Yuzuki felt like she was in heaven. This was the first time in her life anyone had been nice to her.

John put his smoothie down when he remembered Edie asked him what he wanted. "Sorry Edie, I was thinking when you asked me what I wanted but now I just remembered. What I wanted to tell you and I was going to tell Edward about it too, but back to what I was saying, I think it's wrong for people to pick on other people just because of their color or what they look like or what they wear. Like for example, when those bullies where picking on Yuzuki just because of what they thought of her, and I'm not saying this to hurt you Yuzuki, but Edward had the right mind to stick up for her. I mean that's what I would have done if I wasn't busy doing extra credit."

"You mean Edward will....john is too afraid of being sent to detention, since it prevrnts his extracirricular activites..." Edward said.
"And I don't want Edie or Yuzuki to get hurt." he added.

John stick his tongue at Edward before answering. "Actually, that's not true, I don't care if I get sent to detention if I knew what I did was right," he said before whispering in Yuzuki's ear, "Um, I didn't want to tell you what I feel about because I was shy and yet I'm still a little shy but here it goes anyway, I have a crush on you," he said before blushing as he sipped his smoothie while looking at the table.

((I'm assuming Edie and Edward just heard whispers))
A crush? On her? All of this was happening in one day... Yuzuki wondered if she was dreaming... She pinched herself, a little too hard.

"Of course I remember...." Edward said, his eyes glancing downward at the scar that rand down the middle of the back of his hand, and ran down to the middle of his arm.....
-----------------------------------------
flashback
"I'm going to Anthony's, Edward...." Edie stated.
"You know I don't trust him." Edward replied, sternly.
"What's the big deal between you two? You act like he's got a disease!!" Edie roared back. Edward maintained his calm composure.
"I just think he's going to hurt you...." Edward replied, a worried look on his face.
"I'll be fine. I've got my cell phone." Edie replied, happily. Edward nodded, and sighed.
"Alright then..." Edward replied.
----------------------
"Hello, Edie." Anthony said. He led her into his house. No one else was home, except him.
The two talked for a while. Eventually, Anthony asked her an odd question.
"May I see your cell phone? My parent's have this weird thing about 'no cell phone's in the house'" Anthony said. Edie, skeptically, pulled out her cell phone.
"Heh heh...." Anthony said. Then, he crushed it, with his bare hand.
"I'm in a gang now...Well, going to be in a gang." Anthony said, laughing as he said this. Edie's eyes went wide. This didn't sound good.
"And, to get in...i have to have a girl with me...So, I called the guy's here to witness my initiation..." Anthony said. Several people in all sorts of attire came out of the closet and hallway doors. Edie gasped. She realized what he was talking about.
Edie was standing next to the kitchen table, and she grabbed it, and threw her arms upward, flinging the table in front of her as a barricade. She turned, and bolted into the kitchen. Her shaky hands grabbed the phone. She frantically dialed Edward's number. It rang once. Twice. three times.
"PICK UP!!" she bellowed, sobbing as she screamed. Anthony was charging through the kitchen door like a bull on a rampage. She set the phone down, and turned to face Anthony. She aime da kick at him, and he flinched back, then charged in.
"'Hello?'"
"EDWARD!! HELP!!" Edie screamed from Anthony's grip. A hammer slammed into the phone, crushing it. Edward gasped.
"MOM!! I'M GOING OUT!!" Edward shouted, as he jumped out the window. Luckily, he was on the ground floor.
-----------------------------------------------
Edie was exhausted. For fifteen minutes, she had bit, kicked, screamed, and clawed around her to prevent any of the ten-odd men from getting to her. A few had knives, and had grazed her arms with them. Most of the men were afraid of her, but Anthony was not having this. "Grab her!!" He roared. Four men grabbed her arms and legs, as she tried kicking. she screamed, uselessly. Anthony started to remove her pants.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and the door hit the floor.
"911? Yes, I'm at 3119 19th Street....Yeah, there's gonna be...1....2....5....8....10 of them. Send an ambulance!" Edward said. He dropped the phone, and rushed forward. Anthony didn't let go of Edie, and so he was socked in the face. Two more jumped at Edward. His hand grabbed one by the arm, and swung him around into the other. Edward ran at another one, and slammed his head against the wall, breaking the plaster. Four left.
Edward tripped one, and grabbed the table off the floor, and through it at the other two. But, the last one got behind him, and ran his knife up Edward's arm.
"Ahh!!" Edward screamed, clutching his bleeding arm. The man rushed at him again, this time aiming for his neck. Edward raised his foot, and kicked the knife away, and then slammed his foot into the man's face.
----------------------------
"I'm sorry...." Edie murmured, as Edward supported her with his good arm.
"It's okay. Let's go home." Edward said. He had used his sleeve to creae a makeshift bandaged, but Edie was supporting him more than he was her.
End Flashback.
---------------------------------------------------------
"It's not your fault about that day, much as you think. Anthony was an idiot." Edward said.

