Wah new Chapter, hope you enjoy

We are slowly getting closer fully taking off on this ride ;)

The ginger tossed and turned every which way. He just couldn't find a way to get comfortable under the covers; he'd either be too hot or too cold. Not to mention how his entire body ached from the most recent beating he had received. It had been about two weeks since he had that encounter with Eddward in the field behind the high school in which the bully dedicated to make him 'forget'. Indeed the beatings had been tough on him day after day and the Eddward's goons as well seemed to be getting even more intense each time. Tonight was most certainly not his night once again. Eddwrad wasn't allowing him to recover reducing Kevin to constant whimpers and sudden escapes to the restroom hoping to just get away from everyone.

Finally, having had enough of the pain, the boy carefully sat up walking over his drawer and pulling out some rubbing alcohol and cotton that he stored in secret. He decided to clean some small scrapes that were left on his sides from Jimmy's boots. He had gotten home and rushed into his room and passed out on his bed feeling the numbness and sting of his injuries. He took the supplies and sat at his desk looking out at the starless night sky. With a tired expression he took a small piece of cotton wetting it with the liquid. He gingerly took off his baggy shirt and gently tapped the wet cotton to his injury, wincing from the sting.

He knew he had some on his back, however he couldn't reached and always just left them alone deciding to leave them to get clean from the shower's running water. He moved the bottle and a bag of cotton to the side of the desk and taking out some bandages from his desk drawer. His thin small hands slowly worked to place them on the scrapes that were on his body. When finished, He slowly lifted himself onto the desk tipping over his glass jar full of pencils and pens over and moving aside his note and sketchbooks over to the side. Like this he would get a better look out the window and in silence he watched the light across the street flicker on and off.

Placing his warm forehead to the window gave him such a refreshing feeling. The glass was cool, calming his body temperature down and helping the minor headache he had developed. Kevin yawned, tired from several all nighters since the day he saved the Vincent boy. He knew he wasn't going to get any better at this rate and perhaps that was just what Eddward was planning. Ever so slowly sending him to his grave.

The ginger closed his eyes, pressing his body more onto the cool window. He often recalled the moment when he realized who he had reached out to help that evening, and the expression Eddward had given him. The smoothness of Eddward's quiet husky voice when he spoke to him, placing his slim hands on top of his trembling ones in the most gentlest manner he had ever felt from the boy. The raven haired teen had wanted Kevin to turn around like an ignorant child and let it all happen.

And that unexpected tender touch from the long rough hands that had only ever showed him unmerciful violence was what had disturbed him the most. If Kevin had listened to the bully and closed his eyes and left… that tender touch would have been the very last relation between them that would have haunted him for life. To Kevin, that moment had been a subtle cry for help and he had heard it loud and clear.

The thought had been playing through Kevin's head since that day. Why had he been the one to save him? How ironic really, the victim saving the tyrant. Life was so unexpected; it always had a funny way of making these types of things happen. Why? Everything happens for a reason Kevin remembered his father's words. Now it was just up to him to find out the why of it all.

The ginger boy frowned remembering his grandfather who had been taken by tragedy. Grandpa Barr had committed suicide back when little Kevin was about 12. He faintly remembered the poor old man falling into depression and rambling about how he was going to become a bigger burden on Kevin's father. He remembered Kevin's father limit Kevin's visits to his grandparents the worse the man became saving the smaller teen from fully witnessing the morning Grandma Barr had realized that the man had taken pills and had died in his sleep during the night. Kevin's father had been devastated both from heartbreak and anger. While, Grandma Barr and become too ill from heartbreak and had to live in a hospital for some time.

Since then Kevin had a hard time understanding his grandpa's reasoning behind his actions. He couldn't understand the man's entanglement into depression. Taking his own life away had to have been the most selfish thing the old man could have done. It upset Kevin to know that this was the second time his father was experiencing this kind of sorrow. First the death of his mom and then his grandpa...Not to mention that the man had left the family with an emotional scar. Kevin knew that he was in a better place now and hopefully in peace, and he and his father including grandma Barr had united closer over the years and were now in peace with the deaths of their loved ones. Grandma Barr had moved out of town and with one of her younger sisters taking with her only a small amount of truly sentimental items.

Death was something all humans thought about from time to time, but depression did something to the human mind that Kevin didn't fully understand. Depression as he saw it from his grandpa was something of an illness. Something that consumed you mentally, emotionally and even physically.

Now, Eddward Vincent was young and he had his entire life ahead of him. Eddward wasn't your typical moody teenager, no. As Kevin understood so far, something was plaguing the tyrant and had led him onto the bridge that evening.

But what was Eddward masking? How could Kevin get close enough to help out? What could he do to help the distressed bully? He knew this wasn't going to be easy, and so far it sure as hell wasn't. Every time he tried to approach the raven haired would disappear, threaten him or send his dummies after Kevin.

Hell, this was a suicide mission in itself. Eddward was not going to let him help any time soon, but in the meantime he had to try anything and everything. Kevin had to put up with the bully's violent method of forcing him to back off. It wasn't new to the ginger boy anyway, and he knew that even if he did comply it would all remain the same. Depression was only one aspect of Eddward's persona and he knew he wouldn't be able to help the bully with the rest. Because an asshole was at the end of the day still an asshole.

Kevin sighed exasperated, he knew he couldn't let Eddward go through with committing suicide, it just wasn't right. He wouldn't allow the teen to make the same mistake his grandfather had made. The raven haired had so much potential, he was on top of the entire school for crying out loud. No one in town had known someone as brilliant as Eddward no matter how evil he was. Kevin just couldn't understand, the ginger himself was going through enough in his life as it was and he hadn't truly made any attempts to end his life.

It wasn't depression, he was tired and angry yes, but to self harm like that? Never. To fantasizes about it after a bad beating was one thing but to actually go through with it was terrifying. He wouldn't do that to his friends, and family. so why did Eddward want to? Why would the one guy who has it all want none of it?

"Uuuuh" Kevin whined from the headache that was attacking him brain once again. He couldn't ignore something like this, life knew it and that's why it had put him in this situation. The ginger just hoped he wouldn't give up on Eddward. No matter how much he wanted to help, this was an effort done by both parties and if Eddward didn't want to cooperate there wasn't much left for little Kevin to help with.

The redhead didn't know how he was going to survive, but he knew one way or another, he just had to.

Eddward wasn't going to break him so easily.
