Band-aid Brigade

Chapter Two

———- Cullen ————

“No! Gah, why am I the only one in this entire house with the capability to dress myself?” I turned to Emmett’s closet; there wasn’t one article of clothing hung up. I knew what I would be doing after school… I groaned out loud. 

“Lighten up Ali.” He raised his hand toward my head. I ducked and jabbed him lightly in the gut. 

“Don’t you even think about ruffling my hair! This just out of bed look took me a half hour! And… I am not going to lighten up! I bought everything you own in that closet and you can’t even use it properly!” I pulled out a pile in the bottom and picked out some clothes that didn’t smell that bad. I would have to wash everything. I set the clothes out on his bed and left him to change. He really should just stick with jeans and a T-shirt. How he found those neon pants were beyond me. 

All four of us were on the second floor. This is the first house that doesn’t have a hot tub, or a pool. It was just a small conservative house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Can you believe I had to share a bathroom! It was only Edward, he was a little less gross in the boy department than Emmett. 

I walked right into Edward’s room, not bothering to knock. Just as I had suspected, he was still sleeping. I opened his closet glad that his was presentable. I’d have to tidy it up a little. I pulled out some shirts and picked a Navy Raker Stripe Crew and a pair of faded jeans. Edward used to be fashionably inclined, but he just stopped caring. After his outfit for today was placed on top of Edward, I plopped down on the edge. 

“Edward, when you play piano until 2 a.m. you have to know that the whole house suffers and not just you.” He had his head still under the covers from the onslaught of light when I walked in. “This house isn’t soundproof and I need my beauty rest. Besides today is the first day of high school, everyone needed there sleep last night.” I had slept with my iPod playing soothing sounds of the rainforest all night just so I would be able to sleep.
