Eddsworld Opposite day AU: Ouija board experience.

Ouija: Pulse

Matt's POV:

It's a very silent car ride.
Edd hasn't said a word ever since I got in.
Was it something I did?
I stare outside my passenger seat window, the buildings and trees move past quickly. I sigh and look at Edd.
He looks very upset, and tired.
"Edd?" I ask him.
His eyes don't move away from the road.
"Y-Yeah..?" Edd said, like his voice was going to break.

I examine Edd.
He has bags under his eyes, he looks like he's about to cry, he's struggling to sit up straight, and his fingers are twitching.
He sighs, and tears well up in his eyes.
"I...I just can't..." Edd says, despair in his tone.
Edd takes a deep breath.
"I-I just don't know anymore..."
Edd pulls over in the vet parking lot, and shuts off the car.
He stares blankly at the wheel, and his voice starts to break even worse.
"E-Everything...is just..I-I..just can't..." Edd stutters.
"Can't what?" I ask calmly.
Edd turns to me, pain clouded
his eyes.
"Can't do this! I can't take Ringo in there! I can't bury her! I can't go back into that house!
I can't...I c-can't..."
Edd then breaks into tears, and slams his head on the wheel.
"M-Matt...*hic* I-I can't do it.."
I put my hand on Edd's shoulder, and he starts to cry even more.
Tears drip onto the wheel, and soak his pants and shirt.

After a few minutes, Edd sits up, and gets out of the car. He opens the back door, and takes out Ringo gently. I get out as well, and follow Edd to the front desk, where a lady takes Ringo to go see a nurse. Edd and I take a seat in the waiting room.
We sit on a black, wooden bench, the walls are white, and light brown carpet is under our feet.
A glass table has a box of dog and cat treats on it, and next to the table is a magazine booth.
I take out a magazine, and examine it. It has a picture of a rabbit with a back background on the cover, on top of the rabbit has text saying, "play boy."
On the bottom, it says, "50 animal puns that only adults will get!"
I scoff, and put the magazine back.

I look over at Edd, he's wiping away tears on his sleeves.
"T-This is why *sniff* I-I wanted to be alone.." Edd says.
"So you wouldn't see me like this.."
I sigh, and put my arm around Edd.
"It doesn't matter, Edd." I say, holding Edd in a tight embrace.
"Its okay to cry."
Edd starts to breathe sharply, and sob harder in my arms. He clutches onto me painfully, but I stay strong. Edd tries to speak but all that comes out are whimpers and sobs, and I hold Edd tightly to my chest so he would try to calm down.

Minutes later, a nurse calls me and Edd over. She leads us to a room, where Ringo lays in hospital paper on a table, strapped up to cords and tubes. A heart moniter traces her heartbeat, and it's going very slowly.
Edd chokes back tears, and we turn to the nurse.
"What happened to this poor kitten?" She said, clutching her clipboard.
I tell her everything, but she stays there with a shocked expression.
"I'll...go get the doctor.." She said, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
The walls are white, and the floor is light brown wood. Moniters beeping is the only sound besides Edd's, mine, and Ringo's breathing.
Edd slowly walks over to Ringo, about to burst out into tears, but he holds back. Ringo looks up at Edd weakly, and starts to purr in a raspy tone. Edd flinches his hand slowly closer, but then stops. He's visabley shaking.
He covers his mouth and I walk over to him. As I get closer, I notice Edd's breathing is getting louder.
Edd is staring blankly at Ringo.
I take a glance at Ringo's heart moniter.

It has a single line going across, accompanied by a low hum.

Ringo was gone.

