Chapter 7

Eddwards POV

I begin my trek over to Maries Manor. I am feeling in an oddly content mood since last night, and even though the mere thought of that troublesome oaf makes my blood boil in an uncomfortable way. 'It is intriguing how furious I feel when I think about what he is doing not only to Kevin but to me. How dare he? I am not someone to be messed with. I just need to think of a way to get him away from my Pumpkin.' Edd is thinking but then he freezes. 'His? Hmm that is interesting.. I would assume I would have to feel pretty deeply about someone to consider them mine. Or maybe it is just my complex.' He thinks as he continues. 'Maybe I will bring it up to Marie.

At Marie's house, she takes a longer time than usual to answer the door, and Nazz comes walking out. She looks at me and gives me a pointed stare. Instead of letting her walk away I decide to ask if she knew of Trey.

"Did you know he was being abused?" I ask, and she whips around with a shocked face. That would be a no.

"Who and what do you mean?" She asks suspiciously. I sigh, feeling those strange feelings again.

"Kevin, did you know about the man who would hurt him over the summer?" I asked, and the look of horror she gave me was enough to confirm that he told no one. Until now. I look at the ground until I hear her ice cold voice, vibrating with hidden rage that even scared me just a little.

"Who was he?" She asks, and I look back up at her. She is red faced and obviously pissed.

"I am not allowed to say, however believe me when I say this. The man will be punished. Severely." I say just as coldly before turning around to go inside, but she stops and grabs my arm. I freeze till she releases my arm and I turn around, shooting daggers into her eyes. "Yes?"

"I do not know what is going on between you two. But if you hurt him, I will hurt you." She finishes and then leaves. This actually makes me smile. She is so full of emotion all the time and is not afraid to show it.

When I am finally let inside we head to her room and I immediately start talking about Kevin and the day before. I bring up how I had been feeling when it comes to the dork, and I didn't notice the pathetic look she had on her face until I looked up. She was close to tears, and I was majorly confused.

"So you took the kid out on a date?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"It was not supposed to be a date per se, I had heard about the museum set and did not want to go alone, and knowing Kevin liked it.." I trailed of realizing it was a date the whole time by the standards others put up. Did he think it was a date? I had only thought it sounded like a date when at dinner but she is right. I look up at her, and she looks angry.

"We never went on dates. Fuck Edd we were together for three fucking years and we never did anything like that!" She yells, standing up in front of me. I look up at her confused, why was she bringing this up now?

"You never indicated-" I start but she interrupts me.

"Indicated? Fuck I am a girl! These things are what boyfriends are supposed to do for their girlfriends!" She screams and pushes me. I stand up, and though I am angry I would never hit her, no matter the case.

"If you would have told me, I would have done these things for you. I just never felt the need because I did not see you as partner material, more as a friend with a title." I say in a low, menacing voice. She looks infuriated for a moment before she lifts her hand to slap me. I grab it before it hits my face, squeezing her arm hard, not to hard but enough to make a point. Before I can say anything she starts crying and falls to the ground. My eyes open in shock, and I am so confused over what is happening. She had taken our break-up well, but finding out I did this seems to be harder to handle?

"What did I do wrong? Please Edd I will do anything just come back. I..I love you!" She screams and is crying again. I pause. Love? I don't understand the meaning of this word, everyone seems to use it. Is it genuinely that common or just misunderstood as well. And why is she acting like this now, when Nazz was just here… shouldn't she be happy?

"It is not you. It is Kevin. I am…" I pause, confused about what I should say. "He makes me feel. Things. Things that others don't and I like that." I finish. I walk away and open the door, I turn around and she is on her knees crying harder. "And I do hope you do not plan to hurt him. For you will pay dearly for that. I will see you soon." I finish and leave. Walking back to my empty home I think about what has transpired in the last few days and the amount of stress makes me want to take a swim. I cannot wait till tomorrow morning when I can go to the school pool. However my issue with the imbecile is still not resolved.

Kevin's POV

After telling Nat everything that had happened during the meeting/date thing, Nat of course squealed like a little girl. He had to leave right away, and that was fine with me because I was exhausted. He is supposed to come back over so we could talk more and so I am just waiting for him to get here.

"Kevin your little friend is here!" My mom hollers and I take off down the stairs. Nat looks pensive, and he follows me to my room. We sit down on the bed next to each other, and I decide to stay quiet and wait until he decides to say what he needs to say. It is quiet for another five minutes before he sighs and shifts, so he is facing me.

"Ok look, I get that this is all making you happy and shit.. But I just want you like, safe or whatever." Nat finally says. I've never seen him so serious, so I know that I need to take this for real.

"What exactly do you mean?" I ask.

