A/N: Ok, so XxAmanda is a Jasper's GirlxX and I, have decided to co-author this story!! We called it Concrete Angel because if you have ever seen the music video for Concrete Angel, it is about a little girl who is severely abused. This is Esme's life before she became a vampire!!

Esme:

I wasn't too fond of remembering my past. My father hadn't been to...Kind.

December 15, 1900

"Daddy!" I yelled, running up to my father. Today I was five years old. I never really understood why my mother cowered from him, but I knew that I was his princess.

"Hey sweet cakes." he was the tallest man that I knew...and I knew a lot of mans 'cause they were people from daddy's business. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug. I was in my best dress and ready for my party. Just then the doorbell rang. All my friends were here.

"Esme, darling. Your friends are here!" My mom called from downstairs. My dad took my hand and led me down the stairs. I loved being his little princess. He was always so nice to me. When we got downstairs I saw my bestest friend Marie. She came gave me a hug and her mom gave my mom my present. Shortly after that, everyone else was arriving. We had an amazing party, except that I could hear mom and dad fighting the whole time upstairs. That's all they did anymore. They don't think that I notice. So, I don't tell them. I tried to have fun, but when it was time for everyone to go home Marie noticed that I wasn't having fun.

"Esme, what's wrong??"

"It's nothing Marie, it's just that my parents are ALWAYS fighting and they never get along."

"It'll all be ok, Esme."

"I hope so." I gave her a hug and she left. There was no one left. I saw mom come downstairs crying. I ran over to her and hugged her. Why was my mom crying?? Then my dad walked down.

"I'll set the table. Lynette, are you going to make dinner?" She stopped crying.

"Yeah, I'll get on that." she gave me a hug "so how was your party??" She started walking towards the kitchen and I followed her.
"It was great! Why were you crying mommy?"

"Oh, it's nothing you need to worry about Esme, darling."

That is all I remember of that day.
