-PREFACE-
The message Edward had left for me this morning told me I was supposed to meet him outside his apartment at 6. I'd arrived 10 minutes late due to the make-over his little sister Alice had insisted on giving me and yet Edward was still not down. As I waited I thought about the events of the past year.
Today is the 15th May 2017.
Today is the day I turn 20.
Today is the day I have been with Edward for a year.
Today is the day I have been clean for a year.
To celebrate Edward has planned us an evening out together, only he is almost twenty minutes late. Another five minutes passed and I pressed the intercom buzzer to hurry him up, I was in no real rush but it was rather cold and if Edward simply wasn't ready yet I would much rather have waited inside the apartment. To my surprise it was not Edward's voice I heard on the other end of the intercom.
Panic, guilt and longing ran through my veins as I recognised the voice.
"Hello sweetheart, did you miss me?"
