Episode 39 3/14/05 Chapter 1 Edward manages to avoid Bradley for awhile and had a New Year�s Eve to remember! While out walking with Elizabeth they get into a serious conversation about things that are going on in their lives. Edward has lost Geri again, Bradley is up to something he knows, and he has not spent much time with his other friends. Elizabeth takes this all in and feels sorry for Edward. They stop on the Poplar Street Bridge where they see fireworks going off in the distance. "It must be midnight, the New Year." Edward says. Elizabeth agrees and gives Edward a kiss on the cheek. Edward stands in shock as the fireworks light up their faces. During the end of their walk, Elizabeth goes around a tree and comes back in the sidewalk to avoid a mud-puddle and slips on tough ice-like covered snow. Edward does not notice she fell until he hears her laughing. He turns around and asks what happened. Elizabeth explains what happened and Edward wants to make sure she did not hurt herself. She says she is fine and gets up. The walk back to Edward�s house and she drives home. Later that night, both get online and Edward tells her to watch out for mud-puddles from now on. Edward laughs and tells her he�s going to bed early tonight. He looks over to his bed and lets out a sigh. He imagines Geri waiting for him on the bed. Chapter 2 "I really have to move on. She�s left too many times for me to still think there�s a chance with her. I�ll call her tomorrow I think." One month later: Edward awakes from sleeping and goes downstairs for a cup of coffee and his mail. Geri has written him a letter. He opens it excitedly. He reads: "Dear Edward, I know we had our fun and it was such a blast hanging out, but there�s one thing on my mind that I have to tell you. I�ve found someone else since being back. I know you felt something for me and I thought you had a right to know. I thought for a moment that I liked you too, but your �friend� lied to me and it hurt me really badly. I don�t want to get involved with you because of what this person has done. It�s better that we just stay friends. I hope you understand. Love, Geri XOXO" Edward is upset and tears stream down his face calmly. Suddenly his sadness turns to anger! He calls Bradley and tells him that their friendship is off! Bradley tells him that he will be sorry he did this and hangs the phone up. Edward throws the phone across the room and it lands on the couch. "He�ll pay. I�ll be sure of that!" Edward says. Edward gets in the car and drives off. Chapter 3 Edward drives through town on the cruising lap. After the third time he says, "This is stupid. What the hell am I doing?" He goes by Bradley�s and slows down. He sees Bradley in the living room window. Bradley notices him and Edward drives off, speeding off like crazy! His tires spin out and cause a loud squeal. Bradley�s mother asks him what the noise was and he answers her with a shrug. Edward drives off to Kate�s. He knocks on the door and she invites him in. He does not accept. He tells her to come outside with him so they can talk. She gets her coat and shoes on. They go for a short walk. "I need to know what you did so I can get past this now. Bradley is threatening me with you and I won�t have it. I want to know what you did and why it will ruin our friendship! Tell me now, please!" Edward demands. Kate stops in her tracks. She is surprised that Edward demands that she tell him. "First I want to know what pushed you to make Bradley finally get to you?" Kate asks. "He lied about Geri�s mother being dead. She left for home because she was told that her mother died. He is a jerk and I hate him! He made me lose Geri for good!" he says. Kate consoles Edward by giving him a hug. He pushes her away. "I want to know what you did." he says. Chapter 4 "How can I ever tell you what I did without our friendship being over. I did it out of jealous rage. I�m sorry, so sorry. I never thought I�d do it. He made me do it." Kate says as she begins to cry. Edward begins to walk away, as he grows impatient. Kate runs to catch up to Edward. She grabs his arm to turn him around. He sighs and looks down then in her eyes. "Listen, I didn�t want to know why you did it or who made you do it. I just want to know what you did. I realize Bradley is a jerk and he deserves a lot less from everyone. He�s no longer a friend of mine and if you want to be friends with the creep that�s your prerogative. I won�t associate with him anymore after this; I�m done. I had it up to here with him!" Edward says. Kate listens as Edward continues, "What you�ve done cannot be any worse than what he did to me this past year. He wants to be my boyfriend, even if I�m not gay. Then he makes the love of my life leave me and she ends up finding someone else. How can this be any worse? We are adults. You are graduating this year. So are Victoria, Bradley, Chrissy, and Reid. My goodness, just tell me what you did, please." Kate picks her head up with tears streaming down her face she lets out the blackmail that Bradley has been holding over her for so long. "I was the one that terrorized Elizabeth�s car," she says.

