Eddie Langston

**Edward 'Eddie' Langston** is a main protagonist in Inevitable. He is portrayed by Jay Baruchel.

## Background

Eddie grew up as the only child in a loving home, with his parents Jack and Betty. He was often described by teachers as being a "mischievous and sometimes disruptive" child. He never got super good grades, but not from a lack of trying. Eddie was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 12.

He met his best friend Mike in fifth grade when Mike moved to his primary school. They made a pact to go to the same high school so they could still hang out, as Mike's mother was strict about letting them hang out outside of school.

In high school, Eddie met Grace, a girl who immediately caught both his and Mike's attention. The two had never had a single argument until meeting Grace, and then it seemed like every other week the two were at each other's throats. Eventually, Grace began to reciprocate Eddie's feelings, and the two began dating. They got engaged on Grace's 35th birthday.

## Personality

Eddie is an impulsive, forgetful and occasionally narcissistic man. However, despite his flaws, Eddie is honest, loyal and thoughtful, when he remembers. He has expressed that he finds it hard to see when he is in the wrong, and can't always tell how others are feeling. Eddie isn't extremely affectionate, but always tries his best to make people feel better, especially if he is the reason they are upset.

Eddie has ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).

## Relationships

### Romantic

* Grace O'Malley

Grace O'Malley is Eddie's ex-fiancée. The two of them fell in love in high school, and were together for 12 years. They never had the healthiest relationship, despite being head over heels for each other. When Eddie disappeared, Grace never gave up hope that he would come home, but when he was presumed dead, she decided it was time to grieve and move on. When he returned, Eddie begged for her forgiveness, to no avail. The pair could hardly be in a room without fighting, which only got worse once Grace started dating Oscar Hamilton. Eddie confesses to Grace every now and then that no matter how hard he tries, his feelings for her refuse to leave, but he lets her be happy, because seeing her happy is all he wants. Even if it's not with him.

### Family

* Jack Langston
* Betty Langston

### Friendships

* Mike Reyes

Mike Reyes is Eddie's best friend. Although at times they can be rivals more than friends, Eddie absolutely treasures his friendship with Mike. Mike was the first person to truly listen to Eddie when he spoke, and Eddie was the first person who didn't let Mike's home situation affect their friendship. The biggest rift in their friendship is their mutual feelings for Grace, and Mike's inferiority complex towards Eddie. They do work well as a team however, often able to figure things out easier than they would've on their own. Mike keeps Eddie focused, which is important with Eddie's ADHD. Although they sometimes can't stand each other, Mike and Eddie keep each other close.

* Zeke Caine

Zeke Caine is Eddie's friend. Zeke helped Eddie stay alive and avoid The Inevitable after he was targeted. Eddie has more faith in Zeke than the rest of the group does, trusting him to help them out instead of hurt them, and most of the time, Zeke comes through for him. When Zeke betrays them, Eddie is destroyed by it. He tries to act as a sort of mentor for Zeke, even though he is completely unqualified to do so. Zeke feels a great amount of shame when Eddie is disappointed into him, and wants to make him proud, almost as if Eddie is a father figure to him. Both have saved each other from The Leader and The Inevitable on multiple occasions.
