This takes place during the time of "New Moon", just after Edward leaves Bella and she resorts to writing him letters to cope.

Dear Edward,

I am listening to Eva Cassidy today and her melancholy voice expresses how I feel. "I will be waiting, Time after Time." I am waiting, wondering, and still hoping you will come back.

Angela has been calling me today, wanting me for a sleep-over and to help babysit her little brothers while her parents are out of town. It's such a normal request, simple and straightforward. I've put her off for now. I don't know how to act normal, how to return to life as YOU believe it SHOULD be for me. Is this why you left? So I can have sleep-overs with friends? I am not making fun of Angela, I envy her ease with life and its predictability and value her goodness. She is the last one at school to keep trying with me, everyone else is starting to ignore me completely. They think I don't notice because I'm "half dead" as Jessica was saying behind my back. If they only knew…I am half-dead. How do I feel angry with them for naming exactly how I feel? It is no secret. I am going to pieces without you here.

I don't know what my life was before you. When I met you my life veered a completely new direction and the journeys I traveled before seem remote and far away; it is as if I became alive the moment our eyes met and when you declared yourself to me.

Renee sent me a book about co-dependency this week, thinking it would help me get over you, as if THAT was the issue. How little she really knows.

Interdependency, devotion, true love…are something very different…something we had for a time.

Please be careful, Edward, wherever you are. You are not the only one who can worry.

I will be waiting,

Bella
