Hey! So this Idea has been in my head for awhile and I've finally settled down and put thought on paper. Hope you enjoy it!
I don't own twilight...I just play with the characters!

Take it all back 'cause it don't mean nothing ~
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
Wake up every morning and there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care
I remember that day as if it were yesterday.
Ever since I could remember Edward has had a thirst for all things music. He spent so much time at this music shop in Port Angeles that the storeowner offered him a job for his piano playing ability, which attracted customers and inspired newcomers. Mum and Dad were leery at first given that Edward was only fourteen when he started but after awhile everyone got into the routine. Fridays and Saturdays Edward would play at the store after school to closing. Mum usually picked him up and on the odd day that I was off work early I'd swing by and we'd go out for a bite to eat.
We weren't the closest of brothers, with me being ten years older than him, but with that being said I was rather close to our sister Alice who's fourteen years my junior. See our parents (Carlisle and Esme) had me while they were still in high school and by their mid twenties they had Edward, then a few years later Alice…But back to that day.
It was September 2nd of 2005. School was about to start and Edward would only be able to work at the music store one day a week. He was going into his Final year of high school and was getting ready to start sending in some college applications. It was Friday and Mum had called a few hours before Edward would be off work. Edwards car was in the shop and Esme had planned on picking him up but Dad was pulling a double shift at the hospital and managed to get a decent break so he and Mum were going to have a quick dinner.
I was on what I like to call 'baby watch'. My wife Rosalie was now six days overdue and we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our son. After I ended my call with Mum, Rosalie and I got comfortable on the couch and watched a movie. Somewhere between and opening credits and the movie's main menu playing a loop Rosalie and I had fallen asleep. I woke up with a start and saw that the time was 9:47pm. I jumped off the couch causing Rosalie to flinch awake. "Baby? What's wrong?" she asked sleepily.
"Shit, I just, I was suppose to pick Edward up from work" I said as I grabbed my wallet and keys. I kissed Rosalie and the cheek and quickly headed to my car.
By the time I arrived at the store it was 10:11pm. I got out of the car and looked in the storefront window, there were no lights on or any signs that anyone was here. I pulled my phone out and called my parents' house. The machine picked up, I ended the call and called my Mum.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Mum..um I was kinda late getting Edward and just wondering if he called you?"
"No..he didn't.. why? Where is he?"
"That's the thing I kinda just got to the store now and he's not here…"
"Oh!..um well uh I-I'm sure he's okay. I'm just on my way home right now actually"
"Okay I'm just going to walk around a bit, see if he's at a café or pay phone.."
"Okay sweetie, I'll call you as soon as I get home"
"I'm sorry Mum"
"No, don't be. I love you sweetheart"
"Love you too".
I must have walked all over Port Angeles that night. Mum called as soon as she arrived home, Edward wasn't there and according to Alice she hadn't heard from him. By the time midnight rolled around Mum had gone over to stay with Rosalie and Dad had gotten off work and called around to see if anyone had heard or seen Edward. By 12.30 I was beyond panic and headed to the Port Angeles Police Department. Since Edward was still 17, they were able to put act right away. They put an APB out on Edward but nothing turned up. I was beside myself, this was all my fault. I was supposed to pick him up. Me! I let him down and now, now he was who knows where and in who knows what condition.
All I know is that I left my Brother down.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
