10. It's all about her…

.

Many thanks for the reviews guys. Love you all!

Sorry for taking me so very very long to publish a new chapter, but right now I am dealing with plenty of work at school and it is very hard to find time. (I have also found some very nice stories here in fan fiction and I don't have the time to read them, which also sucks!)

Ok as about our story. I left you at Double D's party. If you were at his place what would you do: everything or nothing? It sounds like an easy question to answer but is it?

The party was over early and everyone went home. Kevin wanted to speak with Nazz privately. Double D stayed with his two best friends and Sarah.

.

Silence. They were just looking at each other trying to find something to say. But they couldn't. No one dared to break the stillness. Double D was sad, Eddy was angry, Sarah questioned and Ed on his own happy place as always. Sarah was questioned cause she couldn't understand why Eddy was angry. Eddy was angry because he couldn't understand why Double D wasn't happy. And Double D didn't care right now for what his friends were thinking about his frame of mind. He couldn't be happy in front of such a dilemma.

Eddy was always the shortest in temper. He couldn't wait any longer. He had to find out what was wrong with this picture.

"WHY AREN'T YOU HAPPY?"

"Eddy!"

"Sarah, no. Why aren't you happy Double D? You are accepted in one of the best's schools. And furthermore Nazz is coming with you! What else do you want to be happy?"

"His brain has been possessed by mutants Eddy!"

"Not now Mono-Brow. What aren't you telling us?"

"Nothing Eddy! I want nothing. Anything of these can replace her. I just want her. Can you hear me clear? HER!"

Under the pressure of Eddy's questions Double D erupted. He let it out of his system. There was no use holding it when everything was lost. He acted in the way he should had acted few hours ago but couldn't. He said exactly what he wanted to say.

"You are willing to risk everything for HER? Gee, and I thought Ed was stupid!"

"I love her Eddy. What do you expect me to do?"

"Love and other crap. This is your fucking life, your future to cry out loud. Do you get that?"

"You just can't understand Eddy. I love her."

"Just because I am not a scientist and shit that doesn't mean I am don't know love. But I can't understand YOU. I would be on your side if I knew this could end up well. But it won't, and it is your whole life in risk. She's a Kanker. There's no future for you two and you don't have to be a freakin'genius to get that. She doesn't even love you."

Double D's angry expression left from his face and his eyes wide opened.

"She does." Double D said to himself and as he said these words an almost invisible smile started to shape.

"What are you mumbling about?"

After all the things they said. After all the painful things she said. After all the harm he had caused her. She still loved him. She might have hated herself for that, but it was the truth. She still loved him.

"Actually she does. And if I go, I will lose my last chance with her."

"Oh brother. Let's leave guys. But remember this. She is a Kanker."

"Bye Double D." Sarah said and followed Eddy.

"Beware of the mutants."

"Thanks Ed. Bye."

Double D was finally alone. If she still loved him he still got a change. He could find another opportunity. There are many to be found. But he could never found another Marie. And there was only one Marie.

.

(Nazz)

She couldn't control him anymore. Well she could but not as much as she used to. With one word he was melting under her fit, becoming a rug ready for her to step on his derelict body. He used to be a puppet in her hands waiting for command. But now he had eyes only for her. Marie Kanker, a pathetic creature unable to be compared with her little finger. And he, he was even considering to stay. To stay, just for Marie, when he could be with her.

Next to Nazz Kevin was walking quietly, holding a huge black umbrella to protect them from any exposing to the heavy raindrops. With his other hand he was holding her waist keeping her as close to him as possible. His lips were closed tight, trying to cover his emotions from anyone else. His eyes were looking straight ahead, deep into the void, making you understand he was thinking something very serious.

Nazz was the love of his life. The news felt on his ears like a million ton bomb. He didn't even want to imagine what was going to follow this autumn. She would leave, that's for sure. However he would be still seeing her, every now and then. That's better than never. But would it last? His heart would always be hers but that never meant the opposite. He never wanted to find out if she also loved him, the way he loved her, or if she just wanted to be with him because he was the most popular boy in school. She would find someone else, someone that would be stronger, more popular and more handsome, who would be with her all the time. He wouldn't be able to win her back. And then… it would be over.

Kevin held Nazz tighter, bringing her even closer. He wanted to be with her for as long as they would be given, to make up for all the time they would be separated in the cold winter. He observed her carefully. Above her red lips were her enchanting blue eyes, covered by few blond hairs which were playfully upon them. He kissed the top of her head gently. Her perfume smothered him, but in a good pleasant way. How would they survive apart for so long? How could he survive with her away?

Nazz looked back at Kevin. She really liked him; maybe in the bottom of her heart she even loved him. She wouldn't change him for any boy of the cul-de-sac, especially not for a geeky nerd like Edd. But she needed Double D. She needed him at her new school. She needed him to whisper the correct answers in her ear, to help her pass the exams; he could even find the answers before a test. She needed his brain and the thought of her influence being minimized was bothering her. But how could she change his mind? Marie was with someone else and Double D still couldn't forget her. What was needed to make him forget her?

She looked at Kevin for one more time. No, she might have been a little shallow but she would never break up with Kevin and make Double D her new boyfriend just for the grades.

"What's bothering you?" Kevin asked her gently, hiding the thoughts which were perishing his mind.

"I am just thinking… well about Double D. He didn't seem like really happy when he found out he was accepted in this school. I mean it was a life-dream for this dude to go in a good school with proper education, teachers and stuff."

"He has his own dorky problems."

"Yeah, but if you mean Marie, she is with Rolf, so it's better he just leave and forget all about her.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Marie and Rolf broke up. They aren't together any longer. I mean as a couple, they are still friends or something alike. I can't understand everything Rolf says."

"That's a pity. They seemed nice together."

"Well, Rolf liked her. I mean a lot. He prefers her over Victor!"

"Wow. That's pretty huge."

"Tell me about it."

"Then why?"

"Rolf thought she would be better with that dork and he insisted to put her happiness above his. Lame huh, he just let that Double Dweeb have her."

"That's why he didn't want to leave." and her eyes wide opened.

"I suppose."

Silence again. They were walking slowly while the thick raindrops were tapping violently on they black umbrella. The solid was wet and some mud was covering the pavement. No one was around and the fog had created an eerie atmosphere. Just the two of them in the side of the road, the sound of their footsteps was covered by the thunders.

Nazz had realized what had happened. She had to make him forget her. As long as Double D believed that Marie had feelings for him Nazz hadn't a change. But if she could convince him that Marie was over him, or if she could make also Marie think that he didn't like her, then it would be like stealing candy from a baby. Double D would follow her to their new school and, as he would be devastated, he would do anything his beloved Nazz wanted.

"Do you want to come in?"

It was Kevin's voice which interrupted her thoughts. They were right in front of his house. He was looking her with his eyes open. Spending his free time with her was the best thing he could ask for. But the thoughtful expression on her face disappointed him.

"Sorry Kev, I've got some stuff to do."

"Oh, alright then."

"I'll better go home. See you later key?"

"Yeah, later, cool."

She smiled until he smiled back at her. She put her cowl on and run towards her house. That was the last place she wanted to go. However he had to see her getting inside. She saved herself from a lot of questions she didn't want to answer.

Nazz reached the front door of her house and opened it. She quickly ran upstairs and after a couple of minutes she was right back wearing her ashen raincoat, her black galoshes and holding a purple umbrella. She thought for a minute and placed the umbrella next to the door. She didn't want to scratch it and that was very likely to happen where she was going. She opened violently the door and left her house. She new exactly who would help her accomplish her plan.
