Thread: Love is a Mess

What was life like, when it came to being in the shoes of the infamous Bella? It was glorious, that's what it was. She was breathtaking, and coupled with enough nonsense to not let the ritualistic drama of her high school get to her, alongside intelligence that was quite rare for someone like her...it was no wonder that she was the hottest meal ticket in town. It seemed as though every good trait that her parents possessed, were given to her. Nonetheless, she would vouch for having some amazing brothers. The older one, her parents would disagree on. He had always been trouble, and always did what they didn't want him to do. However, Bella couldn't help but find him hopelessly captivating, had done such from a very young age. She was certain that these feelings were beyond taboo, and extremely disrespectful...yet, she couldn't fight it. After all, he wasn't allowed home anyways it seemed. She never got to see him as much as she wished to. It was something she would have to deal with, as the rest of her family dealt with it right alongside her. It was difficult, but livable. Her younger brother on the other hand, was the awkward one of the bunch. Considerably shy and to put it bluntly, strange, Bella grew to be quite protective over him, even if it wouldn't be obvious. She felt the need to watch over him, hoping that he wouldn't be swept up in the tragic life of being an outcast in school. Most people wouldn't admit it, but school truly did have a strong impact on a person. She knew it from experience. With the way her life was, being the golden child, having everything she could possibly ever want, she knew she was given a one-way ride to being at the top. Lucky, yes, Bella already knew she was quite lucky. It was Friday night currently, and although her friends had begged her to stay home, she opted for tagging along with her younger brother and staying in to watch some movies. He had asked her, and he rarely did so. Their parents were currently off on a business trip that would keep them away for a little over a week, and though it was exciting to have the house all to themselves, it was also intimidating. Bella grew significantly paranoid, and certainly it didn't help when she suddenly heard glass break. Immediately jerking awake, she sat up within her bed, feeling her heart begin to thump erratically. Knowing her brother, he was still asleep, and would stay asleep until she shook him out of his slumber. Okay...perhaps it was just her imagination? Then again, why would she possibly imagine glass breaking? It didn't add up. Okay, so...she'll go check it out, that seemed logical. Small, bare feet padded along the ground, her petite body donned in only a simple white t-shirt that barely made it past her bare ass. Sweeping back the frustratingly long golden curls from her face, she peeked around the corner and to say the least, was shocked into silence from what she saw. It was Liam, her older brother. Her heart gave a nervous patter and she allowed him to at least get to his bedroom. He would find it unchanged, and while that familiar silhouette stopped in the doorway, she felt strikingly sad. She had missed him...they had always been close, despite their differences. Why had their parents given up on him so soon? Maybe they realized something she hadn't yet, Bella figured. Biting into her bottom lip, she wondered what she should do, and wondered why the hell he had broken in. He was probably drunk...had to be, he was stumbling all over. So she waited a few minutes, and allowed him to settle in before darting across the hallway and peeking into his room. Liam, she whispered, smiling the moment she saw him better, the light buzzing above them helping in aiding her sight. She didn't ask him right away what he was doing, or if he was okay. Instead, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms about his broad shoulders, having to hike herself up on her tippy toes to do so. Bella hugged him tightly, face pressing into the curvature of his neck. Yes, she did know she was practically half naked and pressed up against her sibling, but she was just so happy to see him, that was all!
