A.N: WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS A MUST-READ WITH LOTS OF DIALOGUE AND INFORMATION ABOUT CHARACTERS AND BACKSTORY! A lot of info in this chapter! Certain character developments were thought up by DMan51, many thanks to him for the ideas and reviews! Also, the song that Edd was working on in the last chapter is actually a song I'm working on now. I might post a link to it when it is done, but that won't be for a while longer. Also, there is language used in this one, so you have been warned! Anyways, reviews are always appreciated, and onto the next chapter!
When I heard Jonny use my old nickname, I wondered what I should do. I thought about lying and saying that I didn't know what he was talking about, but I knew he would see through my lie. I didn't want someone to find out that I was back already, but I didn't know what to do. Oh well, if I would want anyone to find out I was back, it would be Jonny. I knew he could keep a secret.
With my reasoning, I sighed and replied, "Yes, Jonny. I'm…I'm back…" Jonny just stared at me like I was from another planet, and then I realized that he may go and tell everyone else, so I sprang off my bike and practically shouted "DON'T TELL ANYONE! Please. I'm not ready."
Jonny finally stopped looking at me like I was some alien creature, and then said with a voice a hell of a lot calmer than I would have expected, "You…you're back. Come on, I have a lot to tell you." With that, he started walking in the direction I was heading.
"Jonny, wait. Where are we going?"
"Heh, you remember my name. I thought I would have been the first you forgot about over here. Anyways, we're going to your place, aren't we?" I was shocked by what Jonny had said. I couldn't forget my old friends, and Jonny was actually the nicest one to me besides Ed after the whole incident that led to me being hated. Also, how did he know where I was going? How did he know I was me? I decided to ask him about it, fearing that I was far more recognizable than what I thought.
"Jonny, how did you know who I was? And where I was going?"
"I have my ways. What, did you really think it was Plank who told me the secrets and other information I had? And I thought you were the smart one…" Jonny's comment scared me a little, and I was just going to ignore that last comment. I walked with Jonny to my house and let him inside. I led him to my living room and we sat down across from each other so we could see each other easier. I didn't know what to say, but luckily Jonny started off.
"So, would you like to ask the questions, or should I?" I thought about it for a second, and decided to delay the news about the cul-de-sac.
"I think you should ask the questions you are curious about first, Jonny." I spoke, feeling a little fear about the questions I would eventually ask.
"Well, first thing's first, how have things been?" I was taken aback by what he had just asked. He didn't ask that question with malice, or in a snarky way, but was instead asking as a friend would, and I almost thought he was going to trick me, or make a joke, but I realized he was being honest.
"Uh, I…I've been…good?" I didn't know how to answer a question like that, and I saw how good of a question it was, asking what had happened to me in the past four years.
"Come on, Double D, you know what I mean by that. What have you done in the past four years? Tell me everything, and then I'll tell you everything you've missed over here." Jonny said after my crap answer.
"Alright, well, I left the cul-de-sac for New York, and I never looked back. That's why I never said anything to you guys about my leaving." I could see Jonny's face turn into intently listening and a face of disgust, for whatever reason. I continued.
"I didn't want to be back here and I was glad to leave. I moved to another school in New York and changed my nickname to Daniel, to get away from my past. I made friends and changed, physically and mentally. Oh, that reminds me, am I that easily recognizable?" Jonny looked at me for a second, then answered.
"No, now get back to the story."
"Alright, Jesus, you don't have to be pushy. Anyways, I've changed, and while I'm still smart, I break rules sometimes, but I always get away."
At this, Jonny smiled, and said, "You know, I always thought you would turn out to be a rule breaker. Funny, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess. How would you think I would be a rule breaker?"
"Well, you were always a goody two shoes, I thought you would either change, or have a massive outburst at some point in time. I felt that you couldn't hold in all of your anger, and I was expecting the outburst more than you changing, although, I think this one is better for you, especially where you are now."
"That's true. I still might have an outburst though, you never know. Alright, well after that I made my best friends and hung out with them a lot. I learned lots of new talents, like playing the guitar, making music on my computer, and I've become a good liar. My parents haven't changed much, and they still aren't home all that often." I paused and thought for a second before finishing off. "That's about all I think you would be interested in, I think."
