The Glass Family
SPOV
I felt so bad. I felt like I had been shot straight in the stomach, Carlisle was so nice and Esme was the mother I never had. I looked at Claire sleeping with her cheeks swollen from crying so much and her pink lips pouty; I was stressed and needed a way out so I lit a cigarette and sat on the front porch with the moonlight glaring across the Cullen's yard and ours. The rain came down like a shower of sadness and dripped from the porch onto my bare feet which were pale from the cold. I suddenly saw a familiar pale face, It was Bella. Her mahogany hair flowed carelessly down to the small of her back and was soaking wet; it was curly from the rain and humidity of Texas air, she was wearing a white tank top with rips and red lace pants which was unusual, her pale hands were playing with the wet grass beside her, I noticed her mascara running down her face as raindrops hit her face violently. I stood up and walked cautiously to the fence and called her name.
"Bella?" I said curiously and she turned her head in my direction, she took in a deep breath and whispered.
"I'm sorry" she sank to her knees and began crying; I jumped over the fence and picked her up. No matter what she had said she was still my best friend...my sister. She put her arms around my neck and thanked me. I kissed her head and brought her inside, Michael shot up from the sofa and asked if she was okay.
"She...I don't know Mikey" I said honestly, Bella was shaking but not because she was cold...it was sadness. Michael took her off me and placed her gently on the sofa. He lit the fire and got her some of Eve's pyjamas and got her dressed. Eve came downstairs and brushed Bella's hair and did a half up half down plait that suited her.
"Bella, honey. Why aren't you at the Cullen's?" Eve asked and Bella sighed.
"They're all mad at me. They love you guys and I've ruined everything...I will blame anyone but myself and I shouldn't. I'm sorry" Bella looked at me with sad eyes; I sat next to her and smiled at her...her face seemed slowly sinking and wasting.
"Surely Jasper wants you back?" I said reasonably, Bella flinched like I had punched her.
"He agreed that It wasn't Claire's fault...and so do I. We had an argument" she said simply and blew some hair out of her face, she laughed sadly.
"I'm so stupid" she looked at me with teary eyes and I moved closer to her and she buried her head in my shoulder as I knew she didn't like people seeing her cry.

I felt so bad for Bella...she'd lost everything and still blamed herself. I brushed her hair whilst she spoke about her and Jasper. She said Jasper used to sing to her.
"Sing it for me" I asked and she smiled slightly.
I'm jealous of the rain, that falls upon your skin.
Its closer than my hands have been...
oh I'm jealous of the rain.
I'm jealous of the wind, that ripples through your clothes.
its closer than your shadow...
oh I'm jealous of the wind.
Bella had an amazing singing voice and she smiled sadly when she sang it, Shane rubbed her arm gently and Michael began to play the guitar softly the same tune that always made me happy. I looked at my phone and had a text from Jasper, Emmett, Rose and Edward it asked if Bella was at my house. I replied with a yes and I told them not to come over for a few days as Bella was pretty distraught. Sometimes you need a break from family...I knew what that was like.
"You're more than welcome to stay over for a few nights" I said and Bella hugged me. I hugged her back tightly and I realised that Claire was coming downstairs.

I stood up and walked to the living room door; I made sure that Claire knew Bella was here and went back into the lounge. Bella stood up and Shane walked to Claire.
"Listen Claire, I'm so sorry about what said to you...I was in a bad place and still am but you've all been very nice. I'm sorry Claire" Bella said sadly, Claire looked baffled and she smiled. I hugged Eve and kissed her lightly; Bella said she would make dinner for us and I didn't complain.
I patted Shane on the back and began playing my guitar softly...
