Immortal Loves

A Place In The Heart

Chapter 1

Bella's POV:

I closed the door of my older brother, Emmett's car and watched him rush into the house. He was in a hurry to get alone on the phone with Rosalie, which I didn't mind. Who knows what they talk about.. I look over at the yard next to ours and saw our neighbor Esme leading a boy into her house by holding his hand. I raised an eyebrow looking at the boy since he wasn't wearing any clothes, only a blanket was thrown around him. What the hell?

Esme had noticed me looking over and blushed softly. The boy looked over at me and seemed so unbothered by the fact he was not wearing any clothes. He had even smiled at me and raised his hand slightly waving to me a little bit, which exposed more of what was hidden in the towel. I had blushed softly and waved back looking away quickly after. Something about him seemed so strange his eyes were very curious of everything that was around him, as if it was his first time seeing it.

A few days later when I was in my room finishing up homework I heard the doorbell ring, I went downstairs to see that my mother had already answered the door. Carlisle and Esme stood at the door, the boy I saw earlier this week was holding Esme's hand again.

"Come inside." I heard my mother say. Then as she opened the door for them to come in she looked towards me. "Why don't you come downstairs Bella? You too Emmett." I hadn't even realized that my brother was behind me but we went downstairs in the same order.

We all sat down on the couches looking at each other but the boy was looking around the room with a grin on his face.

"What did you say that you wanted to talk about?" My mother had asked.

"The boy I'm sure you have noticed him by now." Esme said with a small laugh. "Bella saw him earlier this week." I nodded softly and smiled lightly.

"Did you to finally adopt?" Emmett spoke up.

"No, he kind of came to us." Carlisle said. "We don't know where he came from. But we were given permission to take him in."

"What's your name?" I said to the boy trying to invite him into the conversation, he had only looked at me.

"He doesn't speak, either that or he is extremely shy. We are beginning to think that he could just be mute." Carlisle informed me. I felt really stupid. "We agreed to go with the name Edward."

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." Esme added.

It wasn't the first time that I had heard that name around them before. Esme and Carlisle we supposed to have a child. It would be a year older than me if it was still alive. She had miscarriage. Ever since then she couldn't carry another child. It was sad from what I have been told from my mother. They were very excited for it to come. I think that her not being able to have children caused a few problems in their marriage. That's just me.

"We were wondering if you could watch him for a little while. We are supposed to go to the police station to answer a few questions. They are a bit curious about him. Why he was found naked roaming around.. other thing too." Esme said looking at us hopefully. She made me never want to say no to her.

"I was just heading out to run some errands, the kids can stay with him they are responsible enough." My mother said with a smile and Esme nodded.

"That should be fine. He should get to know them maybe they can be friends at school." Carlisle said with a grin he stood with Esme and my mother.

Just as soon as they had come Carlisle and Esme were gone. Only this time my mother had left too. Me and Emmett looked at each other not sure what to do with a boy who didn't talk that much. Emmett had moved to sit down on the couch beside Edward, and Edward looked at as if he was amazed by his muscular figure then, It looked like he was comparing his arm to Emmett's in his head. I couldn't help but to giggle.

"He acts as if everything is new to him." I said smiling at Emmett.

"He does seem that way." Emmett agreed. "Do you think that he knows what's going on with him? Or what we are talking about?"

"I think that he would be paying more attention to it if he did." I said then I heard a strange sound come from one of them.

"I think that he is hungry." Emmett said looking at him. I only laughed thinking that he was using it as an excuse to hide his stomach's noise's. I looked over at Edward and noticed that he was looking at his stomach as if it had just spoke to him.

"Well you were right." I stood up and picked up something from what Esme was always doing, I held my hand out to him and his slipped into mine without a problem. I guess that he responded to gestures better than speaking.

"Let's play with him." Emmett said following us to the kitchen.

"He isn't a toy." I laughed pulling out a stool next to the island so that he could sit down.

"Well we could see what he enjoys eating." He said with a soft grin.

I laughed lightly and nodded. "Okay," I had finally agreed.

Emmett started off by cutting a lemon and handing a slice to Edward. Edward held out his hand as Emmett held it out and gave it to him. Then Edward looked over at me as if he wasn't sure how to eat a lemon. I had smiled softly taking a slice myself and taking a bite. He did too except he was new to the sour taste and puckered his lips lightly then made a disgusted face setting it away from himself. I giggled softly.

"What should be next?" I asked Emmett looking up at him.

"Sweets?" Emmett asked then to our pantry we had candy there that he usually bought and stocked up on. I smiled softly and opened a small packet of skittles for Edward and pouring some into his hand. This time he didn't need me to show him what to do he put them in his mouth chewing them then smiling at me.

"You want more?" I said smiling thinking. "Tell me that you want more." I said holding the bag of skittles up slightly.

It was silent for a few moments as Edward had looked from me to Emmett. I looked over at Emmett and he looked like he didn't expect anything to happen but Edward did speak.

"More... Please..?" I had looked at him in shock. He had even said please. He did know. I handed over the bag and looked at him sitting down beside him.

"You spoke." I said amazed I laughed lightly. "There is so much that I would like to ask you."

"More Please?" He said looking at me I had realized he had finished and looked over at Emmett for him to hand him what he wanted. I was beginning to think that he didn't know what I was talking about again.

"Why were you naked when I first saw you?" I asked him confused.

His face only mirrored my own. "I don't know." He said before he started to eat again.

"Well where did you come from where you allowed naked?" I asked raising an eyebrow curiously. Maybe he was just drunk and couldn't remember the night. "Or where you born?"

"I came here from the woods. I was naked there. So I don't know." He said after he swallowed what he had been chewing on.

"How old are you?" I asked chewing on my lip lightly. I was really starting to worry about this boy now. How could he not know any of that?

"I'm not sure about that either." He said then he stopped. "Are you upset with me now?" He looked almost afraid that I would be so I sighed and shook my head.

"No I'm Not." I said softly.

"Every one just wants to know about you and we can't do that if you don't even know." Emmett informed him. "I don't see how you don't know but.." Emmett started to trail off.
