Mellie's POV
After school, I dropped my brothers off at home since they didn't have any after school activities today and headed to my shift at the diner. I was cleaning tables and ignoring Charlie and Bella's existence. I had my earbuds in and I was gently humming while swaying my hips as I listened to Imagine Dragons.

My head bobbed to the music and I was relaxing and enjoying myself until I saw a boney, pale hand in desperate need of moisturizer waving about.

I looked up to see Bella sitting alone at the table, Charlie probably went to the restroom, and she gestured for me to take out my earbuds. I sighed and loaded up my sass cannon before obey her silent request.

I put a hand on my hip and gave her my most annoyed facial expression as she smirked "Well look at this.... I bet your mom drank away all her money and now has to put you to work in order to avoid prostitution.....unless she's finally accepted the fact that she's a whore" I clenched my fist as I resisted the urge to pummel her face in....although, it'd probably be an improvement.

Bella continued "Maybe if you help me out with a few things, I'll give you some of my inheritance money" I bit back a laugh and promptly faked a smile while saying "Thank you for your concern cousin, but my mom still has her job as head of L&D so we're just fine. I just work so I actually have my own money and don't go running to mommy and daddy like a lazy, spoiled princess such as yourself....then again, princesses are supposed to be pretty and kind which you aren't."

Bella scowled at me, but before she could say anything I continued "As for your offer..... I would rather drink gas station toilet water than help the obnoxious and arrogant brat who had the nerve to call my mother a hooker whilst hers is the one known for infidelity" Bella's face turned beet red at that, but before she could say anything I put my ear bud back in and walked to the kitchen.

I peered out through the window to see if she was going to complain to my manager (not that Gus really cared) only to see her leaning forward and smirking while inching the top of her shirt down to show off her mosquito bites to none other than my father.

I gagged and went to work on dishes instead.

I made a favorite of spaghetti and meatballs before calling my brothers down to eat. Then after dinner I saved mom a meal before going up to the bathroom and showering. After my shower, I did my homework and went to bed.

Once more my dreams were filled with Alice and Jasper, like they have been for the passes two years.
