Edd was extremely mad at Eddy. There was nothing wrong with Scarlette. She was sweet, and beautiful. So, she had some bad habits. Edd could work with that. He really liked her. With that thought, Edd decided to take a trip to Scarlette's house. It was defiantly out of the way, but he needed to see her.

She lived about a mile from the cul-de-sac, but he was sure he could make it there in about 10-15 minutes, and he did. He knew her parents would be asleep, heck, it was 11 o'clock! He decided to go around back and go to her window. Her bedroom was in the basement, and she had a giant e-grass window that was always unlocked. Seeing her lights on through the curtains, Double-D opened the window and jumped in, landing with a soft thud. He looked up to see nobody, and then he heard the shower going. She must be in there. Familiar with her house layout, Edd walked through her open bedroom door and walked down the short hallway to the bathroom door, which was closed. Still only hearing the water, Edd opened the door.

There was his girlfriend in the shower, and through her glass door, he could see a male figure in there with her. He heard a giggle, and if the blue hair didn't give her away, her laugh sure did. Eddward was shocked. He couldn't believe what he saw, and he didn't want to see it anymore. He turned around quickly, went back into her room, and out her window. If he was mad before, he was furious now. The one person he thought really cared for him, was fornicating with some unknown guy in her shower!

Before he knew it, he ended back up at Eddy's house. He walked to the back and went in quickly retreating to Eddy's basement sanctuary, where Edd could already smell the marijuana. Making his way through the smoke, Edd reached his destination. And sure enough, there was Ed and Eddy smoking and drinking.

"I thought it was bedtime dork?" Eddy sarcastically questioned.

Edd completely ignored the short Eddy and grabbed the bottle of Gentleman's Jack from the table and took a larger than life swig. It burned, but he at the moment, pain felt better than anything. He took another large swig before asking Eddy to give him a hit from the pipe.

"Whoa Ed! Look who decided to join the party! Looks like sock head here isn't too good for us anymore. Something happen with your precious slut of a girlfriend you call Scarlette?"

The words pained Edd, but he knew they were right. She was cheating on him, she couldn't care less. He took another drink before Eddy handed him the pipe demonstrating how to use it. That was Edd's first hit of weed, and at first, he hated it. It was completely awful and he felt like he was choking, but 3 bowls later, he was hittin it like a pro.

"She cheated on me. I caught her in the shower with another guy." Edd looked like he was going to cry. Eddy decided the best way to help his friend, was to make him forget the pain, so he handed Edd a bottle of rum and started to roll him a blunt.

"I told you Edd, she was a piece of shit. I told you!" Eddy was proud that he was right for once instead of Mr. Brainiach over there drowning his sorrows in weed and alcohol.

"I need to go home Eddy. I'm going to actually walk home, but I'm bringing this with me!" He said as he grabbed the full bottle of rum.

"Here sock head, you need it more than I do." Eddy handed him his bag of weed, and about 10 papers. In other words, he gave him the rest of everything, and that made Edd feel cared for.

"Thanks Eddy." Edd smiled an intoxicated smile his way and turned around to leave. He stumbled his way up the stairs, and to Eddy's back door relatively silent, and started to make his way home. He only lived about 8 houses away, so he wasn't worried about anyone seeing him carrying alcohol and pot. He didn't expect to see Kevin on his front porch smoking a cigarette either though.

Kevin caught a glimpse of head stumbling to his house, a bottle in one hand, and he wasn't too sure what was in the other. He watched as Edd stumbled through his front door and into his house, completely leaving the front door open. Great, what was going on with the dork? Kevin stood up from the step and started walking across the street to Edd's house, cig still in hand. Before he even hit the door, he got a great whiff of pot. What the hell? Kevin continued to walk in and closed the door. There he found Edd laying on his couch, one hand behind his head, the other holding a joint to his lips.

"What the hell are you doing Double-Dweeb?! Since when do you smoke?"

Edd sat up and looked over to see the redheaded jock standing over the couch. He was shirtless, and wearing only his red hat backwards, and red basketball shorts, which seemed to not be being held up by any boxers. He looked…good. He had grown up to be quite handsome.

"I am numbing myself Kevin. With alcohol and marijuana. It seems to be doing the trick nicely."

Kevin was so shocked with the answer Edd had given him. He watched as Edd took a large swig from the 3 quarter full bottle of rum.

"Since about, hmmmm maybe 45 minutes ago."

That wasn't in the least bit what Kevin was expecting. He walked over to Edd's couch and took a seat next to the now crossfaded nerd. Eddward looked up to see Kevin's emerald eyes looking at him in shock. Edd just handed him the bottle and offered him a drink, so Kevin took a swig, which led to two, which led to too many.

"So you gonna tell me what happened dork?"

"I caught my girlfriend… fucking another guy in her shower. She didn't even notice me." He continued to drink more until Kevin snatched the bottle from Edd. "Drinking and smoking will only take it away temporarily Edd. You can't rely on intoxicating yourself to feel better." Edd thought about what he said, and put out the joint. He just sat there and nodded, not speaking a word.

"I just don't know what to do. I thought we had something you know? And then she does that shit. I mean, seriously? Why would she do that to me?!"

Kevin was still trying to wrap his head around the nerd's vulgar language. Edd looked at Kevin, tears filling the rim of his eyes. Kevin could feel the pain radiating from Edd, but what was he supposed to do? He did the only thing he could think of at the moment, and pulled his enemy in for a hug. Eddward grabbed the front of Kevin's shirt, staining it with his tears. Why did the bitch have to hurt him so bad? Why did it have to be the single most thoughtful person there was? Kevin's heart ached, as if she had broken his as well. He pulled Edd in tighter, resting his chin on the boys crying head, whispering that it everything would be okay to the heart broken teen resting in his arms.
