Chapter 11: S.O.S.

-Model This-

I lay down the bacon and eggs on the table in front of Edward. He had slept the whole day away yesterday and now I'm waiting for some answers. He took his first bite and looked like a kid in a candy store.

"This is really great, Bells. What did you do?"

I shrugged.

"It's just bacon and eggs, Edward. There's not really anything fancy to them."

He took another bite and looked like he was savoring the moment.

"This is the first time I've had an actual meal in a long time."

I tried to hide my shock. How can anyone go any amount of time without an actual meal? I guess I didn't a too good job of hiding my emotions.

"It's all part of the story, Bella. Just give me a few minutes."

I silently nodded and stared down at my own plate. I suddenly wasn't very hungry anymore. Once he had finished eating I looked at him expectantly.

"So, I warn you, this story is not a pretty one. As you know I'm Edward Cullen. Well, to the fans I'm Edward Mason. The Edward Mason. Everyone wanted to see me, every guy wanted to be me. Once I made it big, it got to my head.

"I started hanging out with the wrong kinds of actors. The drug users, the ones that got drunk every night just because they can. Even the actors that tried to get any woman into their bed. It's one of my darkest times.

"A couple nights ago Mike decided that he wanted to check out this abandoned warehouse. I figured why not? What's the harm in an abandoned warehouse? I also figured that he was bringing the heroine or the cocaine. Whatever the drug of choice was for that night. That's one of the few things I got right.

"Mike showed up around ten with some cocaine. We all got high and someone decided we should see who can jump from the highest stair. It was a brilliant idea at the time… Don't give me that look, Bella. I know what I did was really stupid. I'm beyond done with drugs."

I blanched. Was he seriously stupid enough to do drugs?

"Anyway, you could see what happened. I jumped from the tenth stair and it didn't end well. I'm lucky that I didn't break anything. But, I didn't say thank you, Bella. Thanks for saving my butt back there. I really didn't expect you to come and I sure as hell didn't deserve it."

I put my hand over his. What else was I supposed to do? Say that everything was alright when it clearly wasn't?

"Edward, I think you should think about going into rehab. I know that you say that you're done, but you're addicted..."

He took his hand away from mine and looked out the window. His hands went straight to his hair and he started the pulling. Is it bad how attractive that was?

"I don't know what to do," he said quietly.

I picked up my phone and dialed Emmett. He picked up after the second ring.

"Hey, Bellaboo. What's up with you?"

I smiled at his nickname for me.

"I need you to come to my apartment, Em. I have your brother here and he's trying to get straightened out. We need your help."

It sounded like Emmett had dropped the phone. I heard a few cuss words then he was back on the line.

"I'll be there in a few moments, Bella. Make sure to keep your eye on him."

Then, the line went dead. I looked over at Edward who was fiddling with his napkin.

"Emmett's on his way," I stated.

He nodded silently and the door burst open just a few minutes later. I looked over and smiled at Emmett.

"Come on, bro. Let's get your shit straight."

THE END