"Why did you leave so fast, and without telling us?" Jonny asked quite abruptly.
"Um, well, it was because everyone turned on me. I thought you knew about that."
"Well, yeah, but why didn't you tell us?"
"I just…I didn't want to tell you guys. I didn't think that you would have cared at all. The only one who I feel bad about leaving is Ed, but I don't think any of you other guys would have cared about my leaving." I answered, remembering that time, and how sad I was.
"Hah, oh how wrong you are," Jonny said, and this both surprised and scared me.
"Oh, dare I ask what you mean?" I spoke to myself, but Jonny heard.
"Don't worry, you don't have to ask that question yet. I don't think that you'll like the answers." Now I was really scared.
"Um, so what about Plank? What happened to him?" I asked, delaying finding out what happened to my old friends.
"Eh, I threw him out. You know how I got bullied by everyone after I beat you guys up after the event with Eddy's brother, right?" I nodded my head. "Well, I was bullied for a while, and eventually they started picking on the fact that I had an imaginary friend, who wasn't so imaginary. Don't worry, I'll tell you that later. Anyways, I threw him out, but that didn't change the fact that I was bullied until…Nah. I'll tell you later."
"What do you mean by 'not so imaginary'?" I asked, once again delaying the inevitable.
"Well, don't think of me as crazy, but I can hear voices. Not in a schizophrenic way, but just random voices that say important information. That's how I knew you were Double D. Anyways, I used Plank as a physical object so I could have something that I thought the voices came from. So, that's why I had Plank in the first place."
"Hmm, interesting." I said, thinking about what Jonny had just told me. So that explains how he knew things that he shouldn't have…somewhat. I wondered whether I should ask the questions I was nervous about, and how much they would surprise me. I decided to ask about the person I thought would give me the most comfort that things hadn't changed all that much.
"What about Nazz?" I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. Even if I liked her in the past, these butterflies had nothing to do with elementary crushes. They had to do with the changes, and what has happened since I left. I don't know why I was scared and nervous, and then I remembered what Jonny had said earlier. "Oh how wrong you are." I was worried how much I had changed them because I had left. Wait, why am I worried? These asses hated me until I left. Who knows? I might enjoy these answers. But Jonny was right. Oh how wrong I was.
Jonny's face got serious when he heard her name, and simply said, "Oh, you will not like this answer," he said, almost in a whisper.
"Why won't I like this answer? Just tell me, ok? I want to hear about my former friends." With a sigh, Jonny went on to answer my questions.
"Ok, well, she's gone through a lot. She and Kevin dated for a couple years after you left, but then she found Kevin cheated on her, and she was pissed. Nazz took out everything she had and beat the crap out of Kevin. She has never spoken to him in a long time, and when she does, it's nothing nice. Anyways, she was wary of men after that, but a few months after her and Kevin broke up, her parents divorced. She's been really sad, and tends to be asses towards guys, but that doesn't stop guys from trying to get with her. She talks to a couple guys, but she doesn't seem to be interested in them. As you could probably imagine, she's head of the cheer team, and she has got a body to die for. In the end, she was sad for quite a few months, but now she's become, somewhat of her old self. She still gets angry at people, and she sure as hell isn't her innocent self, but her old self is still in her."
I sat in shock at what I had just heard. If this is who I thought wasn't gonna change much, WHAT THE FUCK HAS EVERYONE ELSE TURNED INTO?! I screamed mentally. I was honestly scared about how much everyone else had changed, and I started feeling a little queasy. I was unsure if I should have kept asking, or whether I should just have him stop right there.
"I told you you weren't gonna like the answer." Jonny was right. I couldn't believe what had happened to her. Our little cul-de-sac seemed perfect in its own way. The only problems were Ed, Eddy and I, and most of the time these were minor inconveniences to the children of the cul-de-sac. I had never thought about the bad that could enter our lives at some point. Now I was afraid to ask about everyone else. Instead, I asked the next question about her.
"How did she react when I left?"
