Chapter 1

Bella POV

I started sending letters to Alice's email. She still has not replied. I don't understand. How could he tell me so many times that he loved me, then pull my heart right out of my chest. I feel like I can't breathe. Jacob helps with the hole in my chest, but its always there. The last letter I sent to Alice, I begged for just a small reply, to help me know they were not a figment of my imagination. Jake of course is a werewolf, and I told Alice that. I tell my self not to get my hopes up. She probably doesn't use that email address anymore. I miss my best friend. After finishing my homework, I went to start dinner. Charlie has been coming home later on Fridays. No wonder, I'm so boring. I decided to make spaghetti. It will keep my hands busy, but it still let my mind wander. As I let the noodles cook, I went up to my room to check my email. Don't get your hopes up, I told my self as I turned my ancient computer boot up. As I went to my in box, there was a new message! Its just mom I thought.

Friday, 1:32

Bella,

I'm not supposed to contact you, but I can't stand it. I miss you too, and I wish so much we hadn't left. I have been so sad. Hanging out with a werewolf! Bella PLEASE. Don't go near them. Please forgive me, Bella.

Alice

OH. MY. GOD.

She messaged me back! I can't believe it! I had to email her back! I quickly typed a letter to her in excitement.

ALICE!

I am so happy! I can't stop crying! I NEED you, Alice. I NEED him. Where are you?! You have to see me! Please! I want to see you Alice! It will help the hole in my chest... Please.

Bella

"Please reply" I said. I went downstairs to check the food. I burnt the noodles. I dumped them in the trash and made some grilled chicken and salad. Not Charlie's favorite, but I didn't have anything else. I need to take a trip to the grocery store. Charlie came home. Ate his food. I was so happy from Alice's email, and Charlie must have noticed. "You seem to be in a good mood." He said that very cautiously. "Mhmm." I hummed. I took the stairs two at a time, up to the bathroom. I took a long shower, trying to calm my nerves. My mind kept going back to her email. I HAVE to see her. I put my pajamas on and skipped to my bedroom. I went to my in box and there was a new message! I clicked the open button and it was from Alice!

Bella,

I can only tell you I am spending some time in Denali. I wish you could see me too. Really. I'm not so sure I can keep emailing you. The only reason I decided to was because you said you were with a werewolf! I wish I could email you, but Edward would kill me. Literally. I have to go, I just saw he was checking in with us tonight. I will always be your best friend, through and through. I will text you later after he leaves, but I can't all the time. I need to talk to you too, otherwise I wouldn't risk this.

Your BFF, Alice

XOXO

I sighed in relief. Shes keeping in touch with me! I grabbed my phone and sat there staring at it for hours. Finally it beeped. I flipped it open with my hands shaking.

Hey. Bella I miss you. I can't keep talking to you in secret though, He will find out soon enough...

I quickly replied.

Alice, he can get over it. I need you right now.

She replied seconds later.

I gtg. I will text you soon.

My heart fell. She told me they were in Denali, Alaska. I grabbed a suitcase packed it, grabbed some money. I left Charlie a note saying I would explain everything when I got home. I walked out the door and hopped in my truck. I'm going to Alaska.