I turn to Edd, he's not moving, just staring blankly at her.
Then, he stumbles out of the room, sobbing.
I try to catch up with him, but he's already out the doors. I call out for a doctor, and send them to the room, and then run out to the parking lot.
"Edd!" I call out.
I can feel my heart racing.
"Edd!"
I look around, and then finally find Edd's car.
I run over to it, and stop at the door to catch my breath. I try to open the door, but it's locked.
I peer inside, and Edd is sobbing uncontrollably at the wheel.
I let go of the door handle and sit on the parking lot floor next to the car. I can hear Edd's sobbing, and it starts to break my heart.
"I'm so sorry.." I quietly whisper, my voice breaking.
My eyes well up with tears and I start to cry.
"E-Edd..this is all my fault.." I say a bit louder, hoping he can hear me.
"If it wasn't for me..bringing out that...that stupid game...then maybe Ringo wouldn't have died.." I start to tear up more.
"Ringo is gone because of me, Edd!" Tears pour out of my eyes, and I start to shout.
"You should hate me! Hate the person who killed your cat!"
I start to sob uncontrollably.
"H-Hate me..! I killed Ringo! *hic* j-just throw me out like *sob* t-the price of trash that I-I am!" I bury myself in my knees, crying.

What have I done..?

I am an awful person...

I don't deserve to live...

I sob louder and Edd opens his car door. I move out of his way, and he gets out, and looks down at me.
Both of us are crying.

"I-I...I-I'm so sorry *hic* E-Edd.."
I stand up, and then walk away from the parking lot.
"W-Where are you going?" Edd asks, pulling me back by my shirt.
I turn to him, tears streaming down my face.
I wipe my eyes and look at him with sorrow.
"I'm walking home, and getting my stuff.."
Edd wipes his eyes, and he looks at me confused, but his eyes keep watering up.
"Y-You can't leave me..!" Edd says, hugging tightly onto me, sobbing.
I'm figuring Edd didn't hear me..
"It was my fault Ringo died, Edd!"
I say shouting.
"You should hate me! I should hate myself!"
Edd clutches onto me, sobbing harder.
"I don't deserve to live if all I do is ruin your life!" My eyes well up with tears, but my arms are trapped by Edd, so I can't wipe my eyes.
"P-Please..." Edd says quietly, slouching down, and is now hugging my legs.

"D-Don't...leave me.." Edd starts to sob more.
I can feel his tears soaking through my shoes and getting my socks wet.

"Wh-what do you not understand about this?!" I sob.
I cover my face with my hands.
"Nothing about this makes sense!" I stare at the ground, and cover my mouth with both hands, and scream as loud as I can.
Tears stream down my face, Edd and I are uncontrollably crying.
"A-And it's not just t-that.." I continue weakly.
"I-I've always h-hated myself.."
I say weakly, and tears fall down into Edd's hair.
"I-I'm sorry.." I say, and start to ruffle up his hair.

"D-Don't worry about it.." Edd says, standing up, but still shaking.
"Just...d-don't worry about any
of t-this...*sniff* it's not your fault..."
Edd starts to wipe away his tears, and then looks directly into my eyes.
"I..."
Then, all of a sudden, a nurse runs out to the parking lot, telling us to come inside.
We rush in, and we follow her to the same room.
Ringo is strapped up to an oxygen tank, and the heart moniter is beeping again. Edd rushes over, but is stopped by the doctor.
"Hold up, she's not going to stay like this." He says, Edd looks confused and very sad.
"We could only temporarily bring her back, just enough time to say goodbye to her.."
Edd looks over at Ringo, his eyes wide, and he starts to tear up, but he wipes them away.
Edd crouches down to her eye level, and stares into her eyes.
Eyes once filled with wonder and life, now filled with sadness and pain.
Similar to Edd's eyes...

"R-Ringo..." Edd says, chocking back tears.
"This is the last time I'll ever see you...a-and...I just wanted to say..I-I love you, so...so much.."
Tears start to stream down Edd's face.
"I-I have no idea what it's going to be like when you're gone...and I'm really...r-really..."
Edd stops to wipe his tears.
"I'm really going to miss you.."
His hand reaches over to her head, and he starts petting her.
"I-I hope you had a good life...you...y-you don't deserve to die..."

Ringo starts purring quietly, and Edd rests his hand on her paws, holding them gently.
Laying on her side, Ringo manages to weakly give a final lick to Edd's hands.
"G-Goodbye, Ringo.." Edd says.

And the heart monitor's low hum fills the room.

Ringo was officially gone forever.
