A/N: This is my first fanfic! I hope you like it. It's predominantly about Simon, although Lucy, Kevin, Ruthie, Eric, Annie and the twins will be featured. Mary will be away as she almost always is on the show. I just can't stand to put much of Matt in because it really annoys me (more like breaks my heart!) that he and Sarah broke up! This first chapter is kind of like an introduction. By the way, I don't know which high school Simon goes to so I'm calling his school Glen Oak High.

Disclaimer: I don't own 7th Heaven.

As the bell echoed throughout the bustling halls of Glen Oak High one sultry afternoon, cheers resounded throughout the crowded corridors. Christmas break had begun! Many a smile were upon the faces of the students as they jubilantly made plans to meet or just hang out outside of the formal classroom setting. But a smile was missing on the face of Simon Camden, usually one of the most easygoing and cheerful students. His best friend, James, was quick to notice this.

"Hey Man!" he exclaimed, slapping Simon on the back. "What's up with you?"

Simon looked at his friend and sighed. "Nothing really, Life just seems to pass me by, you know?"

"That's deep!" James exclaimed, wondering what was up with the unusually pensive Simon.

Kevin Kinkirk tightened his arms around the waist of his wife, Lucy and started to kiss her deeply. Eventually, Lucy's hands found their way around Kevin's neck. The couple continued in their intimate acts until Lucy's younger brother Simon Camden slammed into the kitchen, the two had used as a "make-out place".

"Cut it out, already." Simon interrupted them, muttering. "Some of us are getting tired of your constant public displays of affection. That's why you have the garage apartment, you know."

Lucy looked shocked at her brother; he had never spoken to her this way before. "Simon, I'm sorry, But I wasn't aware that kissing offends you so much. You do know that I'm not doing anything even remotely indecent. After all, we were only kissing and we are married. Which is more than I can say for you and Cecelia." She reminded him, getting out of Kevin's arms.

"Just forget it, Luce." He said ignoring her remark about him and Cecelia. Hardly anyone mentioned her in relation to him, ever since they had broken up. Besides that, he was getting guilty that he had snapped at his sister. It wasn't her fault he was in such a rotten mood. Moreover, she was right; she wasn't doing anything the slightest bit immoral or indecent. It was just that at the moment, he couldn't bare the sight of seeing so much happy couples. It seemed like everyone had a special someone or a partner. Everyone that is, except for him.

Lucy, being quite sensitive herself, picked up on Simon's foul mood immediately, and began to suspect that it wasn't merely her PDA that bothered him. "Simon, are you ok? Is there something wrong" She asked him gently.

"No, Luce." Simon sighed. "Everything's perfect. Just perfect." He walked out of the kitchen.

Lucy turned to Kevin again. "I detected a touch of bitterness in him. He's been a bit depressed lately. Did you notice?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah I did." Kevin admitted. "but don't worry its probably just teenaged angst. Hormones and all that."

"I don't know." Lucy commented. "Matt, Mary and I never seemed to go through that phase."

"What do you mean, Luce? You're still going through your 'I hate the world' phase." Kevin teased, trying to make her forget her worries."

Lucy frowned. "I'm serious, Kevin, something's wrong with him. And I don't know if it's just teenaged angst like you said."

Simon stared blankly at the walls thinking... Maybe he should call. Maybe he should do something. He wondered why he couldn't just live without... Why it hurt so much...

Must you taunt me?

You can't possibly know my agony

Such raw wounds, constantly bleeding

The injustice leaves me miserably seething

A/N: What's wrong with Simon? What does he have against PDA? He seemed to indulge in it quite a lot with Cecelia. Review if you want to find out!
