Dearest Esme,
I am so happy to hear that your expecting! How wonderful that is! I can't wait to be a big sister! I hope it's a girl!
Aunt Gloria's baby is due in a few months. Sometimes I put my hand against her tummy and I can feel little kicks! She also getting more fat and her tummy barely fits any of her dresses. Are you getting fat? I can't imagine your tummy big and swollen. You're so small! What if you blow up?
I suppose you should know that I tried to run away a few days ago. Now before you lecture me, Esme, please understand where I'm coming from. I had a master plan! I was so close to coming back to England! But some old hag at the bus station ruin it! She ratted me out to the authorities and I was forced to call Aunt Gloria. Uncle Ernest gave me whippings for days! I think my behind is still red. I know it was irresponsible and I could have gotten in serious trouble. However, I just want to be back in England! With you and Carlisle! I miss the hens and Buttercup. And oh the children! I would have loved to see Edward and Emmett one last time. I'm glad that they're back home and that they're safe now. It is a very traumatizing thing.
Esme, won't you come get me, please? I've tried to like it here but I can't! It's awful and I want to come home! Please!
Sincerely,
Rosalie Hale Cullen
Dear Esme,
Today is my birthday and I'm reminded of my last birthday that I had with you. Mrs. Uley cooked my favorite breakfast (a ton of buttered toast and eggs) and you made me a new dress to wear. Carlisle surprise with me the most beautiful doll and she came with an added tea set. We celebrated that night with cake and food. Renee came over and brought her rabbits. Bella and Alice actually played with me for once. Edward played happy birthday on the piano and Emmett gave me piggyback rides. It was such a happy day! Maybe one of my favorite birthdays I've ever had.
Unfortunately, I hated my birthday this year.
There was no special breakfast cooked just for me or a new dress laid out on my bed. No one bought me a new doll and we barely ate the food I like. I missed the sounds of the piano playing music and Emmett's loud laughter. Alice and Bella weren't here to do my hair and make me look pretty. And there was also no rabbits.
Instead, we sang happy birthday and Aunt Gloria bake a cake. Except it was chocolate and I don't like chocolate. The only present I got was some new shoes and Margaret made me a hair bow. Other than that… it was a boring day and no one really cared about me.
Aunt Gloria told me that daddy was coming home soon. He was going to come to get me and then take me to Chicago. I guess he retired from the military. His shoulder never fully recovered and he needed to seek more medical treatment. There was a doctor in Chicago that promised to help him.
Please don't send me to Chicago. I don't want to go! I would like to get away from Aunt Gloria's family, but I want to come home to England! This is totally unfair!
I hate daddy! And I hate you for making go with him! I should of never listen to you! And now I just had the worst birthday in history!
With no love,
Rosalie
Sweet Esme,
I am so sorry for my last letter. I suppose I was being a little foolish. I've forgiven you and I hope that you will write back!
Aunt Gloria gave birth to a little girl last night and I am proud to announce that they did not name her Virginia! God, it was such an awful name! Instead, we're calling her Ida Mae Norman. I wanted to name her Mabel, but Jacob said it reminded him of maple syrup! What names have you picked out for your child? Maybe you should consider Mabel for a girl or… I really like Evelyn. I didn't give Aunt Gloria that suggestion because I wanted to save it for you!
I started school again and it's been going alright. I'm very smart! The teacher told me that I have a promising future! I could be a doctor! Just like Carlisle!
I'm not sure when daddy coming to get me. He was supposed to come a long time ago but we haven't heard much from him. I hope he's forgotten me and that why I can return to England! Don't you agree?
Sincerely,
Rosalie Hale
Dear Esme Cullen,
Esme! Why won't you answer me! Do you not love me anymore? I did the math and I guess you should be having your little one any day now. Did you replace me with the baby? I wish you would talk to me!
Daddy finally arrived home and he's taking me to Chicago tomorrow. I asked him what took him so long and he admitted that he meant a nice lady friend. And then he told me that this nice lady friend of his was going to be my new mummy…
I kicked him in the groin!
How could he! Replace my mummy with some stranger! I've never felt so betrayed before! The wedding is in a few days! He's been keeping this secret from me for months!
I'm just so confused. Please, Esme, write back to me. I need you.
Yours truly,
Rosalie Lillian
My dearest Esme,
You still have not answered me and I'm slowly losing hope.
Daddy and Nora married two days ago. We've already packed up and moved to Chicago. I had to transfer schools and I don't like the new school. The schoolmaster is a wicked woman and I have to wear this ugly uniform. The teachers aren't as nice and I don't feel so smart anymore.
Nora is a strange woman. She not very motherly and she doesn't pay much attention to me. She sort of ignores the fact that I exist. We rarely talk and I don't know much about her. All I know is that she likes jam on her toast and she hates the rain. She doesn't like to get wet.
I've gotten closer to daddy but I'm still mad at him. He just gives me money to keep me quiet. Last week he bought me a horse and I got a new rabbit. Her name is Snowball and she not as pretty as Buttercup. She also bites and I don't like that very much.
I've begged you for months to bring me home but now I'm giving up hope. You won't even respond to me so I'm forced to believe that you don't love me anymore. Aunt Gloria told me that it's for the better. I don't see how though. My favorites memories were with you and Carlisle. I will never forget the fun times we shared together.
If this is goodbye…. Well, I don't really want to think about it like that. Please just know that I will always love you and I hope someday you will want me back in your life.
Until then…
Thank you for the care you've given me during the most difficult times in my life. You took my mother's place and showed me what true love is. I will never forget that and I will never forget you.
You told me once that you would love me forever and although I'm not sure if that's true anymore… I know for a fact that I will love you forever and ever. That will never change.
I hope we meet again.
Sincerely,
Rosalie L. Hale
Dear Mrs. Cullen,
Okay! It's not funny anymore! Please write back to me! I'm desperate!
Sincerely,
A very dramatic Rosalie
