AN: I wrote this letter to a very good friend of mine who got killed by a drunk driver 5 years ago at the end of may. I wrote this to him, 3 days after finding out about the accident, and yesterday while i was cleaning out my closet, i found this, and i thought i would share it with everyone. I switched the names, and made it to fit in the Twilight catagory. Sorry to everyone who thought that this was a story, but it's not, it's just a letter. I'm also dedicating this letter to Stephanie, who we all know, that May 8th of this year was killed by a drunk driver. Driving driving is wrong folks, so please don't drink and drive, you never know what can happen next.
I'm also dedicating this to anyone who has lost a loved one from drunk driving, or has been in a drunk driving accident, that has been able to tell their story. 3

Edward,
Hey sweetie, I'm sorry that this letter is long overdue, I've had a lot on my mind. I hope you don't mind, though you never did. You know me, you always told me school was the first thing that I should worry about before writing you back! I just want to let you know, that I walked by your locker today, and I knew that you could see the smile it brought on my face. People told me that I haven't smiled like that before you left. I just told them I know that you're here watching me, and that you probably saw that big grin on my face, like I always had when I was around you. Honey, I also know that you're keeping me safe every time I walk out that front door, because I haven't tripped since you left. I know that you hate when I cry, but I wish I could just see you, and just hug you one last time. I remember the last thing you told me, and I will never forget it. You told me that you love me, and that you see me that Monday after kissing my forehead. I never thought in a million years that Friday would be the last day I see you for a real long time. When I heard the sirens, I didn't think it would be about you. Even when I heard the helicopter go by, I never thought it would be for you. When my father told me to sit down on the couch, because he needed to tell me something, I never though it would be about you. Then when he told me that you were killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, I thought it definitely couldn't be you. But it was, as soon as my dad came home, and told me that it was true, that you were killed, and that the sirens, and the helicopter that I heard was for you. He told me that the doctor's did everything they could to save you, but they couldn't, and that you already let go. I remember when I went to your calling hours; maybe you saw that I was wearing your favorite outfit, my orange tee shirt, and my flare jeans. Did you see that I put my hair up the way you liked it, I hope you did it took me an hour to do it, lol. Anyways, I'm going to make this letter short, like I always do. I just wanted to say that I love and miss you, and that I will never forget the memories we had together. Just remember the promise we made to each other, if one of us goes first we'll wait for each other, I just hope that your waiting for me to get there. I promise I'll be in arms again someday. Love you always and forever…
Love you, Bella
