Kevin Anderson had a lot of patience and understanding, he was the kind of person who was difficult to make it cry or give up at any situation. He had a dirty mouth and a volatile temperament but he was really friendly and kind with others in general. If he had been an athlete probably he had been popular and accepted, but he was a nerd, a nerd with a fascination with robots and mechanic stuff, so naturally he was bullied to no end. He was strong, he always had something to say, he never let his bulliess to take him down, he was patient, persistent, true with himself and stubborn as a mule. But he was a human, humans has limits, and he reached his limit.
Kevin Anderson hides a secret behind his eternal smile and optimism. A suicidal and dramatic personality, a silent one. He tried hard to hide it, to control it, but sometimes he wasn't that strong. He cried a lot in the darkness and cut himself in secret. He didn't want to ruin his parents happiness, or bother anyone at all with his stupid problems, that's why he always smiled, that's why he was always fighting, that's why he was so strong. But not that day.
It wasn't the first time that his bullies beat him up that hard, it wasn't the first time to be humiliated and embarrassed in front of everyone in his school, but it was the first time he cried in front of them. Weak. Of course that was the sweet for his bullies, a single tear and they wanted more, specially from him, the hardest one to break. He won't give them the satisfaction, so he run. He run to home.
One of them run after him. The worst, the one who hated him the most.
Eddward Vincent.
A punk, intelligent, arrogant, strong and probably with mental problems, or that was what everyone thought, there wasn't any other explanation for his obsession with torturing others, specially Kevin. Eddward really ENJOYED torture him in any way, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and even sexually touching him in inappropriate ways and places. Make Kevin cry was his goal and he wanted more.
Kevin was fast, so does he. It was late in the afternoon when the light was red, just an hour more and school will end, that's why the streets were empty and the children were already out. For the teens was strange to be out that early that's why a lot of curious looks followed them until a group of houses in a cul-de-sac where Kevin disappeared behind one. Without fear Eddward followed him and knock the door knowing his parents won't be there.
"Open up, Pumpkin! I know you are there, I saw you in. " warned Eddward with his terrifying, arrogant and mocking voice.
He heard some noises from the inside and he couldn't believe that Kevin were so naive to actually open the door, almost stupid. But when the door opened up he didn't see the small teen, in his place a taller and bigger teen was looking at him confused and annoyed.
"What do you want dork?" He had red or better say orange hair similar to the little Pumpkin, a similar red hat but put it backwards and a pair of intense green eyes. His presence was strong and dominant, with his height and muscles of athlete one could get easily intimidated. And for a moment Eddward was.
"I… I'm looking for Kevin." He had lost all the cockiness, but more than intimidated he was surprised. He was sure that Kevin was a only child.
"I'm Kevin, but for your face I think I'm not the Kevin you are looking for. " a mocking smile appeared on his face when Eddward was more than confused and starting to think that it was joke. "He's not here. Still at school." And he started to close the door.
"don't fuck with me, I saw him in. " Eddward usually didn't use such language to express himself but in presence of the jock he feel the need to do it to look more dominant. It worked but the other teen was now pissed off and with a dangerous move he got out of his house ready to hit him.
"Listen, Dork, I would know if my brother is here. The only one who interrupted my game was you!" The taller one yelled a little. Eddward knew it would be better not provoke him more so he lowered his voice and calmly he repeat.
"I saw him in at this house." But thinking it twice, how wise was to find him now? His big brother was already pissed and he didn't know how fond was of his brother. If he had lucky this Kevin were another bully like him. If not he was so dead.
"oh, really? Are you saying he entered using the back door and not the front door like he usually do?" Kevin changed his expression and started to connect dots. It wouldn't be the first time that little Kevin used the back door to avoid him, usually to hide his beaten face or to be alone in the garage, both of times not good and now it was better to find him immediately. Kevin looked at the eye to the other teen, his presence and his first attitude had more sense now. There was few people that dared to talk him that way and in his own house. This boy obviously didn't know who he was but knew so well to his brother so… He was the responsible if something was wrong with his brother.
Before Eddward could even think an answer he felt a strong hand around his neck. And with a guttural and dangerous voice Kevin told him "For your own good he better not be there" incapable of moving by his own, Kevin lead Eddward like a dog into his house by the back door. Eddward was wordless, a little terrified and worried for his safety. But he didn't have any option more than obey.
At the backyard there was this garage made of wood separated from the house. At that time the sun was almost totally gone but it was evident that inside this garage was dark, still was well closed apparently from the inside.
"Kev! Are you there? Open up! " big Kevin started to demand while knocking the door obviously closed. Of course he was there, you didn't need to be Sherlock to know it, still there was no response at all, like there was no one there. "Kev! I'm serious, open up now! I know you are there, someone saw you and is here with me!" He knocked the door louder. A moment of silence and then…
"go away " a weak voice came from the inside. Big Kevin tried to open the door but it was locked. "Leave me alone!" Yelled the other with a shaking voice. With Eddward's neck in one hand it was difficult to do something so he dragged him to the ground like a dog and in a whisper Kevin said at his ear "move and you're dead"
Eddward felt Kevin's hand leave his neck and could breath again normally. He thought in run away but he was incapable of even make a move. He didn't know what was going on, both brothers still yelling and big Kevin trying to force the lock while extremely pale. He was scared and worried, but why? Shaking a little he moved a little to see better, but big Kevin saw him and with a deadly look he growl at him "Stay!" And Eddward freeze at his place. That very moment Kevin kick the door with all his strength and the door opened up. The interior was dark but Kevin found the light fast.
If Eddward wasn't pale from the fear now he was from the impression. Little Kevin was in a corner with endless tears coming out from his eyes, his face all beaten up thanks to him, and a lot of blood around him, a knife in his hands. Of course it was his own blood, of course he did it himself. The most terrifying look in his eyes. Defeat.
Big Kevin run to him and for his surprise he slapped him loudly in the face. He took the knife away and while he called 911 he was making a tourniquet to stop the blood. They didn't say a word at each other. Eddward was still out without moving, not knowing what to do, what to say or what to think. It was his fault, he didn't know little Kevin could get this far, he could have died and it was his fault.
The ambulance arrived and took both brothers to the hospital after checking the wound and the amount of blood little Kevin had loss. Eddward stayed there in shock, in the same position for hours not daring to move a bit.
He could have died, and it was his fault. A date didn't worth that. His heart didn't worth his life. He went too far. He didn't mean to get this far, he only wanted to make him cry and regret what he did. He only wanted an apologize not his blood, not his life. "What I have done?"
Kevin Anderson was his crush. Kevin Anderson was cruel and heartless. Kevin Anderson was clueless and emotionally unstable. Kevin Anderson cut himself because of Eddward. Kevin Anderson was gone?
