Chapter 2- My life

Edward's POV

I shook my head at the rude words written on the front door with disgust.

This had happened constantly since we started living in the Sunny Estate. There wasn't much sunny to do with it, although it was in the name.

It was mostly full of junkies and teenage mums, who couldn't afford anywhere decent to stay.

A teenage, single mum? A non-supporting, ignorant dad? No such luck. Unfortunately for me, I got two junkies for parents.

Sighing, I brought myself back to reality and shoved the door open with my shoulder. Why would anybody in this estate bother locking their doors? There would be nothing valuable inside to steal.

So, this was my life.

Cleaning doors with swear words on, hiding from my own parents- afraid to face them at the end of the day.

If only I could stay hiding.

If only I could curl up and stay in an empty, dark corner of a small room. It would be better than anything my guardians could offer me.

Notice that I called them my guardians. They didn't deserve to be called parents.

I was just a slave to them- an accident during a one night stand. Victoria and James didn't care, they just couldn't be bothered to try and get rid of me.

"OW!" I screeched, dropping the cloth that I had gotten to clean the door, and moving my hand to rub the back of my head. Some idiot had thrown an empty beer can at me, making my head bleed.

"At least this one won't leave a scar." I sighed, after finally finishing cleaning the door and getting rid of the blood from the back of my head.

Seeing as nobody was home, I assumed that my mum, Victoria, was at her daily pub job.

Victoria had dyed, fiery red hair. It curled into cute little ringlets, as some of her friends would say. Also notice that, friends is in italics- you would call them flings more than friends.

She was also small and slight for her age, although she would rip your head of you said that to her. She wore four-inch heels and was still barely the average height her age should be.

James was probably staying over at a friends or, more likely, selling and buying drugs.

The only times that they were home, that I knew of, was for an hour or so in the evening to check that the house was presentable and when they were throwing parties for all of their friends. Also, sometimes when James was taking home another girl to...you know.

Sighing once again, I walked into the kitchen and cleaned it up, carefully tipping the powered cocaine into a small bag, then left it on the kitchen counter, before stumbling upstairs.

I walked into my cupboard of a room and sat gingerly on the edge of my chair.

I didn't have a bed.

Too much money and not enough space- James had snapped at me when I complained that it was uncomfortable sleeping on the floor. But on the bright side, at least I got a chair.

After leaving my school-bag neatly besides my chair, I cleaned the whole house thoroughly and grabbed the banana that Bella had given me earlier on.

Moans drifted through the front door, signifying that James was home with another woman.

Victoria and James both knew that they cheated on each other, and they did nothing to stop it. They told people that they were in a relationship, but what kind of a relationship was that?

It was a messed up one, that's for sure.

"Edmund?" James called.

He didn't even choose my name, Victoria and him just told the hospital to give me a random genetic name. Neither of them even bothered to remember it.

I stayed silent, hoping he wouldn't look for me like he had before. I didn't even want to remember the memory- it was too painful.

"OI- CHILD! I CAN SEE YOUR SHADOW, COME OUT NOW AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, YOU WIMP!" James shouted and the girl he was with giggled quietly. They were both so obviously high on drugs and the idea of me being in pain.

Standing up from behind the sofa, I closed my eyes and winced, waiting for the impact of pain.

A wine bottle.

A small coffee table leg.

A blunt knife.

Bella was the only one who knew about the cuts and bruises.

I escaped the worst of the damage most of the time, running out of the back door and over the dirty fence when he wasn't looking.

But that was only most of the time.

He had hit one of my biggest scars just then. The one which ran diagonally along from the right side of my waist to my left rib-cage.

It hurt even when somebody softly touched it.

"Edward!" Evie beamed at me, wrapping me in a tight hug.

Unknowingly, I had walked to Bella's house and was now at her front door in the arms of her Nanny Evie.

Being in Evie's arms made my bad mood slightly better, even if she was squeezing me a little too hard.

"Can't...breathe..." I gasped, chuckling when Evie put me down, looking embarrassed.

"Sorry sweetie- I just missed you!" She smiled at me again and ruffled my messy hair.

