My Heart EPOV
Dream flashback:
"Edward hurry up; I think I heard a car pulling in at the front," my mom said.
I exchanged some expensive items with fake ones that look exactly the same, but the fake ones don't work. My mom was at the other side of the counter while I was at the opposite side switching the counterfeit products. When I finished I jumped gracefully over the counter and handed my mom the bag.
She hugged me, and we were about to leave when we heard footsteps.
My mom took out her knife while I faced her backwards. I felt her pull her ski mask down, which was to cover her face. I also pulled mine down. She put the knife against my neck. We waited for the people who made the noise. We saw a couple of police officers come out of nowhere.
"Freeze!" yelled one of the officers.
I pretended I was being held hostage. This is like the second time we've been caught. "If you shoot I will slash his neck," my mom yelled. I suddenly heard a gunshot. My only instinct was to move, but my mom moved too. When she did, the knife she held in her right hand slashed my face through the ski mask.
I yelled in pain. I put my hands on my face but, it caused it to hurt more. I closed my eyes in pain.
I suddenly remembered my mom. I opened my eyes, but my right eye wouldn't open. I suddenly saw my mom lying on the floor with blood coming out of her chest.
I felt many emotions well up inside me: horror, sadness, anger, and disbelief.
I walked over to her, and she looked at me. I knelt down next to her and held her hand. She opened her mouth to say something, but blood came out of it. I felt tears well up in my eyes.
"E-Edward I-I lo-love you," she said.
"I love y-you to mom," I said truthfully.
I saw her close her eyes slowly, and her hand went limp in mine.
End of dream.
I woke up from my dream. The week I first had this dream I would usually wake up in a pool of sweat, but now I'm used to it.
I got up and got a white button-up shirt and jeans, and I went to take a shower.
I looked at the reflection on the mirror.
My bronze hair was messed up, my green eyes were dull and tired, my skin was pale, and the worse was my scar.
I looked at my scar in disgust. It was colored a little darker than my skin and was a little raised. It went over the left corner of my mouth over my nose on my right eye and a little above my right eyebrow. I hated it so much; I punched the face on the mirror but not hard enough to break it. I stayed in that position and calmed myself down.
I took my clothes off and took a shower.
I remember what happened after my mom di- left; they took her and me to the hospital. I remember getting twenty-five stitches that day and never seeing my mom again.
I finished taking a shower, so I got out and put my clothes on. My hair was still wet, but I didn't care. I laid on my bed thinking about that day.
Flashback: I opened my eyes or eye after the anesthesia wore off. I sat up. My face was sore. I turned my head and saw a doctor. I looked at his name tag.
It read 'Dr. Carlisle Cullen'.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"You're asking me if I'm fine," I snorted harshly. He nodded.
I gave in, "I'm a little sore but, I'm fine I guess." nobody ever asked me that before, well except for my mom.
I moved my hand and touched my injury, but it hurt when I touched it. I winced.
"It's going to hurt like that for a while, so it's best that you don't touch it," he suggested. I nodded.
"So what are you here for?" I asked a little harshly.
He looked a little shocked. "Well, I am the doctor. Shouldn't I check on the patients once in a while?" he asked.
I nodded. "If you're wondering, you'll be able to use your right eye in two weeks." he said.
I nodded. He was about to say something, but a knock cut him off.
He went to open the door, and a police officer was standing outside. I began to feel nervous but kept a straight face on.
"May I ask a few questions to….?" He started to ask while waiting for me to say my name.
"Edward Masen." I told him.
"Should I leave?" Dr. Cullen asked. "No, you may stay," the officer said. They both sat in a chair.
"Okay, Edward, all I need from you today is to tell me the truth every time I ask you a question," he told me. I nodded.
"Did that psycho kidnap you?" (Overdramatic yeah I know couldn't think of anything else. ) he asked, but the psycho part was too much.
I became furious; I leaned forward and tried to hit him.
Dr. Cullen grabbed my arms and pulled me back.
