Kevin spent the next two days, preparing for the fight. He spent most of his time in a closet concentrating on the mirror piece. His world has narrow to just the closet. He thought about everything. He wanted Chase to pay and there was nothing that was going to stop him. At home he avoided his parents. Locking him self up in his room. He tried to control his stomach pain. His mother did try to check on him when he didn't come to eat.

"Are you alright?" His mother asked with concern.

"My stomach… hurts." He mumbled with out thinking as he gasped at the pain, "I'll be ok." He then looked back as she closed the door. "I have to do this" He thought as another sharp pain pierces his stomach. With some energy he got later on, he got up and took out his notebook and began to write. He wanted Janis to know how he felt. How the warm feeling came when she was around her. How he was feeling at that moment. "I'm empty" He wrote as a tear fell down his cheek. He wrote until he had filled up two pages.

He had "told" her everything from what chase had done to all the pain he felt. He then tried to envision her. How her brown hair would seem to float on her turquoise jacket. It was very faint as he strained to see her smile trying to recapture the warm feeling that has disappeared so long ago. Tears fell as he knew that his attempts were failing. "JUST ONCE!" He yelled. He fell back on his bed and cried silently. He then thought of his parents. Once again he found energy to write. He stayed up almost all night writing. Adding more to the note for Janis and finishing the one to his parents.

He then pulled out the mirror piece and studied it. He felt the sharp point as a vision of Chase entered his mind. All at once he felt the rage. He then concentrated on Chase as it grew consuming him once again. He knew he had to put an end to his pain. He had to face chase. He then began to breathe deeper as he envisions slashing chase with the mirror. He wanted everything to stop. Tears now flooded his eyes. He then tossed and turned as he tried to fall a sleep.

Before leaving his room he tore the letter to his parents, out of his notebook and placed it on his bed. He then went over to his window and unlocked it. "I just want a back up plan." He thought as he left his room. He then walked down stairs he took everything in. He then went to the bookshelf and got an envelope and put Janis's letter in it. On the way to the bus stop, He had stop by Jimmy's garden and picked a rose from it. Putting it carefully in his bag next to the letter, he headed towards the bus stop.

He skipped classes that day. Trying to avoid glances from every one he returned to his closet. He then took the Janis's letter out and reread it. He some how wanted it to be flawless. He had felt that she was the only one that knew that he was human. He then thought of Nazz. He wished he could talk to her and tell her every thing. Out side he heard Chase's voice! He started to tremble as he thought of everything. Rage then swept over him. He then went back to the broken piece.

Hearing the halls clear, He step out and headed for Janis's locker. He had been by there a few times with in the last week hoping to see her one last time. He then took out the letter and slipped it into her locker, which stuck out half way due to it thickness, and put the rose in the handle. As he stepped back he felt the rage fade and began to hurt more. He then fought back tears as he left the halls. He then wondered past Nazz's locker. He had been pondering weather or not to tell her who he was. Pulling out a crumpled torn corner of paper, He simply wrote. I am hairs! -Kevin. He then slipped it in to her locker. He doubted that she would even find it as he returned to his closet.

Once again his mind went back to Chase. Rage then consumed his once again. He thought about the camp and how it had changed him. With a burst of fury, he punched the wall. "I hate him" He thought as his rage grew. The room began to "sway" as he collapse on to the floor. He had barely eaten anything with in the last few days. He then grabbed his old lunch out and nibbled on it. Soon his stomach started to sting. His whole body now felt the pain. Leaning back against the wall he slowly gasped for breath waiting for the pain to stop. His mind went back to concentrating on Chase.

As Kevin heard the last bell of the day, He slowly got up and put his hood up. He then put his bag back in a corner so it wouldn't get seen. He then thought of chase again as he open the door. Entering the halls he heard the whispers. His rage quickly grew as he headed down the hall. He was tired of all he had been put through. As he headed outside He felt the lump sink. He then reached in his pocket and clinched the broken mirror piece. "I have to do this!" He thought darkly.

"HAIRS!" Chase yelled as Kevin walked towards the empty grass lot behind the school."You know , you wont walk out of here." Chase said as the group of on lookers closed him in. He then glared at chase. He started to tremble. "Any last words?" Chase asked mockingly.