"EDDDDDIEEEEEE!" Bella screeched, running down the wide stairs in baby pink bathrobe and her hair wet around her shoulders.

"What are you all dressed up for?" I raised my eyebrows sarcastically, and laughed when she blushed.

"Shut up." She mumbled, walking over to Evie and taking her hand.

"Renée promised to have dinner with Bella tonight, so she showered and is about to go and get dressed up, all pretty." Evie explained, making Bella smile again.

"Yea! And I have a really pretty, blue dress which makes me look really pretty!" Bella stumbled over her words because she was trying to get them out so fast.

"I'm sure it does make you look very, very pretty." I agreed, frowning slightly when I saw my ruffled clothes.

"Nanny Evie bought you a new outfit for tonight too!" Bella exclaimed, letting go of Evie's hand and grabbing mine, "It's very pretty as well AND we match!"

Letting Bella drag me upstairs, I smiled at her excitement.

I felt guilty all the same though. Bella was forever spending her allowance on me and Evie spent a lot of money on me as well, even though she didn't have much. You would think that nannies hired by rich families, for example, Bella's family, would have quite a lot of money, but not Evie. She spent most of her money on plane trips to see her husband.

Which reminded me, I had wanted to find out what had happened with George and Evie...

"EDDWAARDDD!" Bella frowned, tugging on my hand harder than before.

"You go ahead and get dressed Baby Bell," I cooed, kissing her forehead quickly before joining Evie.

Evie knew that I wanted to know.

"Okies- but don't be long please my Eddie." The adorable pout on Belly's face and the fact that she called me her Eddie just made it impossible to say no.

I wanted to kill him.

Not exaggerating at all- I literally wanted to make him die a slow, painful death.

With each quiet word that came out of her mouth, I grew angrier and angrier.

I knew that Evie hadn't told Bella all the details she was telling me. Evie only told me more because she knew I could handle it and I wouldn't get as upset as Bella would.

"That is just horrible, Evie..." I whispered, horror evident in my voice.

"Enough about me," She shook her head quickly, making her long, blonde hair fan out around her, "You poor little thing, what happened to you this time?"

Always caring about people besides herself.

Evie was like an older version of Bella, which was partly the reason I liked her so much. The only real differences were the facts that they looked completely different and Bella would never, ever get married as young as Evie did.

"James." I explained it all in one word, but Evie understood it perfectly.

"Let's get you cleaned up then, before dinner with Renée starts." I smiled at her words. Not because Evie was going to clean up and care for me like she did every time, but because Renée almost never just sat down and ate dinner with Belly.

Evie put an ice-pack just above my right eyebrow, making me hiss.

"Hurry up, Eddie! You need to get changed!" By this time, Bella was jumping up and down with excitement for dinner. She was more excited for dinner than a fat kid loved cakes!

"Okay, okay!" I laughed, taking the clothes from her and walking into the bathroom. I put on the black suit and aqua blue tie. Okay, I knew this was a big deal but seriously, a tie?

"Come sit down, Eddie!" Bella ushered me into her dining room the second after I got changed.

Slowly sitting down next to her, I sniffed the air. Nanny Evie was making mine and Belly's favourite- spaghetti bolognese.

"Here it is!" Evie announced, walking into the room with two glass plates of food before she set them down in front of us.

"Where's mummy?" Bella asked her impatiently, just as Renée walked into the room.

"Sorry Isabella. I can't stay for dinner tonight, Dwyer&Swan is in trouble and I need to go and sort it out." And then she walked out of the room as quickly as she had walked in.

Bella's face fell.

All Renée and Charlie ever did was sort things out for Dwyer&Swan, their fashion label.

For the rest of the night, Evie and I tried to cheer up Bella until she fell asleep.

My Bella looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. If only I could be so peaceful, and escape reality for just a few hours...

Btw, I AM English, so I will say English words instead of American words sometimes like mum instead of mom. Although sometimes I do use mom and some other American words.

Aaaww- poor Eddiebean with his screwed up life...DO NOT WORRY MY CHILDREN...all will be fine eventually in the future of near...

In other words, don't be scared dudes, Edward will be JUUSSTTTT fine :)
