No matter how much time passes, I can’t help but remember the beginning of this truly wondrous period in our lives, since Bella’s transformation. But further back than that, was the day I realized this amazing young woman was going to be far more than the “new girl” who couldn’t stop staring at Edward; she wasn’t simply the placid lamb prancing before the lion. No, she was the person, the soul sister I’d been waiting for almost as I’d waited for Jazz. Don’t get me wrong, I love Rose with a fierce and burning devotion that can never be dimmed, we’ve shared a lot of memories and although, in the beginning, she hid her fear behind that icy, dignified façade, she has always been a lone candle in the dark, so to speak. Em knows her best, he is the one she fully bares herself to on all levels. I never knew Rose as a human, with frail, mortal tendencies and imaginings. She was always…just Rose. I had her back, as she had mine. Sisters forever.
But Bella…
I’d been having visions, of course but as always, they were fractured and of such dim quality, unsure and wavering. I’d seen her, that chestnut hair and large, chocolate colored eyes that viewed the world with a bit of resigned weariness. I didn’t know who she was, I just knew she was going to be someone important to me. The first day I saw her in that cafeteria, as she gazed upon my adopted brother’s divine (so gross to think of him that way but I was seeing him through HER eyes at the moment!) face, it hit me with all the force of thunderbolt to the brain. Something in her soul called to something in mine, she was a piece to the puzzle of me that I wasn’t complete without. I knew then and there that Bella Swan, uncertain, a bit introverted and totally lacking in fashion sense Bella Swan was going to be my best friend. She was an adventure waiting to happen. And oh boy, has it been one wild ride with her. One, I’d go on again and again. She has brought so much to us, as family, bound us together in a way we hadn’t been quite before. Bella…has made us each stronger in so many ways, opened our immortal eyes to new ways of thinking. I see so much of her in Nessie, the set of those shoulders, the puckering, thoughtful mien of her brow. I’m so proud of that girl! And! Then again, she IS a bit more fashion forward then her mom, but that’s okay, I haven’t given up on Bella yet.
I mean, we have forever. Right? And I’m nothing if not patient!!