	E 35-Chapter III Edward gets a good night sleep and wakes up refreshed. Geri is along side him and she asks if he is ready for today. He answers that he is never ready for anything, but it is going to happen whether or not he is ready. He gets a shower and gets dressed. Geri stays in bed for a little while and then gets up and goes over to his video movie collection. She takes out Spice World. She sees that he has the movie and decides to put it in the VCR and watches it. She watches the beginning and suddenly Edward comes into the bedroom, his hair still wet, shakes his hair all over her. Geri jumps up and pulls Edward down on the bed with her. He notices the movie and says that he wishes that Geri had stayed in the group a little longer. �Just a month or two. The month of May 1998 was a hard month for me. My first serious girlfriend dumped me and it hurt so much that I lost you both after a few months of being with her and listening to you guys.� He looks at her and she looks at him. He continues, �I understand the reason why you left so I don�t hate you for leaving. You just could have waited a few months before deciding you were leaving. You hate me so much.� He laughs at her and she looks very unhappy with him. He says that it is about time to go to Texas Hots to see Bradley. He asks Geri if she would be his guest for his truth. She thinks about it and declines. He asks why she doesn�t want to go with. She retorts that she hasn�t spent all that much time with him to know whether these stories are true or not. He leaves the room upset and calls Elizabeth to see if she will go. She says that she has no way to get into town and that she could not make it even if she tried because she has something else to do. Edward tells her it was nothing important and it is all right if she can�t go. He hangs up and goes out the door into the vehicle and arrives at Texas Hots. Chapter IV Once at Texas Hots he looks around to find Bradley. He is not there. Edward finds a booth and sits down. A waitress comes up to him to take his order. Edward orders two hot dogs with everything and one order of Texas Fries and a chocolate milkshake. The waitress brings his milkshake and he takes a sip of it through his straw. Suddenly he looks out the window and to his surprise Bradley walks by as if he was heading somewhere else. Edward gets up and walks out the door. Bradley is no where to be found outside. Edward turns around and heads back in. A little later Edward�s food arrives. Edward takes a bite of his hot dog and Bradley comes waltzing around the corner with a friend who supposedly believes him. To Edward�s surprise it is none other then Kate. While Edward was in Erie, Bradley and Kate have gotten closer and teamed up against Edward. Kate is furious with Edward for leaving her for his other friends and this way she is getting him back. However, she had no idea things would go as far as they did. Both people sit down and order their meals. Edward asks them if they want a French fry. Both say �No thank you.� Edward cuts to the quick and asks Kate what she�s doing here. Bradley tells Edward that he told him to bring someone who believed him. Edward says he knows that, but why he brought Kate is beyond anything logical. Edward was hoping Bradley would bring a family member or someone close to Bradley so if he could convince him or her that nothing happened, things would look better. Kate has no control over Bradley like his parents would have. Perhaps Edward will have a talk with one of his parents later. Geri leaves! Episode 36 Chapter I Edward, Kate, and Bradley are still at Texas Hots. Edward tells Kate his side of the story and then tells Bradley to tell his side of the story and see whom she believes. Edward tells Kate of the blackmail, which has happened, and obviously Bradley and Edward aren�t together so it�s obvious that Edward is telling the truth. Bradley gets a chance to speak and tells the story a little differently. He puts in the little fake details that Edward didn�t put in. He tells her how Edward was all over him in the pool and that Bradley had to get out and get away from him. Then, during the movie Bradley was the one that was trying to watch the movie, not Edward! Edward tells Kate that he is lying. �He totally took the truth and flopped it. Don�t you see! He�s jealous cause he can�t have me or something so he�s ruining my life.� Kate tells Edward to lighten up. Bradley sits there sipping his drink through his straw. The waitress walks by and Bradley asks for a chocolate milkshake with two straws. Edward thinks the two straws are for him and Kate. When the milkshake arrives he tells Edward to share it with him. Edward stands up. Bradley stands up also. He grabs Bradley�s pant�s waistline and puts the milkshake down it. �Tell your hormones to chill out.