1 guy, 5 girls (Completed)

Final...

Once Friday rolled around, Ed woke up that morning, somewhat petrified. For he knew that he would have to meet with Ms. Carson early this morning in the principal's office. He was more so scared as to how the girls would react to his... rapist.

He woke up to find the girls waiting for him in front of his door, "Good morning girls," Ed walked passed the girls towards his respective bathroom, but he felt someone grab his wrist, "Ed...," He turned and saw that it wasn't only just one hand, it was all of the girls' hands.

They all looked at him with sympathetic and worrisome eyes. He only looked away, and pulled away from his grasps, "It's alright, don't worry about me. I cleared my mind last night... everything will be fine, trust me," He continued to his bathroom, and turned back to them, "I'll be coming late again, like Monday. I have to meet up with an old friend..."

He didn't wait for their response, and he closed the door behind him. All he could do... was stare at himself in the mirror. He had bags under his eyes. He hasn't slept since Wednesday, and he had heavy bags under his eyes. He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened that time he was raped.

He started the shower and hopped in once it was hot. As he was washing himself, he heard a knock on his door, "Yeah, what do you need?" A voice answered, it was Lily, "Do you need anyone to wash your back?" Ed didn't respond, he just opened the door to let Lily in.

She somewhat reluctantly stepped inside, only to find Ed already waiting for her to wash his back, "You weren't very reluctant. What's wrong?" Ed didn't answer, he just stared at his hands, "You can talk to me Ed. Listen, you don't-," "How would feel... if I just magically disappeared? Hypothetically of course."

Lily was taken aback by his question, but remained cool either way. She exhaled deeply and responded, "Well, I would probably be depressed. Losing a loved one isn't easy, I've already experienced it, but I know I couldn't mourn you forever, and you wouldn't want us to mourn you forever," Without changing expression, Ed asked another question, "I asked this same question to Kat. How would you feel, if I didn't end up with you? How would you feel if I married someone else, other than you?" This time Lily just froze in general.

All she could do was think about what would happen. Ed with someone else, is something all the girls are afraid of. If they lose the only person they've ever fallen in love with, then what will they do if he finds the love of his life?

Lily stood up, and showered off the suds from his back. She began to walk to the door, but was stopped by Ed, "Will you not answer?" She jerked his hand away, and turned to him, "I need time to think about it. I'll give you an answer some point. Just give me some time."

Ed nodded, and Lily walked out of the bathroom. All Ed could do, was looking at himself in the mirror again. His eyes... looked dead.

Once everyone was ready to head out, Ed went to retrieve the keys from his mom. Since both Lily and Ed had their license, they could drive the girls to school. Ed was the one that drove, and he received a phone call as he was about to start the car.

He checked the caller ID, and it was Charl. He answered, "What's up Charl. What's wrong?" "Ms. Carson is here. She's waiting with the principal right now," Ed didn't answer and Charl got worried, "Ed, is something wrong?" Ed answered quickly, "No everything is fine, but... are you fine with the girls coming with me to the meeting?"

Charl was silent, but she responded nonetheless, "Yeah, if you can't convince them not to go, then be my guest," "Alright, thank you, we're heading there now," Ed hung up and looked around the car, "Are you girls sure you want to be with going to the meeting?" All the girls nodded, not saying a word.

"Alright, let's get going," Ed started the car, and headed off to school. Once they had arrived, Charl was waiting for them in the main entrance. Once they got out the car, Ed didn't move from where he stood. He just stood there and looked towards the school. He took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Let's go... it's now or never."
