Edward
I waited anxiously at the terminal, it had been a couple of days since I had last had some and I was craving it now, more than I ever have. My mother stood next to me, fidgety and nervous. My mother had not said one word to me since last night, it was like she couldn't pluck up the courage to speak to me anymore, like she hated me. I could see where she was coming from, but she's my mother, she is supposed to support me, I mean… nobody's perfect right? She let out a shocked gasp, and I saw tears begin to fill up in her eyes. I turned my head and saw my older brother standing, a huge smile spread across his lips, flashing his pearly whites at my mother and me. I could feel moisture in my eyes, and I immediately fought them back, Dylan would be giving me hell if I let him see me cry. Mom ran straight into Dylan's chest, he scooped her up in his arms and swung her around, muffled mumbles and cries of joy escaped the both of them as they happily reunited. I stood frozen in shock, I couldn't believe that my older brother was here, back with us, I had never in my wildest dreams thought he would have been here again. I had learnt to accept that he would never be coming home, that every single letter he had sent would possibly be the last one I received from him. Dylan rushed over to me and wrapped his arms around me, not embarrassed about how the two of us would have looked. After what seemed like minutes, Dylan let go of me and smiled at me,
"Wow little bro… look at you!" he beamed, ruffling my hair, I nudged him playfully and he chuckled. Mom appeared at our side, holding Dylan's hand,
"My babies" she whispered happily.
Mom offered to drive us home, Dylan and I sat in the back seat of my car, catching up on every single thing that we had missed, I told him about my Bella, and he seemed curious to meet her, little did he know he would be tonight.
"Boys!" Mom scolded,
"What's up mom?" Dylan asked hesitantly,
"Please! Save all this chit chat for the dinner table!" she giggled to herself, "honestly, you'd think the two of you were in a mother's meeting!"
"And this is Mom's new found sense of humour" I joked, to which they both laughed playfully at.
Once we arrived home Dylan and I went upstairs to my bedroom, whilst Mom prepared the dinner that we had planned.
"Oh man" Dylan sighed contently as he slammed down onto my bed,
"Ew, get off my bed, you reek!" I played,
"Sorry dude" he chuckled, "I think I'm gonna take a shower" he said, getting up off of the bed and getting out of his uniform, he pulled his shirt off and I saw thick purple, red and yellow bruises, stamped across his arms and chest.
The voices became louder and louder, and Dylan tried to cover them up as he pulled me closer into his chest. I felt some tears escape my eyes as we heard a glass shatter and mom yelling even louder at dad. I sniffled a little, even though we had heard all of this before, it had never seemed as bad as this. It usually ended the same way, Dad would go out for a couple of days and then return home to mom with flowers and lots of kisses. But this time it wouldn't stop,
"It's okay Eddy" Dylan mumbled, squeezing me tighter,
Dylan usually protected me when this happened, we hid inside his closet, and waited until it was over, but we had been here for such a long time now,
"Dylan it's not going to stop" I sobbed into him,
"It will Ed, it will, soon the door will slam and then we can come out"
"What if we get hurt?" I asked in terror,
"I wont let that happen Ed, not to you, not to mom, I promise" he said kissing my head,
"Ew, gross" I mumbled, to which he giggled at. After a while the shouting stopped, but dad hadn't left, the door hadn't slammed,
"What's going on Dyl?" I whispered, Dylan lifted his finger over my mouth and I kept quiet. Suddenly, there was a loud thud, and we heard mom begin to scream and dad shouting in anger,
"Stay here Ed" Dylan commanded, letting go of me and standing up,
"No!" I yelled, grabbing onto his leg, "Why do you have to go out there? Stay here!"
"Edward! I have to go out there, and I'm going because I am thirteen and you are ten, I'm the oldest so I am going" he explained angrily,
"Okay" I gave in, letting go of his leg. Dylan quietly walked over to the door and opened it, peeking around the corner, he stepped out and walked off towards the screaming, I leapt up and ran out of the closet to the open door,
"What are you doing here? Get back to your bedroom!" I heard dad yell at Dylan,
"No!" he yelled right back,
"You stupid little bastard!"
I peeked around the corner and saw Dad holding Dylan by his collar, Mom was lying on the floor screaming, and I saw Dad punch Dylan square in the face,
"No!" I yelled at my father,
"Go away, Edward" He said, and then bent down to where Dylan was lying, grabbing his face in pain, he began punching and kicking him really hard.
"Dad please!" I yelled crying,
"E-Edward!" Dylan yelled weakly,
"Dylan!" I cried, Dylan was covered in dark red blood, there was blood coming from his face, I rushed over to where my older brother was lying, next to my mom, I can't let them die! Dad ran up to me and picked me up, he put me down in my bedroom and I felt something hard hit my face, I fell to the floor and felt more hard stones hitting my stomach and face, I began to go dizzy as I heard Dylan calling my name, and everything around me eventually faded to black.
