Edward hurriedly walks into the diner, looking around for Y/N and his family. he notices them almost immediately. 

he walks to them mid-conversation

"Velcro, sweetheart, velcro hangs on the dashboard," Bill explains.

"I've never seen that" Peg nods. Y/N looks away when they see Edward.

"Sorry I'm late" he murmurs. everyone moves a little so he can sit. he sits right next to Y/N.

"Hi, dear-" Peg hands Edward the menu "sorry dear we ordered without you"

"so Edward did you have a productive day?" Bill asks while eating his food.

"Mrs Monroe showed me where the salons going to be" 

"You could have a cosmetics counter," he says to Peg 

"oh wouldn't that be great!" she sighed. "wouldn't that be great?" Bill nods "Yes honey, great!"

"Then she showed me the backroom where she took all her clothes off," he says without any shame, Y/N and Kevin snort their drink out of their noses, and Peg looks like she's about to say something but doesn't.

"Edward, I can't tell you how thrilled I am. I'm just as pleased as punch"  Bill ignores the comment about Joyces getting naked for him. "This whole beauty parlour venture is gonna teach you volumes- there's nothing like running your own business." everyone decides to ignore it too.

"So I guess the banks are your next step huh?" Edward seems confused.

"the bank?"

"Yeah. take out a loan, get yourself started" Edward seemed nervous.
"Though it's nothing to worry about, with your talent, and reputation it gonna be a snap"

-----

"But that's breaking and entering" I complain to Jim.

"Look, my parents have insurance behind them, okay? What's it gonna cost them? A bit of trouble? That's about it!" he persists.

"Give it a week and he'll have a new and better everything."

"We can't!" I say nervously.

"Okay, look... there's a guy who's gonna give us money for that stuff."

"Jim, I don't want to!" he seems a bit annoyed that I'm not understanding.

"You don't want us to have our own van like Denny? where we can be together whenever we like? with a mattress in the back???" he seemed to regret it when he said that. "I mean-"

"What do you mean by that dude?" I look at him slightly strange. "A mattress?"

"I meant nothing. so we can bring chicks or whatever."

"Okay then, why do you need me to do it? cant you do it alone?"

"No, because my dad keeps the room locked and we need Edward to get us in!"

"Can't you take the key when he's sleeping or something?" He looks at me as if im stupid

"You don't get it, the only thing he hangs onto tighter is his dick." I look away.

"Come on Y/N. Razor blade will do anything for you!" I scoff at him.

"What do you mean- that's not true-" I say trying to forget about how he loves me.

"not true? go ask him"

"that's not fair!" I frown.

"What's fair got to do with it! there isn't any other way!"

"There's gotta be!"

"Look, I racked my brain. don't you want us to have our own van??"

"Well... of course I do."

-----

"Jim... the lights are on..!" I say while trying to hide the fear in my voice.

"No no. those go on automatically. They're gone for the weekend, I told you!"

"you turned off the alarm right?" I say while

"Yes, everything, come on. Let's go. Come on." Jim snaps

"I can't believe this is happening." I start to panic

"Are you sure he doesn't know this is Jim's house?" One of Jim's friends asks

"He's never been here," I say biting my lip anxiously. we walk ahead for a moment, I jolt when I hear Edward talk loudly.

"This person stole from you?" I clench my fist and pray nobody heard.

"Keep your voice down. I told you he stole it. Right? Come on. Let's go." Jim pulls him forward faster.

"His parents will make him give it back." Edward tries to compromise.

"Listen, I've already tried that. The guy's parents are like he is. Okay? Now, you told Kim you'd do this" we all wait at the door, we look back and see Edward is snipping at the unkempt bush

"Well, come on. Let's go. Come on. Come on. Come on." Jim grabs him harshly and shoves him to the front. Edward picks the lock and the door opens, we all silently celebrate and walk through. Jim turns a picture flat so Edward doesn't know it's his house. Edward starts picking the lock to the safe room but when he steps into the room the alarm works and the door shuts.

"The bastard had it wired separately. Come on." Jim grabs My arm and pulls me with him

"No, Jim. We can't just leave him here." I whisper. I may dislike him but im not that evil.

"No way Y/N. im not letting us get busted for this. he drags me outside and I struggle in his grip. on my wrist. he picks me up fireman style and throws me in the back of Dennys Van, we start driving and I hear police sirens.

"Denny, turn around!" I lean forward and on the back of the seat

"No way!" Deny shakes his head.

"Jim, it's your house. They can't arrest you for setting off your alarm. We'll just tell them we were breaking in."I shake his shoulders.

"No, because my father will prosecute."

"His own son?" I scoff.

"Especially own his son. If Edward tells, I'll kill him."

"God, I feel so bad." I sit back and bite my nail, looking at nothing.

"It's not your fault Y/N. but we aren't going back." I'm about to argue but he glares at me so I don't. He places his hand just above my knee in a comforting way and I think nothing of it. 

I'm such a shitty person... he trusted me and I betrayed him. its not like he's ever done anything bad to me...other than taking my room and being a little clingy but I guess its to be expected since he's lived in his castle his whole life...
