The raven haired stood still staring at the door where the ginger had walked out. He felt his hand shake from many weird feelings that creeped through his body. The boy felt anger and a mixture of shame all towards himself. However he had gone through this before, a pair of friends who had stuck close to him had once said they were his family. Indeed they were for 2 years until Eddward had put all his trust in them and let them in.

Only then did he realize they had lied. They had abandoned him just like his parents; they had crushed his final hopes in life. It was then he knew no one would accept him, no one would understand, he had no one in this life who cared about him. The raven haired knew that the ginger would turn out the same way; he only prayed he was wrong.

Eddward wasn't meant to be born with default, he was meant to be the perfect child. For ten years he strived for that perfection, only to be crushed once everyone knew of his default. He never meant for it to be public, it was meant to be hidden forever. He had only been a child with no idea of right or wrong, how could he have known the world would shut him away once they took a peek of the sin that consumed him from the inside.

The raven haired was never meant to be this way...yet he was and he knew that this life was pointless because of it. It was only hell, it was misery, it was his constant torture he wanted to so desperately end. The ginger didn't understand that, the ginger didn't know anything about him, who was he to say that he cared? No one because the moment he would see the real Eddward he turned his back on him, he'd shut him out, he'd be disgusted by him.

Eddward was an illness in this world, only causing harm and sin upon the healthy people. He had to go away... The ginger just couldn't understand that.

He wouldn't understand... Not until he knew... Only then would the ginger agree with his 'disappearance'. He turn out just like the rest of them, Eddward knew it.

The raven haired just wished the boy would back off; he really didn't have the energy to deal with him. Eddward was tired, so very tired.

...

Kevin took a seat next to Nazz on the cool benches looking out onto a P.E class on the football field. "Hey Nazz" he cheerfully greeted.

"Hey Kev what's up?" Nazz smiled turning to her best friend and taking a bit of her lunch.

"Nothing much, same old I guess" the ginger shrugged turning to Nazz.

"Is Eddward and his goons still after you?" Nazz looked onto the field watching the boys and girls run around exhausted.

"Not really actually, well not Eddward at least I only see him in class these days..." Kevin leaned forward placing his face in his hands. It had been over a week since the incident and he hadn't had the chance to pester Eddward like he had planned. The raven haired boy always disappeared into thin air before he had a chance. "His goons are still at it though"

Nazz raised an eyebrow "Really? You think he's finally bored with you?" Nazz elbowed her friend.

"No, I think it's more like his avoiding me..." The teen muttered out.

"Why would he be avoiding you?" Nazz put down her lunch next to her "Even if he was, isn't it better? Just leave him be why go after the bastard. Honestly I don't know how I'll survive having to see his reign of the school for another two years after this. Wish he'd just move far away ya know"

Kevin's freckled hand trembled as he questioned if Nazz would be mad at him for what he was trying to do. To her Eddward was a demon who had caused too much harm on the innocent, she had been a victim in 9th grade before Kevin and Rolf had finally stepped in to protect her. Eddward was evil in their eyes, he was rotten. However in the last couple of days the ginger had seen a side of the boy that Kevin just couldn't turn away from. He was broken, he was hurting. If Kevin learned anything from his grandpa's death was that everyone was human, and the moment people crack their demons crawl out. Eddward needed the attention he lacked for years, and he planned on giving it to him. He just needed to let the raven haired know he was worth trusting. Kevin wanted to as peculiar as it sounded establish a friendship with the bully.

"Kevin...?" The ginger was pulled from his nervous thoughts looking at his friends concern eyes "Kev, you alright, you've seemed off lately, I don't know distracted I guess. What's wrong?"

Kevin sighed out "It's nothing don't worry about it"

"Are you sure?" The blond girl placed a hand on her friends shoulder "You can tell me you know, you can trust me"

Kevin raised his eyes to stare at his friend's crystal ones. Trust..."Nazz, how...how can you show someone that you're worth trusting?"

Baffled by the question Nazz thought a moment "I'm not sure, I mean for me I began trusting you the moment you and Rolf stepped in to save me from Eddward and his goons remember? We all headed to the park after that and just laughed together, I knew then it was a friendship worth keeping." She softly smiled at him "I think it comes with time for most people, trust isn't an easy thing to gain right on the spot Kevin, and once it's gone it's gone." She exhaled turning back to the football field watching the kids gather together "You just have to be there for them, it'll build up over time, and with it a strong bond" she intertwined her fingers with Kevin's and smiled again "You have mine that's for sure"

Kevin smiled back "Thanks Nazz" he gave a squeeze to her hand and looked onto the field as well. Nazz was right he had to find Eddward...and just be there for him.

...

That night Kevin stayed up looking out the window from his room, wondering what could possibly be going through Eddward's mind, why did he think he had to play the mean tough guy around public? Somehow the thought that he was pretending lessened his fear towards the raven haired boy. He was only human and since he had said he had been alone for so long maybe it had become something instinctual, as some means for survival.

Yet how could someone be alone for so long? What were his parents thinking, did they really not love their son, their only son as far as Kevin knew. It was such a heartbreaking thought of not having a family. They were the ones who were supposed to stick with you through thick and thin and love you unconditionally. No wonder Eddward was so bitter, he had been neglected so much love, he had been abandon.

Kevin didn't know how he would live without his father; he was the only family he had besides his grandma Barr who lived out of state. Kevin had never known his mother, she had died many years ago while Kevin was still merely months old. Lacking his mother however never seemed to prove much of any troubles for Kevin because he had his father. Mr. Barr had always tried his best to be a mother and a father for Kevin, always there for his quiz bowl competitions in junior high and his robotics club competitions as well. Always there to make breakfast because he knew he sometimes wouldn't be able to have dinner with his son. He was always there when Kevin needed him.

Eddward didn't have that, hadn't had that for who knows how long. It was no wonder the boy had such negative thoughts on the world, if he didn't have the love of his family how could he hope to find love elsewhere. It was harsh, and terribly sad to live alone, but Kevin was determined to give the boy attention, trust, and friendship. He only hoped Eddward would let him in.

He sighed tiredly, his eyes beginning to close. Kevin stood and got under the covered of his bed and after a while drifted to sleep. He dreamt of a series of colors, first it was all gold, mixed with purples and orange much like a sunset. Then it turned darker and there were different shades of blues, all mixing in a blur and then beautiful black hair that flowed in the current of colors. It all seemed like a memory, a very faint memory.
