The Beginning Adelines P.O.V.

Authors note : Please please pay attention to the locket and letter part very important if u dont you will be lost in the story! Thank u!

I wake up to shine shining bright in the room and my phone blaring I look at it and it's Ben. I dont even look at the date I always feel this way every time her birthday comes around. I hit ignore probably 5 times before he stops calling. Let me break down how I meet Ben. I was offered the chance to move to California for a couple months as part of a scholarship chance for my nursing school. Of course I jumped at the chance, but knew I'd need an income cause that they gave me to live off of barley paid rent since campus was filed. So once I was settled I started working as a waitress at like a Ma and Pop type diner and that's how I met Ben after a few weeks we started talking more and came close like brother n sister. After about a month he brought his friend Danny in with him real late for food at the diner and of course I had to be the one cooking n talking orders that late at night. Ben had this devious smirk as if he was up to something after he "introduced" i say it like that cause he literally told Danny my name and told me Danny's n hurried up and left. Danny drove me crazy the whole night to the point I threw a knife at him. What I thought would make him mad or worried and think I was straight out pycho made him smirk why I have no clue to this day. I graduated and ended up in North Carolina as a nurse I mainly worked the children's section more on that in a minute. One time about 2 years after i started working there the guys came in cause Danny was overdosing I was on call for that part of the night cause I hardly ever left the hospital cause of Evelyn. I rushed up and managed to help keep him stable. Oh how I wanted to kill them all right than n there but they swore to me they were trying to stop. Danny hung around near where I lived for about a month I'd talk to him every now n than but I had my own issues to deal with after a few more years they called n begged me to go tour with them to make sure they stayed in line n I jumped at the chance cause after Evelyn died I needed something to keep me alive i needed to feel.
Evelyn was 3 years old when I met her she had cancer that attacked her bones and everything it could. If anyone deserved to be in that much pain it was her biological parents especially her mother! More on that later. Eventually the cancer took her and I had her cremated I had spread most of her ashes where she wanted and kept some in the locket I bought her along with a picture inside it.
I pull out the box I kept full of things from my patients I watched over while I was there. Many hand drawn pictures some thank you notes from kids and parents and stuffed animals I was given as gifts. What can I say little kids love me. I smile as I flip through the stuff some kids had past away but not many most came with horrible flues/colds and broken bones from play accidents some times car crashes only a small handful from abuse. I make my way to the last box in the storage container full of stuff from Evelyn I smile at some of the pictures she drew for me and pictures of us and cry as I find the picture of her and me that says my happiest day my new mommy n best mommy ever! I had braided her hair that day and got her a new spiny dress n socks and shoes. I laugh remembering how she begged me to make her look like she was straight outta the 50s. I hold her little stuffed catipiller I bought her to my chest as i let tears fall i get to the box that held some jewelry I got her along with the box made for her locket I move the top n the letter she wrote to me a few hours before she past that is still sealed I never got the strength to open. I flip it over and see her little drawings on it with scented markers that i can still smell my hands shake as I reach the top where you'd open it but I cant bring myself to i just break down crying. I manage to pull my self together and put everything away and take it to the attic. I'm not sure I'll ever move pass this but I need to at least stop blaming myself. I look over at my phone 6 missed calls from Ben 3 from James and a bunch of messages from the rest of the guys except Danny. As I was about to reply to the messages I hear a loud pounding on my door that made me jump. I stand up and the pounding turns to a soft knock and I know before I even open the door it's Danny.

"I'm coming chill out!" I scream towards the door. I'm not in the mood for this right now I dont care who it is I want to be left alone!

"What do you want make this quick I'm not in the mood for company." I say as I open the door. Danny doesnt say a word just walks in as quick as possible which pisses me off. Okay I'm just in very bad mood today when I get sad I need time to get back to okay if not I get pissed n Danny doesnt help that process very much.

"Please come in, make yourself at home. No I insist Danny please come in!" I say more to myself than to him.

"Relax Addy I'm just making sure you are okay." Danny says sweetly.

"Welp I'm living breathing not killing you....yet....So I'm good you may leave now thank you very much."

I watch him take his cowboy boots off and throw him self on my couch and put his feet on my coffee table. He looks over at me and smirks. That's it I'm gonna kill him right here right now..
Maybe stab him to death...no I like my new knives....shot him?...no to quick....how to kill him....almost as if he reads my mind he starts laughing.

"You could try to kiss me instead of killing me you know." He winks at me with his smirk on his lips. As much as I cant stand him right now i must admite he is a welcoming distraction at this time and eye candy. He is wearing faded jeans and a shortsleeved shirt with his hoodie thrown off to the side of my couch. I always loved his tattoos on his arms maybe cause I'm a sucker for art work I don't know. His beautiful blue eyes scruffy beard n little bit messed up ginger hair just ties his whole look together.

"How long am I stuck with you here Danny?" I say sounding annoyed.

He gets up and walks over to my fridge taking a beer. After he opens it he looks at me and puts a finger under my chin so I look at him.

"You've been crying. You know you can talk to me about anything." He says with concern in his voice.

"I'm fine my eyes are just a bit annoyed with me from the smoke from outside is all." I lie through my teeth and if one thing I have learned with Danny is I have a 50/50 chance of him believing me or at least I did at one point.
