A/N: I heard the song "Beautiful Mess" by Miranda Cosgrove and I just fell in love with it. It also inspired something in me. So here we go.

Summery: Katherine or Kat Parker just ended a messy relationship with a guy named Cole and is not sure whether she's ready to open her heart up again. But what happens when Embry Call comes along and imprints on her?

Beautiful Mess

A Twilight FanFic

Chapter One: "You need to get up, shower, and brush your damn teeth."

In Your Shadow I fade

It's a beautiful mess you made

You've had your fun and games

I love you

To you that means so much less

You're like a tear in my brand new dress

It's a beautiful mess

Miranda Cosgrove

I hate my life and I have a right to. I also have a right to not leave my room for three days straight. It's all because of a guy too. Men suck…just like my life. Downstairs, I can hear the doorbell ring and my mother going to answer it.

"Oh, hello Dana," Mom greets my best friend Dana Larson.

"Hi Mrs. Parker. Is Kat here?"

"Sure. She's upstairs in her room. You can go and see her if you want. Try and get her out of bed. She's been in her room for the past three days just moping. My poor baby…getting her heart broken and all…."

"I'll try my best to cheer her up Mrs. Parker. I have a special technique."

"Thank you Dana."

And then I hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. Dana's probably wearing her lace up combat boots. As the door to my room opens I peek from under my covers and learn that I was right. Dana is wearing her lace up combat boots.

"Kat?"

"What?" I moan.

"What are you doing?" she asks.

What does she mean what am I doing? Isn't it obvious?

"Lying in bed brokenhearted," I moan so more.

"But why? Derrick was a jerk and so doesn't deserve him so stop," she comes and plops down on the bed beside me and pulls back the covers for emphasis on the stop, "wasting you tears on him."

I look into the assuring hazel eyes of my best friend.

"I know…but I still love him," I sobbed."

"I know honey. But how will you ever meet someone who really loves you back if your lying in your bed all day moping?" Dana reasoned logically. "It's time for you to get back in the game honey."

I sit up straight for a moment then slump and sniff. Dana offers me an assuring smile and I manage to give her one back. Then she opens her arms wide and we hug. I pull back.

"Thanks D."

"Welcome K."

Dana hands me a tissue box and I blow my nose.

"Hey, what about my job at Dinah's Diner?" I ask as I crumple the tissue in my hand.

Dana grins. "I told Dinah that you'd be back by tomorrow."

I laugh. "Oh, so you just knew that a few words of encouragement from you would get me out of this bed?"

Dana shook her head. "No but I was hoping."

I smiled at her. How awesome is she?

"Well did I miss anything at school?"

Dana shook her head. "Nope…not really. It's been a slow three days."

I nod.

"And a lonely three days too. It's embarrassing sitting by myself at lunch." She smacks me playfully on the shoulder.

I laugh. "Yeah, sorry 'bout that."

Dana nods. "S'okay. Now come on," Dana says hoping up.

I look up at her. "What?"

"You need to get up, shower, and brush your damn teeth. You look and smell awful."

I raised an eyebrow. Leave it to Dana to say whatever's on her mind.
