Chapter 6: Choices
"Kevin.. please. I- I know I fucked up.. I know-"
"Stop. Just stop Eddy." Kevin gritted his teeth, he wasnt even sure why he was frustrated to begin with, but the fact of the matter was, he had reverted back to his asshole mode and his mouth was spewing words faster than his mind could think. "That's fucking disgusting. You're disgusting. What in the world were you thinking?! Of course, what am I thinking. You ARE Eddy. The cheater. The scamer. The one to always take the easy way out and then when things go wrong, you turn to others to solve your damn problems. Well why not solve this one on your own?!"
"K..Kevin?" Eddy blinked back tears. "...I-"
"Go away Eddy. Just leave. I dont want to associate myself with someone with loose morals like yourself." Kevin mentally slapped himself as his words slowly reached his brain. By the time he cleared his thoughts, turned to apologize, Eddy was gone. "Shit..." the jock slammed a fist against his bedroom wall. " Why the fuck did I say all that for!?"
...
Staring up, watching the old ceiling fan of an old motel room turn around in circles, Eddy thought about the night of his confession. The regret for every choices he had made up until that night, and the ones to fallow. Its been a little over a month and he still didnt know what to do. Running away from home didnt help make the problems go away, and stealing money from his parents... That was like a new low for him.
Turning over to his side, he thought a bit more. Repenting. He thought about that word. Is that what he was doing now?
Sighing, he turned a bit more, this time enough to bury his face into the bed's pillow. He hated this self loathing period he was going through. He hated the fact that he was a caword and ran away instead of own up to what he had done. He hated EVERYTHING, down to the fact that he missed the finals, which meant everything he had done was literally meaningless because in the end, he still wasnt with his friends.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Eddy stood. He walked over to the front door, opened it, and with a determined mind, decided...
"There is no going back, only forward."
...
"Kev. Come on. It's never too late." Nazz tried to be optimistic about the situation.
"What are you talking about Nazz. Open your eyes, look around you! There is no EDDY. How the hell do you expect me to right my wrong!?" Kevin flipped his desk, watching in anger as it slammed against a few others, knocking them over like dominos.
"Well.. OH! I got it! Vacation time is a month away!"
Kevin raised a brow. "So what? How does that help me?"
"Remember when we practically travled across town to that old amusement park when we were chasing the Eds down?"
"Yeah?"
"What if WE go in search of Eddy? I mean we would have 3 whole months to find him, and I am sure we can find him within those months. We just gatta ask around, get clues, be all detective like."
Kevin opened his mouth to reject the idea, but instead...
"Actually... I think... I think you might have actually had a bright idea this time Nazz. I mean... You would really waiste your vacation with Lee, to help me out?"
"I'm sure she will understand."
"Lets do this!"
"I want in." A voice spoke out from the doorway of the classroom.
"Me too!" said another voice. Nazz and Kevin both looked over to see who had spoken up. Of course it couldnt have been any one else other than the two dorks Ed and Edd trying to find their third musketeer.
"Okay you guys! Lets meet up at Eddy's place as soon as school lets out. We will begin the search there." Nazz exclaimed excitedly.
"This time... I will do this right." Kevin spoke to himself."I'm coming for ya dork."
