Perceptions
Summary: [Drabbles] "However, staring into Edward Cullen's topaz eyes, she didn't think that this time falling would be a problem."
Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight; Stephenine Meyer does. I merely play.
Notes: My manuscript is killing me and I can't deal with Evan and Amanda anymore right now. And Bella Swan is like a pair of comfortable shoes to slip on. If I was ambitious I would say that I plan to write every main character 's perceptions on every other one, as seen in this one. But I have no idea of what I plan to do with my future let alone his story.
ALERT: I, however, am willing to take requests for one-shots and drabbles. Leave me a request and I will fulfill the requirements gladly. Yay, avoidance of work.
Bella
Bella never claimed to be graceful. She was a disaster waiting to happen when it came to getting up out of bed in the morning, and that was the mild version of it. Up until she had moved to Forks (and for a small time after), she had nearly killed herself on various items.
Falling in Isabella Marie Swan's mind equated to certain bruises, blood loss and inevitable pain. It was something that she didn't question. It just was.
However, staring into Edward Cullen's topaz eyes, she didn't think that this time falling would be a problem.
Emmett
The large brute of a vampire always terrified Bella somewhere deep, deep down in the beginning. The day she finally opened up to him was the moment after he catches her the moment she nearly stumbled down the stairs.
His hands were gentle, and he lightly held her, like she was a piece of china that he was terrified to break. She learned that underneath his muscles and loud laughter, Emmett Cullen was a caring, loving individual whose heart she had managed to worm into.
She swore to herself to not break that sacred trust.
Esme
Esme Cullen is easily the most amazing woman Bella has ever met. She connects a family that could easily never even get along like glue. Her sharp gazes quill every the toughest of battles and her smile is infecutous.
Bella sees her look out the window sometimes, remembering something from her hazy human memories. Her child, Bella later realizes.
Bella could creep away or watch, but she is spurred to action. Her arms hesitantly go around the Cullen matriarch, Esme wistfully pats her arms and they stay that way for a long time, watching the sun set.
Rosalie
Bella sees models everyday on television, but Rosalie Hale is one she sees on an almost regular basis. The beautiful vampire intimidates Bella, but not never terrifying.
She hasn't feared Rosalie since she saw the vampire linger over some baby materials in a magazine one afternoon. Her fiercely angry gaze softening to something wishful and tinged with regret.
Bella understands why Rosalie Hale hates her. She is everything the vampire wishes she was, and Bella can't help but wish their places were reversed, so Rosalie could get her second chance at humanity and Bella could have her forever with Edward.
Jasper
Jasper Hale is an enigma to Bella Swan. She is never allowed in his company for long, since his hold on the thirst is tumultuous at best. She hears loving tales from Alice and amusing anecdotes from the others, but she never meets him. Not really.
Bella hates it. She wants to know the silent man who is well read and loves to pull pranks more than Emmett. She wants to know him and be friends with him.
But she isn't so she waits until the day when she has forever, because then she can get to truly meet Jasper.
Alice
Some days Bella has no idea how she and Alice Cullen ever became friends.
When the pixie like girl looks up in her and beams at her, Bella sees why. She adores waking up to phone calls reminding her to wear long sleeves with an upcoming storm, she loves playing the reluctant Barbie, and she loves Alice Cullen.
It's not because she's Edward's sister; it's because Alice is her first true friend, and that bind means the world to Bella. Alice knows, even though she never says a word. It's written in her eyes as Alice smiles.
Carlisle
The day she accidentally blurts out 'Father' instead of Carlisle, Bella blushes deeply before asking his forgiveness. Wide eyed, Carlisle gives it.
When Forever is achieved years down the road, Carlisle tells her it's okay if she doesn't want to call him father. It doesn't hurt him, he says, staunchly not looking her direction.
Bella glances at him under her eyelashes before remarking that she has considered him her father for almost forever. His smile is blinding and the hug is tight as they embrace at the father and daughter they always have been but never acknowledged.
Edward
She never knew she would find her soul mate in Forks. Bella didn't even believe in soul mates until Forks. She also didn't believe in vampire or werewolves but apparently the impossible is possible in the small town in Washington.
But feeling his lips on her, carefully controlled even as they slip further in passion and deeper in love, Bella knows she believes. Love is mysterious, like vampires and Bella doesn't believe that she could ever have these feelings with anyone besides Edward Cullen.
She latches onto the lapels of his jacket, pulling him closer, knowing they have eternity together.
Jacob
Bella watches her friend as he dances around the fire with the rest of the pack, knowing deep down if there were nothing along the lines of werewolves and vampires in the world, she would be by his side.
It would be comfortable, loving and more than she can imagine. But that world isn't the one she lives in. This time around, he is meant for another as much as he denies it. And so is she.
In another lifetime, she would be by his side with his ring on her finger instead of Edward's. And Bella knows it.
Please review. And remember to leave me a request if you wish. I am willing to procrastinate on the last eight chapters of my manuscript as long as I can. Help me in this noble venture!
