Have you've been away for awhile and you feel like you've missed a lot when you get back. That's how I felt when my mom brought home a kind and very special man. Little did I know that this man would change my life.

My story begins one night when I was returning home from a camping trip with my friends. "Ok, guys we're home." my friend, Denny, said opening up his van door for me to get out. My friend, Suzanne, got out of the van and then my boyfriend, Jim, got out of the van. He helped me out of the van. After I got all my stuff, I thanked Denny for driving. Jim kissed me good bye. "Don't forget your arm!" I said jokingly with Jim.

"Oh, yeah." Jim replied.

I walked into my house. I was super quiet so I wouldn't wake my parents. I walked to my room and I enter it. I set my stuff down. I then took my overcoat and my shirt off. I only have my undershirt and pants on as I go to the mirror to check my face. As I look in the mirror, I noticed a man with scissors or knives or something for hands lying in my bed. I freak out and let out an ear piercing scream. Who is this man? He's going to kill me! I ran out of the room. My screams were so loud that they woke up my parents and my brother, Kevin.

"There's something in my room! Go look!" I screamed as my mom tried to calm me down.

I saw the man come out and walk down the hallway. I freaked out even more. Luckily my dad took the man downstairs. Dad also sent Kevin back to bed. As dad was taking care of Edward, mom was in my room with me trying to calm me down. After a bit, my mom took me into Kevin's room.

"You can sleep in Kevin's room tonight." my mom whispered.

She pulled out the bottom bunk of Kevin's bed.

"Why does he have to stay here?" I complained.

"Oh my goodness Kim. I'm surprised at you." my mom replied.

She walked over to me. "Now we'll go downstairs and shake the man's hand."

I looked at her. "Shake his hand?" I asked.

"Well not literally, goodness you scared him half to death." my mom said.

"I scared him?" I asked. I beg your pardon mom but he scared me! After a minute, mom and I were walking down the basement steps.

"Hi, Bill." my mom said.

Mom brought me over to the bar counter. "I just wanted you two to have a proper introduction. Edward this is Kim. Kim this is Edward who is going to live with us." When my mom finished speaking, Edward looked at me. He had a straw hanging out of his mouth and he smelled like liquor. What had dad given him?

I gathered up my courage. "Hi." I said with the little courage I had.

Edward said nothing. He suddenly fell off the stool. My mom caught him but I backed up. I wanted no part of this strange man.

Over the next few days, Edward became really popular with the neighbors. He was asked to do many things for them. One thing was cutting bush sculptures for them. I however wanted no part of Edward. One day Jim, Suzanne and I were walking home. We were talking about Edward. Suddenly I heard a shout. "Kim!" the voice shouted.

I turned around and saw that the shout came from Edward.

"Oh no." I said quietly.

"He's calling you, Kimba!" Jim said playfully.

"Stop it!" I said quietly.

The three of us said nothing. Edward said nothing. Suddenly Jim picked me up in his arms. "Don't worry. She's waiting for you!" Jim yelled sarcastically to Edward.

Jim put me back down. We walked the other way. Unfortunely, I didn't see how sad Edward was.
