NIARA'S POV

I enjoyed been around Edward, he was fun to be around.

I finally decided to go back into my home.

"I wasn't expecting you to have somewhere so small"
Edward stated.

"Small is more comforting"
I replied.

I switched the TV on.

I saw Ben's stupid face on the TV.

"He deserved what he got"
I glared.

"His nothing but a slimy corrupt police officer who cares about nothing but money, in fact all these corrupt people should be killed"
I ranted.

Edward looked as if he was trying not to laugh or start grinning.

I'm pretty sure he was trying to not slip up.

I wasn't going to let him know about my suspicions just yet.

It made me even angrier as the commissioner Pete started saying how sad it was to loose Ben.

"Oh boo hoo, Ben's death is the best thing that's ever happened to me"
I scoffed. 

"I've never met a rich girl like you"
Edward stated.

"What do you mean?"
I asked.

"You have a brain and aren't stuck in a privileged cycle who's blind to people's suffering around this city"
Edward stated.

"You wasn't rich was you? I can tell you hate rich people"
I replied.

"What's the opposite of rich and parentless?"
Edward questioned.

"Oh you was an Orphan?"
I wondered.

"I was"
Edward deadpanned.

I noticed Edward staring at my neck.

It was bruised from Ben attempting to strangle me.

I felt Edward touch the bruises and trace his hand along them.

"The pigs gone now"
Edward stated.

It wasn't long after that until Edward left to do whatever it was he was going to do although he changed his mind and said that he would come back in an hour or two after 'checking on something'.

I watched TV and flicked through the channels.

I stopped at the news and rolled my eyes at the election.

The mayor was a piece of shit, I saw him at the Iceberg Lounge.

Bella Real was better than him I suppose but she could be hiding all sorts of secrets and who knows if she will actually make 'real change' or whatever she says.

"Ugh you all suck"
I groaned.

I turned on a movie.

The movie was around an hour and a half and I was disappointed actually.

"Still boreddddd"
I sang.

Nobody else was around or could hear but I didn't really care.

I watched as the news played once again.

I paused as I saw there was another murder.

I heard a knock at my door.

I opened it to see Edward.

"I was so bored"
I stated.
