Suddenly a lot of things about Bella became very clear. This woman was a piece of work.

J POV
There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.
I looked up from my guitar to see Bella standing in the doorway. I pulled my headphones off and let them settle around my neck.
"I didn't know you played" I forgot how little time I was actually allowed to spend around Bella. How much we didn't know about each other. Edward was always worried I would slip up around her, which was ridiculous really. Bella's blood didn't call to me nearly as much as it did to him.
"I'm from the south darling, is it really that surprising?" I asked her with a smirk.
"No, I guess not." She replied with a slight laugh. It was good to hear her laugh again, even if just for a second. I set my guitar down and looked at her again. She was fidgeting and I could tell she wanted to say something.
"Whats on your mind Bells?"
""I don't know. I guess… I just wanted Renee to be a little more concerned maybe? I mean I thought she would at least offer to stay for his funeral but…" Trailing off she walked into the room and sat down on the floor with her back against the bed. I slid down to sit next to her. It was easy to see where she was coming from and I could feel the hurt coming off of her. Renee walked away from her daughters heartbreak and pain without a look back. It reminded me how much Bella needed us.
"I wish I could give you a reason why she didn't stay but I really can't Bella. I don't understand it myself. But you have us. You're not gonna have to deal with this alone. We both know Emmett would never let that happen." I told her laughing at that. It was true. Emmett was doing everything he could to keep Bella busy so that she would have time to focus on what was going on around her.
"I know, and I'm so thankful for everyone. I guess a part of me just wished that she wanted to be here." With a sigh she tilted her head back to look at the ceiling.
"Hey why don't we go find Rose and Em and go do something. See a movie maybe. You haven't left the house in a week, you need to get out. Its not good to be cooped up all the time."
"If we can pull Emmett away from his video games then sure." She got up and walked out of the room shaking her head. We both knew it would be near impossible to get Em away from his xbox but there was a chance if Bella went and asked him.
B POV
Two hours later we were walking out of the theater laughing. The movie we saw was incredibly stupid but it was good to be able to forget about everything and to laugh.