"Well, she was scared for you. In fact, we all were. There were rumors going around that you had died, gone missing, got kidnapped, and other various theories. Nazz at first believed that you had died, and that's when another rumor was thrown out that you had…killed yourself…after what had happened. Nazz along with others felt guilty, and that's when some of us tried to figure out what had happened. We knocked at your door, but no one answered. We tried to call, and no one answered. We tried to find you everywhere, ask around, and find you online. Nothing. We never knew what happened to you, and never actually did find out. The rest of the cul-de-sac kids still don't know what happened to you, but now I know." When I heard this, I curled up into a ball, and thought about everything that he had just said. I could hardly handle it, and I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like throwing up right there, and I might have, but that's when I spoke up.
"Let me just sit here…for a few minutes." I was scared. I had never felt this scared in my life. Nothing could equate to what I was feeling at that moment. I realized another reason why I was so scared. I knew that I would have to face this all at some point. It was going to come out at some point, and when it did, there was probably going to be retribution. I knew that there was going to be hate towards me, for leaving so abruptly, and never telling anyone. I was scared for what they would do to me. I was scared for how much things had changed. I was scared of my future, and of my past. And they were both coming to haunt me, and to hurt me.
"You know Double D, if you want me to come back some other time, I can." Jonny said, breaking the silence.
"No, no, I want to know more." I replied as I swallowed the lump in my throat. I could honestly say that I had no idea at all what to expect, but I decided to power through it and hear what else had changed in the small town I thought I knew.
"Well, I should tell you about Eddy to make some of this story sound clearer. Do you actually know what he told the other kids, or do you just know some of the information?" Jonny spoke up, breaking the little silence. Now that he mentioned it, I never actually did find out exactly what lie he told everyone in the cul-de-sac. Not that I really cared, but I shook my head no.
"So, what he told everyone was that after the scams had stopped, you were the one who wanted to start them back up, and that it was your only way to make money to buy all the things you wanted. Eddy told us that you kept telling him to help with your schemes, and that you were the reason that the scams kept going. We trusted him, but now we know that we shouldn't have. After you left, he didn't have anyone to blame, so he tried to blame Ed. We eventually thought that it was a little fishy that he was blaming Ed now, and we found out that he was the one behind the recent scams." When I heard this, my fear turned into anger.
"Oh, so when Ed gets blamed for it, it's strange, but if I'M the one doing it, it seems perfectly fucking legit!" I spat out, standing up. My anger wasn't directed toward Jonny, but he still felt the need to defend himself.
"Edd, you know I didn't turn my back on you. Everyone still hated me at that point, so please don't get mad at me." I could see slight fear on Jonny's face, so I calmed his fears, but my anger was still burning.
"No, Jonny, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at every other bastard in the cul-de-sac. Well, besides Ed. He didn't do anything, and he was my only true friend in this goddamn area. Probably in this goddamn town. You know what," I said, as I sat back down on the couch. "Let me hear about everyone else. I don't care anymore. I'm not worried. They wanted me out, so I got out, and if they try to say they were sad, that's their own fucking fault. I'm done with them." I sat down, slouched on one arm of the couch with my arms crossed. Jonny was surprised by my sudden outburst, but he coughed and went on.
"Um, well, long story short, we didn't trust Eddy after that. Everyone felt guilty that we blamed you, but we still never found out where you ended up, so some of us felt sad, others guilty, and a few mad that you left so fast and without warning. After that whole ordeal, Eddy kept trying to scam us, but none of us fell for it. He eventually moved on to scam other places and other schools. He's gotten himself in trouble a lot, and he's gotten in trouble with the police on several occasions."
"Eh, I expected that. Fucker gets what he deserved. What does he look like?"
"He's still short and has gotten a little chubby. He smokes and skips school, and always gets in trouble. Everyone is still surprised that he hasn't been expelled yet."
"Do you think I could take him on?" Jonny seemed surprised by my question, but answered.
"Yeah, I think you could. Why?"
"Oh, just for later reference. Anyways, what happened with him after I left?"
"Well, he was confused and kept trying to find you. He didn't seem too upset, but he was more angry than sad. I think he's still angry with you, so I'd be careful if I were you."
"Oh, don't worry about me, Jonny. I'm a lot angrier than he is, believe me. Anyways, what happened with Ed?"
