Hey guys! I wasn't planning on getting this done today, but I had little homework tonight, and no lacrosse! Yippie! I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've last updated; I haven't had the best time, recently. I'm too tired to explain everything, but if you really want to know, read my latest one shot: Guilt. Anyway, here's the newest addition to Broken! I hope you enjoy it:-)

I DO NOT OWN HOUSE OF ANUBIS, BUT GOLLY DO I WISH I DID! :D

(Eddie's P.O.V.)

Ugh, I hate Mondays.

I'm slinging my backpack over my shoulder, and I'm about ready to leave the house when I hear someone call my name.

I turn around, to see KT running up from behind me.

I smile at her. "Hey."

"Hey- walk with me to school." She replies

I nod, and we walk out the front door.

"So...you and Nathan..." I begin, as we walk.

KT laughs. "Yeah...he's great." She gushes

I force a smile on my face. "Well...I'm happy for you." I mumble

She looks at me with a weird look on her face.

"What?" I say

"You don't seem like yourself. What's up?" She asks

I shrug. "KT...I love you. You're like my sister- you know that. But...it's just...I don't really... trust...this Nathan dude." I say

Phew, that was hard.

She looks at me in confusion. "W-Why not?" She questions.

Shit- I don't want to explain any more than I have to.

"Uhh...he just...I've heard some negative things about him-"

"Like what?" She snaps

"That he got suspended from his last school for pushing a kid down the stairs." I say, thinking of when Todd had told me that about his cousin when we were...together.

"And...we had detention together. I heard him bragging to some guy about how he dated three girls at once before he came here." I add

I'm so glad I'm getting this off my chest.

KT stays silent for a moment. "Eddie...I really trust him. He may have done those things, but it's all in the past. Nathan's great, I swear." she murmurs

Okay, so she's like the only one who was smart enough to not get her soul devoured by Ammutt, but yet she got brainwashed by that douche bag?! What?!

"Alright...I just don't want to have to kill him if he hurts you." I say, trying to sound like I'm joking.

She loops her arm through mine. "Don't worry. I've got this." she says.

I shrug, and we continue our walk to school. The topic of Nathan disappears from our conversation, but it's all I can think about.

(KT's P.O.V.)

It's time for lunch; thank the heavens!

I trudge down the crowded school hallways to get to my locker, so I can grab my sack-lunch. As I get closer, I see Nathan leaning against my locker door. A smile longer than the Nile River spreads across my face.

"Hey baby." I say, as I approach him.

"Hey." He replies, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Are you packing or buying today?" I ask him.

"Actually, neither. You and I are going to that new French Café that just opened a few minutes away. Grab your jacket, it's kind of cold out." He says

"Aw! But I don't think we're allowed to leave for lunch..." I say

He smirks. "So? What's Sweet going to do? Give us detention together? Sounds like a free period for unlimited make-out sessions to me..."

My cheeks turn a light red. Then, I realize that this is what Eddie had been talking about earlier. This is sweet of Nathan, but maybe Eddie has a point...

But I decide to brush it off. I smile at my boyfriend, as I enter my locker combination. "Alright, just give me a minute or so." I tell him.

He smiles. "Okay, I'll wait out front." He says

I open my locker, and watch as he disappears down the hall.

(Jerome's P.O.V.)

I walk hastily down the hallway leading to the cafeteria; I need to get there before Alfie eats everything in his path.

I quicken my pace, which results with me accidentally colliding into someone.

"I'm sorry-" I begin

"It's alright, Jerome." the person mumbles. I notice, that it's Todd who I've bumped into.

"Oh, hey Todd." I say

He grins. "Hey. Haven't seen you in a while." He replies with his thick, American accent.

"Yeah, um, do you wanna grab a seat at lunch with me?" I ask, thinking quickly.

"Sure. Let's go."

We walk through the crowded cafeteria together. Sure enough, Alfie is putting the whole desert bar on to his plate.

"Isn't that your roommate?" Todd asks.

