To rebuild our home

38

Jon's POV

I stood in Eduardo's lawn at the side of the house where the living room was since there was a window open. Tom returned to the house and told me that everything was okay now, he also told me what Eduardo did to Edd, but reasured me that he didn't used violence or anything on him.

After this I waited for a couple of minutes, but at one point I just couldn't take all this waiting anymore and decided to sneak over to their lawn to at least be able to hear what was going on, because if I would have looked through I window I would have get spotted.

While I was listening I then heard that Eduardo was apologizing to Edd and right after this he told him how sorry he was for the thing's that he did to me. This moved me because not only what he said but also because of the way in which he said it. He sounded so fragile, so broken, so lost, so regrettful and so hopless. All of this because of me. Maybe he actually cares about me and likes me after all. I began to tear up, what have I done I thought to myself.

In the end I hurt him and Mark as well. I was so wrong, I thought that they would be better of without me. How could I think that harming, trying to kill myself or running away could make them happier? How could I think that they would be glad to get rid of me? I didn't wanted to hurt them, I just wanted an escape from this nightmare. I just wanted to be seen as a friend of them or at least as a person.

I was clueless, on the one side I wanted to tell them that I was fine and accept Eduardo's apology so that he wouldn't have feel guilty about what he has done to me. I would also love to be their roommate again, but on the other hand I thought further about this situation. What if they are kind to me and then all of a sudden begin to treat me bad again like after the first two weeks of being their roommates again after having to be in the hospital for so long?

I decided to go back into the house of Edd, Tom and Matt and sneaked by the front door when sudden I saw the front door open. It was Edd, he glanced over at me and I saw that his face was beginning to get paler for a second before he quickly closed off the door again. But it was too late. I saw Eduardo behind him in this split second and he spotted me as well, he gasped and then the door closed.

I was scared about what he was going to do to me after finding out that I was hiding away from him on his own God damn lawn. My legs reacted faster than my mind, because before I was able to realize what was just happening I was already running.

But behind me I was able to hear a soft thund and then another loud sound as the door got slammed opened by Eduardo. He was now following me and a few meters behind him was Mark. Both of them were chasing me but even though my legs were shorter than theirs I was able to be faster than them as I felt the adrenaline flowing through my body.

I ran and ran and glanced over my shoulder once in a while as I saw them getting closer to me after a while. I wasn't even noticing where I was running to since I was starting to feel light headed and having difficulties on catching my breath. Mark seemed to also have the same issue, but Eduardo was determined to get me. I was slowing down as well as Mark but Eduardo wasn't getting any slower. The distance between us got narrow and at this point I knew that it was over for me.

I should have seen this coming, Eduardo was always the fittest of the three of us so this was already predictable. I never the slightest of a chance against him. He was always better than me, always the number one of us when it came to being the strongest or the fastest.