"Well, Ed hasn't changed that much, actually. He's gotten a lot taller, and he's about six seven, from what I would say. Anyways, he's gotten better with his schooling, somewhat. He helps Eddy with some scams, but he doesn't like to. He's grown out his hair a little bit longer, and has gotten over his fear of girls, but I'll tell you more about that later. Anyways, he was devastated when you left, and locked himself in his room for at least a week, maybe two. Anyways, he still misses you, but he seems to have gotten over it." After hearing about this, my heart changed moods yet again to one of joy and sadness. I was sad that I put Ed through what I did, but I was happy that he had gotten over his fear of girls, and it seems Jonny has a story for later. I can't wait to hear this one I thought to myself.
"So, what about everyone else? Jimmy, Sarah, Kevin, Rolf?" I asked, wondering about their stories.
"Well, sit back. This is going to be long. Rolf got older, but he has probably changed the least, although you probably won't find him anywhere here because he moved back with his family to his home country about a year ago. Rolf felt really guilty when he heard you were innocent, but when he was moving he didn't think too much back on that. Anyways, some of us keep in touch with him, and he says, he's glad to be back where he belongs. I have to say, I was happy for him."
"Jimmy and Sarah have become freshmen this year, and they seem to be doing well. They haven't gotten together like I thought they would have, but they are still really good friends. Jimmy has gotten his headgear off, and his teeth are surprisingly straight, and he is really fashionable, although he is kind of snobbish. He seems to be doing really well, and even though he has had several girls try to hit on him, he still seems to have a thing for Sarah."
"Sarah, on the other hand, has gotten a little less rough, especially with her brother. She has also become stylish thanks to Jimmy, and she has let her hair down the same as before. She's matured mentally, and had become less of an ass, frankly. She seems to be doing well off on her own, although some of us in the cul-de-sac are just waiting for her to notice that Jimmy is interested in her."
"Jimmy wasn't affected too badly when he heard that you left, although he was scared you had died. After a year of believing you had died, he started to believe that you had moved, although he still thinks you might be dead. Sarah on the other hand, well, she was an emotional wreck. You know that she liked you, but when she heard that you were planning the scams, she lost trust in you. Anyways, you left and she became angry at you, then heard you were innocent, and felt sad, guilty, mad at Eddy and you, and pretty much any emotion you could imagine, she was feeling it."
"Damn, I didn't think that I could affect people that bad…" I spoke softly, more to myself than to Jonny, but he caught it.
"I hate to tell you, Double D, but it gets worse."
"Aw, shit." I said, worrying about what was next.
"Kevin started dating Nazz after you left, and after he heard you left, he didn't care at all, considering he was tricked into thinking that you caused the scams. When he heard that you were innocent, he felt guilty for bullying you, and really wished he could take it back. Anyways, after about a year of dating, Kevin cheated on Nazz, and as you know, she beat him to the ground after that. He was seen as an ass throughout the entire high school, but eventually that passed over him, and he became a good football and baseball player. He gets attention from girls, but they still stay wary of him because of the whole incident with Nazz. Anyways, he's become really athletic, although not the best on football or baseball, as some of us expected. He still can be a jerk, but he's become less of one."
All of this information was a lot to take in, but there were others who I forgot to ask about. They were the ones who I had no idea about. Before I asked about them, I took on all the information that I had just been given. I was slightly nervous about the next question I was going to ask, but I asked anyways.
"What about…the Kankers?" Jonny's face got serious, and a little nervous before replying.
"Are you sure you want to hear about them now? I mean, you've gotten a lot of information already, I think you should just take it all in for now. I can tell you tomorrow." He started shuffling around, and looked like he wanted to get out of my house, but I wasn't going to let Jonny get away yet.
"It's that bad?" When I asked the question, Jonny just looked at me, a little guilty for some reason, and nodded his head. Oh, fuck. Do I really want to hear this? Is it worth it? I thought about the answer to my question, and decided to answer it going both directions.
"I'm gonna get some water and…think for a few minutes. I'll ask about them in a few minutes. You need anything Jonny?" I said as I stood up. He shook his head no, so I walked over to the kitchen, got my glass, and filled it with water. I only drank a sip, thinking over the changes I had missed while I was away. Then a very important question came into my head, and I was afraid to ask it.
"Jonny," I said as I poked my head around the corner to see him. "are the cul-de-sac kids still…together? Like a group of friends, or have they all split up?"
