Ed stared down at Isabella’s lifeless body how dare she call Oswald that he wasn’t in love with Edward he couldn’t love him he was too disgusting. She kept saying that Oswald was so weak looking and a bother and that he was so stupid to think he could have Edward. It made him angry that she could so easily belittle a man who had been through so much to just get to this point in his just so he could be gossiped about by some woman who had barely been in their life for what two days. He looked at her body as he remembered her bitter words. He was glad he was able to see her life slowly drain out of her body when he gripped hold of her neck. He reached for his keys and picked them up. As he turned on the car he popped the trunk open and went inside for Isabella.

He drove home with Isabella in the trunk. He kept reliving the moments where she called Oswald those horrendous names and would wrap her arms around him. It disgusted him. As he parked along the driveway he knew he’d have to tell Oswald what happened but perhaps not the parts when Isabella said Oswald was supposedly in love with him. It would be best not to discuss his own feelings towards Oswald at least not now after killing Isabella. He shook his head trying to rid of himself of those thoughts and opened the car door.

“Oswald are you awake” he questioned loudly throughout the house as he walked inside hoping that Oswald was still awake. “In he-here Eddie” Oswald said his voice sending a strange feeling inside Ed’s body . Ed walked in the office to see Oswald with one and a half empty bottles of whiskey. “I-I thou-thought you were with Isabel to-night” he sounded as bitter as a drunken man could sound. Ed looked away nervously. Oswald must’ve noticed something wrong with him because as soon he looked away Oswald grabbed his hand and whispered “What’s wrong”. It sent a short shiver down Eds back as he felt the soothing touch and heard Oswalds sweet and tender voice.

“I killed her” it came out so soft he hoped that Oswald hadn’t even heard him. He could feel his stare piercing his skin. “Ed wha-why” he said looking extremely shocked “You you lov-were fond of her how why” he kept stuttering. Ed wanted him to stop talking. For him to just help. Just help him. He covered his face “I’m sorry Oswald I never meant for it to happen b-but sh-she” he didn’t know when he started to cry but now here he as sobbing in Oswald’s arms. Oswald was hushing him and whispering reassuring words into his ear as he continued to sob. “Just tell me why ok Ed I can fix this if you tell me why”he whispered softly into his ear making him slowly stop his crying. “She was just she kept ridiculing you I know it’s stupid but you’ve done so much for me I just got so angry that she kept saying those things and I just snapped” he looked down as he said the final words revealing the truth.

He felt Oswald’s soft hand against his face and he melted into him. He could have stayed there forever. But in Gotham nothing good ever truly lasts