"This ends today! " Kevin growled. He then started to swing at chase, but Chase swooped and punched Kevin. Kevin then fought back Trying with all his might to get a shot in. Chase then shoved Kevin down hard. e then begain tojj He then began to kick Kevin. As Chase walked away, Kevin jumped to his feet. "DON'T STOP! I KNOW YOU CAN DO WORSE!" Kevin shouted. Kevin then glared at Chase, "AFTER ALL OF THIS YOU WON'T FINISH ME?"

"Who said I was done?" Chase laughed. Kevin then yanked off his hood. The whole group gasped at Kevin's scared and bruised up face. Chase then glared at Kevin. Kevin Glared back. "Put you're hood back up." Chase growled Kevin ignored the order as he got into fighting stance. "I SAID PUT IT BACK UP! YOU'RE SCARYING EVERYONE! ... FREAK!"

Kevin once again glared at Chase. He could hear the whispers around . his eyes were still on Chase. To the right side he noticed some movement. He only glanced over for a second to see Jonny staring at him. He then noticed Rolf. He saw the shock look on his face. All of a sudden Chase picked up Kevin and slammed him in to the ground. Kevin felt his whole body sting. He tried to moved but couldn't. He struggled to get the broken mirror piece out. "I JUST GOT TO! CHASE NEEDS TO PAY!" He thought as he stood up. He then glared at chase as he got his balance. His stomach felt like a crippling balloon. He ignored it as his rage returned. "CHASE!" Kevin yelled as he began to charge.

Being caught off guard, Kevin Tackled Chase and began punching him uncontrollably! He wanted Chase to die. He wanted to give him everything he had. Then, with out warning Kevin had thrust the broken mirror piece to Chase's neck. Chase's Eyes widen, as he stared at Kevin. Kevin paused as he caught his breath.

"You can't do it! You're too weak." Chase scuffed. Kevin then felt the ground "Tilt". His vision blurred for a moment as he felt something come out of his mouth. He then felt Chase throw him off his body."YOU LITTLE FREAK! YOU THREW UP ON ME!" Chase yelled as he kicked Kevin.

"Is that blood?" he heard some one say.

"I got to finish… this." He thought as he tried to regain some strength. He could hear the crowd laughing as laid there. He then heard a voice friend.

"YOU DARE HARM HIM! ROLF SHALL …." Rolf shouted as Kevin got his vision back.

"HE IS NOTHING ROLF! A LOW LIFE A NOTHING." Chase barked. Kevin then thought of what has might do to Rolf. He never wanted his friends to get in harms way. He then began to regain strength with his rage growing. He then turned around and saw that Chase had corner Rolf.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Kevin yelled as he pulled Chase away from Rolf. Then with what ever strength he had found. He punch chase right in the nose, breaking it. The two both went down. Kevin punch Chase a few more times as he had the other kids pull him off. They then tossed him aside. Once again Kevin felt his mouth fill with fluid. Using his remaining strength he crawled away and threw up. He then collapse, only being able to hear everything.

He could hear people running pass him to see if chase was fine. He thought no one notice him. He tried to move further away but his body refused. To his surprise he heard footsteps growing closer. He thought it could be chase. As he felt the hands being placed on him. He flinched.

"Man He is torn up!" A voice said. He then felt his body being turned over. He tried to fight, but, couldn't. "I never have seen him look this bad." The voice said again.

"The ambulance is on the way! Just stay with him!" Another voice shouted.

"NO!" Kevin thought, "I'm not worth saving!" He then heard more foot steps. And felt more hands come upon him. He then felt a hand pry the mirror piece out of his own.

"You're not going to do it!" Kevin heard the new voice say. "Not while I'm around, Kevin." He knew the voice the instant his name was spoken. It was Janis. She had found him. He felt her arms cradling him. He also heard her sobs. He then heard sirens'. He wanted to crawl some more and hide. Janis held him tightly as she mumbling something he couldn't understand. He then blacked out. Moments later he felt his body being moved. He was then place on a bed and into an ambulance.

"He's barely breathing." A voice cried out.
