So it's Sat-Sunday, 12:42 a.m. Yeah, which means I have school tomorrow.. :( rawr. -Kate Oh the song in the last chapter was All the Pretty Little Horses. :D

"What's goin' on down here?" Ed asked walking down to where we were.

"Just swapping war stories, Ed." said Andrea hoping that Ed would leave. He was smoking and was still standing by us. "Problem, Ed?"

"Nothin' that concerns you." he said flatly. "You ought to focus on your work. This ain't now night time karaoke club," he said to Carol but implied me. I rolled my eyes. Amy and Andrea gave an annoyed look to each other. Everyone went back to work while Ed watched us. It was very uncomfortable. After a while Andrea got fed up with Ed.

"You know what Ed? You don't like the way your laundry's done, why don't you do it? Here," Andrea said tossing a wet shirt to Ed. He threw it back at her face making her step back a bit.

"Ain't my job, missy." he replied.

Amy stood up, "Andrea, don't."

"What is your job, Ed? Sitting on your ass smoking cigarettes?" Andrea snapped.

"Well, it sure as hell ain't listening to some uppity smart-mouth bitch. Tell you what-Come on. Let's go," he said toward Carol.

"I don't think she needs to go anywhere with you, Ed." said Andrea.

"And I say it's none of your business. Come on now. You heard me." he said. Andrea, Amy, and were trying to get Carol to stay with them. "Hey, don't think I won't knock you on your ass just 'cause you're some college-educated cooze, all right?" Andrea gasped at his words. "Now you come on now or you gonna regret it later."

"So she can show up with fresh bruises later, Ed?" asked Jacqui. He gave a scoff and laughed. "Yeah, we've seen them."

"Just stay out of this. Now come on!" Ed said loudly. "You know what? This ain't non of y'all's business. You don't want to keep prodding the bull here, okay? Now I am done talking. Come on." He grabbed Carol by the arm this time.

"No. No. Carl, you don't have to-"
"Stay-"

"You don't tell me what! I tell you what!" Ed then slapped Carol on the face. I got up to join the group holding onto Carol who was crying. Andrea and Jacqui were trying to get Ed away from Carol. Thankfully Shane appeared and grabbed Ed away from us and took him on the side and pushed him into the sand. Shane started to beat Ed. Carol didn't like this, she walked slowly trying to get to Ed, but Andrea stopped her. Shane was really beating the shit out of Ed.

There had to be another reason as to why Shane was punching so hard. It can't just be for this reason. But who knows?

"Shane just stop!" said Amy.

"Stop it!" said Carol. Shane said something to Ed and punched him once more. He got up and kicked his side and Carol ran to him apologizing for what just happened. Yep this day just got worse.

To the next chapter! *tries to fly but falls* -stupid cape- :D
