Thanks to all my wonderful readers I will be able to update more regularly now until this story is finished. I had a flood of work come in and I barely found time to eat let alone write. I am so sorry.

In this Place

Dear Edward

I had a hectic day at work today. Everything went wrong and I spent most of my day in meetings trying to sort things out. We are so behind in a couple of huge projects and well things just came to a head today. I still love my job as an architect I just wish sometimes I wasn't a partner in the firm. Management means that you are the one firing people and yelling. I hate that part of my job. Aro is a fantastic boss but I really hate Casius and today he made me take the blame for things that were his fault.

When I got home at 10 it was to an empty dark house and a burger from the McDonalds drive through on the way home.

I just sat on the floor next to the front door and cried. I miss coming home and being able to talk about our days. I loved that part of the evening sitting curled up on your lap with a glass wine and going through the events of our days. I miss you so much sometimes it's a physical ache.

You would have made everything seem better and my concerns about work seem a million miles away.

You always were good at comforting me.

I remember back in high school about three weeks after we started going out. It was a standard cold and rainy Forks day. You picked me up for school for the first time that day.

I had an awful day at school. Jessica Stanley called me a whore for sleeping with you when you were dating her. I know she was just trying to rile and that it was all lies but it still hurt. You had a football meeting at lunch so I had to endure her taunts all on my own. I sat and cried over my egg salad sandwich.

In gym a got hit on the head by a well aimed ball from Jessica and passed out. I woke up in the nurse's office so embarrassed. They had called my dad to come and fetch me. I felt like a little kid and the freak of the school. I really didn't know why the ultimate jock was dating me and I managed to convince myself you were doing it just so you could make a fool out of me in front of the school later.

Two hours later you were sitting on my porch swing holding me and whispering comforting words. Sitting there I felt for the first time how you could make the rest of the world disappear. The moment was just about us and how much we cared for each other. I knew then that you would always protect me.

Dear Bella

You and I were high school sweethearts. It's so clichéd I know but I fell in love with the first woman I really dated and I married you.

Our siblings weren't quite that easy. Rosalie and Emmett dated but then broke up before collage and attended schools at opposite ends of the country. Six years later they met up again at a party for a mutual friend in New York. They were married less than a year later and they now have three year old twins and Rosalie is expecting again. I remember how it killed you organising her baby shower. You had to pretend to be happy for your friend even though your heart was breaking inside. The night after her shower you lay in my arms crying the whole night. By then we had been trying for five years.

Alice and Jasper continued dating after high school but she found him one night with another woman in their bad. She moved into the dorms and wouldn't talk to him for years. She moved to Italy to get away from him and all the hurt he had caused her. Two years ago he went to Italy and explained everything. He was scared about how fast things were moving and he got drunk and cheated. I know it doesn't excuse what he did but after a few months of seeing each other every day she took him back. They married last year about three months before we split up. Her baby is due in six weeks. She was your best friend but know you haven't spoken to her in months. I wish I could patch things between you. Jasper tells me how much she misses you and needs you now.

I know I am evil for saying this but I wish you could just accept how things happened in your life and move on. I accepted it but you couldn't and by that you aren't talking to Alice I gather you still can't.

Leave some reviews and I will try get another chapter up today.
