A KevEdd Story

Chapter 29

                Jon smiled as he rolled his father out of the hospital doors. Charles smiled softly seeing both his sons at his side. Ty, a little less pleased with his father's departure. Charles grabbed Ty's hand and gave a small smile.

"I know you don't believe me, but I do want to change, son. I don't want to destroy what little relationship I have left with either of you." Ty chuckled coldly. "Look, Tyler...I know what I did was..."

"Deplorable?" He offered. "In Double D's words." Charles tilted his head confused.

"Who's that?"

"One of the boys I bullied because of your anti-gay propaganda." He looked down sadly. "I made those boys lives hell Because of you. Because of what you did to Jon and Adam. You took my brothers away from me!! I became so messed up because of you! I forgot Jon and Adam because of you and now that you had a near death experience you think all is forgiven?!" Ty walked off in a huff.

"I hurt him...so much..." Tears formed in his eyes as he got up and chased his son grabbing him. "I get it! I hurt you! I hurt both of you. I'm sorry! I can't say I'm sorry enough! I know I'm sorry won't do a damn thing, but I want to make things right, damn it!" There was a small pause, nothing could be heard but the sound of the hollow wind and the sounds of leaves dancing and scraping on the floor as they glided by. Tears rolled down his cheeks. "I will never ask you to forgive me, son. I don't deserve it. But...I will always love you and your brother no matter what. You are both my children and its high time I started acting like a dad." Ty looked at him shocked to see rivers falling down his face.

"Tyler...please...I don't want you to push me out of your life. Let me fix my mistake. Let me be a father to you." Ty blinked looking at Jon as he nodded.

"You...really want to change don't you?" He looked his son in his eyes and nodded.

"Yes. I don't know if I can fix it, but I will spend the rest of my life trying to." Tyler sighed and pulled his dad in slowly as Charles clasped around him.

"Okay, Dad."

"I love you, kiddo. I'm so sorry I hurt you...both of you boys." Ty looked at his brother who only gave him a thumbs up.

"I love you too, dad."

Edd smiled finally able to hang out with his friends after what seemed like so long. Ed himself was overjoyed with the three pals being together again, dancing up and down a huge oafish grin coming from him. Double D couldn't help but to smile endearingly at his friend, knowing how much he was missed. Eddy was pleased too, though he kept a cool stoic face as he leaned on the lightpost. However, he couldn't hide the small smile when he spoke to his dear friend once again. The three talked about what the other missed; grades, school, and even Sarah's irrational behavior even reminiscing about old times.

"God, it seemed like yesterday, we broke Jimmy's teeth with that creamhorn scam...and now...."

"We're going to be adults soon." Edd noted. Ed stopped for a moment, worry looming over his head. "We have to start looking at schools and careers." Eddy gave a soft chuckle.

"So? Where are you planning on going?" Edd blushed a little holding on to his hat, reviving an old habit he had when he was nervous.

"I don't know...there are so many schools that want me at their institution."

"Have you even talked to Kevin about this, Double D?" Ed asked concerned. Edd looked down, remembering the past conversation with a small smile.
