People wanted another chapter, well I finally came up with an idea. This chapter's really short, but the end to it all. Enjoy!

Keep in mind this chapter that Sarah went off to boarding school, I had no where to put that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy

"It's all a dream, right Eddy? A bad, horrible dream, and we'll wake up soon?"

Eddy wanted to tell his tear-stricken lover that yes, it was all a nightmare. In his heart, he wanted it just as badly as Double D. Willing to sacrafice their love for the old childish innocence the cul-de-sac had possessed years ago. But things just didn't work that way. And they were about to get worse.

"Double D, it's not a dream!! Ed's gone, he drowned in the river, he's not coming back!" Shocked by his own words, he bit his lip and held back tears as Edd sobbed harder now, leaning on Eddy's shoulder. He spoke again, this time softly. "He's gone. Just like Kevin and Jimmy. It was an accident, life is harsh that way. Time heals all, Double D."

"As long as I have you by my side, it's not as bad," he replied sweetly, his voice cracking a little. The shorter teen bit into his bottom lip harder, he could taste the blood filling his mouth. Finally, he too broke out in tears.

"Double D..." his voice faded, there was something in his voice that made his lover look at him with fear in his eyes. Eddy could hear his heart beat faster. Hell, he could hear his own heart beat faster. He never wanted to say anything to hurt Double D, but he had to say it. "Double D, I'm... moving. Away. Far away."

Edd's eyes grew wide with pain, it was like being stabbed my a million needles in a million places for a million lifetimes. "My family doesn't like it here anymore. They say it's too gloomy, they want change. I'm sorry, my love."

"When do you leave?" asked Edd, trying to stay calm.

"Actually, I came to say good-bye." He kissed his lover softly on the lips, and brushed his hand behind Edd's ear, looking into his eyes one last time. Without a word, he left.

Leaving Double D with all the pains and sorrows and memories of the cul-de-sac, alone.
