I do not own Twilight Stephenie Does
Edward Masen P.O.V
The next morning was brutal. First of all I couldn't sleep. I was tossing and turning all night, Secondly I had a huge headache, and finally I had to remember what my mother did last night, god that was so disgusting. I think I have to drink some Lysol to get that memory out of my head.
So I had to force myself to get out of bed. I slugged towards the bathroom. Everybody in the house who had their own had their own bathroom including me because I kind of live here, this was like a second home to me. I went to the bathroom to wash up brush my teeth. As I was changing my clothes I glanced at the mirror and flinched from the sight of myself.
God. I thought to myself. I look a mess.
I had bags under my eyes, my hair was a mess and I looked kind of pale. After giving up on trying to fix this mop I called my hair. I practicing in the mirror to look compose for the rest that was down stairs eating breakfast. I couldn't look to scared or to happy so I came up with looking dead. I walked down the stairs towards the kitchen and saw everybody eating breakfast. Everyone stopped and looked towards me as I walked in. I ignored them as I got a bowl and some Lucky Charms to eat. I sat down. Emmett who was the one who broke the silence.
"Damn Eddie you look terrible." he said as he slapped my back. And chocked on my cereal.
"Gee thanks so much." I said bitterly as I glared at him.
"Emmett Leave him alone, hes just having a bad day." Esme said saving my life from questions.
I sighed at stared at my food. Ok. I know my father was right about my mother cheating. I can't just tell him. I can't even face my mother after what happen. And Who the Fuck is James. He must be one of my mother customers my mother knew and brought. I shudder to think how many people she did her and my father's bed. Carlisle noticed me and put a hand on my shoulder and shoulder.
"Are you sure you ok." he asked with concern. I just nodded.
" By the way your father called last night, demanding to speak with you, but I refuse to wake you up, he said to call him when you wake up." Carlisle told me.
That was odd he never wanted to talk to me to him I was nothing more than a mistake.
" Do you know what it was about" I asked looking confused.
" He didn't say." Carlisle said to me.
I got up and went to the phone and dialed my house number. Someone picked it up in one ring.
"Edward!" I heard my father's voice.
"Yes its me." I heard him sighed on the other line.
"Good thing I got you before it was too late, I need to tell you something."
" To late for what, and what did you was to tell me." There was silence on the other line. I started to get impatient and started to tap my foot floor.
"Dad?" I said. I heard him take a deep breath and said
" I Love you." Then he hung up.
Just like that. I stared at the phone for a little while before hanging it up.
What was that about. I thought to myself. He never once before really told me that, and he never put any effort into living me. And To keep Esme and Carlisle up all night just to tell me that didn't make sense. I shrugged and went to the kitchen.
"Hey man you ok." this time it was Jasper who said that I just nodded at him.
" You look confuse." Alice said agreeing with Jasper.
" listen I don't care, I don't want to be late for school, are you guys ready or I'm leaving without you." Rosalie said as She looked at everyone but rested her eyes on me the longest.
We got up and said our goodbyes to Carlisle and Esme and piled up into Rosalie's car. I wasn't holding much of a conversation in the car. Every time Emmett would ask me a question all I would say was Ah. Or Hm. I knew that Alice knew something was up with me, but I looked away from her trying to avoid her questions. We all got out of the car and went into the first building to our first class. I knew I couldn't avoid Alice for long because I had my first class with her. As soon as the rest of the family left she cornered me into the hallway.
"what's going on Edward, I know something is up and you're going to tell me." she said as she pointed her finger at me. I stared into her eyes and I knew she was right. One thing about Alice she never gave up until she got something she wanted.
"Ok, OK." I said putting my hands up trying to reassure her
"follow me." I said and I walked up the stairs to the roof of the school.
I use to go to the roof all the time by myself for an escape because everyone needs an escape.
I took a deep breath before turning towards her.
"My mom is cheating on my father." I told her as my voice cracked on the ending. I heard her gasped.
" Since when ." she said covering her mouth.
"For awhile I guess, I saw with some James guy last night." I said averting her eyes.
" That's why you were acting weird this morning, and last night." I nodded unable to speak.
"But wait you know him, you said his name was James." She said looking confused. I shooked my head at her.
"I …Um Heard her say his name last night during… you know.' I said looking down.
"And my dad was acting strange on the phone this morning do you think he knows." I said wondering. She just shrugged.
"That's besides the point." I said.
"The problem is What am I going to do here." I asked her. Alice thought about it for a moment.
"You could talk to her, and let her decide to tell your father because this breaking your family up." She said as she sat down on the ledge of the roof.
I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I guess I could do that, she owns me that much." I said thinking also.
"Listen I'll go with you, just in case you need back up." She said laughing at her own joke. I couldn't help but laugh with her to ease the tension. We ended staying up on the roof the whole talking about crap trying not get on that topic again. I knew the rest thought we were up to something.
By the time we got back to the car Emmett had his arms crossed over his chest looking at us with suspicion.
"where were you guys all day, you didn't even come to lunch." He said as he glared at Alice and me.
"It doesn't matter there here and now I could go home." Rosalie said annoyed. I swear shes always in a bad mood. Alice went to Jasper side as he embraced her.
