Edward & Me (An Edward Scissorhands X Reader Love Story)

Peg meets Edward

Peg's P.O.V.

After leaving from Helen, Joyce, & a teenage girl's house, I started to feel like a failure. "This is not my day." I said putting away my things. I turned my mirror to find the mansion on top of the hill no one goes to.

I drove to the top & got out of the car. "Oh my goodness. Oh, it's so beautiful." I looked at all of the intricate, beautiful apiaries on the lawn when I saw someone above. "Hello?" I called out. I decided to take a closer look inside. "Hello, Avon calling?" I said walking inside. I looked around at all the machinery & saw some stairs.

"Oh my." I said still looking at everything around me. I heard blades snipping & heard it came from upstairs. "Hello? Hello? Hel- I'm Peg Boggs. I'm your local Avon representative. Hello?" I tried introducing myself so the person could come out. 

I continued walking upstairs. "I-I'm sorry to barge in like this, but you don't have any reason to be afraid. Ooh! This is some huge house, isn't it? Thank goodness for those aerobics... classes." I stopped rambling looking in the attic of the mansion with a big hole at the top. I looked a bed with several newspaper clippings & pictures full of strange but curious things.

I heard faint snipping from where I was & noticed someone was crouching in a corner in the dark. "Hello? Hello. Why are you hiding back there?" I asked as the snipping continued. "You don't have to hide from me. I'm Peg Boggs. I'm your local Avon representative. And I'm as harmless as Cherry P-" I didn't finish my sentence as the person came out with scissors for hands.

"Oh my." I gasped out. "I can see that I've disturbed you. How stupid of me. I- I'll just be going now." I decided to leave. "Don't go." The young boy came out of the shadows & hands still snipping while looking afraid of me. "Oh my." I said softly feeling sadly for the boy. "What happened to you?" I asked. "I'm not finished." The boy said bringing his hands up.

"Oh! Put those down. Don't come any closer. Just, please--" I couldn't think straight. The boy put his hands down. "Those are your hands?" I asked. "Those are your hands." I said confirming the situation. "What happened to you?" I asked coming closer as he backed away. "Where are your parents?" I asked. "Um, your mother? Your father?" I asked again. "He didn't wake up." The boy replied.

"Are you alone? Do you live up here all by yourself?" I asked. He didn't answer. I felt sad for the boy being alone. "What happened to your face? Hmm." I said noticing all his scars. I tried to feel his face but he moved back, probably afraid I would attack him. "No, I won't hurt you." I said calmly. "But, at the very least, let me give you a good astringent, & this will help to prevent infection." I said nodding.

I grabbed the astringent out of my bag with a cotton ball & applied it to the boy's face. He calmly but stiffly allowed me to continue. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Edward." He replied. "Edward? I think you should just come home with me." I confirmed nodding. I helped him into the car & off into the neighborhood we came back to.

Edward was smiling looking at everything new for the first time, since the mansion was the only home he ever knew. Edward gasped & put his hand up while pointing. I screamed a little. "I'm-I'm sorry." Edward apologized. "No, no, don't be. You go ahead & look. You have every reason to be excited." I said. Edward continued looking. Edward looked out as someone was cutting grass & tried to stick his head out but just ended up hitting his head.

"Oh! You okay? You okay?" I asked. Edward nodded his head & as we continued the drive home, he looked around & smiled.

3rd P.O.V.

All the ladies from the neighborhood all called each other & decided to meet at the corner to talk about the Boggs's new guest.

Peg's P.O.V.

"Here we are." I opened the door for Edward as he admired our home. "So, um, this here is the living room & back here are the bedrooms." I began. I saw Edward looking at the pictures. So, I decided to show him further about our family. "Oh, you want to see the pictures. All right. Well, this is my husband, Bill. He's a bowling champion. Do you know what bowling is?" Edward just looked at me confused. "Bowling?" I asked again. I dropped the conversation about bowling from there.

"Well, here they are down at the lake fishing. I think Kevin looks a little glum because, they didn't catch anything that day. And, um, here are my twin daughters Kim & Y/n, all dressed for the junior prom. They're both seniors now, if you can believe it. They're in the mountains camping with some friends but they'll be back in a few days & you can meet them then. Aren't they beautiful?" I asked Edward. He didn't do anything but smile at Y/n's senior picture.

"That's my family. Now, come along, dear, & I'll show you the rest of the house.  Then you can just freshen up & make yourself at home, okay? That's the kitchen over there. You can help yourself you want to eat or drink." Edward was touching the fake fruit. "Those are grapes. And, um, back here are the bedrooms. Let me get you some towels & I'll see what we can find for you to wear." I said walking to the closet.

"You know what? I think I have some of Bill's old clothes in here. This is perfect. Here. These should just fit you." I said giving the clothes to Edward. The phone began ringing & scared Edward. "No, no. Don't be alarmed. That's just the phone. Now you can go in Kim & Y/n's room & put these on & I'll be right with you." I said moving him towards Kim's & Y/n's room while I left to get the phone.
