Chapter 14
Several days later after being released from hospital with the condition Edd went to a therapist 3 times a week.
It was finally the day Edd would put the house up for sale and find an apartment.
"What about this one?"
James and Edd weren't together anymore but he still wanted to help Edd find a place for the man he cared for.
"Nah, Edd needs something cleaner. I heard that place had roaches."
Kevin of course came to keep James's hands away from his raven haired prince.
"Oh, god that sounds disgusting."
Edd covered his mouth and held his stomach as if he were sick.
"Okay, the only ones that I know are 100% clean are the most expensive in Peach Creek. These ones."
James pointed to brick apartments with red doors and two floors.
"Oh my they look amazing!"
Edd eyed the page excited.
"Lets go check them out!"
Kevin stood to his feet and lifted Edd into the air.
James followed them to Edd's mustang and sat in the back seat quiet.
'Fuck this hurts. Why am I doing this to myself? Does Edd even still have feelings for me?'
James thought to himself as they drove.
He heard the voices of the lovers, but could only sit quietly hoping Edd wouldn't notice his distressed look.
"James?"
"We're here dude."
James got out of the car and walked to the main office.
James was ahead of the lovers by at least a moment because Edd had to grab some papers from the car.
"Fuck!"
James turned and walked to Kevin quickly.
"Kevin, can I speak to you a moment?"
"Yeah?"
Kevin was confused as he walked towards the office and notice the landlord.
"Oh, no. hell no!"
Kevin tried to turn away before she noticed him.
"Kevin?"
It was the tattooed woman.
Kevin ignored her.
"How are you-"
James placed hisself in front of her as she went to walk to Kevin.
"No."
James said seriously.
Edd walked towards them looking towards the ground.
"I'm hear to apply for an apartment, do you know where the building manager is?"
Edd didn't make eye contact.
"I'm her."
She lead him to her desk and they sat down and began his application process.
"Kevin, go to the car and wait. Stay there no matter what. If you have to piss pee in a fucking bottle."
James pointed the Kevin and glared.
"Man I wanna help to-"
Kevin tried.
"You don't need to get involved when the woman you were fooling around with behind his back! Go fucking sit!"
James pushed Kevin making him stumble.
"Fuck you dude!"
Kevin pushed back.
James grabbed Kevin's arm and turned it in an uncomfortable position to restrain him.
"Sit down, Kevin."
James opened the car door and let go of Kevin.
"We will settle this later."
James walked away from Kevin's words ignoring him.
…..
"So, Eddward rent and power is included, it'll cost you $750 a month."
The tattooed woman wasn't effected by who Edd was. She didn't even seem to care she had ruined Edd's relationship.
"That is quite a bit of cash."
James stood behind Edd glancing at the paper work.
"How much are two bedroom apartments?"
James asked confusing Edd.
"Well, the only one we have open is actually $1000 a month. Do you want to see both units?"
"N-"
"Yes"
James interrupted Edd.
On the way to the first unit Edd questioned James.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to help you out."
"But, you have a home-"
Edd tried interrupted by James once again.
"The house is being condemned because of some legal issues my father had."
Edd's eyes widened.
"Oh. Well, if you need help I will assist."
They reached the two bedroom unit and noticed it was amazing.
"Wow, Edd this place is awesome."
Edd nodded mouth open.
The kitchen had marble counter tops and black cabinets, U-shaped. The living room had cherry wood panel flooring with a strange shade of blue on walls.
The bathroom had wonderful hammock tub with the same cabinets and counter tops as the kitchen.
The bedrooms were very large and across the hall from one another and the other bathroom that was upstairs in-between the bedrooms.
The bedroom were directly across from each other and the bathroom was directly down the hall.
The laundry rooms were in a separate building though for all to use.
"We want it."
Edd said quickly and signed the papers and put his first payment down on it.
…...
"Wait, wait. James is going to live with you?"
Kevin was angry.
"I just need help paying and his house is being condemned. I was only helping him, Kevin. I swear."
Edd was packing his belongings in a box.
"Whatever, We'll talk later. I got to go to work."
Kevin began working at the bar James sings at.
"Love you."
Kevin kissed Edd's forehead and walked out the door.
…...
James was excited to live with Edd.
Yes, the people at the bank were taking the house but he would be able to be near the one he loves all the time.
"I'm so fucking ready!"
James lifted his hands in the air and fell onto his bed resting his eyes and snuggling into his back comforter.
Tomorrow, James and Edd would be moving in together in an amazing place.
Perfect.
