Chapter 2

The little boy sat in the room alone playing with his toys till the door opened he looked back to see his father enter the room.

"Come Eddie it's time to play with daddy." He smiled taking him by his hand leading him into the room closing the door behind him. Eddie shot his eyes open waking up from his nightmare he laid in bed as the sweat trickled down his face his chest rising and falling. Eddie sat up in bed covering his face with his hand.


Eddie stood in the shower watching the water spiral down the drain he seemed to be in some trance till the knocking on the door snapped him back.

"Eddie? Is everything alright?" Waylon asked Eddie stood in the shower looking back at the door.

"Y-yeah I'll be out in a bit…." Eddie replied stopping the water. Eddie grabbed the towel wrapping it around his waist he slicked his black hair back. He wiped the mirror clean looking at his reflection. He shook his head opening the bathroom door to see Waylon standing there.

"Y-you were in there for a while…." Waylon commented with a frown.

"Just lost track of time is all." Eddie replied walking passed Waylon to the bedroom Waylon stood watching him.

"I'm heading off to class now!" Waylon informed Eddie said nothing entering the room. Waylon stood and adjusted his messenger bag leaving their apartment.


Waylon sat in the class room not really paying attention to the lecture his professor was giving he was too pre-occupied with Eddie's odd behavior.

"He's been acting strange lately… Did something happen?" Waylon wonder he sighed looking down at his notebook.

"He usually tells me of things that happen at his shop… maybe something really bad did happen and he doesn't want to tell me…"

"An unhappy customer?" Waylon wondered trying to think of what could have put his lover in a bad mood.


Eddie stood in the back room of his shop working on the dress till the bells chimed signaling he had a customer. Eddie rose to his feet he seemed to be out of it.

"Welcome…" Eddie greeted looking up to see the hooded man his hands in pocket, he was clear trouble but Eddie didn't seem to react to the danger in front of him.

"Money now!" He demanded pulling the knife out walking to Eddie grabbing him by his collar of his shirt.

"I'm not playing around!" He yelled throwing a punch Eddie stumbled back his cheek stinging from the hit.

"You want to get hurt!?" He asked reaching for him.

"If you don't want it to hurt then stop fighting Eddie!" the voice echoed in his head this sent shivers down Eddie's spin forcing him to remember his childhood. Without thinking Eddie shot his hand out stopping him.

"The fuck!?" The man asked trying to free his arm.

"Let go!" He yelled bringing his free hand down only to be caught as well by Eddie.

"Filth… " Eddie mumbled.

"You're filthy…." Eddie added looking up at the man looking at him with insane eyes, the man froze beginning to feel the fear buildup in him.

"H-hey man…" He spoke only to freeze to feel the blade pierce him. It happened all too sudden he stood tears running down his cheeks looking down to see Eddie's hand holding the knife. When did he get the knife? Was too scared to notice?

"I… I can fix you… yes I can make you beautiful…." Eddie smiled leaning in close to the robber.

"Please… let me go…" He cried wanting to get away regretting his bad choice. Eddie raised his arm knocking the robber out.

HOURS LATER:

"I know, the choices you made were not the best… and I did say I would fix you… but some are beyond help…" Eddie spoke covered in blood looking at the man tied to the table in the back room. He had pieces of flesh missing from his body. Eddie tried his best to remove the filth from his body. Eddie walked to the dead man looking at him.

"The things they did… I didn't know they were wrong… " Eddie spoke remembering everything that his father and uncle had done to him as a young boy.

"H-had I know…!" Eddie yelled his eyes filling with rage.

"Fifthly-!" He yelled shaking his head falling to his knees holding his head.

"I-I didn't know…" He sobbed alone.
