Dear Bella,
I miss you so very much. How are you? How is Alice? You should see Japer, he's always been quite but now he hardly ever speaks. I suppose I'm not one to talk seeing as I do the same thing.
The weather here is excruciating. Today its around ninety-five degrees. I can't wait to get back to rainy Seattle.
The people here have are amazing. First there's Emmett McCarthy (who is currently trying to find out who I'm writing to.) I shot a glare at Emmett who thought he was being sneaky by looking over my shoulder. At my threaten mood he just winked and walked out of the room. He is probably the biggest man you have ever met in your life. He's always joking which is much needed especially, to fight against Jasper and I sullen moods. Then of course there's Rosalie Hale who you wouldn't think would ever be in the army. She looks much more like a super mode but she's one though cookie. I smiled at Rosalie who punched Emmett in the shoulder glaring at him. They hadn't admitted it yet but I was sure they both had a thing for each other. There were so many interesting people here it would be hard to pick just a few to tell her about without her getting bored. One of the guys here named John had lived on the streets since he was sixteen, he still stayed in school though and went to college to get his business degree. There are a couple other guys here that had to leave there wives and children home as well. Its nice to have other people besides Jasper to understand what you're going through. I was running out of things to say to her about me. I would much rather talk about her anyway.
I have so many questions about you but I don't want to overwhelm you in one letter so I'll try with the basics. How's work? What's you're least favorite food? What did you want to be when you were a child? What's your favorite book? It's probably really silly but I have this insatiable need to know everything about you. You're just so…so… amazing is the best way I can put words to it. I know this is relatively short but I feel the sooner I send this the sooner I'll hear back from you.
All my heart,
Edward
P.S. Please tell me you're being safe. Make sure you walk slowly down the stairs, even though I don't know if that will help anything. Make sure you have mace on you at all times. I made you a promise that I would return to you safe but gosh darn it Bella you should keep the same promise. I won't be very happy with you if you have suffered major injures. I would say no injuries but frankly I think that might be impossible.
I sighed I missed her so much. I felt like such a coward I wanted to tell her how deeply I was in love with her but I couldn't for two reasons. One what if she didn't love me back? Then I would have successfully managed to scare her off. And two, I couldn't tell her in a letter, it was just wrong. I thought I had made it pretty clear that I loved her but Bella seemed to be exceptionally observant on anything except when it came to herself. A memory popped into my head making me frown. Once when I told Bella how beautiful she was she had the audacity to disagree with me. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on and she thought she was just mediocre. Ha. The thought was absurd.
"Oh, so her name's Bella." I jumped in shock at the sudden presence right next to me. Although I'm sure it wasn't sudden, I don't think Emmett could be sudden, I was just too lost in my thoughts about Bella to realize.
"You found me out, her name is Bella."
"So tell me about her. What is she to you? What's she like? What does she do? How old is she? How'd you meet? I guess what she is to you might answer that question but still, Where did you-."
"Emmett slow down a minute, I'll tell you just breathe."
"Sorry." He muttered slightly embarrassed.
"Bella's my girlfriend." Girlfriend the word felt so wrong on my tongue, the connection we shard was way more. "God, Emmett it's so hard to put into words but I'd have to say she's the most amazing, perfect, fantastic woman I've ever met in my life." I could already feel the smile tugging at my lips just thinking about her. "She's ridiculously observant and so intelligent she's not just trying to have a physical relationship. She's a nurse. She's 23, a year younger than me. You know Jasper's my brother, well his fiancé Alice works with Bella and they're best friends. Both of us refused to go on a blind date so the sneaky little devils that they were both promised to take us to a movie but we ended up dumped at a restaurant while Alice and Jasper stole one of the cars so no matter what we would have to spend some time together. Not that I minded when I saw her. It wasn't love a first sight. No, I fell in love with her about five minutes later. But of course I didn't realize it until a bit later."
"Are those pictures of her that you're always looking at?"
"Yeah."
"Can I see some?" I toyed with the idea of not letting him just in case he saw her and fell in love with her just like I did. Finally I gave in though, I kind of thought he had a crush on Rose. Not that he would ever admit it. I flipped through the pictures on my camera finding one of my favorite ones of her at the restaurant when Alice had dressed her up.
