EDD'S POINT OF VIEW

  Just smile. That's always what the world around has taught me. Just smile, don't let the pain show, as long as you smile. I've lived by that as long as I could remember, no matter how hard it seems, I just smiled.

  While suffering through parental abusement, I smiled. While watching through the suicide of a friend, I smiled.

But now no ones around

  I've seen all my friends die, so have with my parents, I have no one around me.  I've stopped smiling.

  For years and years I let my mask of smiles down. As everything negative hits me twice as before.

  I've forgotten how it was to smile through the pain, around people, or just at all. I've forgotten everything.

  So now I'm just in my lonesome apartment demotivated to do anything.

Knock knock

  A knock? I've never have gotten anyone to knock at my door for any reason, never created loud noise, never went around bothering others, my apartment was rather clean due to me never touching it so there's no way I could have anything that can disrupt the others, I don't every have anything to ship to me, and I don't have any friends that are alive to come visit me.

  I went up to answer it anyways, maybe it can be death knocking, ready to take me away.

  'Hello new neighbor! The names Matt Spear!' My hand was grabbed and the ginger shook it violently. 

Matt

'Oh, uh,, Hi, Matt. You uh, you new?' I haven't used my words in so long it all went in jumbles.

  'Of course I'm new! You don't have a man as devilishly handsome as me so I decided to move in!'

  'C'mon Matt, if you start greeting the neighbors with that ego so quickly you'll scare everyone.' A man in a blue hoodie walked up to me and stood beside Matt. The one thing sticking out was his eyes, you'd never expect for someone to walk so smoothly and look as if they has their eyes gouged out with their sockets painted black enough for you not to see past the front. 'Sorry for him, the names Tom, we moved in recently and Matt thought it'd be a good idea to greet everyone before we unpack everything. Which is if Matt think it's a good idea it's most likely to not be.'

  'Hey! I can create good ideas!'

  'What ever you say ginger.'

  'Uh, oh, um, name, uh,'

  'Woah hold up there pal, talking like that could go bad, slow down and think of your sentence first buddy.' Tom said, holding his hands up a bit.

  Slow down? I suppose I haven't talked in so long I don't even remember how to string a sentence to my voice.

"My... My name is Edd. Uh, Edd Guild! H-hello..' I haven't introduced myself in so long I had a feeling if they didn't show up any longer I may have forgotten my own name, or how to introduce myself.

  'Hello Edd! Let's be friends!' Matt squealed. Friends, huh. 

  'Sure.'

  We hanged out a bit and I learned a bit about the others, we had some fun chatting and really got along. After a while of time passing by rather fast, they headed to their own apartments, each living in separate ones.

  I sat back down thinking back about my day today and I wondered.

Maybe I could smile again
