Bella Clarke
Tears ran down my face as I reread the text that Gabe had sent me, over and over again. After everything that has happen, he thinks this is the way to go? I understand that he feels guilty about what went down with me and Ivy, but he shouldn't. I'm the one that hid my feelings from the both of them, when in reality...I should've just came out and told her how I felt. I thought that pushing my feelings aside, just to spare my cousin's feelings, was the way to go but clearly...I was wrong.
"Bella?" I heard Mila say, as she knocked on my door.
"Go away." I called out, staring down at my phone. My door came opened anyways as I sighed and looked up, seeing all my siblings walking in. Mila was holding a plate of food, Cairo had a canned soda and a straw, Zaiden had a handful of movies in his hand, and Alayah? Well...she had her sippy cup and her favorite stuffed animal. "What are you guys doing?"
"Cheering you up. Mom made dinner and since you've barely eaten anything in almost a week...I took the liberty of making your plate." Mila said.
"And I have your favorite soda, Mountain Dew: Code Red, and a straw since you don't like putting your mouth on the edge of the can like a normal person." Cairo voiced, making me smile.
"I brought all the scary movies you like to watch, but I'm not going to watch them with you because their scary." Zaiden said. I looked down at Alayah, expecting for her to talk, but all she did was crawl into bed with me and give me a hug. I hug is exactly what I need right now.
"Thanks guys. I really appreciate this." I said, getting choked up. They all climbed into my bed, embracing me in a hug, as we sat there like that for the longest. Ugh, as much as they drive me crazy...I love my siblings so much.

After eating my dinner and watching all of the Insidious movies with my siblings, Zaiden included, I was starting to feel better already. Of course, my heart still ached from the text message that Gabe had sent me, but I was sure that he was just trying to steer clear until things between me and Ivy got better. IF...If they got better.
"You okay in here, baby girl?" My dad asked, standing in the doorway with my mom next to him.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said, nodding my head. They walked into my room, sitting down on my bed, as my dad playfully nudged me. I smiled a little, bringing my knees up to my chest, as I looked at them. I know this is weird to say, but I have some very good looking parents. I mean my mom is undeniably beautiful and my dad is overall handsome, which is probably why they created all of us beautiful Clarke babies.
"We understand that it's been a rough week for you, but that doesn't mean you can sit in your room and sulk all day and night." My mom said. "I used to do that and it only made me miserable, and I don't want you to be miserable."
"I know, but I can't help it. I've made a mess of things, all because I chose to hide my feelings for someone that I grew up with my whole life. And now, thanks to Ivy, he wants nothing more to do with me." I laid my head down on my knees, feeling the tears swell up in my eyes once again. You'd think I'd be cried out by now, but nope. The tears just keep coming.
