This is a پرستار fiction written سے طرف کی Charlotte, a friend of mine. We both went to Eternal Twilight, the convention, and she entered the پرستار fic competition with this story and got into the final. Thought I would post it here xD



We were standing in the clearing, near the reservation. It was spring and one of Forks few sunny days. There wasn’t a بادل in the sky. The rays of light sparkled on the گھاس and the scent of flowers hung thick in the air. Now was the moment, I thought. Far enough from the house so dad wouldn’t here me…

Plucking up my courage I turned and Jake was standing closer than I had expected. My senses were usually so sharp; I could hear a twig falling from miles away. I was sure he could here my دل beating faster. What was wrong with me? Jacob was just a friend, my very best friend, but nevertheless just a friend.

But lately…

I had never noticed before how many different colors his russet فر, سمور had in the sun یا how beautiful his dark eyes were. The way his laughter made my دل glow and his smile made me want to sing. How I felt unsure when he wasn’t سے طرف کی my side and hours felt like days when he had to leave to go on patrol.

He looked up and I saw the quizzical look on his face. As always he was on his guard, worried I wasn’t perfectly alright. Slowly, I put my hand on his face. If I weren’t half vampire I was sure it would be shaking. I felt his hot breath on the palm of my hand and sighed. I saw the surprise on his face as he heard what I was telling him. Not telling but showing. Not words but colors, bright and shiny, everything that was Jacob, his smile, his laugh, تصاویر of us together, running side سے طرف کی side, racing, having fun. Even in years to come I could never forgot that moment of pure bliss. I looked into his eyes, leaned آگے and felt his lips on mine.

"Nessie..?"

"Yes?"

"You’re my gravity… آپ know that?"

I laughed.

Mom had told me how much she loved dad. I had never understood. Now I knew.
