You were Bella’s sister— well, half sister since you were from Charlie’s previous marriage. When your parents had gotten a divorce, one parent took one child— ultimately leading to your separation.

You rarely saw each other for the years following, only ever when Bella came down to spend the summer in Forks every other year. You missed her sometimes, and you wished that things hadn’t ended the way that they did.

That was maybe the reason for you being absolutely ecstatic when you heard that Bella was permanently moving to Forks. It wasn’t exactly a good reason, since your mother had died, but you were still relieved to know that you and your sister were finally reuniting.

It took Bella a few weeks to find her feet permanently in the small town— joining the school and Charlie pushing her to join clubs around town, but in the end, you had been there by her side the whole time and helped her settle down nicely.

After a few weeks, Bella had found herself a boyfriend— before you, which in some way made you jealous, but you still couldn’t help but be happy for her. After all, the special man was Edward Cullen himself— the boy everyone thought to be entirely unapproachable.

You rarely saw her after they met, since she often spent a lot of her time at the Cullen house. The house felt empty, her room felt untouched… it felt weird.

A good while into their relationship, Bella finally made the decision to introduce you properly to Edward and his family.

That was how you found yourself at the front door to the Cullen’s house.

You would’ve never anticipated, ever, that when the door was opened and you were welcomed inside by Edward’s dad, Carlisle, that you would fall head over heels for someone that was most likely twice your age.

Daddy issues?
