As I lay in bed, I just couldn't sleep. I thought to myself, 'A walk might help.' I get up and get dressed. And grab my headphones along with my phone. I lived alone and didn't have much family and barely any friends.

This is me, Eden Paige

This is me, Eden Paige.

I walked out the door and turned on my music. As I listened, I walked and felt at peace. 'I don't even know where I'm headed.' I think to myself. As I headed to the hill with the tree on it, things suddenly went black and i fell to the ground.

"Woah! You got her bro?" Said a male's voice. "Yeah. I got her." Said another male voice. "Is she ok?" Asked the first boy. "Idk, but we'll take her back to our place and make sure she is." Said the second boy. With that the second boy picked Eden up and carried her to their car. He put her in the backseat and the two boys got in the front. Once back at their house, the second boy picked Eden up and brought her into the house. He brought her upstairs to a spare bedroom that wasn't being used.

For about a week the boys went to work and watched over Eden at the same time. On the last day of the second week, her eyes fluttered opened and she wondered where she was.

(Eden's POV)
I woke up to a strange place. I hear the door to the room open and there stood two boys. They both were light brown haired. One was taller than the other and looked a bit tougher than the other, like he was the oldest. The other was a little shorter, but not by much and he was buff, but not as buff as the other boy. He looked to be younger. " Who are you?" I ask, looking terrified. The taller one said, "I'm Kade and this is my brother, Ace." Ace waved from beside Kade.

"What happened? Where am I?" I ask them. "You passed out by the tree on the hill. Kade caught you and we brought you here to make sure you were ok. You've been out for two weeks." Said Ace. "Two weeks?" I say. They both nod and Kade says, "Um... we told you our name, but what's your name?" "Oh.. I'm sorry. I'm Eden. Eden Paige." I say to them and carefully stand up. "Do you remember why you passed out, Eden?" Ace asked. "Actually, no. I don't. I just remember that I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk and as I was walking up the hill, I passed out." I say to them.  "Are you willing to stay here till we can make sure you are ok?" Kade asked me. I hesitated to say yes, but after a few minutes of thinking, I said, "I dont see why not. But um... how about we actually eat and possibly get to know each other if I am going to stay here?" I suggest to them and they look at each other and lead me to the kitchen. For a two story house it was huge inside. They decided that we could have potatoes and chicken. As they cooked, we all asked each other questions about one another. "How old are you two?" I ask. "I'm 22 while my brother here is 24." Ace said then Kade said, "And you, how old are you?" "I'm 18, going to be 19 in just 3 days." I say. They look at each other and I grow suspicious. "What?" I say and they laugh. "Nothing to worry about, Eden." Kade said and smirked at me. "Where are you from?" Ace asked. "Here actually. It's been my hometown since I was little. Though I kinda wish I would be able to move out of here..." I say. "Why's that, if you don't mind me asking?" Kade asked, flipping the chicken. "Well, I barely have friends and most of my family either doesn't want anything to do with me or they're dead." I say, saddened at my own use of words. "Oh... I'm so sorry, sweetie." Ace says, looking worried now. "Its ok." I say and Kade looks at his brother and then at me then back at Ace. I could tell they were both worried. When dinner was done we all ate and Kade called Ace out to the other room. I ate the rest of dinner and as I was placing my plate in the sink and starting the water for dishes, both boys came back. "Eden?" Ace asked me. "What's up, Ace?"I asked him. He grabbed me by the waist and turned me to look at both of them and said, "We have decided that we would like you to live with us. We want you to have people that you can rely on and talk to when things get rough." "That's if you are willing and wanting to. We won't force anything on you." Kade said. I stood there, looking shocked and I didnt know what to say. Ace turned off the water from behind me, though I didnt move. "I-I don't know what to say... Can I have some time alone to think as I do these dishes then I'll come talk to you?" I ask them, stumbling over my words. They nod and leave the room and I start the dishes. I think to myself:

'No one has ever wanted me to stay with them like they have. No one EVER has asked me what they just asked me. They barely know me and they want to be here for me and live with me? I mean I understand why, but what do I say? Will they be upset if I don't? What if I fall for them? I saw the look in their eyes while they were making dinner. Have they already fallen for me? What have I gotten myself into? Should I take this chance? Oh god!!!'

All of sudden I see red in the water....
