A/N: Are you ready to hear a little glimpse into Edward's story?

Love to Dawn and Carmen for pre-reading and Sally for her red pen magic. I tinker, so all mistakes are mine.

ENJOY!

"I spent summers up here with my aunt and uncle. It gave me a break from shit at home, ya know?" In a weird way, I did, so I nodded and kept on rubbing his arms. We had been standing, cuddled together, for a while. It was heaven and hell, as I wanted to see his face but not wanting to disrupt his need to share bits of his story.

"They wanted to do more, but their hands were tied. My uncle Carlisle was my mom's older brother and played the overprotective sibling to the max. I think he was the only person my dad was ever scared of."

Dread filled the pit of my stomach; there were too many implications in his words. They were ominous and heavy and filled with pain. The urge to kiss Edward stupid, just so he could feel something other than hurt, overwhelmed me.

"Some of my best memories of them is being here, spending the weekend camping, hiking, and cliff jumping."

"Cliff jumping? Seriously?" I gave into my urge to look at him. When I did, there was the devilish smirk I was used to seeing.

"Oh, yes. From this place and few others on this trail." He winked and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You're pulling my leg. You jumped from this spot?"

He gave a casual shrug that infuriated me. "Yep." Then without warning, he uncurled us and pulled me closer to the edge.

"Edward!" I shrieked. "No!"

"Trust me, babe."

Shock over him calling me babe rendered me stupid, and he ended up pulling me down an unseen, barely worn path. In less than a thousand feet, we were standing on a little outcrop with the river churning below us.

"I'm NOT jumping, Edward." I took a few cautious steps back. I was never a huge fan of heights.

Edward rolled his eyes at me. "I didn't bring you here to jump. That will be another time. I just thought a pretty girl like you would appreciate a pretty view."

My mind didn't know what to concentrate on. The fact that Edward would bring me back, the idea he thought I was going to ever jump off a cliff, or how it felt when he called me babe.

A/N: I have done the cliff jumping from where they were... when I was younger and dumber! So we have a teeny look into Edward's life and it doesn't sound pretty.

Let me know your thoughts! Until then, see ya Wednesday!
