In My Brother's Shadow

In My Brother's Shadow written by:  2brown-eyes

Summary:  As a child, Bella always felt second best when in it came to her twin brother, Emmett. Now years later, an accident has brought her back to Forks. Will she be thrust back into her brother's shadow? Or will she be finally be seen as something other than Emmett's sister.

Ramble:  Ok, so this ramble will probably have some spoilers, but wow.  It has been a few days since I've read this story, and man, oh man, I still remember most of what happened (at least I think I do).  Emmett and Bella are siblings. Charlie is able to connect with Emmett more than Bella, and he just brushes her aside.  Eventually, Bella and Renee leave for sunnier places.  Renee is diagnosed with seasonal depression.  Renee dies before she married Phill, though they were in a serious relationship, and Alice is his daughter.  Bella is contacted when Charlie and Emmett are in an accident.  Skipping over things, Edward is in trouble with his parents, and in general because of street racing.  He and Bella start to hang out with each other.  Bella learns a lot more about her brother during her stay in Forks.  Later, we find out that there is some undercover work going on.  By the end of the story, there are a few characters that I wanted to go in and smack, though things do work out for the most part.  The abuse tag is there, for some of the violence that was hinted at, and the fact that there is some abuse, as Carlisle said, not all abuse is physical.
