Summary: A small heartbreaking one-shot.

It was a gloomy day at Peach Creek High School. The whispers went around the campus as fast as flies with the knowledge they carried from the scene that had taken earlier in the day. Two students were both missing from school that afternoon. They had left earlier in the day, knowing they weren't coming back to finish the school day.

Kevin Barr.

Eddward Vincent.

Edd ran home because of all the shame and embarrassment he had faced earlier. He was in his bed sobbing, clutching the pillow that smelled faintly like his now ex-boyfriend. How did he not notice? How did he miss the teasing glances and smirks on the football players' faces?

He was an idiot for missing all of it.

It was just a bet. It was just a stupid bet that the players had started back in the summer during football camp, and Edd was the victim. Leaving out a heartbroken cry, he threw his pillow across the room, knocking over his cactus, Jim. He got up, fixed his plant, and sat him back on his desk. He grabbed his phone to check it to find that he had no missed text messages. Clutching his phone, he leaned back against his door, sobbing harder than before while he pressed a hand over his eye.

He was heartbroken.

Kevin stood in the middle of his room, unaware of his surroundings. He felt like a part was ripped out of him, killing him. He shouldn't have made a bet. Then maybe Edd would still be his. Perhaps he wouldn't be standing in the middle of his room, crying his eyes out. What went wrong?

He thought that his so-called friends had forgotten about the bet. Thinking back to the scene earlier in the day, he realized they still remembered. Rather he forgot. And man, he wished he didn't forget. Kevin's eyes flickered up to the photo he had on his nightstand. It was a photo of him and Double D - no Edd - he doesn't feel he has the right to call him by his nickname anymore. The picture sent a surge of emotions through him, making him cry out in pain before going on a rampage and trashing his room.

Once finished, he slumped against the door, sobbing as he slowly fell. He ignored his mother's relentless attempts to get into his room as he survived the damage. Kevin had flipped his bed upside down, and his nightstand was across the room. Glass littered the floor where he smashed his glass shelves that held trophies and team photos. The posters on his wall were now hanging down in a torn fashion, and the picture of him and the man he loved lay on the floor ruined.

His room was a mess, but it was nothing compared to his heart. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to see if he had any messages. His hope shattered when he saw that there was nothing. No missed calls or messages. He lost it. He pulled his hat down to cover his face sobbing into it.

He was heartbroken.
