Bella's POV
The looks on Amy, Lauren, and Dani's faces was so hard. I attempt to brace myself for what's coming next. I know it'll be even harder.
Christina enters the room followed by Lisa and Katherine. Chrissy sits by my feet while the other two sit on either side of me. I take in a deep breath.
"I'm sorry," I whisper. I watch a few tears stream down Lisa's face.
"Why did you try to kill yourself?" Kath asks softly. I see that she's holding back tears.
"I've um been feeling so alone. Somehow I got it in my head that I was a burden to you guys. I wanted more than anything to tell you my thoughts when you kept asking but I was stubborn, I just couldn't ask for help. I'm so sorry," I whisper to them. All 3 of my older sister have tears running down their cheeks now, even Christina.
Then I hear Lisa speak and the sadness in her voice breaks my heart. "Were you cutting before you did this?"
I sigh and nod. Lisa starts to full on cry and Kath's tears continue. I look at Christina as a tear slips down my cheek. I put one of my arms around Lisa and one around Kath. They cry for a while and I hold them, trying to keep myself from crying.
After a while Kath is sitting up again and then Lisa looks up at me.
"It's okay to fall apart sometimes. We're your sisters, we'll catch you when you fall," she tells me.
"We love you," Kath adds. No longer can I hold back my tears. I start to bawl and I cry into Lisa's shoulder. She holds me tight while Kath rubs my back. Christina, sitting at the bottom of my bed, rubs my leg.
I finally feel safe.
*Several Weeks Later*
Bella's POV
"Do any of you ever think about how different your life could be if you had made different choices?" I ask my sisters. We're all sitting in Lisa, Lauren and Dani's room.
"Of course," Christina says.
"All the time," Amy tells me. The others all nod in agreement.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm finally happy where I am," I say and smile.
"I am too," my sisters chorus.
"I love you so much," I tell them.
"We love you too babygirl," Christina says to me. We have a big group hug and I smile as I feel the love radiating in the room.
"This family means everything to me," I say and it's true. This is my forever family.
