A/N a lot of you are going to hate me for this since you want to know who Steven saw in the forest. But nope, you get Kevin's POV //rolls away
Kevin's POV
By the time I was walking back to my house from the bus stop, I was dead tired. School was a bitch today. But tomorrow winter break starts! No school for three weeks! Fuck yeah. I'll have a lot of time with Steven.
Plus it'll snow soon. I doubt he has ever seen anything like it. He'll be so excited. A grin grew on my face. I suddenly had a bunch of energy, so I ran the rest of the way home. When I arrived at my front door I was out of breath.
I fumbled with my keys excitedly. I am always so excited to see Steven. I finally unlock the door and quickly swing it open, closing and locking it behind me. I set my bag down by the door.
"Steven?" I called, noticing that the room was quiet, except for the noise coming from the TV. I walked over to it and saw that the news was on. Was Steven watching it?
I looked over at the coffee table and noticed a half-eaten peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. Surely Steven would have finished it. He has quite an appetite. I looked around the room, still no sign of him. I checked the rest of the house, nothing.
At this point I was panicing. Was he pulling some sort of trick or something? I went back into the kitchen and noticed a note on the table. I picked it up and took a look at it:
Dear Kevin,
I have to leave, I'm sorry. The scientists and police spotted us when we went into the forest, when we first kissed. I don't want to risk them catching you for aiding me. I'm so sorry Kevin. I love you, and I always will. Please don't blame yourself, this is my fault.
And please, don't chase after me, or they'll catch you for sure. If they caputured you, I don't know what I would do. Please, just stay safe. I'll never forget you.
-Steven
Tears clouded my vision. I shakily held onto the letter, pulling it close to my chest. He...left? Without saying goodbye? Tears ran down my cheeks. My legs felt weak, causing me to sink to the floor. I closed my eyes tightly. Steven, you idiot. Always looking out for others when you should be looking out for yourself.
I choked out sobs. So this is what heartbreak felt like. I can't live without Steven. My life was so dull without him. A kid who got kicked out of his parents' house for being gay. The bullying I got at my old school. The stress of paying all of my bills on time.
When I thought about ending it all, I found him. Well, more like he found me. Then I realized, because of Steven I found something worth living again.
He is my world. I can't let go of it so easily, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I tightened my grip on the paper. My fists trembled. Not with grief, but with anger. How dare they try to take him away from me.
I wiped my eyes and stood up off of the floor. I headed out the door, pausing to get my phone. I should tell Eddie.what happened. I opened up my contacts and clicked on his name. The phone rang and Eddie answered after the first to rings.
"Hello?" Eddie said.
"S-Steven's gone." I murmured. I held my phone away from my ear because I knew he would yell. I could clearly understand his loud yell with tthe phone a foot away from my ear. When he calmed down I put the phone back to my ear.
"What happened? Did they catch him? Kevin tell me!" He asked quickly, sounding extremely worried. I took a deep breath.
"The police are searching our area and Steven was worried he would be caught. He left me a letter saying goodbye and to not chase after him. Like hell that will happen," I say, muttering the last part.
"Me and Aleks are coming over right now. We'll help you find him. I'm so sorry Kevin."
"Okay, please hurry." I whispered deperately. Aleks's sense of smell should help find his trail. I hung up the phone and paced around the living room nervously until I heard the doorbell ring a few minutes later.
I quickly ran to the door to open it. I saw the pale face of Aleks and Eddie's concerned expression to greet me when I opened the door. Aleks stepped forward and hugged me tightly. My eyes widened with surprise.
I found myself starting to tear up again, and soon enough I was bawling in the skinny hybrid's arms. My sobs shook both of our bodies. Aleks gently shushed me and patted my back the way a mother would when her child had a nightmare.
Unfortunately this was reality. And it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was shaking and my breaths were heavy from crying. I knew I must look like a mess, but I honestly didn't care. Aleks led me into the house and sat me down on the couch.
He sat next to me and continued to comfort me. Eddie joined in by rubbing small circles in my back and humming some Blink-182 song. I felt like a child, but I couldn't stop crying. The love of my life was missing. How could I not break down?
Eventually I stopped crying and we decided to head out the door.
I pray to god that Steven is okay. Please let him be okay. Don't let him go back to that awful place. I might never see him again if he gets taken back there. I don't know if I would be able to live with myself if he does. He has to be okay.
Right?