"They all kind of…went their own separate ways. Sure, some of us are still friends, but we're no longer the inseparable group of friends you left four years ago."
I said nothing and went back into the kitchen. Tears were trying to push their way out of my eyes. After I left, everyone broke apart. I couldn't have been the person to hold everyone together. I couldn't have been the person to start this all. Everything has changed. Why did it all go wrong? Why did I have to be back? As I thought of these questions my hands had become shaky, and I had to put down the glass of water so that I wouldn't spill it. I slid down the cabinet door and sat down with my knees pulled up to my chest. I rested my head on my knees, and sat there, wondering and asking about my horrible predicament. I didn't want to come back in the first place, and now, I really didn't want to be back.
After a couple minutes thinking to myself, Jonny walked in, and said, "You know Double D, I really think I should tell you tomorrow, or some other day."
"No, Jonny. I'd rather have it all hit me at once than to have it sprinkled throughout the entire week." My voice was shaky as I said this, and it sounded quite obvious that I had started to cry. I never thought that everything would change as much as it had. This small town that I had lived in, had memories in, and made friends in, had become corrupted, and was ripped apart from the inside.
"Well, when you're ready come back out here. I really think you're going to regret hearing this, though. I really want you to prepare yourself." I took Jonnys warning, and sat in the kitchen for a few more minutes to calm myself before I went back out and sat back down on the couch. I was ready to hear what was apparently the worst news.
"Are you sure? You can seriously take some time if you nee-"
"Don't worry, Jonny. I want this to be over with. Please, just tell me so I know what to expect when I go to school after the break." I knew that I probably was going to regret this, and I tried to get myself ready for after he left and I would be alone with my thoughts. I just wanted to get everything over with so I could be done with it.
"Well, I guess I should start with the good news first. I'm guessing you want to delay the bad stuff, so I'll move on. Anyways, May has been the only one of the Kanker sisters to take a good turn. She has grown up, although she is the shortest of the Kankers. She is a really fast runner, and has actually gotten an athletic scholarship already. She is a better sprinter than anything, and we actually call her the 'Blitz Bunny' because of how fast she is. She's gotten a scholarship already, and from what I've heard, schools are competing for her."
"She's gotten pretty cute, and guys are crowding around her. She's become a good friend to a lot of people, and to almost everyone in the cul-de-sac except Eddy. Also, there's some news I think you would like to hear about her. She and Ed have become friends. Once Ed got over his fear of girls was around the time May stopped chasing after Ed, and they hit it off at some point. Ed got her interested in comics and scary stories, movies, and other things of the sort. I think May is wanting to go out with Ed, and she keeps trying to drop hints, but you know Ed. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Ed is actually trying to become an artist for comic books, and I have to say, he's really good!" My heart jumped up at this news. I was so glad for Ed and how he and May hit it off, and now Ed was becoming an artist! These were the changes I wanted to happen here, not everything else. But as soon as my heart was lifted, the pit in my stomach reformed, knowing that there were two more sisters to hear about.
"Alright, that's…awesome. I'm really proud for Ed, but what about the other two?"
"I'll talk about Lee, I guess. She's gotten a little worse, and even though she's a senior, she won't stop bugging Eddy. I'm not sure if she still likes him or not, but she keeps pestering him, messing with him, pranking him, and embarrassing him. He gets annoyed to no end, but that doesn't stop her. She wears her hair back now, and you can see her eyes, but she still has a reputation for being tough. I don't mind that much, she only picks on Eddy." A small silence filled the room, and I could tell he was done talking about Lee. I was hesitant, but finally asked about Marie.
"What about Marie? What happened after I left?"
"Are you sure you want to hear about her? I mean, you can take som-"
"No, Jesus, Jonny, just tell me. I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
"Alright," he said with a sigh. "Marie has definitely…changed. She's been really bad, Double D. After you left, she was found crying. People made fun of her, a Kanker crying, and that just made the situation even worse. After a month or two of being depressed, she snapped. It was as if her whole mind just changed all at once. She beat down some kid at school for making fun of her so bad that the kid had to get stitches. After that she's been the schools worst bully. She gets in trouble a lot, and everyone is intimidated by her. Another thing that's made it worse was May. While Marie was proud of her and her achievements, she felt like nothing compared to her sister. She just seems so, I don't know, different. And in a bad way. Anyways, guys like her for her looks, but they can't actually get with her. I mean, she's been on 'dates,' but nothing that I would actually consider dating. Either way, she's a lot worse than when you left. She misses you, and I think she still does, Double D. That's about all that I can tell you, but if you want me to stay around some more I can." I thought about it for a minute, but eventually replied.
