It's the end of the line – Offspring, The End Of The Line
"Zzzzzzzzz…huh?" Eddy awoke. But not in the hospital. He found himself in a place filled with clouds. "Am I…" "No you aren't yet", came a voice. It was female. Eddy saw a figure. She was about his age and his height. She had brown hair and green eyes. "Who are you and where am I?" he asked. "My name is Ella," she told him, "This is where Heaven puts the people that may die." Eddy looked upset. "What's wrong?" she asked. Eddy looked at her, "I didn't die."
Ella stared at him in disbelief. "What are you talking about?" "Do you wanna know why I'm here?" Eddy said angrily. She nodded. "I want to die. You don't know just how bad my life was. My parents abused me, all the kids hated me and treated me like shit, and I could go on forever. I brought myself here. I took the gun and BAM! Right in the head!"
Ella was shocked. She didn't think anyone would ever really actually commit suicide. She had heard many people talked about it, but everyone she knew pulled through. She thought it was just a phase that would go away. "Whoa…I'm sorry." "It's not your fault," he said, "It's everyone else's." The two walked along the place they were in and talked together. "So why are you here?" Eddy asked her. "Car crash," she sighed. "My brothers have a good chance of living, my parents just have some broken bones, but they don't know about me. The asshole that crashed into us was drunk." Eddy looked at her with sorrow. "Well there is one good thing about that." "What?" she asked. "He can't remember what happened that night so he can't sue." She giggled. "You're pretty funny for someone that's suicidal." Eddy smiled. Maybe this place wouldn't be too bad after all.
Meanwhile, it's the next day. Visiting hours just started at the hospital. Everyone is there, including Kevin (but he's in a different room since Ed broke his nose). They are in Eddy's room with the doctor. "Excuse me doctor, but what are the chances of survival?" "Well Edward", the doctor sighed, "the results have come in. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much of a chance. He might make it, but the probability is that he won't make it. I thought you would prefer the truth." Double D looked at the doctor, tears forming in his eyes. "Thank you doctor." He walked towards the kids. "Attention everyone", he said. Everyone looked at him. Lately the kids in the cul-de-sac were treating him and Ed better since their friend may die. "What is it Bacon Man?" Ed asked, being his usual self. "What is it Double D?" Sarah asked. She had been acting odd lately. It was like she actually missed Eddy. "Well everyone, Eddy…well…the doctors say he probably won't make it," he said. "They are doing all they can, but he shows no signs of pulling through." The others looked shocked, guilty in a way. They had been there for hours during the past 2 days, and just to see that he probably won't make it?
"Visiting hours are over!" came over the intercom. Edd went into Eddy's room for a second. He wanted to talk to him. He read that if you talk to someone in a coma, they might here you. He walked into the room to find Sarah standing over Eddy, fear in her eyes. "You aren't someone I would expect in here", he said to her. She looked at him. Her face showed that she had been crying. "I just feel guilty. I did most of the taunting and bullying, so it feels like it's mostly my fault." Edd went to her side. "It isn't your fault." Sarah looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Well it isn't all your fault. We all did something to make him go to something this extreme. It is your fault, it is my fault, it is everyone in the cul-de-sac's fault. You can't just go blaming yourself. You…" "GET OUT! VISIING HOURS ARE CLOSED!" the manger screamed at them. They walked out, hoping for the best.
