*kevins Pov*

Everything is black. there is nothing at all, no walls, no floors, nothing. On my left is a bright light and on my right it just gets darker. There is no way I'm going right, I have been in the dark for too damn long. I turned toward the light. What...What do I do here? I turn back to the right. Where am I at? What is this place? All I remember is....I was drowning.
"So this is it then."
I said softly and started to walk toward the left. The light got brighter and brighter as I got closer and closer.
"It's not your time Kevin."
A female voice spoke up. My vision became blurry once again and a person stood in front of me, but I cant make out  who the person is.
"Close your eyes."
the female voice said. I dont know why but I closed my eyes. When I open them again it felt like i had to voimt. I started coughing and was pushed up so i was now sitting up, coughing up water. I tightly grabbed onto the person in front of me, shut my eyes tightly. ,I almost died oh my gosh.' I thought as my body shook uncontrablly and I can't make it stop. I opened my eyes to see the person who I was holding onto is wearing a red shirt and dog tags hang from there neck. it's Eddward. Did he...he did  saved me?
"E-eddward?"
My voice came out weak and raspy, not the way I wanted it to.
" I'm right here pumpkin, I got you"
He said softly close to my ear, his voice a bit shaky. I can feel my eyes start to water "Eddward" My voice cracks and I can no long hold back my tear as I grip the sides of his shirt. Tears roll down my cheeks as I try to hold back sobs.
"You're okay now"
He whispers in my ear again and his arms tighten around me, holding me against his chest. "
Kevin, I-I thought I was going to lose you"
I rested my forehead against his chest as he rubbed circles in my back. His heart beat is  loud and fast. It was somewhat calming to me. Ignoring the whimpers from the other students I focse on his beating heart, listen carefully to every best. Bump Bump...Bump bump...bump bump. its relaxing.
"YOU TWO COME WITH ME NOW!"
I jumped at the sudden out burst from couch, lefting my head up and  looked over Edd shoulder to see Jimmy and Johnny being dragged out of the room by the back of there shirt collars.
"kevin!"
It suddenly felt like the air being squashed out of my lungs and felt the weight against my back. I looked over my shoulder slowly, Nazz and Nat hanging onto to me for dear life.
"Are you okay!? Did you hit your head? Can you breath ok?"
"I'm Fine"
again my voice came out weak and raspy. I started to shake again and tired to stop the tears from falling but they wouldn't stop.
"Kevin"
I looked up at Eddward who was looking down at me witg sad eyes. His hand brushes against my cheek softly and then moved up to my forehead,
" Are you feeling alright? Your face is flushed and You're burning"
my face is  flushed?
"Is he?"
Nat and Nazz both tired to  feel my forehead but Nazz was closer. She put the back of her hand against my forehead.
"He feels quite hot"
she pulled her hand away and stood up.
"We should take you to the nurse."
I wanted to say no. Oh how bad I wanted to say no, but I knew they would protest and take me to the nurse's office anyway. I nod my head to showed them that I'll go. I tried to stand up but Eddward stopped me and picked me up, bridle style. My face redens from embarrassment. "I have etra clothes in my locker. He shouldnt be in these wet clothes if he is sick."
Nat said as Eddward turned away and made his way to the locker room with me in his arms. Picking up his jacket that was on the floor next to the door. I turned my gaze toward him. he had the same emotional less expression he always wore  on his face. Water dripped from his wet hairs, some dripped onto his face. His hat sat on top of his head lazily, like it was going to fall off at any moment, it was quite s sight to take in but what I caught my attention was a scar that was above his left eyebrow. He looked down at me. Oh god he caught me staring! I feel the blush on my face darken. He smiles as he pushes the locker room door open. Nat who was following behind Edd rushed past us and went sright for his locker. I was sat down on thr benches as Nat set the clothes next to me on the bench before walking out of the locker room. I watched as Edd walked over to his locker and grabbed a towel out. I can't really change with him in here with me then again  he already knows about it, but there is more of them now.  Grabbing the end of my soaked sweater, pulling  It over my head, but since I was weak I couldn't get it over my  exactly.... I'm stuck. As I was trying to pull the sweater off, it was suddenly lifted off of me.
"You could ask for help you know."
  I looked up at to see Eddward with a towal around his neck and a different shirt on. His eyes went wide and he dropped the wet sweater on the ground.
"Kevin..."
I hug my arms around myself, trying to cover myself up the best i can and looked down at my feet. He kneels on front of me.
"kevin look at me."
I keep my head down  "please."
I move my eyes to  look at him but keep my head downwards.
"Who is doing this to you?" "why do you care"
I got up from the beach and turn to face the door.
"Are you just doing this for your own enjoymeant."
tears threatening to fall, but i wont let them
"Kevin please tell me who is doing this to you. I know you are not doing this to yourself."
