So I do not know anything about ed or eddy in the AU that asphixion created…..So I just kinda made Eddy my own… sorry… here we go. Btw this is not any way affiliated with his comics.. Just kinda came from or whatever. I kinda gave Edd my own background because I wanted to give a little description of why he changed in this story..

Chapter 9

Eddy's POV

After the split up of me Ed and Double D, I ran off into the city, doing my best to get high up in the popularity ranks as possible. And I made it. Finally. I am now the owner of the highest earning casino in the city, along with three hotels, a restaurant or two, and the leader of my "mob association", the Laotians. I have a beautiful woman by my side, and I am rich. Beyond believe. Everything is going great until I get that call.

"Eddy, I need your help."

God fucking damn it all to hell. He was my best friend turned asshole. But still best friend that I would do anything for, like we promised all those years ago.

Flashback

"No matter what happens boys, when we need each other. We will be there for each other. No matter what happens to us. If we need each other-"

"We will never give up on each other Eddy, I promise." Double D finishes off for me. Ed nods his head viciously, picking us both up as squeezing us hard.

"Forever and ever and ever and ever-"

End flashback

"Eddy, are you there?" Edd asks over the line.

"Yea Double D I'm here." I mutter quietly. This was enough of a surprise to knock the viciousness out of my normal voice. I could never stay mad at Edd or Ed for long, so I had to leave them behind. I hear Double D chuckle.

"No one has called me that in a long time Eddy." He says and I smile. "I am sorry to bother you however. There is a crisis, and I am afraid… I need your help Eddy." I frown, he sounds really upset, and this is unusual, especially for the new Double D.

"What is going on D?" I ask, and he explains everything, of course I get pissed when I hear Kevin's part in this, but Double D's voice, he loves the kid you can tell. He never would have called me otherwise.

"Is there.. Can you help me?" He finishes, there is a hint of vulnerability in his voice, and he sounds defeated. Sounds just like the Double D I grew up with, the fragile one. I start to think. If Kevin was taken, the guy might not have taken his phone away.

"Have you tried calling his phone?" I ask.

"No, I didn't want to risk Trey picking up." He replies. I grab my other phone.

"Look, I got some contacts. I'm going to make a few calls, just sit tight and do not hang up. I'll be right back." I say and put him on mute. I call a few of my "friends" and finally get one who might be able to track the phone. "Hey D, what's the number to Kevin's phone?" I ask and he gives it, and I relay it to my friend. He tells me he will call me back and so now I just have to wait for that. "Hey D, where are you at right now? Like street address?" I ask, and he tells me with confusion.

"Why do you want to know?" He asks, and I tell him to hold on. I call my driver, giving him the address and tell him to pick D up.

"I'm sending my driver if this guy is as crazy as you say, I am not letting you go in alone. No arguments" I finish when I hear him growl. "You asked for my help and so I am going to help you. I got a guy tracing his phone. We will find your boy, DD. I promise." I finish as I hear a slight whimper. After Double D turned into a total asshole, for a whole year I waited for him to go back to Double D. But he never did, he was.. It was heart breaking to see him change like that, and there was nothing I could do. After our final fight, not yelling but actual fist throwing, he ended with a black eye, and I with a broken nose he told me I didn't know him that I will never know him and to leave. And so I did. I left and never went back. That was the last thing said.

"Thank you Eddy, I know I do not deserve-" He says, but I cut him off.

"No, we promised. It's just your turn for help. And I am here. Like I promised I would be." I say and then my other phone rings. "Hold on D, it's my guy." I say and mute him.

"What did you find?" I demand.

"Well the kid's phone is either off or broke. But I did some searching on the other kid and his GPS was turned on. They are approximately at this address, as of right now." He says, giving me the address and I hang up.

"Alright Double D, I got an address, are you in the car?"

"Yea he picked me up while you were on the other phone." He replies.

"Alright." I mute him again and call my driver. "Come get me, we will be leaving again."

"Right sir."

"Alright Edd, the driver is going to pick me up, and we will go get him."

"Thanks Eddy… really i…." He just stops, and I hear him choke. I let him do what he needs.

Kevins POV

I have been slowly slipping in and out of consciousness. Finally I feel myself wake up, and before I open my eyes, or even move, I listen around. I don't hear anything, and so I wiggle my fingers and notice my hands are free, I slowly open my eyes and see the ceiling, looking around I notice I am in a room. It looks like a little boys room, light blue walls, a desk with a chair and the bed being the only form of furniture. I sit up and see the door. I move my legs to swing of the bed when I see that I am chained to the bedpost. I curse and try to remember what is going…. Shit Trey! My mom and dad are they…. The door swings open.

"Hey Pipsqueak, I brought you some food. I hope you like bologna sandwiches and chicken noodle soup." He says carrying in a tray of food. I swallow nervously and nod my head. He sets the tray down on the desk and walks over to the bed. I scoot back as far as possible and he sighs, sitting down. "Look, I know this isn't ideal, but it had to be done. I… well this whole fucked up situation…" he pauses looking away from me and then looking back. "I may have done it all wrong, but in the end I have you. Soon we will be out of this piss poor town, and we can start our own lives." He smiles. "Together"

"W-where are my p-parents?" I ask quietly. He frowns.

