Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair Disk and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Is there a native messaging app? I see all kinds of messaging apps and I need to know which one is the apple original app.

The iChat.app / Messages.app application has been part of OS X for many years, and the app is located in the Applications folder.
Here's a general intro to OS X, and here's the Messages.app info.
