To rebuild our home

Jon's POV

There was a ringing at the door. Who could it be? I asked to myself as Edd pulled away from our hug and went down stairs to open the front door. I was slowly following him and reached the staircase to see who the person was that was ringing at this time of the day right now.

Then when the cola lover opened the door I froze. I saw two familiar faces that I weren't expecting to see so soon again, Mark and Eduardo. I backed away from the staircase and walked back into the corridor so that I would be out of their sight. I could barely hear out what Eduardo, Mark and Edd were saying, but a slight majority of the words that were spoken out from the three I was able to capture.

Edd's POV

"Hello Edd, we came here to ask you something. After this we won't be bothering you for much longer." Mark spoke out firstly in a polite manner. "have you seen Jon?" Eduardo suddenly asked a split second after Mark had just finished off his last sentence.

I wasn't a huge fan of lying, but when I felt like I needed to do so to protect something than I wouldn't think twice about doing so. Especially when the person I had to lie to was someone who I couldn't stand. "Nope, I haven't seen him." I lied at them and glanced over to Eduardo with hatred in my eyes.

I couldn't resist the urge anymore, I had to ask Eduardo, I had to expose him and find out from his perspective what had actually happen. I believed Jon more than him when it came to figuring out what led Jon to behaving this way since I saw him as a pretty honest person, but I just somehow wanted to also hear the story being told from Eduardo.

"What happened to Jon?" I asked them and pretended to be clueless. "Jon ran away, last evening he was still there in his room, but this morning he wasn't there anymore." Mark explained as Eduardo stayed silent, oddly silent if you had to ask me. "What could be a reason for his sudden disapearence?" I now asked and full on faced Eduardo who just turned his gaze away frome before answering, it seemed as if he couldn't stand to face anyone after what he had done to that poor guy.

"I did something terrible, something that I regret, something that scarred the person that liked me and looked up to me the most. I was over reacting, I hit him and called him names. He left last night or this morning and the worst thing about this situation is that we don't even know how he is doing right now or if he is even alive. What I did to him was terrible and the thing is that I wanted to apologize to him, but now it is too late. I just hope that wherever he is right now that he is safe and being treated well." The brunette spoke out with a raspy voice and at the end of his last sentence I could hear that his voice cracked. Then I could see that tears appeared at the corners of his eyes.

I didn't wanted to feel bad for him, I wanted to keep on asking him about thing's that he would do to Jon to have a clearer picture about the kinds of abuse that Jon had to deal with. I wanted this information not only because I was curious, but also because I wanted to see what other kinds of negative impact Eduardo could have left on Jon. The problem was that I just couldn't open my mouth in order to ask him more things.

What he told me had left me speechless. The last time I had seen him like this was after the missle had hit Jon. Eduardo really seemed to regret what he had done to Jon. Still I needed to protect Jon so I wasn't going to tell them the truth yet.

Mark placed his left hand on Eduardo's right shoulder and tried to soothe him like this. As much as I hated Eduardo, I couldn't stand seeing him like this, he just seemed so sad and filled with guilt. It broke my heart seeing him this way, but still I hadn't forgotten that the real victim in this story was after all Jon.