(I'm sorry for the language! it's supposed to go with his personality and stuff.) "Don't talk about my mom like that you bastard!" I yelled out at him.
"She was your mother?" he asked shocked.
"Get your facts straight before you dump stuff like that on people, you ass!" I yelled at him while struggling to get loose.
"Edward, calm down." Dr. Cullen said calmly.
"She's de-gone cause of you, you ass!" I yelled again.
"Edward, watch your language." Dr. Cullen said still trying to calm me down.
"Why the hell would you care? Now let go off me you son of a-"
"EDWARD! Watch your language and calm down," he yelled to me.
"NO! Not until I get to him first!" I yelled.
"Officer, could you please leave and come back another time, so Edward can calm down?" Dr. Cullen suggested calmly.
The officer nodded and walked to the door.
"NO! Come back you-" I struggled harder.
He opened the door and left.
"Damn it!" I yelled and stopped struggling.
"You can let go of me now!" I told Dr. Cullen.
He let go of me and I slumped back in my bed.
"Ass," I mumbled.
He sat on a chair and looked at me.
"What? What are you staring at me for?" I asked.
"Why did you get mad like that?" he asked with concern.
"Didn't you hear me? That was my mom; they ki- took my mom away from me, and that ass called my mom a psycho!" I yelled at him.
"Why did they call your mom that?" he asked curious.
"Me and my mom would steal stuff," I muttered under my breath.
He nodded for me to continue.
I felt sad and mad and got uncomfortable.
"She did that stuff for me," I said nervously and while remembering.
"When did you and your mom start doing that?" he asked.
"I don't remember." I replied truthfully.
He nodded.
"How did you get the cut?" he asked.
"It was an accident." I replied quickly and nervously.
I was still a little sad and mad.
"What happened to your mother?" he asked.
I winced. "I don't want to talk about it." I replied quickly and with a bit of anger.
I felt tears forming in my eyes but held it in, plus it hurt my right eye.
"It's alright to cry," he said reassuringly.
"It hurts, that's why I'm not crying." I said in pain.
"Your pain killers must be wearing off; I'll give you more." he said while leaving the room.
The forming tears went away, but the pain didn't. It started getting worse.
I put my hands against my face putting pressure on it.
I felt a sharp pain on my face.
I looked at my hands, and blood was all over it.
I started feeling dizzy.
"Edward, what happened?" Dr. Cullen asked.
"I had a nose bleed. What the hell do you think happened? My stitches opened." I yelled saying the last part like a question. (Note the sarcasm)
He gave me a shot with the painkillers in them and took out a sewing kit. (The ones for the hospital.)
My eye started to close slowly, and I fell asleep.
I woke up in the same room, and I saw Dr. Cullen looking at a chart next to my bed.
"Dr. Cullen, what are you doing here?" I asked him dazed.
"I came to check on you, and please call me Carlisle." he said.
I nodded, and I sat up.
"Edward, do you have any family members that could take care of you?" he asked.
"No." I replied sadly. He nodded.
"Do you have a family?" I asked him randomly.
He nodded.
"I have a wife and two adopted children." he replied. "What are their names?" I asked.
He sat on a chair and said, "My wife's name is Esme and our kids are her niece and nephew, Rosalie and Jasper. They come with me to work every day since its summer vacation at their school."
(An: from here till the last part of the FB is the part I'm most skeptical about)
"Oh, I've only been in school from pre-kinder to 3rd." I said.
His face looked shocked.
"How old are you Edward?" he asked me.
"I'm twelve." I replied.
His face looked even more shocked.
"I'll be right back." he said. He left, and I was alone.
I grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V.
I heard the door open.
I saw Carlisle standing at the door with the kids who I think were the kids he was talking about earlier.
"Edward, I would like you to meet Rosalie and Jasper." he said.
I looked at them. Rosalie and Jasper both had disgusted faces on.
"Hi?" I asked harshly while rolling my eyes.
"Hi!" they both said.
"Hi." I said again. "Edward, they are going to teach you the things you don't know." Carlisle said.
