Denvers’s P.O.V

Why?!

It's cold but warm outside. It’s not so cold it’s warm kinda day, it's the cold in the shade and warm in the sun till a cloud covers it kinda day.  Anyway my name Is Denver and my best friend's name is Edward. Edwards parents died when he was five years old and ever since then he’s been living across the hallway of my bed room. My dad works two jobs and my mom in no longer with us. So It's just me my dad and Edward and my mom’s looking down upon us. We live on a crappy part of town where us hoods like to hang and live. I hate living on this side of town everyone is into fighting and gangs where I hate being a hood, because it’s a classification here and not only that it's a lifestyle. Just because we live on the poor side of town doesn't mean you're a hood. But not everyone would agree with me when I say that. So I try to keep up my bad boy rep and try not to get to hurt. But Edward on the other hand he loves being a hood. He likes fights and he is definitely in the Thug life, lifestyle but I don't see what the big deal is. Being a hood is hard because people are more warey of you and will watch you like a hawk, and that makes it hard to go in shops and actually buy something without someone kicking you out of the store because they think you are going to shoplift them. Not all Hoods do that. Hell I don’t even do that, Edward does he steals anything that isn’t tied down. He says it apart of the Pearson Bloodline which isn’t surprising because his parents died in a gang fight.

About Edward Pearson

Other than Edward comes from a long line of hard core Hoodlums on his mom’s side but his dad was a different story, he wasn’t a hard core hoodlum his dad was a small town poor boy who moved to Tulsa Oklahoma when he was sixteen years old, his first job was at Mcdonald's, his dad Jason met his mom at school one day.

Edward reads his Mom's journal all the time it talks a lot about Hoods and Gangs and his dad it says “that he was the good looking type and the first day of school he had a whole bunch of girls on him and His eyes landed on her” I think that she had a major crush on him. After they got together later in the year, they had dated for a few months, she described all of her dates in complete detail and when she turned seventeen she found out she was Pregnant with Edward, she was happy and scared at the same time, she told Jason later on he was scared but he wasn’t they type to just leave, and He loved her to much to leave, they got married at eighteen and bought a small two bedroom and one bathroom house in the hood territory.

Five years past and she got pregnant again but she had to fight in a gang fight and she died by a gunshot in the stomach which made her bleed out.  His father died by a gunshot right next to her in the head. She died holding his hand. After that Edward moved in with me and my father where he considered a second home and soon to be first, he was raised by my father.
