AN: Hey lovely person who is reading this, how ya doin? Any who, I am here to present the beginning of one-shots that are thoughts from characters of another character, moments mentioned in passing throughout my story, or any suggestions of scenes with certain characters( Like Esme and Lucy bonding, Maggie moments, even ones of Denis Maves, etc. Etc.) If you have any suggestions, ideas for a one-shot, or something you want to read about then feel free to suggest one. :) Happy reading!
Oh forgot to mention this takes place in my story Falling and will continue on with the sequel I have planned, so if you wandered here and get confused as to what is going on and who Lucy is then just pop on over to the main story (or stories, depending on when you read this.)

#1: Edward hears what Jasper thinks of Lucy. (Mentioned in Chapter 15)
Edward Cullen had just gotten back from his girl friend Bella's house early in the morning, seeing as he promised his 'sister' he wouldn't hog he all day; as he usually tended to do. His sister Alice had planned to take the love of his life and their best friend, not Edwards and Bella's best friend, but Alice and Bella's best friend, to Port Angeles later seeing as they hadn't 'spent time in forever.' This seemed unlikely to Edward seeing as Lucy, the said best friend, was just over the previous night, last he saw, and was about to play poker with Emmett before Jasper 'dragged' her away before she realized how Emmett played; seeing as Emmett was horrible at poker and jasper didn't want Lucy to be scared for life.
Speaking of Jasper, his 'brother', Edward was just walking by the long hallway that led to his room when he happened to catch fragments of jaspers thoughts. It wasn't like Edward pried purposefully, despite Lucy's nagging on him to do so, and he was positive Jasper didn't want Edward hearing these thoughts. They weren't crude, by no means; they were a touch to sentimental though for the Confederate Major. His brother was more reserved when it came to announcing his feelings, and Edward was sure that he wouldn't even give Lucy a hint at what he had heard.
Especially not the thoughts Jasper began to have when he looked back on the day they first met. When Edward heard this, he assumed it was after the James incident, but no it was back when the Cullen family had first began High School in Forks, when poor little Lucy bumped into Jasper and was practically poking the lion with a stick.
And Edward, being Edward, couldn't help but let his curiosity get the best of him as he sat down on his sofa and tuned in on Jaspers thoughts.
Jaspers thoughts:
It feels as if it was just a second ago that my family and I were starting at another school. The day had started just like all the other days a high school in the past years, nothing seemed different. Except it was completely different than any other day at school. It was the first time that I had ever looked at her. It's strange to think how back then Lucy was just some tiny and nervous, I would know, fourteen year old. Obviously, back then it wasn't her or her personality that had peaked my curiosity; it was her scent.
Sure, I had smelled a peach-like smell on someone and a cinnamon-like smell before, maybe even together just like Lucy's, but something about it stood apart from the rest of the scents that mingled together. But, hers didn't mingle with the others; it was like hers was more potent. I knew she wasn't my singer, if she was she wouldn't even have stood a chance at living another second, but she wasn't just an average person, or at least to me she wasn't.
It was unlike with Bella, who's sent was already very strong, it was even stronger than Lucy's, but it didn't stand out. And of course I had done everything possible to stay away from her, which was hard seeing how clumsy she is and how she was constantly tripping near me or running directly into me. I had even acted spiteful to her, and in a way I was, I was always glaring at her; even though it wasn't her fault her scent seemed to just stand out from the rest.
Alice had seen this happening, just as she had seen Bella, and had told me three years ago that we wouldn't be moving, just as she had done this year with Edward.
Then three years later, I was in a relationship with her. She became more than just a scent, she became my Lucy. She is someone who didn't make this life seem as unbearable, even if there was no sure answer that she would even become one of us, or want to. I don't care though, because just one second with her seemed to make up for each lengthy and at some times unbearable life. She made everything seem batter than it was; she made the idea of happily ever after seem more achievable.
It was like I was staring at everything that I had never known I wanted, I hadn't wanted the prospect of love after everything that happened with Maria, but with Lucy I sought after it. I had never looked twice at any human before, but with Lucy I couldn't stop being mesmerized with her, much to the criticism of Rosalie, who even though she denies it is warming up to her.
But, who knows what could come out of this relationship? It could go in so many directions so easily, one where she ends up with me forever, one where she ends up with another, and one where she ends up dead. It made me think; maybe I would be better off ending things with Lucy. But, I don't think I would be selfless enough to let go of the one I lo-
…Edward are you listening in on my thoughts?
Jaspers thoughts over.
Edward tensed up from his position on his sofa. He had momentarily forgotten all about Jaspers empathy ability. Edward hoped that Jasper wouldn't catch him in what he was doing, but he doubted it seeing as Jasper was still talking to Edward using his mind.
'Just don't tell Lucy, or I'll tell Bella that-'
"Okay! I won't!" Edward yelled out loud, forgetting that the rest of his family had no idea about this.
"Edward are you okay?" Esme hesitantly called up to him with
concern lacing her words, slightly afraid that her son was going crazy.
"Yeah Esme, I'm fine… I was just acting, out loud, for… A play!" Edward said stumbling over his words, choosing them carefully.
"Alright son, as long as you are alright." Carlisle said in a normal tone, as if Edward was in the same room as him; he might as well be, seeing how their kinds hearing worked.
Edward sighed gratefully, even though he knew his 'parents' didn't believe him for a moment, at least they dropped it.
o.o.o
It was later that night and Edward was just pulling up in Port Angeles, in his favorite car; a sliver Volvo. Alice had called him saying that Bella wasn't feeling well and needed to go home; Edward knew that was just an excuse so that Bella didn't have to continue shopping with Alice and Lucy, they had already been shopping for three hours. Lucy may be a human, but she shopped with a vampire's stamina. He got out of the car and expected to see his girlfriend to greet him, not Lucy.
"Hey Eddie," Lucy said nonchalantly, using the nickname that Edward despised.
"Hello Lulu," Edward said just as casually back to her.
The average heighted girl glared at Edward, much to his amusement.
"Where is Bella?" Edward asked Lucy looking around, as if Bella would be hiding behind one of the many cars in the parking lot.
"Alice saw a top that she wanted Bella to try on; even though she already saw Bella in it and already bought it an hour ago." Lucy told him laughing slightly. Edward joined her in laughing, until he abruptly stopped; hearing Lucy's thoughts. Who was so deeply lost in them he didn't notice Edwards's insistent stare.
Lucy's thoughts:
Oh gosh, why can't I have a loving and caring boyfriend like Bella does? Sure I have a really amazing vampire best guy friend who occasionally and very frequently acts like my boyfriend, but he isn't. He probably doesn't even think of me in a more-than-friends light, I'm probably just a pesky human to him! At least Bella knows what type of relationship she has with Edward; I don't even have a clue.
Oh god Edward is staring at me… What do I do?! Stop thinking, abort! Abort!
Lucy thoughts over.
Edward, who was still unknowingly staring at Lucy, a very obviously panicked Lucy, and he was contemplating telling her what he knew. Could he do that to Jasper and betray his trust?
"Edward what do you know?" Lucy inquired accusingly, pointing her finger at him.
"Uh…"
A determined look flashed across Lucy's face, "If you tell me what you know, I'll give you my deck of cards with red dots on them!"
"Deal."