� He says and walks away to the register to pay the check. Chapter II Edward returns home to find another surprise. Suit cases are packed and sitting out on the front step. He runs inside to find Geri getting things together to leave. He is very worried and wants to know what is going on. Geri replies, �It�s a long story. I got a telegram in the mail and it said my mother died recently and I have to go home to help my family with things.� Edward asks if he can go with. She tells him that he can�t go. He asks why and she gives him reasons that he understands. She reminds him that he is not her boyfriend and Edward gets upset and tells her that he wishes he was and at times it seems like that is the case, but he must have been mistaken. He tells her to leave. Geri looks at Edward and asks him �Is that what you want?� Edward shakes his head and says, �But that isn�t what you want so leave.� Geri starts to cry. �My mother just died. Don�t you do this to me now.� She starts to cry. Edward tells her that is not the case. Edward runs upstairs and goes to cry on his bed. Just when things looked good for Edward in the relationship department it all falls apart. He hears the front door close and he goes to the window. He sees her pack her stuff up in the trunk and drive off. He runs down stairs and out the door. �Goodbye� he yells, �Goodbye.� He says softer. He stands in the street then sits on the curb and cries. However, what Edward and Geri do not know is that Geri�s mother is perfectly safe and alive! Someone has made Geri leave and break Edward�s heart.

		Episode 37 12/17/04 E37 Chapter 1(Recount from what was lost off of my floppy disk from Thursday Dec. 14, 2004): Edward BoJangles was found guilty of a court case that took place in one episode. His sentence was very lenient because the judge found out that Jay was just after money and attention. WLMI covered the whole court case with extra comments from the community. Edward had called in twice after a nasty caller had made him feel bad because he is supposedly gay. Bradley has since stopped with the newspaper articles. Edward talked to Bradley over MSN Messenger and e-mail before Edward demanded Bradley tell him what he meant by �his friends are not what they seemed and if he had anything to do with Geri leaving. Edward tells Bradley he�s going to bed when in fact he goes out for a run after walking with Elizabeth and finds himself in a predicament. He went out for a run and found himself having a chat with a drunken man. This drunken man finally realizes that who he has been talking to, the gay celebrity in Kane. While in the Subway parking lot, a red truck picks Edward up, saving him from the drunk stranger. Bradley saves Edward and takes him home. Edward goes to sleep, crying. Chapter 2 Edward misses Geri very much. Geri left because of her mother supposedly dying. However, someone has sent the telegram instead of anyone from Geri�s family. Her mother is very much alive and well living at home. Edward wakes up and calls Kate. He wants to hang out with her and find out what Bradley knows. Perhaps she knows and can tell him. She tells him she is busy, but can have dinner with him later. He accepts and tells her to meet him at his house at five. Edward takes a lonely shower and gets in his car for a quick trip to Bradford for Christmas shopping. He picks up gifts for everyone he can think of before going back home. He takes his gifts inside and looks at the clock. It�s quarter till five o�clock. He has just enough time to take his gifts to his room and get ready for dinner. He waits for Kate who arrives just on time. He takes her to Pepe�s Pizzeria uptown. They talk about Bradley and Kate seems worried when they talk about Bradley. He asks her if everything is okay. She answers hesitantly with a no. �I�d just not talk about him.� Edward asks why. She tells him, �He�s blackmailing me. It�s awful. He knows what horrible things I�ve done. If he tells anyone I could be in deep trouble.� Edward is curious about what she is talking about, but lets the subject die down till they get back in the car. Edward brings it up and tells her that he is her friend and wants to know what Bradley wants from her in return. She tells him that whatever he wants her to do she must do. Behind Edward�s car, Bradley in his red truck follows them and flashes them to pull over so they can talk. Edward does so. Chapter 3 Bradley gets out of the truck and walks over to Kate�s window. Kate rolls the window down; she is scared to death. Edward welcomes Bradley saying hello. Bradley looks at Kate and says hello very strangely. Edward asks what Bradley wants. He jokingly says that he wants Edward, but then says that he just wanted to say hello to his friends. Edward tells him that he has to go and rolls up the window not waiting for a good bye from Bradley. Bradley walks away back to his truck. Kate puts her hand on his arm and thanks him. �Listen, you�re a friend. I would never ever let Bradley hurt you or any one without a fight. This guy is starting to get on my nerves. Maybe I need some time away from home?