Sorry these are taking so long and that this chapter is so short! Been having horrible writers block, as you can probably tell with how poorly this chapter is written. I'm so happy some of ya'll have been enjoying this though! I'm starting to work up new ideas for more KevEdd fanfics. Becauses sadly, this one is coming to an end soon. But who knows, maybe I'll get inspiration to pick it up after it ends ;)

Heads up!: This has mature contexts through out this whole story plot. If you are sensitive to sexual scenes, strong language, drugs and alcohol use, or anything of that nature. Then I suggest not to read this.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything other than the story plot.

Chapter 10

My eyes shot open as there was pounding at my door. I looked over at my alarm clock, it was 2am.

"Who on earth is pounding at my door at this hour of the night."

I got out of bed and put my slippers on before moving quickly down stairs. The pounding was still just as strong and as loud with a steady rhythm. Well, if you could call that rhythm.

"I'm coming! What the hell is it!?"

Not very common for me to swear, but it was 2am! I grabbed the handle and opened the door and there stood my Kevin. Eyes bloodshot and puffy, tears rolling down his dirty cheeks, his fists were white from holding them so tight, but his body was shaking. I have never seen him look so weak and broken before.

"Hey Edd, can I stay here for the night?"

Without hesitation I rushed him inside and started to wipe his tears away with my thumbs.

"What on earth happened to you?!"

Kevin flashed a small smirk at me. How he could even smirk in a time like this, with his eyes so puffy and tear stains on his face? Heaven only knows. "You know how I apologized that one night and we were slowly working things out?"

I dragged him with me into the kitchen and took a damp cloth, starting to wash away the dirt and stained tears on his cheeks. Now noticing the dry blood around his nose and mouth. "What did you do?"

He twitched back from pain as I pressed the cloth to his swollen lip. "I decided it was time for my father to know about us."

"Kevin, you didn't."

"He sends his love and blessings."

I rolled my eyes to my red heads smartass joke. "Kevin, I thought we agreed to remain low key until we moved out of this area."

"I know, I know. But we only have a few weeks left of school."

My eyes rolled again as I cleaned up all the dry blood that was on his face. "We still have to live here without any drama or getting injured till then."

"We'll be doing our own thing for the summer! Then getting out of here to go to college together." Kevin pulled me into his arms and pressed his warm, red lips deeply into mine. "It'll be just me and you babe soon enough."

My heart sank as my mind skipped right to my dirty little secret. If only I could tell him. I have to tell him; but I don't know how. This wasn't the time or place for it, of course. I shall keep my secret for the mean time.

"Plus, you look pretty cute just standing there in your boxers. I'm starting to feel better already."

My face grew bright red. Curses. I forgot all about still being in my boxers. I can not believe I did not put on some clothes before answering the door.

"I shall put clothes on right away!"

I turned on my heels to head towards my room, but Kevin's strong arms wrapped around me and held my body to his. His strong, muscular, clothed body brought warmth to my smaller, slender, barely clothed body. His lips pressed lovingly into my shoulders as he whispered. "I can't wait to be able to spend every day like this with you."

My cheeks turned red and my heart sank. I can't tell him. How could I? How am I going to do this? I'll figure it out.

I turned to face Kevin and took his hands in mine and flashed a smile. "Let's go get you cleaned up and go to bed."

My fingers intertwined with Kevin's, his strong hands wrapped perfectly around my long and slender hand. I held onto him tightly as I led him to the way of my upstairs bathroom. We worked perfectly in sync with one another; without a single word said, the bath was running and Kevin was undressing, slipping his bruised body into the hot water. I removed the only poor excuse of clothing that I was wearing and allowed my body to sit in the hot water behind Kevin's. Without any hesitation, I slowly began washing his body, going over his bruises with more attention, even though I knew I could not just wash them away. Oh but how I wish I could, I would do anything to wash away any pain that has come to him because of me. At least I can wash away the touch of his father away form his skin, even if it is only mentally, it is what I needed to believe. I will wash away the touch, and soon the bruises with fade, along with the ache and pain.

Kevin and I stayed silent. The only sound you could hear through out the house was of the water in the tub moving as I cleaned Kevin's body, and the low deep breaths he took as I did so. My lips pressed softly into the back of my lovers shoulder, and I breathed in his musk with the fresh scent of lavender from the soap I was cleaning him with. I shut my eyes to take in the moment I would not mind to last a life time. I loved this man.

How on earth am I going to leave him?
