To rebuild our home

Jon's POV

"You even gave me all of your money as if the money could be the most important thing for me. I don't care for the money or for how much those things cost. I only care about you and about your well-being. I don't want this money, I just want to see you smile and be on my side. A God damn dish washer as well as a few clothes can be replaced, but you can't be replaced. You are priceless and way more valuable than anything else in this house." Eduardo spoke softly into my ear. Now I was crying as well as I hugged him back and never wanted to let him go again. I always dreamed for a moment like this.

But then as I was standing there something came into my mind, I had to talk to Edd. He was probably wondering whether or not I was in safety or not. He saw that Eduardo was chasing after me so I think that he was probably worrying about me. Just as I thought about this I heard the door bell ring. Eduardo broke up from the hug and went towards the front door while I was following him to see who might be on the other side of this door.

It was Edd, Matt and Tom. They had helmets on their heads, helmets like the ones that football player would wear and Edd as well as Tom were carrying weapons in their hands. Edd had a baseball bat in his hands while Tom was carrying a chainsaw. Only Matt was carrying something that seemed very out of place in this whole scene, he just had a small purple hand mirror in his right hand that he used to see himself in. They hadn't seen me yet since their eyes were only observing their main target Eduardo.

Even though I found this sight very funny, I had to interfere so I positioned myself in between Eduardo and the three other males who were wearing helmets. I reacted quickly so that Edd who was already holding up his wooden bat wouldn't hurt Eduardo. "Stop! Please don't hurt him. He apologized to me and promised to never hurt me again. I forgave him. I know that what he did was terrible, but I am fine now. I was able to forgive him and to get an insight of his feelings. I thank you for your help, but I don't need any help from you anymore." I said as fast as I could which led to Edd lowering his baseball bat again.

He needed some time to process what I said but then I was able to see a smile forming on his face. "Well...uhm, I am glad that things have finally turned out for the better to the three of you and I am relieved to see that you can finally have a more peaceful live around Eduardo and Mark. I am glad that we were able to help you." Edd replied to me and gave me a last smile like Tom and Matt did before they were returning to their own house.

I let out a sigh in relief and turned back to face Eduardo. "What was that about?" The brunette male simple asked me still stunned about what happened. I just giggled nervously and replied "It's kind of a long story." Then I heard Mark coming down the stairs to check out on us. He asked if something had happened to which we just responded with shaking our head and not talking about this strange occurance. Although Mark raised an eyebrow and was probably about to ask who was at the door he decided not to ask anymore questions. I was thankful for this, at least I didn't had to explain this whole situation any further.

Mark then gave us a smile and headed upstairs again to most likely read one of the books that he had bought. Eduardo now put an arm around my shoulders to which I slightly flinched in response. I flinched unwillingly, it was a reflex from my body because I just wasn't used to be touched like this. Eduardo noticed this, but he didn't pulled his arm away from me.

"I am really sorry, I guess that I even traumatized you to a point in which even a touch like this leads to such a response from your body. But you don't have to fear anything anymore, I will make sure that you won't get hurt anymore, not from my outbursts that I will try to control way better than before and also not form anyone else. I will keep you safe until the day we both die." He stated and looked me deeply into my eyes while he was saying this.
