Firstly, the characters and their likeness do not belong to me. They are all Meyer's babies and I'm just telling my story through them
Secondly, please be kind. This is something close to my heart that I have been working on and I'll be updating as quickly as I can once I feel the next chapter The prologue is the shortest chapter that I will publish, the rest have turned out significantly longer.
Any constructive reviews or thoughts are welcome during this process.
Prologue
As I sit in the little waiting room at the hospital, all I can think is, how did we get here? How did he get here? Driven, smart, charming and beautiful, but he still chose this path. The man I fell in love with and the man that came home last night weren't the same person.
I heard the door opening and looked up to see a nurse, no older than myself, hesitantly enter the room the pastor had placed me in earlier.
"Ms. Swan? My name is Rebecca. Edward's doctor sent me out to speak with you."
"How is he? Did the Narcan finally work? I know it sometimes takes a few tries, but he is aw-"
"Ma'am. We haven't been able to revive him. He has a team working on him right now, but a lot of things are still unknown at this point. I think it's best family is contacted at this point. Do you need me to call them for you?"
I stood there, mouth wide, shocked. In disbelief. How am I supposed to tell the two best parents I know that their son relapsed. That he might be dying. That I couldn't save him.
To meet him, sober him, you would never knew what lay beneath. The thief. The liar. The manipulator. The fury inside. The depression. The self hate. The addict. Through it all, he was still my Edward, the man that I fell in love with back when we were 13. I just wish he could find that person again.
