Letters

Chapter II

Bella's POV

"I still can't get over how girly your room is babe. I mean, your just so...not girly, well I mean you are but not all the time. You know, come to think of it, you're never just one thing. Ever. You are always doing something that I would never expect you to do." Jake said while snapping another picture of me.

"Actually, I take that back. I always expect the unexpected when I'm around you. Move your hand a little to the left." I turned and gave him an annoyed look which, surprise surprise he took a picture of.

"I need my hand right where it is thank you." I said while continuing to type my research paper. "And my room is perfect for me. Pink, majestic and adorable in every way."

"Hey now, that wasn't criticism, just me thinking out load. You have to admit though, that no one after meeting you and hanging out with you would ever expect a room like this except maybe, four times a year when your feeling super girly." He said while moving to lay beside me on my bed. "Say cheese."

I tilted my head toward him and smiled. "Remind me again why I let you take so many pictures of me." I said as I shut my laptop, and rolled over onto my back.

"Because you don't want to kill my dreams?" He asked.

Jake, a.k.a my father's best friend's seventeen year old son, has this idea of a photo book about "The Abnormal Teenager". The abnormal teenager is me.

"I'm sorry but I still think it's kind of creepy that you want to take my picture all the time. I mean, you take pictures of me when I go to my punk-rock aerobics class!" I said. "When I go there, I'm in my short-shorts, leg-warmers, sweat bands, and your t-shirts!"

"Yeah, I might keep those for myself...you're beautiful." Wow. That was a little creepy...and sweet?

"I'm fifteen Jake, not to mention my father would kill you. Like, murder you. You know, click, BAM,' ahhhhh I'm dying!'" I said while dramatically clutching my chest and pretending to die. Complete with my tongue flopping out of my mouth.

"Yeah I know, I'm jk'ing. Well not about you being beautiful, but you get it."

"Yeppers." I said. At that moment my mother Renee walked in.

"Jacob, I think it's time that you take your leave." She said with a stern look on her slightly aged face.

Jake and I shared the same 'What the hell?' look, but he got up, hugged me, said 'bye' to my mom and left the room.

"You know, I don't know why you let that boy take pictures of you. Who knows what he's doing with them!"

"You know, I don't know why you have to be such a female dog to him all the time." I snapped. I'd get back handed if I would have actually called her a bitch.

She glared and said, "I will not have you talk to me like that! I only came in here to tell you that you have a letter." She tossed the letter onto my nightstand and turned on her heel and walked out of my room.

"You could have shut my door! Bitch." I said the last part under my breath. After I got up and shut my door, I climbed onto my bed and reached over to grab the letter. I wonder who it's from?

When I ripped the seal and pulled out the letter, I saw that it was on official United States Military stationary.

Is this a reply letter from the one I sent a couple weeks ago? THEY ACTUALLY REPLY TO THEM!? I started to read.

Dear Bella,

The first thing I have to say is wow. Your letter was nothing like the ones I usually receive. The second thing I have to say is that I'm sorry you have to live in a place like that, but if it helps, I think that those gum-popping skanks are everywhere.

So, I really don't know what else to say other then your letter was hilarious and, that no, I don't wear panties. -Giggle.

I guess I'll tell you about me. My name is Edward Cullen and I'm 21 years old. I grew up in Chicago with my two siblings Alice and Emmet. I'm the middle child. I've been in the army now for a year and it's not fun. -Never thought it was. But, I've been told that I will be heading home in two year, so I'm hoping that won't fall through.

I don't really have much to say about myself so, if you don't mind, I'd like ask some questions about you. -I don't mind.

1)If you don't like where you live then why are you there?

2)Who are you other friends and how do you get to see them?

3)What do you like to do in your spare time?

4)How did you come up with that genius line about "cockless insects"? -Holy shit, I forgot I wrote that!

5)What about Angela made you be her friends if she's just like the others? -Good question army man.

Well, that's all I can think of to ask right now but, I really hope you answer this letter.

Hope to hear from you,

Edward Cullen.

Oh, dear sir, I will most definitely answer your letter.

Oh my god guys! I am speechless at the response you guys are having, I am so happy! Although I'm happy, I do want to apologize for the late update. I've been so busy lately that I didn't have time to update. Also, I want to say sorry for Bella. I was trying to channel what I was like when I was fifteen and I was a really lippy and sarcastic bitch so, I'm going to modify her a little in the future. So that's all...sort of. Gosh, I just can't believe how cool you all are! I could squeal! Anyway, review please!
