Chapter 1 Edward (POV) 6 years old
Edwards in his room coloring. When he hears a crash. He runs down stairs to see his mom (Elizabeth) on the floor with broken glass everywhere, bleeding. Edward realizes its a broken vase. Edward runs to go help his mother when all of a sudden he hears a gun shot, he looks up and sees his dad (Edward Sr.) with a gun.
"Mom, mom" Edward said with tears running down his face.
"Mommy wake up" Edward says again.
When she doesn't wake up he runs to his dad.
"Dad wake up" he says, and still nothing.
Edward gets up and runs to the neighbors house and his best friend Alice Brandon. He runs to the door but before he can even knock the door opens and Alice is in front of him. She looks at Edward.
"Edward whats wrong?" Alice asks.
"Th-Th-They're g-g-gone." he slumps down to the ground an Alice runs and gives him a hug.
" Mom." Alice yells. Then Edward is taken from Alice's arms and into Esme's. While Alice tells her whats wrong.
"Shh, its ok Edward, shh don't cry." She says as she pats his back and soon he falls asleep.
Alice (POV)
"Alice get me a glass of water for Edward when he wakes up, Please." Esme said to me.
"Ok mommy" I said and ran into the kitchen. I felt really bad for Edward weve been friends since we were babies and i've never seen him cry before. I wonder were Edward is going to live now? Maybe he can live with us!
"Hey mom, where is Edward going to live now?" I asked her.
"I don't know Alice." Mommy said with a sad face.
"Mom can Edward live with us?" I asked hopefully.
"Let me talk to your father about that ok?" She asked.
"Ok." I said and went up the stairs to give Edward his water and to make sure he was ok.
Edward (POV)
I woke up disoriented and my throat dry. I looked around trying to figure out where i was. I then saw a glass of water on the table next to the bed and drank it graciously. Then I remember what happened. My mom and dad were dead. As in, never coming back. I'm 6 years old and have no parents. Then tears started streaming down my face. "I'm alone." I thought. After a couple of minutes I wiped the tears away. Then my door opened.
"Hey Edward your awake." My best friend Alice said. She came and sat by me. I just sat there stairing at the wall not saying a word.
Finally Alice spoke."Hey Edward I brought you a sandwich."
Again I said nothing, just sat there. I started thinking, thinking about my mom and dad again. Alice gave me a hug as i cried. "Why did they leave me Alice?" I asked. "Didn't they love me? I mean I'm only 6 years old and I'm their son. How could they abandon me like this?" I asked as Alice sat there and held me until my tears started to slow. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Alice said. Esme opened the door.
"Edward, honey there's a lady coming here tomorrow to talk to you ok?" Esme asked.
"Yes." I whispered.
"Edward its going to be ok." She said. Trying to make me feel better.
"Esme, Alice?" They looked at me and said "yes."
"Can I just be alone for a while?" I asked.
They both nodded and exited the room. I laid there stairing at the wall again and eventually fell asleep.
