Little Lady

Chapter 5

***The man was thinking for a bit and it scarred me half to death. This can't be good.***

*Amanda's POV*

I was dreading the time that passed by as we waited for an answer. I didnt want him to be locked up,I wanted him to be home and safe with me.

"Well Edwar-" The man started.

"Ed,please. I don't like that name" Ed had always told me his name was just 'Ed' not 'Edward'. Well today has shown me lots of new things,might as well find out your best friends real name for the first time.

"Sorry,Ed." Ed nodded in approval, "Well Ed, considering the fact that he was already attacking Amanda,it does count as self defense. (A/N- Sorry,I'm going by American terms,not British) The jury will have to decide if you are guilty o any charges or not. If you are convicted you will be sentenced to over 30 years in prison." Oh no. "If not, you may be let off free or with community service hours." He finished finally.

Ed was staring at the table in front of us intensely, thinking probably. "Okay,thank you." He said not making eye contact and getting up and waiting for me to follow him. He held his hand outand I took it right away. I thanked the doctor and we were out of there,getting lost in the maze of hallways. Ed had texted his mom to pick us up and she said she would be there in 20 minutes.

"Amanda" Ed was going to try to cheer me up,instead I burst out in tears and he held me in his arms comfortingly. I don't know what or where I would be without Ed by my side all this time. Not just today,but for my whole life.

I finally dried up my tears and Ed started to talk again, "Amanda, we have to think about the good, not what might happen."

"I know,I know. But it's hard to know that the guy that saved your life may be going to prison Ed. I may have to kill myself if you are found guilty!"

Ed was thinking for a while then spoke, " Then I would kill myself too. Mands," He took my chin in his gentle fingers, "I love you too much to be away from you and let you do that to yourself."

Now I was crying again,but I just let the tears stream down my face. Did Ed really love me that much? Between life and death,he would still want to be with me?That's the most humble thing I have ever heard, which is one more reason I have to be in love with Ed.

He wrapped me in a hug and it felt so good. His warmth have me hope. And not to mention his fluffier figure always made me feel better about myself.

We stayed like that for about 10 minutes when his mom had gotten there. We both got into the backseat an he held my hand warmly. I looked up into his eyes then he gave me a squeeze.

"Mum,could Amanda stay with us for a while? She's having some... complications with her family." Wow,he actually used big words.

"Sure thing Ed. And Amanda," she looked at me through the rear view mirror, "Just know that if you need anything,just ask me alright?"

"Thank you so much Mrs.Sheeran, this means a lot,really." I said making sure to remember to tell her why I'm staying with her later. "Do you think that you could stop back at my house so I can pick up some things?"

"Oh yes sweetie, make sure you grab anything you might need." She said while turning into my neighborhood.

She parked the car in my driveway and there were still investigators scattered all over by the door. There were now news trucks all down my driveway and news reporters with cameramen spread across the front lawn. There was an ambulance and several police cars spread now through the street. Great,more attention.

I got out and passed the yellow tape and headed for the door when a man in a police uniform stopped me.

"Sorry miss,only authorities are allowed in here." he said signaling for me to go back under the tape.

"I'm the victim sir,I think I can go in." I said slightly annoyed.

"Name." He said lifting up his cap to show his bald head. I've decided to call him baldy.

"I'm Amanda Perron, I am the victim in this crime, and the niece of Dan who was murdered by my friend Ed after he attacked me." Suck it Baldy.

"I am so sorry for your loss Amanda,and you may go through now." He gestured for me to go.

"Don't be." I said with obvious hatered in my voice.

I walked up to the propped open front door and walked through to see my uncles cold, lifeless body laying on the floor with a chalk outline covered by a thin white sheet. The knife was removed but the blood had seeped through the white sheet.

I walked towards the stairs and caught of his face. It looked of pity and disparity but his cold eyes were half closed so I couldn't quite put my finger on all the emotions in them.

I went upstairs and into my room. I packed most of my clothes I had, my phone charger,makeup, and toiletries. I went over to the bathroom to double check I had everything, and I looked in the mirror and was disgusted at what I had turned into in the past years.

After the first year of being a prostitute Dan thought I could make more tips if I lost weight,so he would only feed me pills and every now and then a laxative filled weight watchers granola bar. I had lost about half of my body weight and became weak and powerless to Dan. I had made more tips but it wasn't worth it. People at school thought I had an eating disorder,which I had actually grown one over the years.I never told Ed the truth about it but always wanted to.

These thoughts and my image in the mirror made me get the urge to loose more weight to look prettier. That was always Dans policy.

I ran to the toilet and got on my knees and lifted the toilet seat up. I slid two of my fingers down my throat and let the scarce contents of my stomach spill into the bowl.

After everything was out I began to sob,hard. I couldn't stop until I heard a knock at my room door,and footsteps following towards the bathroom. I heard a second knock at the bathroom door.

A familiar body stood in the door frame and I looked away. "Amanda? Amanda tell me whats wrong."
