Be Mine Instead of His

Family and Friends

* Edd P.O.V. *

I let go of mother "So how long are you going to be staying?" I asked her.

She smiled her sweet smiled "For while dear, so tell me did you make any new friends? Is the school treating you well?" she asked, there was excitement in her eyes.

I giggled "I made quite a few, their all very kind and they all care for another." I told her

She brushed some of my hair away from my  face. "well I am very excited to meet them one day." she said.

"Me too, me too. I know you'll love them." I said 

she smiled then clapped her hands together, "Well, I am to going to the restroom and when I get back let talk some more about everything that has  happening up till now." she said. Charles held out his hand for her to hold but she shook her head. "Charles, I can do this myself." She said, he nod and step aside "Oh, but please can you make us some tea?" 

"Of course." he said.

"Thank you Charles." Mother said, he nod then left the room. Then mother started to make her way out as well. 

"Mom." she looked back to me. "I'm really glad your here, for while." I told her. 

She smiled "As am I dear, as am I." she said and left.

I took a deep breath and let it out then sat down on the sofa, I'm really glad, she home. I thought, So many things that I want to tell her. I rested my head in my hands, there so many things. So many. But where to start?  then Kevin face come to mind I quickly stood up. No, now not the time. I made my way tot the kitchen 

"Young master, Is there something that you need?" Charles asked. 

"No. I just wanted to know, if I could help you in anyway" I said.

He smiled "I would like that" he said, then the door bell rang "I'll get that, please excuse me Eddward." he said and left the kitchen. I pick out some tea cups and put them on the table and turned off the tea pot and put on a oven mitt on the hand I was going to use. I picked up the pot and slowly carried it to the table. "Eddward." Charles voice surprised me that I almost drop the pot but I grab it with my other hand. But I  forgot I didn't have a oven mitt on that hand so it burn

"Ow!" I cried and drop the pot. "Oh no."

"Eddward!" Charles shouted.

"I'm fine." I said looking down at my hand. Then Charles hand grab my wrist and pulled my toward the sink and ran cold water over it "Charles I said I was....."I stopped talking after seeing who it was "......Kevin." I said 

"Oh my." 

I looked over to the hallway. "Mother." I said 

"Mother?" Kevin questioned.

* Plank P.O.V. *

"Come back to us, to me." he said and held out  his hand.

"No, I.....won't" I told him.

He withdrew his hand and looked up and sighed then he looked back to me "Pray." he said 

"PLANK!!" 

I turned around and saw Jim being swallowed by darkness. "Jim!" I started running to him. "Jim!"

"Plank!" he shouted and reached out his hand for me to reach.

"Jim!" I grabbed and pulled toward me and out of it. I hug him "I got you. I got you." I told him.

"Plank." Jim said
