~Chapter 15~

Edward POV-August 14th-

I woke up early Saturday; I was slightly shaky about going to the mall. I knew it being a Saturday that there would be numerous people there. Rationally I knew that I couldn't stay inside this house the rest of my life and that I would have to "step out of my comfort zone" so to speak. Going to the mall was one way in doing that; Esme had already promised that I wouldn't be left alone. I started the shower and discarded my pajamas into the hamper. I kept my eyes locked on the floor as I stepped under the warm running water, I didn't want to see all the scars that littered my body. Thankfully I had no bruising left, however there were three scars on my face that I was unable to hide. The first was one just above my eyebrow; I think it may have come from a broken beer bottle. The other two were side by side on my left cheek; no matter how hard I tried I couldn't remember how I received them. However those three scars were nothing compared to the ones on my chest and back, nor were they even as disgusting as the burn marks I carried on my ankles and wrists. Dad had done everything he could to stop the scars on my body, I think he tried too hard because he knew he couldn't stop the scars I would mentally have to deal with now.

After my shower I got dressed, double checking to make sure that I covered up all my scars and the burn marks. I exited the bathroom slowly; Dad had told me last week I would be fine without the crutches I had been walking around the house without them since then. My nerves spiked a little as I thought about leaving the house without them. Finally I reached the kitchen and found Esme making breakfast; Alice was in there with her complaining about wanting to leave. Em took this moment to walk into the kitchen.

"Alice it's 7:00 the mall won't open till 9:00, it shouldn't take us longer than an hour to get there." Emmett said as he took a seat a second before Esme placed a place before me and then him. Since Forks didn't have many places to shop it was our plan to drive the hour or so drive to Port Angelas.
"Eat up kids." She said with a smile. We hadn't even been there for ten minutes before Alice started hounding us.
"Edward, come on hurry up." Alice said sounding annoyed. "Emmett, stop playing with it and just eat it!" She yelled at Emmett as he stated to make shapes out of his pancakes. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me as I saw him trying to make what looked like mickey ears.

One hour later on the dot we were all inside Esme's BMW and on our way to the mall. I shouldn't have been surprised with how much it was raining as I looked out of the window. Alice had called shot gun leaving me and Emmett to the back seats. Our drive was relatively quiet; Emmett chose to have his Zune player blasting in his ears the entire time. Esme and Alice were talking about what shops they needed to go into. For the entire ride I spoke only when asked a direct question, instead of conversing I was content to be looking out the window as we passed trees and forest. I was breaking slowly in and out as I attempted to calm my nerves about getting to the mall. But as we got closer and closer to our destination the more I felt like I couldn't do this. I couldn't help but think about all the people that will be there, all pushing and bumping into each other as they go from one store to the other.

We pulled into the malls parking lot about ten minutes after it opened, in Alice time this means we got there ten minutes to late. I was thankful to notice that the lot was still basically empty, though I knew it wouldn't stay that way. After Esme parked Alice practically ran from the car and towards the mall. Esme and Emmett stood on each side of me, since I had voiced my concern earlier about falling. We followed Alice into the mall; she was waiting just inside the doors, her hands on her hips, one foot taping the floor beneath it.

"Come on!" she said turning on her heal and walking into JC Penny's. I took a deep breath before the three of us followed her.

It was going to be a long day.
