Second Chance (Edward Scissorhands x Reader)

Chapter Thirteen

I hugged Edward back, I really missed him after all. I was scared I wouldn't be able to see him because of Kimberly and Charlie. Though luckily, I'm here. Edward let go of me, and I smiled up at him.

"You'll never guess who I ran into," I say with a small frown on my face.

"I wouldn't, I don't know anyone who lives in town anymore," Edward frowns.

A small frown lands on my face as well, "Yeah, sorry about that. Though it was Kimberly and Charlie! They stopped me and asked me to stay with them, it took me a bit but I was able to leave and get everything. Though I'm sure if I pull the same thing again they'll suspect something, if they aren't already suspecting something now."

Edward's frown only gets larger, "Is that bad?"

I nod slowly, looking down at the floor. It was dangerous, if anybody ended up finding out Edward was still alive, people could die. They could try to break in and hurt him, I wouldn't let them do that but I wouldn't be able to fight several people!

"I'm sure it'll be okay in the end Edward, we're safe here, and I've got supplies for a pretty long time!" I try to cheer Edward back up, though it seemed to have had no success.

Edward keeps quiet for a bit before asking, "Are you lying?"

I didn't know if I was, it was weird and contradictory, so I didn't answer. I just wanted everything to be okay and I didn't know if they were going to be.

Edward brings me to a hug again, a tighter one, one that seemed more sincere. It was enjoyable, but it also felt like hell at the same time. We stay in that hug for quite a bit, it felt like hours but it was just minutes. Though eventually, we both backed away from each other, and we just looked down, to many things going through our heads.

"I'm sure it'll be okay, it has to be okay," I whisper to myself.

We both stand there, not sure what to do, how to react, what to say, and what to feel. I start to regret telling him about Kimberly and Charlie, but I had to tell the truth right? I couldn't lie to him.

"Y/N, will you still stay if they try to hunt me down?" Edward asks, he was now looking at me with his beautiful brown eyes.

"Of course I will," I look back at him, a sad smile painted on my face.
