back up the stairs the power shut off and he fell. He sighed. Luckily he had a small flashlight on his key chain and safely made it back to Marie's room. He gave her the drink. Marie felt a lot better after drinking it. Still very lightheaded though. The storm outside didn't look to be letting up anytime soon. Even if it did Edd wouldn't leave Marie by herself while she was in this condition. He helped her onto her bed so she could rest. She decided she was going to use Edd as her pillow. "Double D, don't you know when a girl does this you're supposed to put your arm around her"?

"Um. I'd rather. You should get some sleep." he managed to stutter out. While he was closer with Marie then he had ever been with a girl, she was still a girl. And he never did this sort of thing with one before. So obviously he got a bit nervous. But Marie wasn't going to except that. "Fine. I'll do it myself.", she said as she grabbed Edd's arm and wrapped it around herself. "See. Much better". He had to admit, it was pretty nice. "Oh! You should also play with my hair. Not the nasty bloody part, but the cute soft part in the front".

"Marie",

"I'm injured and you have to do what I say"! Scared, Edd obeyed the order and combed his hand through the part of Marie's hair he didn't bandage up. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep, and shortly after, for Edd too.

The nap didn't last long and Edd was soon up making his way out of Marie's bed, trying his best not to wake her. He looked out the window and saw the storm had for the most part passed on. Some light rain but nothing major. He saw that Diana's car was in the driveway. She must have gotten home after the front of the storm hit. Which means she probably saw him and Marie in bed together...

He made his way downstairs to see Diana again working on something on the dinning room table. She saw him and smiled.

"Hey Eddward, bout time right"! Edd glew red at her remark and what it was that she was implying. He informed Diana what had happened with Marie falling and bashing her head and how he cleaned it and that long as she rests and keeps her head elevated she should be fine. She prompted to hug him afterwords, which made him rather uncomfortable. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter.", she said to him. She sounded very sincere. A depart from the usual sarcastic tone she shared with Marie.
