    The first time I saw Edward Cullen, I was 13 years old. It was Easter Sunday and instead of waking up to a basket full of sugary treats; I spent my morning helping my drunk father sober up by making two pots of strong, black coffee. Taking care of Charlie was nothing out of the ordinary; my mother had died during childbirth so I learned early on how to cook, clean and even pay the occasional bill.

(If I never saw Swan Lake again, my life would not be materially altered for the worse, but I'd be absolutely disconsolate
