NO SHAME

Only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and calling it fashion
Got no shame

-5 Seconds of Summer-

ST. MARCUS ACADEMY

"Mr. Cullen" greeted principal Cygné. The busy man was texting with his assistant in order to have all the upcoming meetings under control. This school reunion made impossible other gatherings already planned but Charlie said it was an urgent matter regarding his beautiful daughter Isabella "Welcome, please come with me to my office" the men shook hands and entered the office. Once they were seated the meeting begun.

Carlisle, being the fashion and business man he is, was using one of the most pristine suits Charlie had ever seen. All elegant just like Bella. That's why it was so scandalous what she had done. She has never behaved like this.

"I'm going to ask you to understand me Mr. Cullen… this was more than a mischief situation. It was embarrassing, in front of all the parents and teachers" the principal tried to explained without angering the man. Carlisle, even though he said he comprehends what his daughter did, he clearly did not get that was in order a disciplinary punishment from him and not the school. He said so too "Well, in my opinion, I think it's you who should call your daughter's attention in the matter" Carlisle kept going that it was an into-school situation. He was stubborn just like his child "Look, Carlisle, I sincerely think your daughter need some limitations" This took Carlisle by surprise "Excuse me, did I say something wrong?"

"N-No… on the contrary, it is true I'm too weak with her, but she does not have a mom and I spend too much time traveling…"

Carlisle was showing weakness in front of none of his oldest friends. He has always thought that giving Bella what she wants was in place, since he couldn't spend all the time he wanted with her. After all in school she was great. This stunt was a shock to him. Isabella Cullen knew better than that.

"But you do it for her. Sooner rather than later she's going to realize this, Mr. Cullen" The business man nodded, he wanted to believe in Mr. Cygné's words. Bella needs to understand that and that everything has its limit.

In the other side of the campus was Bella in her dormitory. After Lauren had left she went to her room and tried to get the nasty drink out of her beautiful hair. She now hated that blonde classless girl.

When the sticky liquid was completely out of her hair she dried it off whit the hairdryer and styled it again. She was back in order and in her bed. See how difficult is being her? She kept caressing her long brown non-split ends when the door opened. He thought it was going to be one on the girls that maybe forgot something, but she found her father entering instead.

"Daddy!" she cried out and got up to hug him. She gave him a strong embrace and he returned it with the same force "What are you doing here. I thought I saw Jacob…" she knew what this was about as soon as she said the words. The hug was over and when she looked up at her dad she saw him frowning.

"Forget the Paris Fashion show we had planned to go next month. You are grounded for what you did three days ago" Carlisle saw her open-mouthed in shock at his words.

She was happy to see him just as much as he was to see her. But when he opened her door and saw her in her bed he couldn't find it in him to tell her how happy he was to see her. He was disappointed.

"Dad… b-but I… I never get to see you; be-belive me it's a surprise to see y-you here and you c-came to tell me this? You're not with me never, not even in t-the weekends" she was getting red and all teary eyed "Why don't you- you put a ribbon in my head and give me away, huh?"

She couldn't believe her dad.

"I'm doing this for your own good baby girl, you have to learn to respect the rules" It was difficult to see his only daughter like this. And it was far worse to hear her heartbroken words. He was ashamed to admit it but he knew he rarely saw Bella in person or video-call. All the birthday and events he couldn't be here with her he had sent Jacob or one of the maids. But Isabella needs this. She needs to know that her actions have consequences "I'm sorry, but is a lection you have to be taught, even though it hurts me too Bella. What you did was something else" He went to stand away from her, looking at her walls. He saw the pictures she had hanging there. All with her loyal friends, a few with Jacob and himself… her most recent one was from last year. He felt his heart hurt. "You put the academy in ridicule, you put me in ridicule—" he was interrupted by her.

"Yeah, I know… it is very important" he heard the tears in her voice; he knew she was upset "but I was waiting for you, dad. I prepared a speech and a dance for you! I was waiting for you to come and see me and you never came! But you care more for the "ridicule" right? You care more for the reputation more than your daughter!" He tried to tell her she was wrong but she was not having it, Bella was on a roll. He turned to face her and saw her red doll face stained with tears that kept coming "Do you know how I felt? I WAITED HOURS FOR YOU DAD!" Bella couldn't look at her dad anymore. She ran leaving her dad alone, hoping she could find Emmett or some peace at least. Carlisle was a the bridge of tears as well.