"He was always bullying you, calling you names and just making you utterly miserable, and yet you went and found the good in him somehow and fell for him. I get that you might want something serious with him but-" I decide to interrupt him then.

"I am not expecting anything of the sort out of him. I do not think he can even feel any think like that for me. Or anyone for that ma-" then he interrupts me.

"Don't interrupt me dude! Man, I don't know what goes on in his life but he's got issues, and I think even though he is being nice to you, you still need to be careful. I think I am going to go meet your boyfriend in the morning-"

"He is NOT my boyfriend!" I yell at him, but he doesn't even notice.

"And I can see what he truly wants. I don't want you to get all high hopes and then have them smashed because this is a joke or something like that. I'm just saying I want you prepared you know? Cuz your my bro and I don't wanna be picking up your pieces when he goes." I roll my eyes at him.

"I'm not stupid Nat, I am being careful, and besides I just asked to be friends, nothing more and he is with Marie, so we have nothing to worry about." I say and look back up at him, and he's got a weird look on his face. "What? What is it?" I ask, getting paranoid.

"He isn't with Marie anymore didn't he tell you? Nazz said that Marie called her, and they have been hanging out, and talking. Edd broke up with Marie Friday. The day before…" he starts but gets a stricken look on his face, and it takes a second for me to realize why. The day before our date… Friday. He gets a Cheshire grin on his face, and I try and talk him down.

"No, no no, it is probably a coincidence, or maybe she dumped him hm? Or you know nothing important!" I try, but it's not working he is vibrating with giddiness back to the Nat I know, standing up and dancing a bit.

"Holy shit he must be serious dude! I'm still going to have a talk with him but oh my gods! He totally took you on a date and then… wow" he says sitting back down but still smiling.

"It wasn't a date" I say under my breath, but Nat won't hear for it.

"It was, now shut it. Tomorrow morning he will probably be at the pool. We will go and have a chat with him. I'll do my best friend duties by threatening him and what not and go from there. Now. About this Trey guy." He says pondering.

"Edd said he would take care of him." I say and Nat laughs.

"Oh my gods that is the cute! The boyfriend will beat up your tormentor! Aww!" He screams hugging me.

"Gods damn it Nat he isn't my boyfriend!" I scream back.

"Who isn't?" My mom comes in asking. I blush a deep red.

"No one is mom. That is the point." I give Nat a pointed stare, but he just smiles.

"Sure, just be safe, also dinner will be done soon." She says, giving a knowing smile and leaves.

"You are such a fucking dick!" I say punching his arm. My mom pops back in.

"Don't talk like that!" She says and leaves again. We both giggle.

"Alright well ill meet you at the locker rooms in the morning and we will quickly talk to Edd before anything goes down.

"Kool, you staying for dinner?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"Duh"

Treys POV

"He's mine. How that fucker could-" I'm yelling again. It doesn't matter, I'm alone. My abusive alcoholic father is gone drinking, and when he is back I'm sure we will fight again. I don't care. All that matters is Pipsqueak. My Pipsqueak. "That mother fucking Shark!" I scream swiping off my desk, my lamp and shit flying to the ground breaking. I take a swig of my beer and throw the empty bottle at the wall the breaking of glass making me feel better.

"If I get rid of him I can get Pipsqueak all to myself. That's all I want. I just want my Pipsqueak. But he won't let me have him. I need him, forever. I want him in every part of my life, soul, mind and… body" That gives me an idea.

30 minutes later

"Fucking shit that hurts like hell!" I yell at the artist who just laughs at me.

"I warned you dude. The breast plate is a tender spot for tattoos. Especially your first." He says, and I scowl at him. I am getting a kick ass tattoo of an open heart locket with a dagger in between, and beside the locked is a gravestone with the words EDD on it. Inside one half of the locket is Kevin's name and my own in the other half. I really want a drink, I am not great at pain, but I know this is worth it, this tattoo is going to be perfect. Now my pipsqueak will know just how much we belong together. He will get one just like it with me on him, and we will be together. Forever. I don't know how this infatuation started. I just saw him one day, and it was like I saw him differently. But he would only see me as his bully, he hated me but now, now he loves me and will even more after I prove myself. He wants me to kill Eddward. He told me so last night in my dream, he doesn't like how Edd won't let me have him, won't let us be together. I have to do what my Pipsqueak says so we can be together. He needs me, he is nothing without me, and we know it.

Me and Kevin will be together, and I will stop at nothing to make this happen.

Kevin's POV

The Morning

We meet at the locker rooms and start walking to the back where the pool is.

"Are you s-sure we should? I mean he might get mad.." I say trailing off. I don't want him mad at me before we even start dating.

"Naw, we will just see what he is doing and-" But he is cut off by a loud scream and the sounds of splashing. We look at each other and run towards the pool. We open the door, and both stop dead in our tracks at the sight.
