Yet another story. This idea just popped into my head.
5 YEARS OLD
"Edward, go away"
"No, I wanna play" Jasper pushes me back with his hand "You two are mean" Pushing the door open with both my hands, I hold the railing and walk downstairs.
"Hey sweetie, what's the sad face for?" Mom crouches down in front of me.
"Emmett and Jasper are mean and won't let me play with them"
"Why don't you go see what your dads doing?" I run out the side door and into the garage.
Carlisle is under his shiny, black car; only his legs are sticking out. I giggle at the fact he's only a pair of legs. He slides out from under the car and smiles at me.
"Hey little man, what's up?"
"I'm not little!" I cross my arms over my chest "Emmett and Jasper are being mean to me"
"I'll have a word with them. You wanna see something I got you?"
"YEAH!" I grin and watch as he walks over to the bigger black car. I think it's called an SUV. The trunk opens and he pulls out a shiny, blue bike. He places it down in front of me, puts a black helmet on my head and tells me to climb on.
"You like it?"
"This is awesome!" I look up at Carlisle. He isn't my real dad but he is my dad. My real dad left mom when I was born. Carlisle teaches me everything though; how to ride my bike, how to throw a baseball and football and loads of other cool stuff "Thanks dad" I get off the bike and hug his leg. I've never called him dad before but he is my dad now.
"Your more than welcome son" He picks me up and hugs me against his chest.
Once he puts me back down, I see him wipe under his eyes. He tells me they are happy tears and to go play on my bike but be careful. After clipping my helmet on, I ride out into the front drive. It's really big so I don't have to go down the little road and into the big road. I'm not allowed down there unless I'm with mom or dad.
While I'm riding round, a shiny, red truck pulls up. I stop cycling round to see who it is. Dad comes down from the porch with mom. A man gets out with a moustache. He goes round the other side and pulls a little girl out the truck. He places her down and the adults start talking. I look at her. She's got really long brown hair, longer than moms. She's got denim overalls on with a blue t-shirt on. I've got overalls but I don't have them on today. I have black short and a red t-shirt on. She also has big, brown eyes; mine are green like grass. She's really small, like a peanut.
"Hi, my names Edward" I smile and put my hand out.
"Bewa" She smiles at me.
"She means Bella" The tall man with the moustache chuckles. I nod and smile at him.
Mom makes us come inside. Moustache man is Charlie, he's Bella's dad. Since there isn't an adult outside, I can't go on my bike. Mom puts the cartoons on for us so me and Bella sit on the sofa and watch SpongeBob. Bella giggles every now and then.
"Your hair is really long"
"Yours is messy" She looks up at my hair "I like it"
"Thanks"
While were watching TV, Bella falls asleep on the edge of the sofa. I turn to volume down a bit so she doesn't wake up; dad does it when mom falls asleep. Emmett and Jasper come down the stairs and walk past the living room.
"Hey look Jazz, someone smaller than Edward" The two of them laugh.
"Shut up" I scowl at them.
"Don't tell me to shut up short stuff" Emmett raises his voice slightly.
"Stop shouting, she's asleep"
"Awww, is she your girlfriend?" Jasper smirks.
"No!"
The two of them laugh and leave the house. They can go out because they are older than me. I'm only 5 but Emmett and Jasper are both 11. They are stupid heads. Charlie comes in and wakes Bella up because they have to go. She rubs her eyes with her little hands and looks round.
"We gotta run gorgeous"
"Why?"
"I have to go the shops and then take you to Mrs Cope for the night"
"Don't wanna go" She looks over at me and crawls to my side "Wanna stay wiff Ted"
"Please Ma"
"She can stay here with us, there is plenty of room"
"Sure?"
"Of course"
"Alright, I'll bring her a bag over on my way to work"
Bella smiles up at me and I smile back down at her. Mom lets us help with making dinner; we are having pasta and chicken. Dad speaks to Emmett and Jasper when they come back in. When they both come in to the kitchen, I think they are going to hang me off the back of the door again. They did that once, I was stuck up there for ages. When they heard mom and dad were back, they got me down and acted like nothing happened.
"Hey Ed, we are sorry"
"Yeah man, we just aren't used to having such a young brother" Jasper smiles.
"Start again?" Emmett grins.
"No more being mean?" I raise my eyebrows.
"No more being mean. Well unless someone upsets you, we'll be mean to them!" Emmett cracks his knuckles and raises his hand. I high five them both and they ruffle my hair.
Esme smiles at the three of us and tells me and Bella to go play. We go in the backyard to play. Emmett and Jasper ask do I want to play catch. I look over at Bella and see her looking at the flowers Esme planted. I nod and the three of us throw the ball round between us. For one second, I turn to check Bella is okay when the football hits me right on my eyebrow.
"Oh shit! You okay Ed?" The two boys rush over.
Lying on the grass, I hold my hand to my head. My head really hurts. When I pull my hand back, it's covered in blood.
"I'm gonna die!" I cry out. Bella crouches down next to me and holds me other hand.
"Gotta get pwaster" He tugs me hand.
"Come on little man, we need to get that covered. Can you stand up?" Jasper and Emmett wait while I stand up, not letting go of Bella's hand.
Emmett runs ahead while Jasper walks next to me.
"Mom! Edward's head is bleeding" Emmett shouts as he walks into the house.
Jasper tells me to keep my hand pressed against my head so I do. Bella is still at my side. When we get to the kitchen, dad lifts me up onto the island and mom gives him the first aid kit. Once it's cleaned up, dad says it isn't too deep and I won't need to go the hospital. He puts a plaster over it and mom kisses it better. Dad puts me back on my feet and tells me not to run round. Emmett and Jasper go back outside and me and Bella sit watching TV till dinner.
After dinner, mom gives Bella a bath and gets her in her pyjamas. She has the same as me, a onsie, but hers are smaller and blue. I have blue ones but mine are different. I get bathed and mom takes the plaster off my head. I get changed into my red onesie and pull the hood up. Mom buys me loads of them because she said I look cute in them. I got every colour and I even have a batman one and a ninja turtle one.
"You want socks?"
"No thanks ma"
"Okay, bed time"
I climb into bed and mom pulls the covers over me. Leaning forward, she kisses my forehead and tucks me in.
"Where's Bella sleeping?"
"Next door in the guest room"
"Can't she stay here?"
"I'll ask her okay?" I nod and mom leaves. She soon comes back carrying Bella who's carrying a teddy bear "She would like to stay with you" Esme puts her in the bed next to me and tells us both goodnight before leaving the room.
"Goodnight Bella"
"Goodnight Ted" She kisses my cheek and falls asleep; hugging her teddy.
I place my hand on my cheek and look at her sleeping. Leaning forward, I do what mom does and kiss her forehead. She moves in her sleep but doesn't wake up. I smile and close my eyes to fall asleep.
Cute little 5 year old Edward :)
