Alice is on her way over. She just called- I ignored her first 5 calls, but she was persistent. My sister-she just doesn't know when to give up. She just won't except that her brother is a lost cause. Which I am, even I know it-but she just won't leave it alone. She thinks she knows everything, and she usually does, but I've managed to hold onto a few secrets of my own.

Every few weeks Alice comes over all excited over a blind date she intends to set me up on. She's always optimistic that she's found me a match-I know otherwise. This is just one of those secrets I've kept to myself. Alice believes that I've never had a girlfriend, which is true, but I've met my soul-mate. Bella Swan-I've loved her since I was 16 years old. Alice knows Bella too, but she doesn't know Bella like I know Bella. Well actually knew Bella. I haven't spoken to her in almost 7 years. Pathetic I know- but there was nothing I could do.

Bella's parents were friends with my parents, Elizabeth and Edward Mason-that's how I met Bella. One summer Bella and her parents came to New York to visit. She is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. We clicked instantly. It was the greatest week of my life. Alice had been away for the summer, but came home just before the Swans left.

Bella was different from all the other girls. She saw past my looks-and saw me. High school was a nightmare. The guys wanted to be me-the girls threw themselves at me and they both hated me. High school is hard-when it isn't intellectually stimulating and the girls didn't hold my attention. Bella certainly stimulated me.

The week Bella visited was amazing. She wasn't intimidated by me and most importantly she didn't throw herself at me. Bella was almost 16 years old and entering her sophomore year-I had just turned 16, but was already entering my senior year. She thought it was amazing-most people my age thought I was full of myself-but not Bella. She is my equal and it kills me that I have no way to get in touch with her.

The week she came to visit-we just connected. Our parents left us alone almost their entire visit-so we didn't even have to sneak around. Before they arrived my parents pleaded with me to give Bella a chance and keep her company-like I had to be forced.

Alice likes to pride herself on "seeing" the future-having feelings-but what she doesn't know is I have the same kind of "gift", if you will. I can read people. People can be so transparent-at times I could read Bella like a book-other times…I hadn't a clue what she was thinking. It was refreshing.

So, Bella and I kept each other company. I took her on a tour of New York City. Her favorite place was the library. She took me to the zoo-claiming I needed to have some good old fashioned kid fun. I took her to Broadway-I surprised both of us and took her to Mama Mia. Proving to her that I could do something just too laugh-plus, I have a secret love of Abba.

Bella and I were left alone one night and couldn't seem to keep our hands off one another. It was the day she took me to the zoo. I was already in love with her and told her so. I knew we hadn't known each other more than 4 days, but sometimes love is simple. She didn't even hesitate she loved me too.

We were both virgins and it was perfect. The first time may have been short-but I more than made up for it the remainder of her trip. It was amazing. We never
told a soul, it was just our memory.

When Bella's time with me was up-it was hard-but we were so optimistic. We talked everyday. Wrote each other letters, emails, chatted on AIM. We would send each other books the other one read if we thought the other would like it. She has quiet the taste in books.

We continued to remain loyal to one another. Occasionally I talked her into phone sex-but Bella preferred naughty texts. To each is own.

Again, another little secret only Bella and I know about is her visit to NYC by herself. It her senior year during spring break and rather than wasting it in Cancun, Bella visited colleges. Well one college in particular- NYU. I was attending Columbia-convenient. Another blissful week alone with Bella. I played the dutiful boyfriend and took her all around the school she had been planning on attending for the past 2 years already. She told her parents the school set her up with a current student to stay with, but just stayed in my apartment I had in the city. My parents still lived in the city, and I lived on campus for one year-but that was enough. I got my own place. Alice was also planning on attending Columbia-but was conveniently away for spring break.

I spent the week worshiping Bella. That was the last time I saw her. I last spoke to her the summer before she was leaving for college.

Two weeks before she was planning to move to the city into her dorm, she was in a car accident.

In my sock drawer, I've always kept a picture of Bella. Over the years the picture has changed, currently it's her high school photo she sent me. I also have a box of mementos I've accumulated since meeting her. Pictures of us together from her visits, movie stubs, the playbill, letters, cards, anything that reminded me of her. A day doesn't go by that I don't look at her picture. There isn't a day that goes by that I try to figure out some way to find her. In my box, I even have the obituary I found online.

On Saturday night Police Chief Charles Swan, his wife Renée and his daughter Isabella were in a car collision. Isabella Swan was driving the car, when a drunk driver hit them. The Swans car was shoved off the road, causing them to crash into a telephone poll. Chief Swan and his wife were both killed instantly in the accident, as well as the drunk driver, Joe Dunloy. Isabella was rushed to Northwest Hospital, were she was treated for head injuries, broken ribs, and a broken arm.

Details regarding the memorial service will be released at a later date.

The worst part was finding out the way I did. Bella hadn't been answering her phone-it had been days since we last spoke. I began to get nervous, so I casually brought up her family to my mother.

"Hey mom, I've been wondering. How are your friends from Washington doing. I haven't heard you mention them lately?" I tried to sound casual and indifferent, but I think she saw threw me once she gave me my answer.

"Oh honey, I can't believe it. You must be able to read my mind. I've been thinking about them constantly. Sweetheart, Renee and Charlie were killed in a car accident two days ago." My mother began breaking down. Just then, I realized she'd been depressed lately, but I haven't noticed it, because I've been too worried about Bella not answering her cell.

I hugged my mother and made an excuse and retreated to my room.

She never answered the phone…or my letters, or my texts. I tried everything, but I couldn't get in touch with her. One more secret I've been holding in, I even flew out to Washington. I found her address on my mother's desk and set off the find her.

The house was empty and there was a For Sale sign on the front yard. I walked around town in a daze. I stopped in a diner and managed to ask a few people if they know where Bella ended up after her parents died. She went to live with her grandmother, Marie Swan. Bella had told me about her, but never were she lived. I called every single Marie Swan-that gave numbers-there were still two unlisted. I never found my Bella.

That didn't mean I never gave up trying, I was constantly searching. I even made a damn Facebook, in hopes of finding her.

And so I will "date" Alice's matches while I search for Bella. Alice loves to set me up with girlfriend prospects, occasionally I met one that wasn't entirely vapid and would date casually until they wanted more. How could I possibly date anyone when I was constantly thinking of Bella? I wanted to remain virtuous to Bella, but as the years passed it became harder and harder. I rationalized it but saying I would forgive Bella if she hadn't been able to either.

The buzzer sounded alerting me that Alice was here. I shoved my sock drawer closed and buzzed her in.

She managed to flash up the stairs in no time.

"Edwwwarrrdd," she sang my name, while I rubbed my temples. "I've just met the most perfect…" I cut her off. I couldn't hear another word. Unless she found my Bella, I didn't want to hear it.

"What's her name Alice?" I asked her the same question every time. Alice thinking I've been reading into names or some shit. If she only knew. Perhaps it was time to send Alice out on finding my Bella. If I knew her and I certainly did, she would ask every single women her name in her quest to find Bella. That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea-but in doing that it would require me to divulge too much information.

"Rosalie, nowbeforeyousayanythingjusthearmeout. She's beautifulandsmartand…" she was talking too fast that I could barely understand a word.

"Alice, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. I'm really busy with the company right now."

"Don't you try to pull that crap with me Edward. It's a family company remember, therefore I know how busy or NOT busy you are at the moment." Damn it. "Just give her a chance, I think you'll like her. If you don't give her or any of them a chance how are you going to find someone to be with?"

"Fine, but I refuse to go on anymore until you start going on some dates."

Review please.