We drive to my second home and went inside Carlisle had the day off who was with Esme on the couch. I instantly thought of my parents thinking why couldn't they have that. They Greeted us when we came in.
"Listen Jasper I'll catch up with you later I'm going to take a walk with Edward." I heard her say.
"Are you ready to go." She asked me. I nodded as we went out the door.
My house was walking distance. We didn't say much as we walked to my house. What was there to say. Go get them tiger, I really hope your mom doesn't disown you. so it was good that we stayed silent. I was walking with my head down as we turned the corner. I was trying to get what I was going to say to my mother. I when I notice that Alice had froze. I looked up to see what she was staring so wide-eyed at. That's when I saw Police Cars around the house, Ambulances, and cops walking in and out the house, my house.
I didn't hesitate as I ran to the house to see what was going on . One of the police officers grabbed me by the arm. I tried to yank free.
"I live here." I told him frantic. He let me go, and I almost fell on the stairs.
I rushed in the house and frozed when I saw Blood everywhere, and saw a forensic
Team over a body. I went to look over their Shoulder to see who it was. I was walking very slowly step by step hoping to not see who it was, praying that I did not know this person. Step by step breath by breath walk over to the body.
"Father." I whispered as I dropped down to my knees. I started to shake tears oozing out of my eyes. I wanted to looked away but I couldn't.
I touched his head. I wished I didn't because his head rolled over and I saw the bullet woe in his head. I was crying harder as I covered my mouth.
"cover the body" I heard something say. I was well aware that Alice was trying to pull me up onto my feet. But I couldn't move.
"Carlisle" I heard Alice say "We need you at Edward house something terrible happened." And she closed the phone.
I felt someone pick me up and put me on the couch. My eyes stilled stayed on that body.
I started to rock back and forth. I don't know how long I stayed like that. I felt so scared. I wanted someone to put their arms around me and tell me that every thing is going to be ok. I wanted my mom. I felt a little better when I felt arms around me. I thought it was my mother but then I looked up and saw Esme next to me. I guess she'll just have to do in the meantime. I saw Carlisle Talking to one of the officers. They started to walk towards us. He was kind of Tall and maybe in his early 40s and a name tag named Swan.
"Sorry for your lost." He told me. I didn't look up but he continued.
"We got a report today that neighbors heard some guns shoot. There was arguing in the house at first. Neighbors reported that your father kicked out an half naked from the house, before shots happen." He took a Deep breath before continuing.
" your father tried to kill your mother before committing Suicide. He also wrote you this note." He handed a letter. I came back to life when I hear d he "tried".
"Wait my mother is still alive." I asked relived. He frowned at me
"Barely." He sighed.
" She did suffer a bullet woe to the head, and we rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, you should go home and get some rest." He told me as he put one hand on my shoulder. Then he walked away.
I turned to Carlisle
"I want to see my mother" I demanded.
"Edward your-" I cut him off.
"No, I want to see my mother now, I could rest later." He nodded and the four of us walked out of the house together without looking back. Alice Squeezed my hand to tell that she was here
We drove to the hospital in silence. I looked out of the window in the back seat of Carlisle Mercedes. Every so often Esme would glance at me to see if I was ok. Alice was looking at the window too.
We went to see what room was Elizabeth Masen was in, and went to her room. The doctor said that she was a vegetable at this state. And there was no telling when should come out, he said maybe never, but I knew he was wrong. I went inside first.
I walked into her room and took a seat that was next to her bed. I sat down being cautious. I didn't know what say. I just sat there and stared at her. She had a wrap around her head, and I was thankful for that. I just sat there for awhile just looking at her. I got up gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"I'm sorry," was all I said and walked before tears could consume me.
One week Later…….
Today was the funeral reception for my father. I didn't really want go. I didn't forgive for what he done to my mother, who was still in the hospital brain dead. Esme was also destroyed because that was her sister. I couldn't read the note that he left for me. It was tucked away in my pottery book called Bleeding Drops of red which I did look at since. I guess I was to scared to look inside.
I put on the black suit to go to my father funeral. He wasn't being buried here he was being buried in Chicago because that was where he was born. The more miles hes was away from me the better, even if dead. The whole Family was coming. We all piled into one of the Cullens SUVs and droved away. Everyone was quiet Even Emmett for once.
Not That much people came. Some people said a few thing while others payed their respects. I didn't say anything. I didn't have nothing to say. it's not like I talk much nowadays anyway. Some people got together after the funeral at the Cullens. I kind of hung around but then it got to much for me I went to my room, where I knew no one wouldn't bother me. I sat on my bed and I stared at my book of poetry. I opened it up and took at the not that my father wrote to me it said:
Edward,
I'm writing you to know that this is the end of the for me.
I know I haven't been much of a father to you lately, I wasn't much of a good one anyway
. I'm hopping that Carlisle and Esme could do that job for now on.
I am also sorry about your mother and know that this not your fault. I choose this path. And remember that I'll always love you and I' be watching somewhere.
Love always, Your father.
I held the paper to my chest and cried myself to sleep.