� Kate tells Edward he cannot leave Kane or Bradley is sure to let the blackmail out. Kate invites Edward over and he accepts. Edward pulls out and so does Bradley. Bradley follows them back to Kate�s house. Edward gets out of the car and pushes Bradley back in his truck. �Put your seat belt back on and go home, Bradley.� Edward says. Bradley puts his seat belt back on. Kate comes over and he tells her to watch out because she has to be careful of what she does. He drives away furiously. Edward takes Kate in his left arm and gives her a peck on the forehead. Kate�s mother opened the front door as she heard Bradley drive away furiously. �Is everything okay?� she asks. Kate tells her mother that everything is fine and all three go inside. Chapter 4 It�s really cold outside and warm inside. Kate�s family is decorating the tree. Kate�s sister is not helping because she thinks it is boring and wants to do something else. Edward helps out and they have fun. Kate offers Edward a drink and Edward tells her he doesn�t want a drink. Kate tells him he is going to have a drink and tells him to join her in the kitchen. Edward follows. �Listen, I can�t keep this inside. What I�ve done will ruin our friendship sad to say. If I had a chance to do it over again I wouldn�t. How did Bradley catch me? Anyway, listen, I want you to go home and don�t talk to me for a while. I can�t tell you what I�ve done because it will cost us our friendship and probably some money in fines.� �What have you done that will cost you our friendship? If it will cost you fines, it�s definitely serious. Will you please tell me?� he says. She tells him he should go home now. He leaves and arrives home to his mother decorating their tree. Edward pulls out the family ornaments and finds some personalized family ones. He puts them on the tree close together. His mother catches him and tells him to take them down now! Edward looks at her concerned. Episode 38 12/28/2004 Chapter 1 Edward looks at his mother and asks her why she wants to decorations down. She tells him that they make her sad. They were gifts from the Thompson�s next door. Each decoration has the year and names of all the family members. �But mom, it�s Christmas, it�s supposed to be a great time for family and friends.� Edward tells his mother. She says she knows what Christmas is about and tells him to hurry up to get ready for the Christmas Eve service. He gets ready. Tonight he will toll the midnight hour with the bell group at his church. Elizabeth will also be ringing in this bell group. He will give his present to her after the service. Edward�s mother doesn�t go to church with him, but listens to the service over the radio. Edward walks into the church and feels out of place. He has not been to a church service in over a year. His last time at church was at Christmas Eve 2003. He hopes this service will brighten his spirituality. He feels like he is lacking in the spirituality part of his life more than anything now. A few people greet him as he continues to the sanctuary. He finds Elizabeth and another friend that he graduated school from. They sit and listen to the service. A few times the congregation stands to sing a carol and then sit back down. The congregation is to sing �O� Holy Night� and then sit down to say something, then stand right back up to sing another carol. Elizabeth whispers to Edward, �What�s up with all this sitting and standing? Can�t they make up their minds?� Edward chuckles and a few people turn their heads. Pastor River coughs to get the attention back on himself as he looks at Edward. Edward lips the word �Sorry� and the service continues. Chapter 2 It is time for the bell ringers to get ready to toll the midnight hour. Edward, Elizabeth, and the rest of the bell ringers are going to their spots. Beside Edward is Thomas! Thomas says something to Edward, but he doesn�t hear what he says. Edward says hello. He is shocked that Thomas is one hundred percent better. Suddenly they must start ringing. The congregation sings �Joy to the World� and lifts their lit candles in the darkened sanctuary while the bell ringers continue ringing. After they are finished ringing and the service is over, Edward and Elizabeth go to the chapel next to the sanctuary. Edward picks up his gift and hands it to her. She says that she can open it in her dad�s truck she brought instead of the car because of the roads. Edward and Elizabeth get suited up