Hi! I'm so sorry for the late update! Yet again. I know I suck at updating. Honestly I don't know where I'm going with this story but I want this story to happen so bad. I would give it to someone, I'm just afraid of what they'll do to it. Also I have this great Twilight/Harry Potter crossover that I'm dying to do but I feel like I have to get halfway through this story to even begin planning that story.
Oh just a heads up that Bella wont really be in this story. She'll be Alice's best friend but that's it really. I don't like Bella but I'm not going to go out of my way to bash her. I'm not going to include her that much. She'll pop up now and again, which is understandable since she is Alice's best friend and Edward is going to be living with the Cullens.
I also want to add that Edward is not going to warm up to the other Cullens quickly. There will be times where he gets angry, jealous, and frustrated. There will also be times where he is childish and petty. I just believe in a situation like this anyone would act that way.

Edward can do nothing but stare at his biological father. He couldn't help but notice he looked nothing like this man. The only thing they had in common was their eyes. Carlisle had on fancy clothes from head to toe. His hair was blonde and short. He had a genuine friendly, kind smile on his pale face. Edward couldn't help but think he wanted to slap that smile right off his face. He couldn't help the wave of anger that swept over him. He couldn't help the small wave of hurt that snuck up on him. This man left him with just his last name and without looking back. And Edward can't help but feel so unwanted. Especially at a time like this when his mom was gone.
Edward swallows back the wave of anger and hurt. He was going to treat this man with respect. He was going to be polite and kind. That's how his mother raised him and he act in a way that she would be disappointed in. Even if he wanted to.
He starightens up and says in a cool, polite voice, "Hello Mr. Cullen."
He sees Carlisle's smile dim at the formal tone Edward addressed him with. Edward didn't care. He couldn't care. So Edward just turns to Mrs. Ray, the foster mother, and thanked her for allowing him to stay at her house. She smiles brightly at him and darws him into a crushing hug. She then took his face in her hands and said how sorry she was for his lost. He needs and gives her hs most charming smile. After she let go of his face he walked over to his suitcases.
"Here let me help you with those," Carlisle said, reaching out his hand to grab a suitcase.
Edward blokes his hand and grunts, "I got it, thanks." He picks up both of the suitcases. The little red haired girl opens the front door for him and yells, "Bye Eddie! Have fun with your daddy!" Edward winces but smiles and tells her goodbye before walking out the door.
Edward walks behind Carlisle so Carlisle can show him to his car. When they reached Carlisle's rented Mazda 3, he pops the trunk and gestures Edward to put his suitcases in. Edward looks back at the foster house. He can't go back. Even if he could he didn't want to. He knows what happens when your in the foster system. You just keep bouncing from one home to another. His best friend, Riley, was in the foster system for years before his older brother was finally able to get custody of him. When Riley was sleeping over at his house he would have nightmares. He never talked about them.
Edward puts his suitcases in the trunk and closes it. Carlisle stands next to him, rubbing his hands together in a nervous gesture. He keeps opening and closing his mouth. Finally Carlisle speaks.
"Let's get on the road then," Carlisle mumbled. He walks around the car to get to he drivers side. Edward hestitantly walks to the passenger side. He puts his hand on the handle. He closes his eyes to brace himself for the horribly awkward car ride to his old home. He sighs and gets in the car.
(*********)
The ride to Edward's house was painfully awkward. Edward rested his head on the window and watched Carlisle out of the corner on his eye. Carlisle was always opening and closing his mouth, trying to figure out a safe topic to talk about. Edward guessed he couldn't find a safe topic. He didn't think there was a safe topic they could talk about. Except the weather. The weather is the safest topic to go with. But Edward didn't feel like talking. He had to prepare himself to face his home again. He had to prepare himself to clean out his home. He had to prepare himself to let go of the wonderful memories him, his mom, and his step-dad had made in this house. He had to prepare himself for Carlisle to taint those memories with his prescence.
Edward peeks at Carlisle out of the corner of his left eye. Carlisle keeps opening and closing his mouth, probably still trying to figure out to connect with Edward. So Edward turned on the radio to keep Carlisle from talking to him. He didn't care that some religion program was on. He would listen to that just so carlisle wouldn't keep trying to speak to him.
Fifteen minutes later and Carlisle is pulling into the driveway of Edward's home. Edward closes his eyes and tries to breath calmly through his nose. Edward tries to hold back the panick attack that wants to consume him. He spends a few minutes trying to breath normally.
He only moves when Carlisle speaks to him. "Edward are you okay?" Carlisle asks gently. Edward opens his eyes only to see Carlisle hestitantly reaching for him.
"I'm fine," Edward grunts, unbuckles his seatbelt, and gets out the car. He looks at his home and takes a step forward, preparing to enter.
(*********)
Edward swept through the first floor, picking out the things he wanted to keep. They were mostly pictures, his mom's favorite apron, and his step-dads kitchen mittens. Then he went upstairs. He was relieved when Carlisle didnt follow him and instead went to his car to get boxes.
Edward doesn't go to his room. He doesn't even look at his closed bedroom door. He makes a beeline straight for his mother's room. He rest his hand on the door opens it. Edward is immediately hit with the smell of his mother. It makes his eyes water but he doesn't cry. He wipes his eyes quickly and takes a step forward.
He walks towards the closet, caressing the bed as he passes it. The closet door is open. He grabs his mothers favorite dress and presses it to his nose. For the first time since his mother died, Edward lets himself cry.

A/N: I'm sorry to leave it at that! This chapter was supposed to be longer. Edward was suppose to meet the other Cullens and then the chapter was going to end. But I got extremely lazy. Plus I got caught up in Once Upon A Time on Netflix. You know that cool show on ABC. And Supernatural season 8 is finally on Netflix. And I'm currently addicted to Sims. These are the main three things I do when I have free time which is like almost never. Enjoy. Until next time!
