I'M A MESS
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good, good life
That's what my therapists say
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be just fine
It's gonna be a good, good life
I'm a mess, I'm a loser
I'm a hater, I'm a user

This is kind of a rushed and fill chapter, is very short too but i have a lot of homework and the up coming chapters we are going to get to see Jasper, and some Bella and Edward interaction as well as Emmett and Rose.
ST. MARCUS ACADEMY
Emmett was exhausted. He was still waiting for the authorities of school and the ones his fathers had thrown him at. Just yesterday, after his dad told him the news he was dismissed from the hospital Right now, in his room in his pajamas he was about to explode of anger. He wanted nothing more than to drink.
Peter was still at home, he was coming back tomorrow along with the scholarship kids, so he was all alone in their room since the other guy who slept there went out of the country and was not coming back.
"EMMETT MCCARTY!" Bella stormed in is room all red and angry. She was in a simple tank top and sweat pants all black. It was her depression outfit, so he assumed she was wearing her platform flip flops. She ran and threw herself at him, not caring of his bruised body "How are you feeling?" she asked, concerned.
"From drinking, all good but my body feels like i had an axe in every single limb". She then sat down and gave him a bottle of electrolyte drink. She told him it was going to make him feel better. He thanked her and patted her knee as she got rid of her shoes.
This is what is like between them. They loved each other like the sibling the never had. A lot of people, including their teachers think they are together because of how they are like with one another, but they grew up together. Of course Bella is stunning but he could not touch her in that way and he preferred blondes anyway. And Bella only dated older guys, and he was just months older than her. Not like Bella dated a lot but you know how it is.
They stayed like that for a few minutes. She needed to make sure Emmett was okay; he was like, a brother. She loved Emmett and they take care of each other. Always.
"You know what Em, sometimes I don't understand you" He asked her what she was saying, although he knew where this was going "I don't know… I think you're a boy who has it all… You are very handsome, all the girls want something with you, and you have music talent and money… I really don't get why you like to get drunk" He answered her honestly. He liked it but didn't offer more explanation "You like to throw up, get into accidents and feel like your world is spinning, or what?" she was angry at him.
"No, that's just an aftermath" he chuckled "When you drink you forget everything…" He couldn't explain to her what exactly he felt when he drunk. How all his problems went away whit just a couple of beers. How he was able to lose consciousness of his dad's pressure on him to be something else. She told him that she does not consider that a few shots of tequila can make him forget his daddy issues "I swear to you Bells, I don't want to talk about that. I mean, I just hear people talking about the great Aro McCarthy and my head slits in two" Bella innocently asked him why he just have not told him he didn't like the way he treats him. Yesterday he texted her of all that happened in the hospital and she was obviously concerned. Apart from Peter, Isabella was the only other person who knew what was actually happening with the McCarthys "He doesn't listen to me. Never" Emmett sat down facing his friend "I'm sick of feeling like a failure".
"You are not a failure just because of how your dad treats you Em… but you can be one for not facing him" She talked with honesty as she moved to the head of his bed and sat down against the wall making Emmett lay down with his head on her lap. Then Emmett asked her how it went with Carslisle "He decided that I was not to go with him to the Paris Fashion Show next month. I mean… I kind of knew he would not take me with him but I thought he was going to tell me when the date was getting close. I guess I gave him the perfect excuse".
She told him everything he told her and how she reacted. She wasn't answering his calls and even got the secretary of the school to tell him she was unavailable. They both agree that they got the lottery with their parents. They had all the money in the world but not time or love.
"Changing the topic, you won't guess who's one of the new girls in the academy! The daughter of some cheap singer with zero fashion sense! Ew, like, I went to greet her and when her mom left us alone she threw her drink at me and insulted me and Lauren" He asked who she was "Some blonde girl with awful clothes and she's like an Amazonian, all tall and curvy. She's pretty but her personality and fashion… ew" she made a gagging noise making him laugh. Trust Bella to be more offended in how a person was dressed than how they treated her.
At the entrance of the school Alice and her aunt Shiobhan were expecting someone to take them to the office where the principal was handing them the documents to make her admission final. All the called teens where here to stay and their parents to sign them off to school.
They were animatedly talking about how exciting was going to be when a body slammed against Alice's aunt making her throw the sandwiches she brought for lunch since it was a large travel coming here.
Edward Masen politely apologized and introduced himself to women. He met Shiobhan and Alice Brandon, the last one his new classmate it seems. They started talking about where they come from and realized they were far away from home now and how tired and hungry he was. He came in bus when the Brandon girls came in train.
"Twelve hours in a bus?! You must be so sleepy and very hungry then…here, take some of my sandwiches, I made a few and you threw some away but I think they are going to do just fine for the three of us… here, take two".
While they waited for the person to guide them they asked Edward his story. He told them everything except his real motivation in coming here to St. Marcus and how his father really died. Shiobhan explained to him that he needed a legal guardian and his mother's signature.
"Do I really need all that? I mean, we barely had any money for me to come here and I don't think she can make it" The truth was his mother accepted him to come here but not completely so he couldn't make himself ask her to sign for him.
Shiobhan thought what was she about to offer…
"I can be your legal tutor… but you need to get your hands dirty and make your mom's signature… you think this school is worth all the trouble?" Alice was open mouthed of what her aunt was offering. She was glad and kind of scare for both of them. Edward gratefully accepted the risk "But I'm going to ask a favor in exchange… please watch over my Alice… she's very innocent and good and I'm scare of what people can do to her…" Mary Alice protested telling them how she was a big girl and Edward agreed with Shiobhan and thanked his father and God to have sent him this two angels in the way.
What do you think?
