Okay Enjoy the story~
TWEET "Alright good work today kiddos. Clean up and hit the locker rooms." Mr. G said dismissing the class.
"I did not know that! How fascinating! There is a coffee shop on 23rd avenue? I don't think I have ever examined it…" Edd exclaimed with excitement walking alongside Mathew to the locker rooms.
"Yeah it's pretty hidden, between the tool shop and barber shop. I think you'll like it for their private library. They have some great gems from Edgar Allen Poe and…uh…I know that's like your favorite writer…"
"How did you know?" Edd interrupted surprised.
"Oh…" Mat looked away and rubbed his neck shyly. "Um I-I remember last year you were always reading and I noticed it was always something by Edgar Allen Poe…"
"It's astonishing you remember such a thing." Edd smiled. "I would love to go and "check out" the coffee shop sometime."
Mat laughed. Edd was so awkward when he tried to speak in slang.
"Well if you're free this weekend maybe we can…"
"Terribly sorry but it seems I am busy with the science project in Chemistry. I and Kevin have plans this weekend to collect data for tidal waves."
"Oh uh…how about Monday?" Mathew said quick to respond.
Edd thought for a moment.
"Hmm. I believe I am available! Although afterschool I will be trying out for the swim team so anytime afterwards is ideal."
"Great! Monday I'll just stay after and wait for you, since 23rd avenue is kinda far from your house isn't it? By the way I didn't know you were a swimmer?"
"Hmph." Edd pouts. "Why? Is it because I don't fit in your conception of an athlete? I have you know that I am an improbable swimmer. Muscle isn't always needed for sports!"
"Alright then, I'll come to your matches and let's see how great of a swimmer you are. Ha. Ha. Okay see ya. I am dying for a shower."
Mat waves good bye as he walks off to the showers leaving Edd alone.
Kevin stares just a couple feet away overhearing their conversation.
Are you kidding me…Dork don't make me more obsessive then I already am! Hate being jealous god damn it! Fucking Mat.
"Hey what are you doing with Edd?" Kevin stood near the shower stall facing Mat who was shampooing his hair happily.
"Whatchu mean dude?"
"You're…you're flirty with him! Like what the hell is wrong with you?"
"I'm not chill out dude. He's just a cool guy is all. And I don't swing that way…or I don't think I do? Edd is kinda cute…in a little brother kinda of way…"
"URGGHHHHH." Kevin groaned in annoyance. He turned the faucet to cold water and left Mat to be tortured.
DING DON DING DONG – Friday 11th 2:05pm Schools over
Edd quickly ran out the locker room doors. His hearts racing as he dragged his feet to keep moving foward. He can hear the shouts behind him drown out as the sea of people came. Students started to pour out into the halls blocking Edd from his pursuers. His thoughts were blank and all he could see was what was ahead of him. He bumped into someone tripping on the floor roughly.
"Hey Edd what's going on?" Marie stuck her hand out worried.
"I got to go." Edd got up with his own two feet and darted off.
Marie watched as Edd scrambled away then a few moments later Josh and his group of friends shoved pasted her chasing after Edd.
She started to panic.
Edd ran through the forest as a shortcut home. Twigs snapped under him and the chirping of birds echoed around him. He couldn't hear the shouts. He stopped.
Why is it so quiet? They were right behind me…
He turned to look and saw no one chasing him. He turned and kept running forward seeing the monster in front of him. Josh.
Josh along with his group of idiotic friends stood in front of him smirking. Edd not giving a second thought turned to run only to stop and see he was surrounded. The rest of Josh's friend circled Edd laughing and teasing him. Josh slowly walked towards Edd making him shake in fear. He grabbed Edd by the head, gripping his hat and a bundle of his hair painfully.
"Look guys I caught a fairy." Josh friends laughed. He shook Edd violently like a rag doll.
"Josh please. I apologize for my clumsiness…I didn't mean to cause you any harm. Please let me go." Edd on the verge of tears begged. "Please."
Josh pushed Edd to the ground roughly. Giving him a kick in the stomach Edd gasped and hunched over holding his stomach. He puked from the impact.
