I Love You

Chapter 1

It was an early Saturday morning. The house was alone. All that could be heard was the cheery chirping coming from the early birds outside. Kevin got out of bed a little grumpy that he had gotten up at 8 a.m. without reason.

He got out of the bathroom and went downstairs. As he passed the living room he looked outside only to see a shirtless Edd getting the mail. He looked like he had just gotten out of bed. What indicated that was that his beanie was not on straight and his shoulders looked slumped.

Kevin caught himself staring. He looked away trying to forget the shirtless boy across the street but only blushed a deep shade of red not being able to forget how he looked. 'Damn he looks so cute.' Kevin thought to himself as he blushed smiling without being able to stop. He felt his stomach filled with butterflies.

He poured cereal into a bowl remembering he had to get the mail. He left the bowl of cereal on the counter and went outside to get the mail. He wasn't wearing his hat to cover his messy hair. Though it was short it still had that sexy bed head effect.

As he got the mail he looked down noticing he was only wearing his red boxers. He turned a light shade of pink just hoping no one has seen him especially Edd. He looked all around trying to see if anyone was out. 'No one should be up this early it's only 8:30 and its Saturday.' he thought to himself.

Luckily no one was around. He closed the mailbox and headed to his house as quick as he could thinking no one had seen him but oh how wrong he was.

Across the street Edd was eating breakfast on his kitchen table facing the window. He looked up noticing something move outside. 'Its only 8:30 who would be up at this time...other than me that is.' He thought to himself. As he looked up he saw "Kevin?" He said as he thought the young athlete would be sound asleep at this time. Then he noticed something. 'Ohh dear. Why is Kevin only in his undergarments.' He thought to himself noticing a blush creeping up on his face.

Edd felt something warm dripping from his chin. He had a nosebleed! "ohh dear Ohh dear Ohh dear what a mess this will make." He said as he ran to the bathroom to clean up.

He sighed and looked down "why do I even like him... he likes girls" He said as he finished cleaning up. "And even if he did like ...guys, he would never go for a nerd like me..." He told himself as he walked to his room. He plopped down on his bed trying to forget the gorgeous boy across the street thinking he'd never have a chance with him.

He started thinking about all the times he and his two friends had been bullied by kids at school. He was the main one out of the three that people would pick on because he was the weakest. Ed and Eddy could manage to protect themselves a lot more than Edd ever could.

Once in seventh grade a couple of kids had planned something for Edd after school. Of course Edd walked home alone because he liked the peace and quiet. He heard something and turned around but couldn't find the source of the sound, so he kept walking. Then a boy came up to him and stood to block Edd's way. He tried to go around the boy but he denied him any exits. The boys name was Kyle Warren. He was in a few of Edd's classes including P.E. and math class. Edd didn't like him one bit and the feeling was mutual for Kyle.

Kyle whistled like calling for someone to come out, but not only did one person come out, eight others joined him. Edd was frightened, he knew what was going to happen and he couldn't run he couldn't do anything. They started to beat him. He felt punches and kicks to his head, stomach, ribs, legs, arms his whole body was being attacked by these boys he didn't know. After what seemed like forever they stopped and ran away, laughing like they'd done something worth being proud of.

Edd laid on the cold hard ground bruising and bleeding. He stayed down for what seemed like hours but was only about thirty minutes. When he finally decided to get up his whole body hurt. He filched and winced at the pain as he walked home. He didn't want to be seen by anyone so he hurried home as fast as he could.

Edd opened the door and went to his upstairs bathroom to clean up. He took a shower then cleaned his cuts and put ointment on them. He sat on his bathroom floor crying. He didn't know why people hated him. He was always so nice to everyone but in return he got bullied no matter what. He covered his bruised face with his hands and cried softly as though he didn't want anyone to hear, but who would possibly hear him. He was all alone in that two story house his parents kept so he could go to school there.

Edd took his hands away from his face and looked forward. He opened the cabinets bellow the sink and stared into it. He looked calm. He reached into the cabinet and moved some of his cleaning supplies to either sides. He took something out something that was silver and sharp. A blade.

Edd didn't think twice, he didn't even think once, he started slashing left an right, up and down. He wanted to ease the pain. He thought this was the best way to do it. After a while he moved on to his other arm. He slashed until he finally came to a stop. He sat his back to the wall and just stayed there with his arms laying at his sides. He felt them sting but he didn't mind it. He was used to pain.

When he finally got up, the blood on his arms was dry. He felt a bit lightheaded, but nothing he couldn't handle. It hurt when he moved his arms. He took out disinfectant wipes from the cabinet and started cleaning the floor that had some blood that dripped from his arm. He soaked a little rag with Clorox and wiped where the blood had left its mark. He threw the rag in the sink and washed his hands. He washed his cuts and bandaged his arms. From then on he'd only wear long sleeves as this became a normal thing for him to do over time.
