BPOV- Bella's Background
My name is Bella Swan. I have six older brothers. That is right I said 6. There is Emmett and Sam who are both 28 and play professional football for the Seattle Seahawks. Then there is Ben who is 26 and works for an accounting firm. My next brother Paul, 25, decided he did not want to go to college and he is a cop. Jasper, 23, is pursuing his graduate degree in psychology. Lastly, the babies of the family are Seth and I. We both are 22 and seniors at the University of Washington. Seth took after our dad and is working on his law degree were I am working on my education degree.
It has been my brothers and I for the past 8 years. Our parents died in a plane crash on the way to Hawaii to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. My brother Emmett adopted Paul, Jasper, Seth and I in order to keep the family together.
We were lucky that we didn't have to change schools since we already had a house in Washington close to campus. Emmett, Sam and Ben moved back home in order to take care of us. It was a shock for me to lose my parents at such a young age but my brothers helped me get through it.
I had a hard time growing up without my mother. I remember when I was 14 and got my first period. I was a late bloomer but already knew what to do.
It was a Friday night and I was at home watching a movie with Seth. "Bella I want some popcorn would you make me some, please." Seth looked at me pleading with his big brown eyes.
"Fine but next time you have to make me what I want."
Has I got up off the coach I heard Seth say, "Thanks Bella. You are my favorite sister." Seth was always trying to suck-up to me because I was the only person in this family who could actually cook edible food.
I walked into and placed a package of popcorn in the microwave. I had just turned it on when I felt something wet on my panties. I went into the bathroom to check it out and I saw a red spot on my underwear. So that explains the stomach pains I have been having all day.
Damn I don't have any pads or tampons and there is no way I can go to the store and get some. Suck it up Bella you are just going to have to ask on of your brothers to go for you.
"Bella are you alright? You have been in there for a long time." I couldn't ask Seth because he can't drive. Sam, Emmett and Ben were with their girlfriends so that left Paul.
"I'm okay Seth can you get Paul for me." I heard Seth leave to get Paul.
"What do you need Bells? Do you need me to unclog the toilet for you again?" Paul said laughing. I swear that my brothers would never let that go. I tried to unclog it myself but I wasn't strong enough.
"I have a feminine problem Paul. Can you go to the store for me?" I know I was beet red but I wished he would understand what I meant.
"Bells what the hell is a feminine problem? Stop talking in riddles!" I could hear Seth laughing at what Paul said. I knew the bastard had already figured it out but he wouldn't tell Paul for me.
"What is everyone doing by the bathroom door? Did Bella stop up the toilet again?" Could my life get any worse? Now Jasper was there too.
"I don't know what the hell is going on Jasper. Seth comes and gets me and tells me Bella needs me. Then Bella tells me she has "feminine problems". What the hell are feminine problems? Did she break a nail?" Paul was getting angry.
I heard both Seth and Jasper start laughing. "Paul don't you remember from Sex Ed videos that "feminine problems" is coded for I have my period?"
"Why the fuck would I want to know that Bella has her period?" I guess I should have just waited until someone else got home.
"She needs pads and tampons. I don't think we have ever bought any." I think I just want to curl up in the corner and die from embarrassment after what Jasper said.
"There is no way in hell I am going to get those! Jasper you go your older and knew what "feminine problems" were."
"Fine I will go does anyone need anything else from the drug store? Bella?" Jasper was always calm and wanting to avoid conflict.
"No I think that is all I need."
"Okay, I will be back soon." I heard both Jasper and Paul leave. Thank god, that was over.
"Bella, this was soooooo much better than watching a movie. I don't think I have every laugh so hard in my entire life." Seth was always laughing when I was embarrassed.
"Seth just leave. I just want to be left alone." I knew the tears would start soon and didn't want anyone to be able to hear them. I heard Seth walk away.
I decide while I was waiting for Jasper to get back I would take a shower to clean myself up. The warm water felt great and helped ease my cramps some. I really missed my mom. If she was still alive she would know how to make me feel better and there wouldn't have been any awkward conversations with my brothers.
I just finished my shower and drying off when I heard a knock at the door. "Bella, I left the goods outside the door. Let me know if you need anything else." I then heard Jasper leaving.
I just finished wrapping the towel around my body and was getting ready open the door and get the goods when I heard the stomping of my favorite brother Emmett. I could hear Sam right behind him and they were talking about football.
"Oh what do we have here? I think we should take a look. It might be candy and I am pretty hungry." Why did Emmett have to be so curious? I could hear the bag crinkling and then a gasp.
"Oh my god! It seems our little Belly as grown up. Look Sam pads and tampons. Oh Belly are you hiding behind that door?" Why couldn't I have gotten to the bag faster than them.
"Emmett, I think we should just leave her alone. She has to be really embarrassed and it has to be hard without having mom around." Sam was a savior he was also trying to protect me against Emmett's teasing.
"Shut it Sam or should I say Samantha? What are you a girl? Come on Belly just talk to us or I am going to hide your stuff." I could hear Emmett laughing on the other side of the door.
"Emmett please just leave the stuff and leave." My voice cracked on the end and I know he could tell I was crying. Who wouldn't be crying? I have never been so humiliated in my entire life.
"Sorry Belly. We are leaving now." I could hear the remorse in Emmett's voice.
I quickly opened the door and secured the bag. I hurried up and inserted a tampon and ran back to my room with the goods and got clean clothes. After I was dressed and everything in the female area was taken care of, I decide I would go find Emmett and make him feel better.
I went downstairs to the family room and saw all my brothers staring at the TV. I guess someone had filled Ben in on what had happen while he was gone.
"Bella are you going to come join us?" Seth being my twin usually knew how I was feeling. I just wanted to forget this evening ever happened.
"Sure what are we watching?" Just like that, everything was back to normal and that night was never spoken about again.
My brothers have always been there for me in good times and bad. They were all there when Seth and I graduated from high school. I swear I saw tears but they denied it saying it was just allergies.
We still live together in our parents' house. Emmett and Sam are gone a lot because of football but my other 4 brothers are still around.
I have never had a really boyfriend. Boys are pretty much a big no-no because my brothers would beat them up. They are over-protective but I still love them. When I went to prom with Mike, they grilled him for an hour before they would let us leave. Mike was scared to death and never asked me out again.
College was no different from high school. Boys stayed away because of my brothers and I didn't have any problems with school. When I graduated with my education degree, I wanted to be a first grade teacher just like mom.
It was early August and Emmett decided he wanted to have a party for the new football season. I somehow was roped into make all the food for around 50 people.
I was making the desserts and need some help. Emmett walked into the kitchen and I knew he would help me. "Emmett will you help me mix the batter for the cake?"
"Sorry Belly I need to go get ready for the party." When I turned around, he was gone. Damn him! See if I ever make food for him again. My arm felt like it was about to fall off from all the baking I have done today. I just put the cake in the oven when I heard the doorbell ring. I knew my brothers would be off getting ready so I would have to answer the door.
I knew I looked like a mess. I probably had flour on my face and I am sure my hair was a mess. Oh well it was probably just the UPS man leaving a package. He was probably gone because they only ring the bell once, leave the package and then run back to their truck.
When I finally opened the door, I looked into the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen and he definitely wasn't the UPS man.