"Remember I have to remind you where you belong. Dirt." He kicked Edd straight in the mouth as if kicking a soccer ball. His lips split and blood spurted out making the grass red. His head spun disoriented. His mouth filled with the taste of iron.
Josh stomped on Edd's back making him yelp in pain. "And I'm going to black mail you. You know my girlfriend works at a Thai restaurant in Daisy Village and it just so happens you…and Kevin were on a little date. How cute."
Josh took out his phone squatting down to show Edd the photos. It was a candid photo of Edd looking at Kevin laughing as they were eating. He swiped right to the next photo. It showed Kevin wiping Edd's mouth affectionately. He swiped right. Edd was holding Kevin's face as if they were going to kiss. He swiped right. Edd held Kevin's hand as they both smiled happily.
Edd started to cry, tears streaming down his face. He buried his face into the dirt wanting to fade away.
I'm sorry Kevin. I'm so sorry. What do I do…I'm just weak and pathetic…right?
"Are you crying? Be a man. Don't fucking cry like a baby dork." Josh leaned down lifting Edd by the head. "You should just be my slave."
I don't want to be bullied anymore…I'm stronger than this…
Edd grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into Josh's eyes. He hit him in the groin and got up grabbing a nearby stick as a weapon.
"Get away! Do not come any closer. GET AWAY!" He swung the stick trying to make the boys retreat. He threw it towards the group of boys and ran away.
"Don't let him get away! He's fucking dead meat." Josh shouted directed at Edd.
Edd kept running. His heart raced and his knees wobbled but all he knew was to keep going, keep running.
Turn here…left…no right…wait where am I going…running away from Josh am I insane or foolish…or both…I'm scared…left…there should be a…
"DORK RUNNING AWAY WON'T HELP YOU." Josh shouted making Edd shiver.
RIGHT…there should be a hole in the fence…down this alley?
Edd ran quickly down the alley getting behind a dumpster where he found there was a hole. Squeezing his way through he sat hugging his knees keeping completely still. He knew about the hole from the countless times him, Ed and Eddy had to hide from the Kanker Sisters.
Be quiet Edd…do not make a sound…if they can't find you they won't hurt you…
His body ached so much that the slightest move made him groan in pain. He closed his eyes focusing his ears on the noise around him. He could hear nothing then the splashing of footsteps rang clear. He could hear a stampede of footsteps hitting the puddles. They came closer…
Peach Creek High School Parking Lot 2:35pm
"HE'S LATE WHERE IS THIS IDIOT?" Kevin paced back and forth in front of his car in frustration. "Maybe he's doing homework somewhere?"
Kevin too busy thinking didn't notice a frantic Marie running towards him.
"KEVIN! KEVIN! HELP! PLEASE!" Marie shouted getting closer and closer to Kevin.
"Woah what's eating your ass?"
"PLEASE IT'S EDD…" Marie said panting barely able to breath.
"What about him?" Kevin asked confused.
"Josh."
Kevin immediately knew what was going on.
Fuck
Alley Way- 2:56pm
"Come out! Come out you little shit!" Josh shouted. "I know you're down here this is a dead end alley so you must be hiding somewhere…"
Edd heard the sound of trashcans being opened, bags being moved and leaves rustling. They were looking for him. And he was trapped. The hole was just an indented spaced in the fence blocked by the wall of a building.
It's okay…they won't find you…don't make a single noise…
RING RING RING RING
Edd's heart dropped. The ringing was coming from his phone. Taking it out quickly he saw it was an alarm.
Meet with Kevin for Beach :D- 3:00pm
"I found you."
Looking up Edd saw Josh grin dauntingly. He quickly grabbed Edd by the feet dragging him out the hole. Edd's finger nails dug into the dirt scraping the floor uselessly trying to get away. Then he felt his head hit the ground as he was stomped on.
"Stop struggling and take the beating." Josh twisted his foot pushing Edd deeper in the ground. "I mean this won't be the last ha. Ha. Ha."
Edd screamed in agony. His skull felt like it was going to crack in two.