"Wheee," he whistled. "She's sure perty!"
"Yep, she sure is."

Like every day since Edward left, I sprinted to the mail box wishing that I would get a letter from Edward. I was ecstatic to finally have my wish granted.
Tearing off the envelope with in a matter of minutes. I had to read the letter four times before I could even think about what I would respond. This was proof that he was still okay. Edward was okay. All day and all night I would get mental pictures of what could be happening to him. Ever since he left I've felt incomplete and I was so utterly depressed. My heart constantly ached at the thought that I might never see him again. That I might never hold him again.
The nightmares were the worst though. They were always so graphic. I subconsciously gripped the letter tighter and tighter to my chest as thoughts of my past dreams passed through my head. I had to write him back as fast as I could because the sooner I wrote the sooner he would write back.
Dear Edward,
I miss you to. More than words can describe. I am as good as I can be without you. Alice is the same way as how you described Jasper. She's just like how I feel. Emmett sounds fabulous although I'm wondering if I should be afraid of this Rosalie girl. It's crazy I feel exactly the same way as you about asking questions. As silly as it sounds I feel like I could spend forever asking you questions. I'll answer you're questions but of course I have a few of my own. What was your childhood like? Do you believe in fate? And the ultimate question, What's you're favorite kind of skittles? I spent the rest of the time answering his questions and prattling on about my life. I was about to say good bye when I couldn't help asking a one more questions. Edward, this will work won't it? I don't think I can stand to think that it won't work. And one last threat couldn't help but find its way on to the letter. And Edward Anthony Masen Cullen you better keep your promise. Do you understand me; you will come back to me.
Yours truly,
Bella
P.S. I've been perfectly fine Edward. I've only fallen down a few times. Okay maybe more then a few, but still I haven't suffered major injuries.

I sighed. I had a terrible dream last night. I dreamt that Alice was going to work and got rapped. Sadly, I wasn't surprised it wasn't the first time I had this dream or a dream just like it. I was so worried about her. She was so fragile. And I'm pretty sure I couldn't live without her. Edward was here, but without her I just felt lonely. In place of my heart it just felt like one giant hole. Emmett tried to improve my mood. And even though I knew that it wouldn't work I was glad that he tried. Edward was the same way, he had told me he loved her but since I hadn't seen them together ever, this is the first time that I actually seen the love that me and Alice had. Alice. A bit more pain was added to my already throbbing heart. No one else should have to feel pain like this. I couldn't hold back writing to Alice. It was the only thing that dulled my pain for awhile. Before I could write her though, a very distraught Emmett walked into the room. He looked so hurt I couldn't help but walk over to him. Emmett was never this sad.
"Emmett?"
"What?" came a gruff reply.
"Dude, what happened?" He gave me a long questioning look.
"Why do you care?" His voice was now laced with venom. I was very worried. I had never seen Emmett like this.
"Because you're the only one that tries to brighten up Me and Edward's depression now it's my turn to return the favor." He sighed. I took that as his resignation.
"Its Rose. She's- and- it's just that- um-"
"Emmett just spit out."
"Well, I really like Rose. She perfect. Everything I could ever want in a girl. And I really like her. You know how you and Edward talk about Alice and Bella. Well that's how I feel about Rose. And I told her that but she-she's- engaged. To someone else back home." His desperate stare found its way to my sympathetic one. I couldn't and didn't even want to think about how I would feel if this happened to Alice and me.
"Jasper, I've never felt this way about anyone, I just can't lose her." I gave him my best reassuring smile.
"I'm sure it will work out. Don't worry. If you really do love her, it'll all work out eventually." A small smile appeared on his face.
"I hope so." The conversation must have made an impact. He wasn't the same upbeat Emmett but he wasn't just moping around. Geez...At this rate all of the guys would be sad and mopy.
Thanks to all my reviewers and Amanda. I have a mini plot of Rose and Emmett and Jasper and Alice (If Amanda and I can agree!) But don't worry the main focus WILL BE on Bella and Edward.
