"I knew I'd fucked up, and sometimes life didn't always give second chances for your mistakes. I knew all of this, but the empty gaping hole where she had lived for most of my life - where her soul was intertwined with mine - it didn't care about rational thought, it didn't care about accepting punishments, it wanted its mate back, and it was blind in its desperation to have it."

Edward and Bella have been lovebirds for a long time and want nothing more than to put their relationship on a new level. Unfortunately though, things start to go downhill when Edward's band hits the road of success and becomes popular. Very popular. Surrounded by fame and opportunities, Edward spends more time on the road than he spends at home, eventually even leaving Bella alone at times when she needs him the most. Although Bella is pretty upset about his constant absence, she understands that Edward's career is something he has worked hard for as long as she can remember. Knowing that his band is the second love of his life, she was willing to wait for her man to come back to her, but all her hopes are shattered when she finds Edward in bed with another woman. Not interested in hearing any kind of excuses from Edward, she rushes out of his place and breaks out in tears, mourning the loss of her true love. Edward, on the other hand, is devastated and utterly confused by the situation he apparently has put himself in the night before. Two things he knows for sure: one, he did not have sex with the strange woman sleeping next to him in his bed; and two, he will do everything in his power to get his beloved Bella back.

Once again, livie79 has written a fantastic story with an extremely realistic plot. She has depicted a scenario in which a couple that is deeply in love with one another drifts apart due to a successful career in music as well as a major misunderstanding. And let me assure you right away that this story does not involve any kind of cheating and has a very lovely HEA! It is heart-warming to see Edward so determined to win Bella's heart back - even though he has to realize, as he starts picking up all the pieces of their once so wonderful relationship, that this kind of undertaking won't be easy. Sometimes all a couple lacks is communication and really, that is the main issue in this story. You will find yourself wanting to beg the two lovebirds to finally talk everything out so they can get back together. And when that finally happens in the end, it will put a smile to your face and you will breathe a sigh of relief. This story has everything that you want in a fanfic from sentimental feelings to a great plot. Furthermore, the alternating perspectives of both Edward and Bella really give you insight to both their minds, making the story whole and vivid. Do give it a read!

Glass House consists of 26 chapters and 60,616 words. The story is rated M for language, some angst, and sexual activities.