Setting her drink down Edie sighed and sat back in the booth, "Still...you were right about him. I'm sorry." She leaned her head on Edward's shoulder, an old habit she had picked up when she was trying to gain forgiveness for something, but only with Edward.

John frowned when he heard Edward. "Ed, I'm sorry that I wasn't there to help you, but remember when I came by the hospital when I heard about it. I could have helped if I wasn't on vocation," he said as he squeezed his glass too hard.

((((Smoothie joints usually use plastic cups. At least on all the T.V. shows.....*doesn't have one here*)))
"It wasn't your fault....I didn't know they would use knives. I thought gangs only used those in the movies, and gangs aren't so bad here....." Edward said. He instinctively grabbed Edie's shoulder. She didn;t need his forgiveness.

[Insert clever/inspiring/funny phrase here]
After washing, Dee went and knocked on Lori's office door. "Come in, Dee." was the slightly muffled reply. Interesting how she could tell who it was by the distinct knocking. She stepping inside.
"What's up?" Lori asked, looking up from her paper work.
"I need to talk to you for a sec...If your not too busy..."
"Have a seat."
Obeying, she sat in the metal folding chair in front of the desk, and said, uneasily, "Uh, I was wondering...since my car broke down and all...if you could give me some overtime or a bonus or a raise or something...You know, to fix my car...please?" Dee knew it sounded pathetic, ecspecially for rehearsing it in her mind perhaps a hundred times, but she wasn't as confident in the follow through.
"Dee, as much as I'd like to help, you just don't need it as much as Pam."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't tell anyone, but her son has a brain tumor and needs surgury. In comparison, your car just doesn't seem so important.But the best way you could have enough to fix your car would be to get a part time job."
Deerda nodded, a guilty lump in her throat.
"Now, why don't you man the counter and tell Pam to clean the kitchen. I think she could use a change of scenery. Ok"
"Ok." She croaked, leaving.
"Hey, Pam, Lori wants us to switch stations. She wants the kitchen cleaned."She said shakily.
"Alright, thanks. My eyes were getting tired just doing basically nothing. Uh, are you ok?"
"Yeah, yeah. Go on, Pam."
When she was alone, relativly, she groaned and started banging her head on the counter.(but not so hard as to injure herself) "Poor Pam! She seems so tough. One would never suspect that anything was wrong with her life at all. Well, I feel like a selfish idiot now. Dang, this is a lose-lose situation! If I some how get my car fixed, I'll look like a jerk for not acting more concerned for Pam's son, but if I DON'T get my car fixed, I still have to walk to work... This bites! This bites! This bites! THIS BITES!" She thought, adding a few fist pounds at the end.

"John, you're a great friend, but I highly doubt that you would have gotten there in time to beat the ambulance." Edie smiled, wrinkling her nose cutely. She didn't feel like moving her head from Edward's shoulder just then, he was quite comfortable.
