How was it that one could want something so much? How could she purposely tempt me to bite her? Did she already know my secret? No, she never cared about me before...did she? I used to believe I understood the mind of all my classmates, till I saw Amanda's eyes that day.

Edward's world is turned upside down in one of life's many note-worthy moments. He was ready for the happiness and wonderment, but he didn't expect heart shattering pain to be a part of the equation. Written for Bethaboo and TheEdwardEmmett’s “Make It Count” Contest! All Human.

It's a lot faster than her.

The year was 1934 and the summer was one of the warmest I had the displeasure of experiencing in the little logging town of Forks, Washington. The usual rainy weather that had been my constant companion these last 5 years had been scarce leaving me to the heat that never seemed to go below 90 degrees even once the sun had fallen beyond the horizon. But the stifling heat was nothing compared to formality of my life. My days had been filled with endless tea times, hours upon hours of practicing the pianoforte and horrid dresses that sucked the life right out of me. That year was also the year that I met a them, the family that changed my how I wanted to live my life.

Carlisle worries that Jasper isn’t bonding with the family. When Alice goes on a shopping trip with the girls, Jasper suffers.

This story has Alice/Jasper relationship and Carlisle and Jasper friendship. Hurt/comfort and angst are the main genres for this story.