"Edward?" Dylan's voice lifted me out of my daydream,
"Huh?" I said averting my eyes from his bruised body,
"Look, Ed, they are just battle bruises, trust me, I've had worse" he explained,
"Okay" I sighed, a little taken back by these bruises as they reminded me so much of how things used to be.
I felt nervous as this was the first time that Bella would be at my house, I had dressed up a little for the occasion, but not as much as my mother had, she had dressed as if she was being invited to meet the Queen of England. Dylan and I laid the table and our mother was making the dinner in the kitchen.
"Ed?" Dylan asked,
"Yeah"
"Why have you set the table for four people?" Dylan asked, examining my face,
I was about to explain, but I was interrupted by the doorbell, perfect timing Bella.
I went over to the front door and opened it, and there stood my angel, she looked beautiful, she wore a black cocktail dress, and her hair was bouncing around in curls,
"You look amazing" I complimented her,
"You don't brush up too badly yourself" she giggled, I pulled her into my arms and embraced her for a brief moment,
"So, it is your new girlfriend" Dylan laughed from behind me,
I pulled away from Bella and shot him an 'I-am-so-gonna-get-you-for-that' look.
"Bella this is Dylan, Dylan, Bella" I said gesturing my hands to the pair of them, and the two nodded at each other,
"Whose there Dylan?" My mother shouted from the kitchen, as I shut the door behind my angel,
"It's Eddy's lover girl Belly" Dylan joked, obviously showing off in front of Bella,
Bella giggled, and nudged Dylan playfully. Mom came bounding into the hall and pulled Bella into a tight hug,
"Bella! How lovely to meet you" she smiled, putting both arms on her shoulders once she had let go of Bella, who seemed a little gob-smacked. Wow, my mother was being polite, that's a first seeing how she treated her the other day,
"Come with me Bella, you can help me with the dinner" she smiled, dragging Bella into the kitchen before she could object,
"She's a real looker, Ed, I wonder what she's doing with you" Dylan sighed,
"Shut up" I said, punching him in the side of his arm, he slapped me around the back of my head,
"OW!" I objected,
"I'll have no fighting tonight boys!" My mother yelled from inside the kitchen,
"Just you wait" I playfully threatened Dylan,
"Come on guys dinners almost ready" I heard my beautiful angel's voice calling from the kitchen.
I took at seat at the table, opposite Dylan, and I shot him and evil glare,
"You're dead," he mouthed glaring back. Bella walked into the kitchen with our plates of dinner and set her own down and mine, she took a seat next to me, and mom sat opposite.
"Tuck in everybody" my mother smiled politely,
"So Bella, why are you attracted to someone like Ed?" Dylan asked her, obviously trying to get in my face,
"Are you kidding?" she smiled at me, "Edward's the most wonderful person I've ever met", I glanced at Dylan and he rolled his eyes, I looked at my mother and a small fake smile crept upon her face,
"So Bella" my mother started this time, "Did you have anything to do with it?" Mom spat, What the hell was she talking about?
"What?" Bella smiled, thinking it was another joke,
"The heroin that Edward has stashed in his closet, Did you have anything to do with it?"
Oh shit.
"What?" Bella gasped, "No not at all!" She shot me an unforgiving glance whilst Dylan just stared at me incomplete shock, and mom seemed somewhat pleased with herself,
"Bella please" I tried to persuade her as I saw her getting angrier and angrier, She stood up from her chair and hurried out of the door,
"Go after her!" Dylan yelled at me, I followed Bella out of the door and out into the street,
"Bella!" I yelled, following her towards the park, she carried on walking, and I ran after her,
"Bella!" I yelled even louder this time, she turned to me exasperated,
"How could you Edward?!" she sobbed, and I saw tears falling down her face,
"Bella, you don't understand, I just have to escape sometimes" I explained,
"Is your life really that awful? Jeez Edward"
"No! it's not you, it's my mother, you don't understand what she's like, she does it all the time, please Bella, it makes me feel better about myself"
"Why would you want to do that Edward? It could…" She couldn't seem to finish her sentence,
"I know Bella, Jeez, tonight was supposed to be special"
"Well it's not. Not anymore"
"I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend" I blurted out, like the words had forced themselves out of my mouth,
"What? Really?"
"Yeah" I admitted, embarrassed,
"Edward I …I can't be with you if you are doing those things" She sobbed harder now,
"I know" I walked over to her and pulled her into my chest, "Which is why I'm going to stop"
"You are?" she asked hopefully,
"Yes"
"Oh Edward, I love you" she whispered kissing my neck,
"I love you too"
This really is a crappy chapter, Review anyway :)
