Bella took a deep breath and inhaled the familiar scent of home. The funeral was over, and she couldn’t be happier. In the foyer, she kicked off her black pumps and shook her left foot. She knew a blister was coming. Behind her, Anne, who was holding baby Edward, Helena, Darcy and her other siblings, Josie, Jake, Lizzy, Haley, Kevin, Sadie and Charlie came in. At the end of the line, Ben shuffled in. Bella noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. She realized how hard it must be to take care of eleven kids and one sister-in-law.

This story just popped in my head one day. Anne is loosly based off my sister and Melissa is based on my friends Katie (KatieSara) and Emalee smooshed together into one person. And Bella is based off myself.The fact that she feels guilt and blames herself is something I would do. It's actually someting I DO do. Tell me what you think. ;)

This is a short story I wrote last year... I don't write tragedy very often, it usually only happens when I feel like writing and I'm sad. :P