I nod. "Yeah, that's him. The human garbage disposal." I reply

He chuckles lightly. "I think I see a few seats over there." he says, pointing to a table on the other side of the cafeteria.

I follow him over there, and we take our seats.

"So, any luck with finding the diamond?" he asks

I shake my head. "Not yet. I'm going to search the cellar when I get a chance." I tell him.

He nods approvingly "Excellent. And Jerome, I have another favor to ask of you." he says

I stare at him in confusion. What else could he possibly want?

"What is it?" I ask him.

He grimaces, and pulls his phone out of his pocket. He turns it on, and then slides it over to me.

When I look at what's on the screen, my eyes grow wide.

(Nathan's P.O.V.)

"Nate, this is an awesome place!" KT chimes, as she scarfs down her buttered croissant.

I smile at her, glad to know that I've made her happy.

"So, I was going to try to walk with you to school this morning, but I couldn't find you." I say

"Oh, I walked with my friend Eddie." she replies, dabbing her mouth with a napkin.

This might be going somewhere...

"Oh okay. He's Mr. Sweet's son, right?" I ask her, playing dumb.

She nods. "Yep. He's not exactly proud of it, but...you know, he can't really do much about it."

"So is he a good friend of yours?" I question.

"Oh yeah, he's like my brother. We, uh, actually talked about you, this morning..." she begins.

I cock an eyebrow at her. "Nothing bad, I hope?" I ask

She laughs playfully. "No...it's just, he can be kind of over protective of me, since we've got a brother and sister relationship and all...he just told me that he wasn't sure about you yet..."

That stupid mother fucker!

"Oh. Well, did he say why he thinks that?" I ask

"It's nothing. I'm sure that the two of you'll get to know each other, and become friends. Don't worry about it." she says, taking a sip of her lemonade.

Oh KT, if only you knew how much I'm going to worry about it...

(Eddie's P.O.V.)

I hate school.

Not just because of the academic part, but because of the bullying I get from Todd and his friends.

Today, Todd informed me that he told everyone back at our old school in America that I got a girl pregnant, and then I left her for a guy.

As soon as I found this out, I rushed back to the house, and logged on to my Facebook page. Not to my surprise, countless comments had been posted to my wall:

"Keep it in your pants, faggot."

"You disgust me. I hope you kill yourself."

"You're so pathetic. Just know that everyone hates you and wishes you would just die."

"NOBODY LIKES YOU!"

I'm about to close my laptop, when the next post catches my eye:

"Hey guys, leave him alone! This is his personal business; I'm sure you've all made mistakes too. Don't listen to them Eddie, they're just losers with no lives."

The post is from a girl named Lucy Thompson. Huh, I've never heard of her before. But I'm happy that she stood up to Todd; she really didn't have to do that...

I click on her profile. Her profile picture is a selfie of her. She's very pretty: she has long, dark brown hair, porcelain skin, blue eyes, and dimples.

I drag my mouse to the "send message" button, and type a message to her:

Hey. Thanks for your post. It really means a lot.

Then, I hit send.

I sigh, and close my lap top. I glance at the clock on my wall. 4:15, it reads. I have an hour and fifteen minutes until I have to meet my dad at his office for dinner.

Well, I guess I'll get some homework done before then...and maybe I'll cut a little, too...

(Patricia's P.O.V.)

"Fabian, where's Eddie?" I ask my geekiest friend, who is strumming away at his guitar.

"He's having dinner with his dad tonight. He should be back in a little bit." He replies.

I shrug, and flop down on Eddie's bed; I sit on something hard. I scoot over, to see that I was sitting on the edge of a blood covered knife, which was poking out from under Eddie's pillow.

I scream, and jump away from it. This catches Fabian off guard. "What's the matter?" he shrieks.

I don't answer him, and pick up the knife. The blood covering it is still wet; it's obviously new. Fabian paces over to me, and stares at the object I'm holding in horror.

"What was he doing with that?" he asks

I think of all the possible reasons why my weasel face of a boyfriend could have this. Then, it hits me.

