I'm like, literally, about to write today's drabble. Sorry for the lateness, I've been writing feverishly to complete, 'Hallucination' and 'Shadow', both of which are now done. I'm also fairly close to finishing 'Slipping Away' now, too, which is sort of exciting. But whatever. Enjoy!

Date: 28th December

Character: Edward

Stimulus: Family.

I went back to visit the family today. I shouldn't have gone.

I'm no Jasper, but I didn't need to be. You could almost taste the animosity in the air. I ruined their Christmas, and they resent that. A lot.

I didn't stay long. I could only take so many of their thoughts, after all. Only Esme and Alice even tried to hide their anger, and both of them failed. And, as I sat there in silence, I finally realised something that I should have a long time ago.

They love Bella, too. Even Jasper, who tried to kill her. Even… even Rosalie loves her, in her strange way. She had undeniably become a part of the family; a daughter to Esme and Carlisle, a best friend to Alice, a little sister to Emmett and Jasper, and… even a sister to Rosalie, albeit an annoying one.

I'd taken Bella away from them, too.

But there again, I'd accepted long ago that I was a selfish bastard.
