BPOV - 8 years old.
I was sitting outside coloring. I knew that I shouldn't be outside but I also know that it isn't right to leave an 8 year old home alone. My aunt Esme had to run to work. She's not the 'Parenting' type.
It was about to rain so I was packing up my stuff. I love the rain.
There was this load crash behind me. Like someone was hitting a garbage can with a baseball bat or beating pots and pans together. I screamed.
There was a guy on the ground. I thought he was dead at first. couldn't tell. I stared as he popped up and started to brush off the dirt.
"Hello, I'm Edward."
He was about, my older brother, Jasper's size. Which means he's probably 18.
"Bella." He shook my hand as if he didn't just fall from the sky landing in my backyard!
"Nice to meet you Bella." Edward had the wildest copper hair I have ever seen. He looked like a mad man!
I don't know how to explain it, but i knew he wouldn't hurt me. We sat there and talked about everything. He told me all about a space and time and how he was a time traveler. He was absolutely crazy!
..But i believe him.
"Will you stay?"
"I can't stay."
"Why did you come, if you were just going to end up leaving?" I was pouting. So what? Everybody leaves eventually. It wasn't fair!
"I will be back, Swan." He smiled. "I don't know when or where, or even what year... but I always come back."
That was the last night I saw my imaginary friend. Edward.
