Ed meets world Chapter 7: D, an ed, edd n eddy fanfic

While the group split up to go to their classes, Edd was joined by two other men.

The one guy, who was nicknamed 'Ghost' by his friends, was a shy, pale young man. His light-blonde, almost white hair and very light-blue eyes truly made him look like a spirit. The first time Edd saw him, he thought he was dreaming... that there was a spirit standing at his side... but this spirit was still alive, and in his class...

The other guy though, was totally different. He seemed to have endless energy, always doing stuff and talking about everything. Also, he didn't mind what people might think of him. He just did what he wanted to do and say what he wanted to say. His name was Denzell, Dell for short. He was tanned, toned and tall, and therefor very attractive for the girls. His dark-brown skin and black hair gave away his African background, but his eyes gave him a freaky look. He had greenish-gray eyes. The color of a sloth's fur, Ghost would say...

Those two were the total opposite to each other, but still were friends. The friendship with Edd was about the only thing they had in common.

While Dell was talking to Ghost about the use of anaesthetics in an emergency situation, Edd longed for the summer holiday. It was just a few weeks left before he could finally return to the Cul-de-Sac, and see his neighbours again. His cousin would come with him again, and they'd have a great summer. Stu didn't like rules very much, and so Edd could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Also, Stu had given him his childhood back, doing all of Edd's chores and eventually getting rid of all the sticky-notes, which were all over the place.

Stuart came to his house because of his mother. She'd asked her nephew to keep an eye on her son, ever since she and her husband weren't at home that much. And so Stuart came, and didn't leave. But Edd's parents did. He had asked Stu so many times why his parents didn't return home any more, but his cousin didn't answer. Not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have a clue, either.

Edd had waited every day for his parents to come home.

But days became weeks... weeks became months... months became years...

And Edd gave up...

When he finally realized that his father and mother might never return, his heart almost broke, but was held together by the love and care he got from Stu and his friends. Still, there was an empty space in his heart, and that'd always be there. He felt betrayed by his parents. He'd tried to be a good son for his whole life, doing everything they told his to do, and always being polite. Why did they leave him, then? What was the reason of this sudden disappearing? Didn't his parents care for him any longer? Did they ever care for him?

He'd asked these questions over and over to Stu, but he didn't knew it any more...

He didn't knew many things... not any longer...

Because he was hurt, too, and almost forgot what love was...

Until he suddenly had to love,

Charise,

Care...

For a boy that used to be his cousin,

But now became his son...

Special chapter introducing Ghost and Dell

I'd like to dedicate this chapter to GhostHelwig, the creator of Ghost, and the one which gave me more inspiration for the 2D - Double-D relationship :D
