"Bromance"

I was always lucky enough to be surrounded with big brothers when I was growing up in my human life. I looked up to them; wanted to be just like them. So needless to say I was excited when I was old enough to go and work on the railroad with them. That’s where I met my human best friend Robby, and he and I were inseparable. We definitely developed what someone today would call a “bromance”; just two guys hanging out all the time bonding and shooting the breeze, trying to pick up women at bars all while making sure the other wasn’t too hung over for work the next day. Robby and I were definitely trouble when we were together, to say the least. Things changed the day he met Mary Elizabeth, and I lost my “bromance” to real romance.



Watching Robby and Mary Elizabeth get married was really hard for me to do- I never thought I would see the day where one of us would settle down and get married. I couldn’t believe that he went through with it; “what a fool” I said over and over again. But then my life changed in an instant too… Rose found me after I was attacked by that bear, and I am glad she had the strength to carry me back to Carlisle. I can only imagine how hard that must have been for her, but my wife is one strong woman, I don’t EVER underestimate her.



Once I was changed, I knew that I had found my soul mate in Rosalie. I wanted to be with her always, and she taught me how to survive as what I had become; a vampire. She is the love of my life, and I am a better man because of her. And although our life together was and is pretty much perfect, I was missing the “bromance” in my life. So I was very happy that Carlisle, Edward and I hit it off so well. We all shared a love for America’s favorite pastime- Baseball. We would take go out and take turns hitting the balls seeing who could hit it the furthest. (I usually won, but they will never admit to that) The three of us would go out and hunt together, once again showing our competitive edge all going after the biggest deer or mountain lion. It felt good to have male bonding time again.



Once Alice and Jasper came along, the dynamics of our family at that time finally seemed whole. Jasper joined us on a hunt, and the conversation about war, politics, and sports never seemed to fall short. We all joked and carried on with each other as if we were real brothers, just out on a hunt with their father. Our bond is strong, solid, and when tested, it’s been proven to withstand anything. These men are my brothers, my father. They each have different attributes that make up our family. Our friendship is unbreakable. We have one hell of a “bromance”, and nothing will ever change that. And although I doubt that any of them would call it a "bromance" for fear of embarassment, that's exactly what it is.
