The door to Kim's room suddenly opened.
Edward watched, grievously, as Kim was carefully carried away.
Kim was stiff as whitewashed wood, her eyes were staring off into space, her skin was icy smooth, and she was wrinkled like a dead rose. The thing in the bed wasn't his beloved Kim anymore. It was like a glove with no hand in it; limp, dead, and white.
Timothy's face grew less tense. He saw the body of Kim's and somehow it softened something inside him.
"You say he's that robot or something from your Mom's stories?" Timothy asked Katherin, in a hushed tone.
Timothy's lips tightened and he frowned, cautiously, as he looked the "man" up and down. He looked as if he was judging a horse in a derby.
He glared disapprovingly at his face, for it was ugly in scars; he scowled at his hair, it was too messy; he winced at his hands, a flicker of hate beaming in his sky blue eyes.

Lucy's shouts and pleads were silenced as the door opened. When she saw her grandmother's body, she quickly looked away frightened. Death was something new to her and she did not like it at all.
She began to tremble and reached her hand behind her....careful to keep her eyes off of the lifeless body. "Edward, come with me......please," she said as her voice quivered.

katherine looked at her husband "he was a creation, is is a man, only not really finished....he does have feelings, and when you call him a monster it hurts..." her voice softened and she let go a solitary tear, her mother had lived life to the fullest, she wouldnt want them to be sad, but it still hurt

Two weeks had flown by, and Kim's memorial service had been packed with people. Her coffin was a cherry oak with white lilies and pink roses gathered in a bouquet on the top. The people could have cried an ocean as Kim was lowered into the soft, sagging ground.
Edward watched, hardly getting the energy to lift his head. He blamed himself for Kim's death. Hadn't he, literally, scared her to death? He felt like he deserved to die right along with her.
He didn't socialize, and though the crowds did wonder who and what the specimen was, they mostly left him alone. He looked so interesting, with fancy clothes over the leather and buckled suit. The people who did talk to him were never answered, Edward never spoke back.
Without Edward in the mansion, the snow stopped. The snow had started to melt into a slushy, sloppy mush, and Suburbia was the bright, hot place it had been so many years ago. Flowers had started to grow again, trees were growing greener, grass was showing under the white snow, and the sun beat unmercifully down on the town.
TV weather reporters were stunned, stumped, stupified.
After being unmasked from the white veil of ice and snow, Suburbia looked like a pastel paradise. Houses were lined up one by one, square windows with butter-colored curtains, emerald green lawns, and grey driveways.
The Boggs' home was a robin's egg blue with a wood brown roof. There was a green lawn with patches of muddy snow dotted here and there. The dove-white walls, grayish-white carpeting, and colorful furniture were still there. Kim's home had hardly changed.
Tears of mourning still reined in the Boggs' residence, but a difficult and demanding issue had sprang up. It was in hard debate, truly.
What was to be done about him?

Lucy wandered in the backyard, looking at all the new life that was appearing. The grass, the leaves on trees, the rose buds on the bushes.... She faced the sun with a smile. It was nice and warm. She removed her heavy jacket and laid it on the sloshy snow.
"Come outside, Edward! The weather is warm!" she hollared from outside toward the sliding glass door that was partially opened.

Edward heard Lucy call. The boy was such a sad thing to behold; his eyes were closed most of the time, as if he wanted to shut out the world and fall asleep forever. He was like a ruined house that had once been the prettiest, fanciest mansion human eyes had ever been blessed to see. But now, he hardly uttered a word anymore.
He clinked and clanked his way over to the little girl. His head was still bent downwards, and his hair still covering his face.

Timothy peered out the kitchen window, into the backyard. "I don't think it's safe," he whispered to Katherine, with his head shaking, "We're harboring a criminal..."

As Edward appeared through the sliding glass window, Lucy ran up to it with a bright smile. "It's so pretty outside, Edward! I think spring is coming back!" She skipped around the yard happily before picking up a slushy handful of snow.
Giggling to herself, she molded it ito a ball and threw it at Edward. The mushy snowball hit him in the leg and splattered. "CAN'T GET ME!" she shouted with a smile and dodged behind a leafless bush.

katherine scowled "he is not a criminal, in fact i think he is even more innocent than our daughter!" she looked at edward, seemingly sad she wondered if he even wanted to stay here...but then she glanced at Lucy, her beloved daughter never seemed more happy....

Timothy's eyes blinked in frustration and he scratched the back of his head irritably, "Please, Katherine, this is serious!" His voice grew louder, "Don't tell me you're even thinking about keeping him! He seems sweet, I know, he's very sweet, but—" Timothy's voice hushed down to a raspy whisper, "He is, after all, a murderer, Katherine. Remember what Kim said on how her highschool boyfriend, Jim, died?"
________________
Edward flinched when the wet splat hit is skinny, black-leathered leg.
He could hear the little flower's laughters echoe in his head, but he couldn't bring himself to even smile. He felt like he had fallen into a bottom less pit, and had lost everything on his way down, even happiness.
"Edward, the only thing that keeps a human living, is his heart..."
The inventors, old fragile hands clutched his chest. And the old timeless blue eyes met Edward's fresh pale face.
"The heart keeps beating, whenever things keep it smiling. Cookies, hugs, kisses, children, laughter, and love...but sometimes my dear Edward, a heart can stop by the very thing that keeps it smiling..."
The old inventer, placed a hand on his black cane, and he gave a solemn nod and frowned his wrinkled brows, "Love, Edward...love.".

"Can't get me!" Lucy repeated as she waited for Edward to chase after her with a snowball. But....she noticed he did not even smile or look at her.
Slowly rising from behind the prickly bush, her brown eyes stared at his. She walked slowly toward him with her brown locks blowing in the still chilly wind, "Edward?"
She then decided that she would try to make him smile again. Grabbing another handfull of snow, she threw this one at his arm. Giggling, she dashed away again.

(step up i am guessing)
katherine looked at her husband "we all do things out of rage we regret, i know murder is out of controll but this man had suffered so long, and the only person who ever loved him...who really understood was getting hurt, and he didnt know....innocence can sometimes be one's enemy..." she looked at edward "he did not seek jim, he did not murder him....he only protected mother...his only love..."
she looked away from the window determined to ask edward of his wishes....to stay? to leave for the house?