to go out in the cold weather. Edward looks up and notices that the sky is really clear. Elizabeth tells him they should go walking. Edward tells her he�s up to it. They get to the truck and she opens her gift. Edward got her a �Bull Terrier� dog from the �Artlist Collection� where the dogs have big heads and small bodies. Edward tells her that he named him �Baxter� after she had gotten a bull terrier as another family pet a while ago. Elizabeth thanks Edward and tells him to go and she will follow him to his house. They arrive to his house and start walking immediately. During their walk they talk about the service and a few other things. �Was the message of the service supposed to be �People Smelled� or something? Geeze, all Pastor River talked about was how everything must have smelled so bad. I don�t get it. Then he talked about how a Christ is the only thing constant and never changing. But then he talked about tuning forks? I don�t get it.� Elizabeth tells Edward she was about to fall asleep because she couldn�t follow what he was saying. Both laugh and say they are getting cold so they make this walk a super short walk. Chapter 3 Elizabeth goes home and Edward goes inside and gets ready for bed. He thinks about what a sad Christmas this will be. The service was supposed to bring back his spirituality, but it hasn�t. He feels abandoned by faith. He goes to sleep saying a prayer about bringing back his spirituality and feeling that church is a good thing. He goes to sleep and wakes up on Christmas morning. Under the tree there are few presents and his little brother, Curtis, is excited to open presents. Ten minutes later the presents are all unwrapped and Curtis complains about how horrible things are. Edward goes out to the kitchen and speaks with his mother. She tells him that money was tight this year and that things just were not the greatest. Edward asks her why she didn�t ask him for money. She tells him that it is not his responsibility to supply the money for the family. He tells her that he would not take the responsibility of buying everything, �I just could�ve helped.� His little brother continues to complain. Edward says he�s had enough and goes out for a drive in the gold explorer. He drives by Kate�s house and sees her getting ready to leave with her family to her grandmothers. He pulls over and rolls down the window so they can talk. She tells him that she is just about to leave. Edward knows this and says he just wanted to wish her a Merry Christmas. She says the same and starts to walk toward the family car. She stops and turns around halfway and runs back to Edward�s car. She tells him to go see Bradley. �Bradley wanted me to tell you that he wants to see you today when you get the chance. He�ll be home all day today. He�s really a nice guy, give him the chance just to be friends again.� Edward caves in because of the holiday spirit and says he�ll go see Bradley. Edward gives Kate her gift. Kate leaves and Edward pulls off. He goes to Bradley�s house and parks in the driveway. Chapter 4 Edward sits in the driveway unsure of what to do. He turns off the car and looks up in the living room window. Bradley appears out of the basement door and Edward steps out of the car. �Okay Bradley, what did you want?� Edward says. �And Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you too, Edward.� Bradley says. Edward says that he�s sorry and that he wishes Bradley a merry Christmas and a happy new year as well. Bradley hugs Edward and tells him it is okay. Edward pulls Bradley off with a little force. �Now, can we get to business? Kate told me you wanted to see me.� he tells him. Bradley explains to Edward what his Christmas wish is for this year. �I want to spend it with someone special. I�m giving up on you. I want you to know that I love you and always will. I would like to spend the holidays with you, but I know that I can�t. You won�t let me near you. I�m actually surprised you came to see me today. Anyway, you don�t have to stay that long, but I just wanted to give you your gift. You may have not given me anything, but I don�t care.� Bradley hands a package over to Edward. Edward unwraps it to find a stuffed animal of an eagle and a box of chocolates. Edward thanks him and puts out his hand to shake. Bradley looks at Edward a little disappointed. �You don�t trust me enough to hug me yet?� Bradley asks. Edward caves and says that he will hug Bradley if that is what he wants this time. Bradley says, �It�s not what I want now.� He folds his arms and turns to the side. Edward asks him what he wants now and Bradley just shakes his head. Edward grabs Bradley and gives him a hug. Bradley doesn�t hug back. A few seconds later Bradley loosens up and hugs Edward back; however, he is hiding a very evil grin.
