Esme had just called Alli and I in. I'm guessing Ms. Stoogal left then. I wonder what they were talking about.
"Oh, hey kids did you have fun outside?" She asked.
"Yep we played hide & go seek." Alice said while I just nodded my head.
"Thats good kids." Esme said, then hesitated for a second and continued what she was saying.
"Umm Edward we need to go next door and get some of your stuff like clothes, CD's, and maybe some pictures ok?" She asked.
"Umm ok, but can Alli go with us?" I asked hopefully.
"Ofcourse she can Edward." Esme said.
"YAY!" Alice screamed jumping up and down.
"Alice honey can you please calm down?" Esme asked Alice kindly.
"Sorry mommy." Alice said while giving her a sweet smile and a hug.
"It's ok honey, now lets all go to Edward's house and get some of his stuff packed and ready to go." Esme said. We walked to my house and when we got there, the door was closed but thankfully it wasn't locked. When we walked in it didn't even look like someone was murdered or committed suicide. The glass, blood, and my parents bodies were gone. We were on our way to the stairs when I saw the spot were I found my mom dead.
(Flashback)
"Mom, mom." Edward said, with tears running down his face.
"Mommy wake up." Edward said again.
(End of Flashback)
I just stood there, tears conspicuosly running down my face, as I remember what happened a couple days ago. I could vaguely see Esme walking and kneeling beside me with her arms open.
"Come here Edward." She said. I whimpered and turned to Esme and cried on her shoulder.
"Edward don't cry." Esme said while patting my back. "Come on Edward lets go up stairs and get your stuff." Esme suggested after I stoppped crying. I just nodded my head. Alice walked next to me and held my hand as we made our way upstairs. Once we got to my bedroom door we stopped, and the grip I had on Alice's hand tightend.
"Are you ok?" Alice asked looking at me worriedly. I took a deep breath and nodded my head 'yes'. It's time I stopped crying over what happened and be stronger, braver, and more mature. Not weak, scared, and a baby. Alice, Esme, and I walked into my room and got me my clothes, some pictures, CDs, toothbrush, toothpaste, and some other stuff. After that I went into my parents room and got the picture of my mom and dad on their wedding day, along with some other stuff my mom wanted me to have.
"Edward did you get everything you needed?" Esme asked me when she saw me shut my parents door.
"Um yeah, I think." I replied back nervously.
"Ok then lets head back, I'm sure you and Alice are hungry and probably want something to eat." She said.
"Yeah come on Edward lets go get some food." Alice said jumping up and down. How she had so much energy I will never know.
"Ok I'm coming Alli." I said with a small smile.
When we got back inside Esme went into the kitchen to make us something to eat. So Alli and I went into the living room and colored in our coloring books. After a while Esme called us for dinner, which was chicken stir-fry. After we were done eating, Alli and I went to watch T.V. when Esme walked in.
"Edward I have some bad news." She said.
"Ok, what is it?" I asked. Esme took a deep breath before speaking.
"When you and Alice went outside, Ms. Stoogal said that your parents didn't leave anyone to look after you in their will and you don't have any living relatives. Then she said that you have to live in a Childrens Home. I asked her if there was anything I could do, but she said that it was part of the law." Esme said with a sad face. I sat there for a minute processing what she just said. After about 5 minutes I finally spoke.
"When do I leave?" I asked.
"In two days." Esme said sadly as tears welled up in hers eyes.
"Esme can we go to the park tomarrow?" I asked.
"Sure Edward." She said.
