Alice POV
Quietly opening the front door we tiptoed into the house past daddy who was sleeping on the couch. He was always sleeping and usually had really bad head aches when he woke up. For some reason it made mommy really mad when daddy came home and feel asleep on the couch. I asked her why one day and she answered that it was because he had been drinking. Confused I had gone up to room why would mommy be mad at daddy for drinking, everyone drinks stuff.
Climbing the stairs we tried to sneak past mommy's room but she heard us. "Where exactly have you been all day?" she questioned. Edward and Emmet just looked at their feet, without saying anything.
"We were at the park mommy!" I exclaimed jumping into her lap where she sat on the edge of the bed. "Look mommy I brought you a flower, isn't it pretty?"
"That's a weed Alice not a flower," she replied. Tears stung my eyes as I looked up at her.
"No mommy it's a flower, I picked it just for you," my lip trembled as I answered her. Shaking her head she plopped me down on the floor.
"Well I don't want it you can keep it." Slouching towards the door she pointed with her finger for me to leave. Devastated I scampered out of the room and burst into tears. Emmet looped his arm around my shoulder.
"Don't worry Alice, you can just give it to Jasper tomorrow when we go back to the park ok?" Shakily nodding I tried to fight back tears. Rummpling my hair he grinned, "That's my girl, come on lets go get some water to put it in to it will live." With that he pried the flower loose from my grip and we went downstairs.
Edward POV
What kind of heartless woman tells her four yr. old she doesn't want a flower they brought her. Alice had carefully held that flower the whole way home just so she could hand it to her mommy to make her smile. I shook my head as I stood leaning against the wall. Watching Ali and Em go downstairs Emmet's arm around Alice made me smile. They were pretty tough on each other but when someone else messed with their brother or sister they stuck together like glue. They way our parents acted toward us forced us to mature and look out for each other. Following them down the stairs into the kitchen I watch as Emmet filled up a cup with water and stuck Alice's 'flower' in it.
"Do you guys want to have dinner?" I asked breaking the silence that filled the room. They both agreed that dinner would be good and we started to look through the fridge.
Emmet POV
There were a lot of bottles with brown stuff in them. Shoving past them we found a little bit of bologna and three pieces of bread. We made sandwiches and found some chips to eat with them. I was still hungry when we were finished but I didn't say anything because I knew there wasn't anymore food to eat. Quietly marching up the stairs we got ready for bed without a word. I crawled into my sleeping bag in the room I shared with my brother and sister. There were plenty of rooms in our house but mom and dad said we all had to share one room. They never said why, they just yelled us to obey them if we asked.
I lay on the floor thinking of Rosalie, she was really pretty and nice. She thought I was cool! She told me so while we were swinging on the swings. She's the only girl I know who can swing higher then me! I was so happy that we were going to the park again tomorrow maybe I would get to see her again.
Edward POV
I was lying on the ground next to Emmet who was sound asleep when I hear it start. Dad would wake up and stumble upstairs from the couch. Mumbling as he went along when he got to the bed room he started to yell. Scream at mom to come out to talk to him. They would yell and howl at each other, my dad might hit my mom and then it was quiet, my dad would stumble back out and leave and my mother would start to cry. Not that I felt sorry for her she never did anything for us, there wasn't even enough food in the house for us to have dinner. I counted my grievances against her and dad and drifted off to sleep frowning to myself.
Alice POV
I woke up and it was still night, I looked over at the clock and said 2:30 A.M. I'm pretty smart for my age I already know how to tell time. I heard someone crying, looking around I noticed that Edward and Emmet were already asleep. Standing up I shuffled into the hallway and down to mommy's room. She was lying on her bed crying. Carefully I went over to her and started to rub her back, she flinched up and glared at me. "What do you want?"
"Mommy I just came to see if you were ok," I whimpered backing away.
"YOU WERE A MISTAKE, EDWARD AND EMMET TOO!" Backing away as she came towards me she cackled, "I wish you had never been born then everything would be fine!" She slapped my face and kicked me out the door, I ran crying down to the bed room and burrowed down into my sleeping bag trying muffle my sobs so I wouldn't wake my brothers. Rocking back and forth I cried myself to sleep.