"No, Jonny, you can go if you want. Just please don't tell anyone. I still don't want to be noticed. Thanks man, I appreciate you coming over."
"No problem. I still can't believe you're back, I guess it hasn't hit me yet. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, I promise." He says as he gets up from the chair he was in.
"Well, I know I can trust you. That's why I let you in my house and told you that I was who I am." I got up and led him to the door, and he walked away. I closed the door, and walked in shock at everything I had just been told. I had felt every emotion I could have in that amount of time. I couldn't believe that Marie actually liked me. I wasn't surprised that Ed had been devastated when I left, but Marie? I didn't know she liked me at all, I always thought she was just messing with me, and had fun bullying me, making me uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"I had no idea…" I spoke in a small voice to myself. "…that so much would change." I went into my bedroom and sat on my bed, thinking and processing everything I had been told. All of this news surprised me, and everyone who I thought wouldn't change had, and in a catastrophic way. Well, Nazz and Kevin aren't together like you had hoped, I thought, and chuckled to myself. I sat there and thought about how everyone was, but I kept coming back to Marie. I felt bad for her, and how I didn't know that she cared for me. I got out my iPod and put the earbuds in my ears and looked for a particular song. I found it, and played it. It was Sub. Sound-Start Again, and it was the perfect song for what I was feeling.
I wake up looking in the mirror,
Wondering who is looking back.
I'm so lost with myself,
I just can't understand.
I say one thing and then do another,
My life is set without a plan.
If only I could live for the future,
Instead of living in the now.
Woa-a-ah, let's go back,
And try and do it right.
Who said we can't,
Let's make the time to work it out.
I know that I can do better with the help from someone who knows
Just what went wrong
.
.
.
Let's start again.
These words were exactly what was going on through my head, and I thought about all of the bad things that had happened since I left. I wish I could go back to when everyone was still friends and when everyone was doing fine. Everything changed since I was gone. Everything changed for the worse.
My innocence has left me blind,
Blind from what is right
And now I've fallen in a state of mind
If only this is something I could fight
I try my best to put things right
But it's easier said than done
I need to reconstruct my mind
Start again and put the pieces back to one
Woa-a-ah, let's go back,
And try to do things right
Who said we can't
Let's make the time to work it out
I know that I can do it better with the help from someone who knows
Just what went wrong
Let's start again.
As much as I would love to start again, it's impossible. As much as I would love things to go back to normal, it's impossible. This isn't a fairy tale, and this isn't something that can just magically go back to normal. This is my past, my present, and my future, all in one. I was afraid for the future, and as I thought of all of this, tears formed in my eyes and rolled down the side of my face. This wasn't helped when the next song came on. It was Oskar Schuster-Fjarlægur. It was a beautiful song, and with no lyrics, it gave me time to think and feel everything. I knew that these next few months were going to be hell, and while I had tried to ignore my past, I was now right in the middle of it.
I had thought that when I entered back into Peach Creek that I wouldn't care about everyone else who I was once friends with. Now, they were the only people I could think about. Oh, how I wished I could change things. How I wish I could just leave this place and go back to New York. How I wish I hadn't heard about everyone here. How I wish I could go back to being so innocent and naïve. Oh, how I wish.
I sat there for the next hour, thinking and stewing over everything that had been told to me. Things had changed. I had changed. Everyone and everything had changed. How could I go back and not expect things to be different? Oh, how foolish of me. I had felt about every feeling there was today, and I couldn't take much more. I cried, and eventually stopped, but I was tired, and fell asleep. I awoke two hours later, and resumed with my normal daily tasks, but I could never get everyone out of my head. As I went to sleep, I now knew how everyone had changed. As I fell asleep for the night, one line from the song entered my head.
Let's start again…