I rolled my eyes.
'I don't need help.' I thought.
End of flashback.
"Edward! Can you hear us?" my friend Tyler asked.
I blinked my eyes.
"Yeah, Sorry, I fazed out for a bit." I said.
"We've been trying to wake you for 5 minutes." Ben said.
I rolled my eyes and got up to put my shoes on. I finished putting my shoes on and walked downstairs with them and went outside. We usually talked and did pranks on each other when we go outside, plus I have my place to go to.
"Miss me?" someone suddenly asked.
I immediately knew who it was, Tanya. Not to sound selfish, but she's obsessed with me and I hate it.
I rolled my eyes. "No, now leave me alone." I said in my most calm but harsh voice.
She got mad. "Whatever!" she yelled while storming off.
'And she calls me a loser.' I thought.
Mike came over.
"Stay away from Tanya." he said harshly.
"I don't like her." I replied desperately getting annoyed.
He stomped away mad.
"Edward, how can you not like Tanya. She's HOT!" Tyler exclaimed.
"Well, I just don't think she's 'hot'. She's not my type, I guess." I replied simply.
"Then what is your type?" Ben asked.
I shrugged. I suddenly heard tires coming up on our street. It was a taxi cab.
It pulled up into our drive way. I saw a girl with brown hair and brown eyes get out of the cab. She was wearing a dark blue shirt and jeans.
I thought she was beautiful!
I looked around and everybody was staring at her like the day I came here.
I looked back at her and our eyes met.
I blinked my eyes 'cause my right eye couldn't stay open for long since it stings.
I saw her social worker follow her inside.
Everybody resumed to what they were doing.
"Finally, a new person came. It's been five months since Edward came." my friend Eric said.
"Finally, you're here, Eric. You missed a lot." Tyler said.
I rolled my eyes.
"They are annoying. Tanya is all over me 'cause I don't like her, and Mike keeps bugging me 'cause he thinks I like her." I said.
"How can you not like her?" Eric asked.
"I thought you liked Angela?" I said/asked teasingly.
"Nah, she likes Ben." He said.
"She does?" Ben yelled surprised.
'We are pathetic.' I thought.
I laughed mentally, but we continued talking.
After we continued talking about whom likes who I decided to take a brake and go to my place.
"Guys, I'll be back later." I told them.
They nodded already knowing why I'm going, but they don't know where it is.
I went behind our home and took a trail that I made. But, nobody knows it is a trail 'cause I disguised it to make it look like everything was put there naturally.
Flashback:
I was wandering around the woods when an idea struck me. I was going to build a place where I could hang out by myself.
The trees were short and slim, so I just pushed them out of the way.
It took me two days to take down the trees, plus if I stayed longer people would notice.
I found a hammock back at the orphanage, so I took it to my place.
I found a spot that had shade and two trees capable to hold me and the hammock up.
A few days later, I found a blanket, hung it on a tree, and used it to hold snacks and drinks. We get an allowance, so I bought a mini fan and a table to hold it up. When I got more allowance, I bought a mini T.V with an antenna, so I could get channels. It was rechargeable, so I could just bring it to my home and charged it there.
End of flashback.
I made it to my place, and I sat on the hammock. I started to think where I left off before Tyler interrupted.
Flashback:
Jasper and Rosalie became my friends and so did Carlisle.
We usually got into arguments 'cause they tried helping me with things I didn't know, but by the end of the week, they taught me basic things I needed to learn.
Carlisle said that I was a fast learner.
"Edward, I'm going to give you painkillers 'cause I'm going to remove your stitches so your wound can heal on its own." he said as he entered into my room.
I nodded.
He gave me the painkillers, and I dozed off.
I woke up with Rosalie and Jasper sitting next to me watching TV, and Carlisle was checking my chart.
I sat up and suddenly felt dizzy.
"The painkillers haven't worn off yet." Jasper said.
"I think I know." My voice sounded slurred.
Everybody laughed, but I just got annoyed.