"I heard what you said," he says looking down again. "I knew it would break your heart if they died, so I just knocked your dad out. He will be fine. Now, you need to eat." He says getting up and bringing me the food and setting it down in front of me. "This isn't perfect, but it will do for now Pipsqueak. We won't be here long" he says and then leaves the room again. I sigh, hearing my stomach growl at the food, I am starving and so I guess I have no choice but to eat it. While eating I remember Edd. Is he ok? Did he ever wake up? Will I ever see him again?

I feel the tears start to prick my eyes. 'I know my parents are ok. He said they were, he seemed sincere.. But Edd. I don't know anything and this whole ordeal? Why didn't I just give in at the party? I should have, then I wouldn't have to deal with all this! My parents would be fine. Edd would still be awake and..' Finally the tears fall and I start sobbing. 'I should have dealt with this shit. I should have dealt with the pain and everything so they are ok. The only people I love got hurt and here I am.' I look up at Trey coming in the room again. He comes over to me and tries to hug me, but I scoot back again. Obvious fear in my eyes.

"Shhh" he cooed, rather gently. "It will be alright Pipsqueak. I won't let nothing happen to you. I promise. Shhh." He says grabbing me and setting me on his lap, rocking me on the bed. He is much gentler than I would have thought he would be. I sit still, mostly out of fear but also comfort. This is nice. It actually is, and it just feels pleasant to be held, especially when feeling so helpless. I think about being held like this by Edd, but I doubt, even if I ever see him again that he would ever be so kind. Even on our… fuck it, it was a date, and we both know it. On our date he was calmer than I've seen him, he even smiled, but he was still cold Eddward. Thinking of Edd made me nuzzle into Treys chest. I look up, and Trey is smiling down at me.

"See, everything will be ok now, I am here for you, and I'll always be here." He says and continues to rock me. I figure it is this, or he kills me, so I stay as calm as I can and just sit in his lap like a child. I am so much smaller than him.

"T-trey?" I ask quietly.

"Yes Pipsqueak?" I hate that nickname.

"Um… wont your like, p-parents worry if you d-don't come h-home?" I ask. He stills and gets a hard look on his face. I flinch thinking he is mad at me for asking and he looks back down at me, cooing me to calm me.

"Don't worry babe, my parents are not an issue anymore." He says, and I jerk my head up.

"Why not?" I ask stupidly, but he just smiles down at me.

"They are dead, Pipsqueak." I still. Did… what… he must have noticed my look and chuckled. "My mother died during child birth." He says. And I nod.

"And your father?" I ask. He gets a cold look in his face. This is a terrifying look, he looks ready to kill someone…..Or already has. The pure hatred..

"That bastard won't ever bother us again neither." He says and stands up, laying me down. "You need some sleep Pipsqueak. Relax, cuz it's going to be a tiresome week." He says and leaves. I get the strange feeling that boy is capable of more than I thought…

Eddward's POV

My parents died. No one but those in the cul-de-sac know. It was a cold night. My parents were slowly being able to come home more often and have been trying for a few months now. They were supposed to be at my math meet. I had been waiting for them, I kept looking in the audience for them, but only Eddy and Ed were there for me. My parents promised they would show, and they never broke a promise. I waited and waited and finally I won the meet, and they still were not here.

"Son, these officers need to speak with you." My math coach says, and I nod, he leads me over to two police officers waiting for me on the sidelines. They tell me that my parents have been in a fatal accident. They lost control of their vehicle on icy roads and passed away. I didn't listen to anymore as I took off to the only place I could think of to go that no one would ever look for me of all people. The locker room. There are no teams here this late at night, and it was supposed to be empty. So I cry. I cry more than I have ever cried before and as I am crying I decide not to be the weakling anymore. I hardened my heart, turning me into the cold person I am now. While I am crying the locker door opens, and Kevin comes in. He is still shorter because we are only kids at the time, and he starts to talk to me.

"What's wrong dweeb? Did you lose or something?" I look up at him with the coldest eyes I can manage. I feel the anger build up.

"No, you pathetic imbecilic I did not fucking lose. Unlike you, I know my abilities and use them to full potential. Unlike the worthless Neanderthal you are, I want to make a difference in the future. I am suffering you ignoramus! And unlike a one shot wonder, who's only ability is to catch a fucking ball someone throws, I might actually matter someday! You? In a few years you will graduate and no one here will remember you. You will make less of an impact upon this world that a flee dying on a dogs ass! Now do yourself a fucking favor and leave me the hell alone!" I scream at him, panting as I shove him out of my way and storm out of the locker room.

What I say must have made an impact because he stops playing sports, and because he wasn't exercising as much, or eating the foods to bulk up, he did not grow any higher, and he starts to study. He actually starts to pay attention in school, while I revert away from my friends, Ed becomes a loner and Eddy leaves, I guess to the city to become a successful rich guy. I feel guilty because I know I pushed them away but.. After my parents died there was no more room for feelings.

That is until Kevin, the new Kevin, comes around and admits his stupid feelings for me. Everything ever said to me, anyone who said what they said, it never mattered, if it was mean if it was nice, it didn't matter. That night, those three words Kevin uttered had a larger effect on me than all the things anyone has said to me before. These three words actually broke through my shields. The shields I have perfected over the years. He shattered them, enough that I actually started crying for the first time since that night I got the news. And now I have realized something else on this drive to Eddy's home, to save Kevin…

I loved him too.