"Damn you look like shit" Josh squatted down looking over Edd's wounds. "More like you look like dirt."
Josh smiled as he took the hat off Edd's head. Edd couldn't fight as back he held his head with great pain and was slowly losing his consciousness.
"You always wore this hat? Why?" Josh bent down and saw a glimpse of Edd's forehead. "Ahh"
He moved Edd's bangs and saw the scar.
"Wow. You were hiding this?" He smirked. "Disgusting."
Edd felt his mouth dry with blood. His head throb like a beating to a drum. Everything was in a daze, he could slightly hear what Josh was saying but he didn't want too.
"Hopefully this wasn't too precious to you." Josh took out a pocket knife and started to rip the hat into pieces. Each rip made Edd ache. He saw the scraps fall to the ground till the last strip. "Now let's move on the beating. Get him boys"
Josh's friends started to surround Edd in a circle formation and began kicking, spitting, insulting every inhuman thing imaginable. Some aimed for his head then his back then his stomach. He tried to curl into a ball and yet they managed to hit every vital part of his body.
Each hit made Edd gasp in pain yet he couldn't scream. He couldn't yell for help. His energy was drained along with his motivation. As he began to see black and the pain seemed to subside he heard a shout.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"
The tone was angry and vengeful yet was familiarly soothing.
"BACK THE FUCK OFF."
"Come on Kevin. We were just teaching Edd a…" He was cut off by a loud smack. Then another and another until all you could hear was Josh groaning on the ground.
"Everyone. Leave. Now." Kevin ordered towards Josh's group of friends.
They scrambled off leaving Josh behind.
Edd peeled his eyes open struggling to get up. He continued to hear the sound of skin on skin contact. The loud smacks echoed making his head ache.
What he saw frightened him.
Kevin held Josh by the cuff of his shirt his arm in a continuous motion going back and forth across Josh's face. Josh's blood was splattered all over Kevin's hands and shirt. Josh was trying to fight back but he took hit after hit. He soon looked on the verge of being unconscious.
"Kevin…please…that's enough. Stop." Edd whispered barely audible.
Kevin continued punching Josh with brute strength making more blood stream down Josh's face.
"Kevin! Stop!" Edd began to get louder as Kevin continued with no signs of stopping. Kevin dropped the unconscious body to the ground and continued with his beating. He swung left then right then left as if he had a pattern.
"KEVIN! STOP! STOP! KEVIN!" Edd cried using all of his strength left to pull on Kevin's arm to stop him.
Kevin shoved him off roughly throwing Edd to the side. Edd gasped in pain hitting the ground.
Kevin froze.
"Kevin. Please…" Edd cried faintly. He wrapped his arm around Kevin's left arm shaking with fear. "I'm scared. Please just stop."
Edd sniffles turn into moans of despair. Tears rolled down his cheeks, his breathing began to speed up and he started to pant heavily. Edd dug his head into Kevin's arm crying, just crying.
Kevin stared at his skin torn right hand. He couldn't feel it. The blood started to dry out and crust around his knuckles. His eyes followed the trail of blood up to his shirt.
Kevin's mind became clear when he saw the state in which Edd was in. Tears formed around his swollen eyes as Edd held onto Kevin's arm tightly hugging it close to his chest like a teddy bear.
Kevin lifted his bloodied hand and started to gently rub Edd's tears away. His eyes wandered inspecting Edd's body.
Edd has bruises in different shades of red and purple all over his body. His lip was cut down the middle, dry with blood. There were foot print marks all over his body from when they beat him. The specks of dirt on his face showed he was pushed to the ground. But what hurt Kevin most of all was the way Edd's beautiful long black wavy hair was dirtied and disheveled. The way Edd bled, cried and suffered made Kevin's anger rise.
Kevin carefully lifted Edd off the ground and into a bridal style position. He walked slowly towards his truck being careful as to not hurt Edd. He felt a burning sensation inside. His heart swelled with hatred.
"I'll get your revenge Edd. I promise you." Kevin whispered he calmed Edd by holding him close to his chest. He kissed Edd on the forehead ever so softly. "I won't let them hurt you ever again. I promise"