I lied back down in my bed and waited for everybody to stop laughing.
I touched my wound. I winced. It felt lumpy and hard.
"Do you have a mirror?" I asked.
Rosalie and Jasper held in their laughs while Rosalie took out a mirror from her purse and gave it to me.
I looked at my face; the cut was a little raised and there was a scab on it.
I grimaced at the way it looked.
I gave Rosalie her mirror back quickly.
"Its okay, Edward. The scab will go away quickly." Jasper said reassuringly.
I nodded. Jasper knows how to calm people down fast.
"Can I walk around a bit? I need to stretch my legs." I asked. My slurred voice was gone.
"You can't walk around the hospital, but you may walk outside the hospital." Carlisle replied.
"Can we go with you?" Rosalie asked.
"I'm not the boss of you." I replied.
They knew me well that it meant yes.
"Where are my clothes?" I asked really wanting to get out of this stupid gown.
"They had a lot of blood, so we threw them away." Carlisle replied.
"Then what am I going to wear?" I asked.
"Jasper, do you have any clothes that Edward can borrow?" Carlisle asked jasper.
He nodded and left the room.
He came back with jeans and a black shirt.
"Do you like them?" Jasper asked.
I nodded. I went in the bathroom took off the stupid gown and put on the clothes.
I went back in my room and put on my shoes.
"I'm ready." I told them.
We left my room and went in the elevator which led us to the first floor.
We used the first entrance closest to the elevator.
As we walked past a couple of people, I overheard them talk about me.
"Mommy, why is that man's face ugly?" a little girl asked her mom.
"Do you think he got in a crash or he did that to himself?" a lady asked her friend.
"I think he did that to himself." her friend replied.
"That cut must've hurt when he got It." a man said to his wife.
"It looks really gross!" she replied.
I rolled my eyes. "Edward, you okay? You look annoyed?" Jasper asked.
I nodded sternly. "Asses." I mumbled under my breath.
"What?" Rosalie asked.
"Nothing." I replied.
She shrugged. We walked for a while until Rosalie got tired and we sat on a bench.
"When do you guys go back to school?" I asked.
"Two months" Jasper replied. (My vacation lasts for about 3 months)
"We've been on vacation for a month already." Rosalie said.
I nodded.
"Do you go to school?" Rosalie asked.
"Well, why the hell do you think you've been teaching me all this crap back at my room for the past week?" I asked sarcastically. Jasper snickered.
"Oh yeah." Rosalie said.
All of us laughed.
*a little later*
I waited by the main entrance of the hospital as Jasper and Rosalie came jogging over to my spot.
"I thought you were in track?" I asked Jasper smugly.
"I am." Jasper said out of breath.
Rosalie was last.
"How did you run so fast? You were behind us." Rosalie said also out of breath.
"Can't tell you." I said.
We went back in my room.
I lied down on my bed while Rosalie and Jasper sat on the couch.
"You never told us where and how you got that cut." Rosalie asked randomly.
I winced.
"I fell and hit a rail." I replied.
'Nice save.' I thought.
"Why haven't we seen your parents before?" Jasper asked.
I shivered and took a deep breath.
"Nope, don't have parents." I said simply.
"So you're like a Hobo?" Rosalie asked.
I nodded.
'Wow that's a stupid question.' I thought.
"I . . . guess." I said awkwardly.
"We don't have parents either." jasper said.
"Yeah they died in a car accident a few days after we were born." rosalie added.
I nodded in response.
"Who is going to take care of you?" Jasper asked randomly.
I shrugged.
"Maybe you can live with us?" Rosalie suggested.
I shrugged again.
"Guys, get ready to go home." Carlisle said.
"Aww." Jasper and Rosalie complained.
I smiled. I put my hands behind my head.
"Bye Edward." they said as they were leaving the room.
I gave them a nod.
They left the room.
"Carlisle, could you not tell them about my mom?" I asked him before he got a chance to leave.
"Sure Edward." he replied.
I nodded. He left too. I got the remote and watched T.V.
