Surely not long after the unthinkable,

Ed's mother made the call to her husband, who was currently working.

They decided to call a memorial service.

In a couple weeks from now,

a funeral was set and planned.

Ofcourse, the nightmare is not totally over yet.

It seemed quiet..Edd mentioned. There's not alot of activity...It's almost like being around dead people.

Who still have feelings for their son.

Edd was by himself that evening, parents off to dinner.

Edd's POV

"That night was dreadful, simply dreadful.

I started my night by doing some homework.

But I couldn't even get that done due to the guilt.

I cried...I cried in my arms, face down on my desk,

my paper felt damp. I had to control myself.. So I started over on my essay.

It was cold, and windy outside.

I need some fresh air...

So I open my window, I could see Eddy on the otherside of the cul-de-sac. He was on his bed.

I couldn't hide my feelings anymore. I cried once again.

This is so frustrating! I just lost my best friend!
...Where do I go from here.."

On the otherside, Eddy just got off the phone with Sarah.

Then, I heard my phone ring.

I swallowed hard, and spoke lightly. "Hello."

" Just finished talking to Sarah."

"How's she doing?" I asked hopeful.

"She's saying her mom never came out of her room, she's been in there ever since she made the call at a memorial."

I shook my head. And replied:

"Eddy...I don't know how you could deal with this, so much better then any of us could."

"Hey." He grumbled. "I'm just as sad as you are..I just ...I'm just-"

"Your lost?"

"..."

"Sarah's mother invited us to the funeral, yes?" I asked, sitting up against my bed.

"I dunno..I guess...Why wouldn't she?"

"Maybe they just want the family there, could you ask her?"

"Yeh, but I'm sure they wont mind." He sighed. "I'm gonna go eat some left over pizza."

"Alright,...Goodnight." I said softly. Closing both of my eyes.

"Good night."

(Clang)

He hung up.

I was tired of crying, I knew I couldn't do it anymore.

Unfortunetly I know I'll be doing it again at the funeral.

Not to sure about Eddy.

He doesn't show much, but I know he cares about Ed almost as much as I.

I hope..

I turned my light out, and let my eyes get used to the darkness.

As soon as I could see my hand in front of my face, I closed em, and drifted off to dream land.

Eddy, did the same.

The sun came up on my nightmare.

I woke up and skipped breakfast. I didn't have much of an appetite.

Schools gonna be rough.

I didn't feel like going..But mother forced me.

I just wished the funeral would come.

I'm tired of waiting.

I waited at the bus stop for Eddy, as usual, he was late.

But I didn't mind. I was happy enough tor ealise I had some company.

I turned to him, then he turned to me.

"How're you feeling?" He asked me.

I shook my head deeply.

He gave a small nod. "Had any sleeping problems?"

Just alittle.

We didn't say much after that, the bus had arived. One by one, Eddy and the kids of the cul-de-sac aboard the bus.

I was the last on.

I sat with Eddy way in the back, usualy he sits with Jonny..But I guess this time he made an exception.

"Eddy...What're you doing you sit up here!" The bus driver yelled. SO loud it made Jimmy wallow..

He sat up, high enough to where his eyes could see.

"Um..Is it alright if I sit here t-today?" He asked.

She shrugged. "Fine, just don't break any rules.."

He sat back down beside me, I shift over to him, he was grinning to himself.

A bus seat was empty in front of us.

Where Ed sat.
