The Neighbors //Eddsworld x Fem! reader//

Escaping to Find them

(A/N hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm a dick. I'm so sorry for the hiatus, I was trying to bump up my Math grade. I am also just a lazy fuck who knew what to write about, but thought whatever I'll just update more during the summer they won't mind. Sigh, I am really sorry I am jumping into too many other fandoms, and Eddsworld isn't what's the most poppin for me rn. Don't worry about me discontinuing the story though. I still adore all my lovely readers, and I would never want to be sad. Anyway my bowling meets are almost over, so I'll try to start writing on Saturday, and posting on Sunday. Again I am sorry for being such a jerk and not updating. And finally HOLY LONELY PONY EATING MACARONI!!!!!! Almost 24 K reads!!! You're all too awesome!!! ON WITH THE STORY!!!)

       

             I slowly opened the door, careful to not draw too much attention. I looked to make sure the coast was clear before exiting the hospital room. If this was anything like The Walking Dead, I had to be quick and quiet. I pulled a switchblade from the duffel bag, and made my way to the end of the hallway. I peeked around the corner, and sure enough there were at least three zombies. I crept up behind one stabbing it in the head, letting it hit the floor with a thud. As soon as it did I stabbed the other two in the head. I thought Tord said that it was getting too dangerous to come here anymore. I continued on my way.

             It didn't take me long to get to the bottom floor. I crouched , looking through the glass doors there was a huge herd of zombies outside. Welp I obviously can't take the front door, so how about the back? I was lucky enough to find that there were only a few zombies in the alleyway behind the hospital. I managed to get away from the larger groups of zombies, and I found a familiar road that could lead me to my house! Oh... Wait... Okay then I will have to see if 'The Gangs' are at their homes. 

        "No, I don't want no scrub. A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me. Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friends ride trying to holla at me.~" What the hell? It's the apocalypse and someone is singing TLC? I followed the sound till I could clearly see who it was.

        "Oh, hi Mark," He was carrying groceries and had a lot of blood on him.

        "Oh, hi (Y/N)," he said his expression changed almost in an instant when he saw me. "So what are you doing here? I thought you would be off with Mr. Whatever his face is."

        " uh... which one?" At this point we were walking together.

        "The one that looks like he could kill you, and actually could. You know that weirdo with the horn hair." 

        "Tord?" Why would I be with Tord?

       "Yeah, real nice friend you have. Him and Tim or whatever, I don't really care, got into a fight." Oh boy. "One of them punched Jon in the face. I wasn't there to see it, but that is what Edd told me." They punched Jon? When I see them two. They will feel my wrath.  I looked over at Mark who looked perfectly calm about all of this.

       "So, I didn't know you liked TLC." I said awkwardly trying to change the subject. His cheeks turned a bit pink.

       "I do not," he said looking straight forward, refusing to look at me.

      "I heard you singing Scrubs when I found you. You can't hide these things from me!" 

      "I will give you ten pounds to say you heard nothing." He said still not looking at me.

      "You know currency means nothing in the zombie apocalypse, right?"

       "Whatever we are here anyway." I stopped to look at the house while he kept walking up to the door. All the windows were boarded up. "Are you just going to stand there or are you coming?" I shook my head and sprinted to the door. I stood next to Mark as he set down a bag and did a little knock on the door. It was open so quickly I could barely process it.

      "Mark! And (Y/N)! Come on in!" Edd said holding the door open for us. Mark let me walk in first. As soon as I entered the room Edd slammed the door, and gave me a bone crushing hug.

      "Edd are you okay?" I hugged him back. He looked at me tears already flowing freely down his red cheeks. 

       "Don't scare me like that ever again!" He put his head on my shoulder crying into it. I pet his hair and told him comforting things like 'It's okay' and 'I'm here'. I looked around the room and noticed that it was only Edd, Mark, and I that were here. Edd let go wiping his eyes, Mark handing him a tissue to blow his nose.

        "Edd, where are the others?" Edd blew into his tissue one last time before throwing it away.

        "Matt is upstairs sleeping. I have no idea where the others are." Edd said sadness lacing his words.

        "What happened to them?" Edd looked down, taking a deep breath before looking at me. 

        "It's a long story, but we have the time." I stared at Edd waiting for him to continue. "It all happened so fast," He nervously chuckled. "One minute we were all getting along thinking we could get through this, the next Tom and Tord are fighting. Tord ended up punching Jon, giving him a black eye, Tom turned into some kind of purple monster and ran away. Eduardo took Jon, God knows where they are now. I thought maybe Tord would stay, but he just left like the rest. He said that he was going to say goodbye to you. Mark  was scavenging  when it all happened, and Matt wanted to wait for you. . ." Oh, Edd, I stared at him in shock. 

        "At least we have half of us together!" I said confidently trying to lighten the mood. Edd smiled at me.

        "Thanks, (Y/N), I needed that."
