Queenlike - A Emmett Cullen Fanfiction

Chapter TWENTYTHREE

SUNDAY

I woke up to my alarm blaring, I groaned and turned to turn the thing off. I looked at the time and it said 11:30, I groaned once again. It felt like I needed more sleep but I couldn't. My family would get home today and they expected me to make them lunch for when they arrived.

I rolled out of bed and pulled on a hoodie and sweatpants over my pyjamas before walking downstairs to figure out what to make them for lunch. I didn't really like cooking that much but it was a much needed skill for life so I forced myself to do it.

I decided to make chicken salad, grandma would definitely like it as it's her favourite meal. I took the chicken out of the freezer and tried to thaw it. I then started to chop the veggies and cooked some rice. When the chicken was not frozen, I cooked it. I then put everything into a bowl and started to set the table.

Everything was finally done as I heard cars pulling into the driveway. Soon my all my family piled inside the house and walked to the dining room.

" Hello everyone " I said and smiled at them.

" Oh Madeleine you look like a mess " My grandma said with a French accent lacing her words.

" I'm sorry " I said.

" Oh I can't even look at you, fix it " Grandma said and waved her hands around dramatically.

I nodded and went up to my room to quickly change. I put on a dress as I knew that would please her and of course some heels. Then I brushed my hair and put on some makeup before returning downstairs to my family hoping that I looked okay to her.

I sat down in my chair and took some food as the other ones had already started without me.

" It tastes bland and weird " Grandma said with her thick French accent.

" It doesn't look appetising either, first you can't make yourself look presentable and then you can't even cook an okay meal! It's horrible! " She gasped and looked at me.

I don't know what came over me but I slammed my fork down and stood up.

" Then cook your own damn food woman " I yelled and walked up stairs to my room, not forgetting to lock my door so that nobody could come in.

I heard a lot of commotion and yelling downstairs but I couldn't care less. Small tears was coming down my cheeks and tried my best to brush them away. I picked up my phone and went to Emmetts contact.

" Hey, is everything going okay for you?  - Madeleine "

I waited and waited for him to return my text but he didn't, the yelling continued downstairs. I went through my contact list until I came to the one I was looking for, Paul Lahote. I pressed the phone button and pressed it against my ear.

" Maddie? " Paul's voice rang through my ear.

" Paul, Hi " I said and tried to suppress my emotions. I hadn't talked to him since my junior year started.

" Is everything okay? " He asked.

" No " I said.

" Come to me " He said and hung up the phone.  I placed my phone in my the pocket of my dress and put on some tights and changed into some sneakers, which was very weird for me. I then took my car keys and opened my window. I climbed down my house wall and jumped down the last few meters. I then ran to my car quickly and started it and drove away to La push.