"When we went out yesterday, I noticed some cuts on his wrist. He said he ran into some scissors that were on your desk…" I choke, tears welling in my eyes.

Could Eddie really be self-harming?

Fabian's eyes grow wide. "No…he-he wouldn't!?" he stammers.

"He's been acting really strange lately. He told me he's been depressed over losing his Osirian powers, maybe this is how he's been coping?" I suggest.

Fabian shakes his head in disbelief. "Okay, we have to confront him about this; it's for his own benefit. When he gets back from dinner with Sweetie, we'll talk to him together. Alright?"

I nod, and hug him. What on earth would make Eddie want to do this? Needless to say, Fabian and I are going to find out.

(Eddie's P.O.V.)

That was a great dinner.

My Dad had told me earlier that we were having Chinese food tonight, which is his favorite, but he surprised me with Pizza, my favorite, instead.

I look down at my feet, as they drag across the path back to the house.

Then, I hear laughter. I turn around, to see Todd, Nathan, Zeke, Jim, and Mason walking up from behind me.

Oh god, no! I quicken my pace; I'm not in the mood to deal with them.

"What are you so scared of, Milly?" Zeke teases.

I ignore them, and keep walking. Someone laughs, and then I feel something hard hit the back of my head. My hand flies over to where it hit, and I notice a medium sized rock laying by my feet.

I turn around and face them. "What. Do you want?" I snap

"You told KT you don't trust me. Why ever would you not trust me, Edison?" Nathan harasses

KT! I shouldn't have said anything to her...

"Yeah, I did. I can tell her whatever I want." I snap.

I turn back around, and start to walk away. Todd pulls me back by the arm, and squeezes my elbow tight. "Don't walk away from me, you fucking prick." he snaps

Rage is building inside me. I'm so sick of him controlling me...

Then, he smacks me across the face. Without thinking, I throw my fist to his face, but he catches it, and kicks me in the gut.

I grab my stomach in pain. Ouch, that really hurt!

Todd laughs at me, and punches me again; the others join in. I try to run away, but Jim pulls me back, and slaps me alongside my face.

My entire body is hurting; I've had enough of this from them!

I try to fight back, but the five of them team up, and throw punches at me every which way.

Eventually, they pin me to the ground. Todd sits on top of my stomach, grabs me by the shirt, and slams my head against the concrete ground numerous times.

By this point, I'm in so much pain, I just kind of let them do whatever they want to me. I'm too weak to fight back, and if I try, they'll probably hurt me worse.

Mason throws one final punch, hitting me in the left eye.

Then, Todd grabs me by the shirt once again.

"Listen here, faggot. We were nice to you before- when we told you that you don't say a word to anyone about anything we do to you. What we meant, was that if you even so much as mention us to one of your friends, we'll kill you. This, is just your warning. Never forget, that we fucking hate you and wish you were dead. And if you ever try to jeopardize KT and Nathan's relationship again, we will beat you to death next time. Got it, loser?" he yells

I nod my head. He lets go of my shirt, and stands up from sitting on me.

"Good luck getting home, dumb ass." Nathan snarls.

I watch as the five of them walk away, laughing hysterically at me.

"Oh by the way, Nathan just filmed everything that just happened. Everyone back at home will know how much of a worthless wimp you are by tomorrow morning." Todd adds.

My heart drops. Why won't they just leave me alone?!

Once they're a safe distance away, I try to stand up, but I instantly fall back over. My head aches. My chest is tight, making it hard for me to breathe. My face is throbbing. My body is an overall mess. They're words really start to sink in; they hate me...everyone hates me.

Todd's right: I am worthless. Nobody wants me here, nobody cares...

I guess all I can do is lay here, and hope that someone will find me.

Poor Eddie:( Who do you think will find him? What will Patricia and Fabian say to him about his cutting? What did Todd show Jerome on his phone? Will KT ever figure out what Nathan is doing to Eddie behind her back?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEASE REVIEW! Thanks for reading guys, goodnight!