BRANDON RESIDENCY

"Here, in this little notebook I'm going to write everything that happens to me, okay? So every time I come to see you I can tell you everything as if it was a fairytale" Alice was sad and she was trying with the best of efforts to not cry in front of Cynthia. She has had to take care of her little sister all her life. She loved her and it pains her having to leave her now that she was accepted in that academy.

Cynthia saw her sister upset, she didn't quite comprehend why. She only knew her beautiful sister was heavyhearted and when Cynthia felt bad she liked hugs, so she gave Alice one, making her big sister cry. She asked why she was crying and innocently offered to go and fetch her some fruit snacks. Alice told her she was going to miss her.

"Our auntie Shiobhan promised me she's going to brush your hair just like I do and she's going to let you far more pretty than I can" she hugged her with so much force she could hear her sister complaining. She let her go but Cynthia didn't leave her. As if she knew she needed her "She's going to paint your nails too". Cynthia started to clean the tears out of Alice's face. Action that melted her heart. Her sister was so pure. She wished she could take her to school with her.

She sat her in her room and showed her where Alice kept all the toys. She warned her she was now the one responsible to take care of all her dolls and teddy bears.

"I don't want to leave you, but I have to" Cynthia asked why once more trying to understand her sister "Because I want to be a doctor, like the ones that take care your pain away when you feel bad, and I want to be like them to help all the kids you say they look like you".

She changed the topic and showed her a pictured of the in her night stand and tell her how pretty they looked. Cynthia, every time she saw her sister, says how beautiful she is and how she wants to look like her; Mary Alice tell her she is the most beautiful girl in the world.

"I promise you, after I'm done with school I'm never leaving you, ok?"

ST. PETER'S HOSPITAL

Emmett was almost in the news. If it wasn't for his dad's bribery to the new's channel he would be the clown of the council kids. He was somewhat lucky, but still has to talk to Aro, and that meant trouble.

Right now he was talking with Peter about how it was just some scratches they had out of all the trouble the got in to. It was more a pride thing than a physical one. The car was being taken care of by the insurance. Peter told him his mom didn't come and his dad, who was away, called him to tell him how stupid he was.

The duo admitted it was stupid and now sober they also would think how stupid they were. Emmett was the most scared of the two. His dad was a scary man and this time he screw it. Bad. Maybe he was punished by not receiving his monthly money for a whole year. But he wasn't so foolish to think it was not going to be that easy. He wished in that moment be lesser than a politic son. He had made her mother think he was asleep when she came by. And now, as he played fight with Peter, Aro and Sulspicia McCarthy along their security entered his ala, where his room was located. The intimidating man cleared his throat calling his son and friends attention.

The guys stoped being dumb and stand as if they were military. Aro didn't say anything and Peter got the clue. He excused himself not without sending a look to Emmett. He wished all the luck to his best friend.

Emmett tried to explain himself but Aro raised his hand.

"You are hell-bent on destroying me. What the opposition didn't got away with, you almost did it in 5 minutes" he was talking with a tranquil and terrifying voice "Tell me something, boy. What is it you wanted to do? Sabotage me? Why don't you learn from the other politic sons? They are a millionth time better than you!" He was being harsh, Aro knew it and didn't care. His son almost wrecked the McCarthy reputation "You don't think in my public image, right? You don't care of what people say about me in the streets or TV" Emmett once more tried to explain but he wasn't given the opportunity "I didn't came here to listen to your poor excuses Emmett! I came here to tell you that if you think that just because you are my son, you can get away with anything and everything you are mistaken. This time, you are on your own; you went too far".

Emmett knew it. By now, the big guy was trembling with fear. He didn't have a clue of what his father was going to do to him.

"You almost kill people" Emmett didn't know this. He was drunk and didn't realized people were close by, so he almost let a cry out "You destroyed one of my cars. My trust would not be fixed".

"You have never trust me, dad. You only see the bad in me"

He regretted his words. He talked without noticing and couldn't stop. As if his son did not open his mouth he took a envelop out of his suit.

"You have a citation" Emmett asked him who reported him in a panicky voice "I did. The press is harassing me. Something had to be done".

"Of course. Giving your son´s head was the only solution" Emmett asked hurt.

He couldn't believe his dad. How… weren't the new's taken care of? Wasn't that part already solved?

"It's a shame that having so much intelligence you won't use it".

With that said Aro retrieved, he didn't let his wife go to their son. He is man. He needs to act like one. He didn't even ask his son how he was feeling. All he cared was what the name McCarthy represented, what Emmett almost did.

What do you think?