A few minutes later, Carlisle returned.
"Edward, I'm going to check your eye." Carlisle said.
I nodded.
"Close your left eye." he said.
I did what he told me to do.
"I'm going to open your right eye, so the light might irritate your eye." he said.
I nodded.
When he opened my eye, everything looked white, and then it adjusted.
He took out a small flashlight and pointed it to my eye.
"Your eye is fine. You'll be able to use your eyelid in a week. It's just recovering." he said.
I nodded.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Nine." he replied.
I nodded. I felt sleepy. Carlisle left. I tuned off the T.V. I had to put on the stupid gown again.
I put it on, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.
End of F.B.
It was turning late, so I decided to head back to my room.
I thought about the new girl. I couldn't forget those eyes; her eyes were indescribable.
I shook those eyes out of my head.
Some people were inside for dinner which was cereal.
Our 'babysitter' –it's what I call her- can't make food, so she gives us cereal.
I grabbed a dispensable bowl of cereal and went upstairs.
My room was on the third floor, but I didn't care. I went in my room and lied down on the floor. The cool thing about this place is that it has a T.V., a bunk bed, a bathroom, a shower, a desk, and two drawers.
It isn't much, but I didn't have as many things before.
I turned the T.V on and ate my cereal.
I fell asleep on the floor.
Flashback dream: Another week has passed. I was able to open and close my eye now, and pieces of the scab would disappear every time I took a shower.
I also took my trial in front of the jury (will be explained).
Carlisle also took me out to buy clothes and shoes, plus a suite case.
I would've left the hospital already 'cause I'm sort of recovered, but Carlisle said I was a minor and you know. . . .
I was watching T.V when I heard a knock at the door.
"Come in!" I yelled.
Carlisle came through the door.
"I found you a home to live in, Edward." Carlisle said.
"Well, it's an orphanage." he said again.
I nodded.
"You'll be leaving today." he said.
I nodded sadly.
"I'll miss you, Edward." Carlisle said.
"You're a great kid, and you're like a son to Me." he said with a hand on my shoulder.
"I'll miss you, too." I said.
We gave each other a hug, and then he left.
Rosalie and Jasper came in.
They gave me a hug and helped me pack.
"Bye, bro, we'll miss you." Jasper said.
I was confused. I was like a brother to them?
"I'm like a brother to you?" I asked. "I sometimes act like a bastard, and you think of me as a brother and I've only known you guys for two weeks?" I asked again.
"That's what we like about you; you act like yourself." Jasper said.
I crookedly smiled.
"Yeah." Rosalie said.
She had a few tears fall down from her eyes. Jasper looked like he was sad.
"You're our bastard." they both said.
I laughed.
Carlisle came in.
"Where is the orphanage?" I asked suddenly. "Boise, Idaho." he said with a bit of hesitation.
I let out a sigh.
End of F.B.D.
I felt someone trying to wake me up.
I opened my eyes. It was the new girl.
"You fell asleep on the floor, and you looked uncomfortable, so I woke you up." she said.
I nodded. I got up from the floor; I was really stiff.
"Yeah, the floors here are crappy." I said as I threw the dispensable bowl in the trash.
She giggled.
My heart beated faster.
'That is strange' I thought.
I got a white muscle shirt and black sweat pants out of my drawer.
I went in the restroom and changed. I didn't look in the mirror afraid of punching it again.
I got out of the restroom.
The new girl was already changed in a red shirt and blue shorts.
I guess this is her room, too.
"What's your name?" I asked.
She was staring at me.
Probably cause of my scar.
I rolled my eyes.
She snapped out of it and blushed.
"Thanks for looking at my scar." I said harshly.
"Oh, sorry, I wasn't looking at your scar. It's just your eyes look familiar." she said.
I nodded.
"What's your name?" I repeated.
"Ummm, Bella swan." she said.
I nodded.
"Name's Edward Masen." I said.
I lied down on my bed.
"Your friends were looking for you." she said.
"I know." I said before I drifted off to sleep.
