Chapter 8:

When I woke up I knew that there was something wrong. I felt like I hadn't gotten any sleep and my eyes had circles around them from lake of sleep. I wake around the house at 1 A.M. In the morning trying to think what I was looking for and then I realized. No notes. I looked over the house again and my parents' bedroom was emptied of all their things and they were missing. I ran to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.

~ Dear Eddward, we are truly sorry. We can't take having to come home all the time and you are doing a good job running the house by yourself so we decided to leave. We decided that you could live on your own. We will have money for the bills and food sent to you every so often so that you will be able to live. Don't forget we love you ~ bye.

I stood there frozen then everything went black. When I woke up my head was killing me and it was dark. I realized that I was in the kitchen and what had happened. Why would they do this to me?! Wasn't I the perfect son they wanted me to be?! I did EVERYTHING they wanted me to do. Why, why?! Was I not good enough? No... I have to clean. Yeah, cleaning will help. By the time I was done cleaning it was time to go to school. On the way to school I tried to act normal but I just couldn't smile. Why would I be able to? Walking to my locker the jocks passed by and tripped me. They stood there waiting for me to say something. I just sat there, thinking. Does anyone want me? Than finally I came back to earth. I was sitting on the ground with the sound of fighting surrounding me and then I realized that it was Kevin and a kid with blond hair. They fought till the bell rang.

"Dude, Double D are you OK? Did something happen you don't look to hot." Kevin said looking me in the eyes, "hey I'm taking you to the doctor's office OK?" I silently nodded waiting for him to drag me there. For some reason I had no motivation. When we got to the nurses office they said I was suffering from lack of sleep, stress, and depression. Kevin looked shocked, but didn't say anything. After the nurse left the room Kevin got up and sat next to me.

"Hey, double dork is everything OK? Was it cause of yesterday? Is everything OK at home? Did your paren-" right when he said that the memory came flashing back and I started to sob. I didn't want to show weakness but I couldn't help it because it wouldn't stop flowing down. Kevin put his arm around me and after a while I fell soundly asleep. When I woke up I was in kelvin's room laying on the bed. As I looked out the window I noticed how dark it was. I went to get up but something heavy was around my waist. My face flushed when I looked over and I say that it was Kevin laying sound asleep next to me. I started to panic not wanting to wake him up to go home. Then I felt the arms tighten around me and holding me closer. "Dork it is 12 A.M. In the morning go back to sleep." he started to lean back to the bed and took me closer. He held me closer filling me with warmth. I sat there for a second then started to cry. We he want me unlike my parents? Will he save me? Will he be there for me unlike my parents? Will he care? After a minute or so I fell asleep in Kevin's arms.

I was in a dark room and there was a light coming out of the window to the left of me. I could hear voices. They were telling me to give up and that I was worthless. Then I started to fall. I kept on going faster and faster and faster till splat.

I woke up with a gasp and I flung into the air. Trying to catch my breath I looked around the room and there was no Kevin to be found. Then I started to panic. I ran down the stairs and looked everywhere till I got to the kitchen door. I opened it slowly and walked inside. Kevin was at the stove making eggs. I slowly scuffled over to Kevin when he turned around in surprise. I walked to him and embraced him. I started to cry.

"I... I thought you left me alone like they did." Kevin looked at me in confusion.

"Who did?"

"My parents." Kevin was standing there in shock.

"How long have they been gone?"

"Maybe four months but they just told me they wouldn't be coming home... ever." Kevin then hugged me back but harder.

"Then why don't you live with me if you don't have anyone there." I looked at him in surprise.
"Are you sure? Wouldn't I be a bother?" Kevin giggled a little. Then smiled.

"Naw! your no bother my parents aren't home a lot and we have a spare room any ways. OK it is final,

You are living with me now go sit down the eggs are done." he said huffing in acceptance. I went and sat down. I suddenly got the urge that something was going to happen for the better. I just couldn't think of what.

Cliff hanger! Have fun people! So, what do you think? Let me know! Bye Bye happy valentines!
