Me: This chapter begins after school.


Andie was walking with Edd to her house for a study date.

"So, I was thinking that, after we're done studying, that maybe we could go to dinner or something," She said.

"S-sure," Edd said.

"Any idea where to go?" Andie asked.

"Um, w-well, t-there is this resturant nearby," Edd said.

"Okay, cool," Andie said. She slipped her hand into Edd's and smiled. Andie felt safe when she was with Edd. She felt happier with him by her side, "You're awesome, love."

"Um, t-thank you," Edd smiled. Andie looked at Edd and smiled nervously.

"There's something that I need to t-tell you," she said.

"Yes?" Edd asked. Andie stopped and looked up at Edd.

"I-I-I'm p-pregnant," She said nervously.

"Oh, congratulations," Edd smiled.

"I'm so sorry for- wait, what?" Andie asked, confused, "You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad?" Edd asked.

"My dad said that if I ever get pregnant, he would kill me," Andie said, "I guess I was expecting a lot of swearing." Andie smiled and kissed Edd's cheek, "At least I know you're different, and a good different."

"Well, that's not very nice," Edd frowned.

"We moved here because he was very abusive," Andie cried. "He hit me and my mom."

"That's horrible!" Edd gasped.

"He took drugs, so I don't blame him," Andie shrugged, "But he's still in my nightmares." Andie hugged Edd and started to cry, "My dad was so mad the day I went gothic."

"It's ok, now," Edd said. Andie buried her face in Edd's shirt.

"My dad, just the thought of him brings me to terrified tears," She said.

"Put him out of your mind," Edd soothed, "He can't hurt you now. Andie sighed.

"I-I guess you're right," She said. She looked up at Edd and her eye makeup was running down her face.

"Yes, I also lost my father when I was young," Edd sighed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Andie said. "Edd, can I just be honest with you?"

"Yes," Edd nodded.

"W-well, when I first saw you on the curb, I immediately felt safe, and I wasn't scared," Andie said, "I was so sad that my friends had to stay in the UK, but when you came over, I-I j-just started to feel like a mouse in a cheese factory."

"Thank you," Edd blushed and smiled.

"You'll never leave me right?" Andie asked.

"Never," Edd smiled. Andie blushed and smiled. Then she sneak attacked Edd and kissed him on his lips again. She hugged him hard too. Edd blushed and wiggled.

"M-my apoligies, Andie, but due to Marie seeking after me all these years, I-I'm still a bit sensitive," Edd said.

"That's okay, I'm not like Marie whatsoever," Andie said, "But whenever she's around, we'll have to act like we're not, y'know, together."

"Yes, we shall," Edd sighed. Andie frowned.

"Hey, look at the bright side," She said, "We only see the Kankers at school."

"Most of the time," Edd said, "They will venture into the cul-de-sac searching for my friends and I." Suddenly, Ed ran by being chased by May.

"Oh Big Ed!" May called. Andie winked at Edd.

"Showtime," She whispered, "I have to warn you though, I'm a pretty good actress. So just telling you now that it's not real and I'll still love you."

"Get AWAY from me!" Eddy yelled at Lee. Brandon already had a panicking Bella in his grasp. Marie popped up behind Edd.

"Hey, dreamboat," Marie smirked.

"Oh, h-hello, M-Marie," Edd said. Andie glared at Edd and crossed her arms.

"He's all yours, I was just asking him a question," Andie said, "Goodbye, Edd." Andie walked into her house and slammed the door.

"Whatever," Marie shrugged and grinned. She wrapped her arms around Edd, pinning his arms to his sides.

"Marie, please let me go home. I have a lot of homework to do," Edd said.

"Ah, you can do it later in, like, half-an-hour," Marie said, "I know how brainy you are."

"He IS a nerd," Brandon said. He was sitting on the slide, Bella on his lap, and holding her legs down with his. He was holding her by the wrists as she was trying to get away.

(Bella's POV)

Eddy growled and stormed over to Brandon.

"Fuck my lady," He said.

"Gladly," Brandon smirked.

"Eddy!" I yelled. Eddy grabbed Brandon by his collar.

"I said fuck off my lady, damn it," Eddy growled.

"Punch in the face!" Brandon yelled, punching Eddy. He laughed.

"GO TO HELL!" Eddy yelled, kicking Brandon in the dork. Brandon's legs loosened and I scrambled off his lap. Eddy grabbed my hand and ran toward my house.

"Open the door, Bell. Our lives depend on it," Eddy said.

"It's not really locked, y'know," I said, opening the door and locking it behind us.

"Oohh," Eddy said, "What now?"

"What's going on?" Papa walked over, "Is it that Brandon again?"

"Si," I said.

"Luckily, I helped her out of his grasp," Eddy said.

"Ok," Papa sighed and walked outside. I saw Brandon pale. Andie came out of her house and leaned on the doorframe.

"Edd, you like your little girlfriend?" She teased.

"ED DOES NOT!" Ed cried, running away from May. She tackled him to the ground.

"Sorry Ed, I meant Double D!" Andie called.

"Nor do I," Edd said, trying to escape from Marie's grasp. Papa walked over and Marie paled.

"M-Mr. Valastro," Marie laughed nervously, letting go of Edd. She saw Brandon standing nervously behind him. Andie laughed.

"SHADOW, POP SOME POPCORN! THINGS ARE GETTING GOOD!" Andie shouted into her house. She turned around and gave Edd a wicked glare.
