A/N: Oh gosh, I feel terrible! I haven't written anything in what feels like forever. Hopefully I can make it up, but I'm not sure. Lately I've been losing interest in the Twilight fandom. I'll do my best to go through with this fic and Letters To Alice to the end, though.

The next day, I told Alice about the other vampires Emmett and I had found had been in Port Angeles the previous night. She didn't seem to think there was anything odd about it though, to my disappointment.

"There are always vampires passing through Port Angeles, Edward. It's not that big of a coincidence that they happened to be there the same night as Bella and Angela were."

I gave up trying to convince her we needed to look into the situation and make sure they were out of the area. I retreated to my room and paced, thinking.

I didn't want to outright say to Alice that I was genuinely worried about other vampire's reaction to Bella's scent. That would just give her the satisfaction of being right- again. She had complete faith in the visions she'd had of Bella. Even I was starting to believe them.

I frowned and stopped pacing, frustrated. Bella wouldn't want to love, let alone be friends with, someone like me! We're vampires! Of course, we weren't about to tell her that, but she would find out eventually if we became friends…or more. I pushed the thought of Alice's vision of Bella becoming one of us to the back of my mind.

Monday morning, Edward, Alice, and the other Cullens were back. Alice and I caught up with each other and sat with Angela at lunch.

"How was your weekend?" Alice inquired.

"Nice. How was your very long weekend?" she laughed.

"It was very…interesting. I'm glad to be home though. "

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mike Newton sidling over. Suddenly nervous, as both Angela and I knew what he was coming over for, I stepped on her foot under the table, causing her to jump a little.

"What-", she caught sight of Mike and a look of understanding crossed her face. Before either of us could think of something to do, Alice smiled at someone behind us and waved them over. Angela and I turned.

Edward walked to our table at a leisurely pace, pulling out the chair next to Alice quietly. He grinned at us. My breath caught and I quickly looked down at my tray to hide the blush spreading across my face. What's wrong with me? I can't even look at him without turning red!

"Hello." His voice was perfection. I gawked at him for a moment.

"Hi." I finally said, quietly. Angela smiled politely at him and then turned back to Alice, resuming their conversation.

As a cast my gaze around the cafeteria for a moment, trying to think of something to say to Edward, I saw Mike sit down with a few of his friends at a table halfway across the room, looking a bit dejected.

Edward. I sighed and looked over at Alice, showing that was paying attention. She sat a table with Bella and Angela.

Come here and sit with us. I pursed my lips and shook my head a tiny amount, looking away.

Trust me! Just do it, Edward. Rolling my eyes, I got up from the table I shared with Rose, Emmett, and Jasper. Walking over to their table, I saw Mike Newton standing near and table full of his friends, looking undecidedly in Bella's general direction. I was curious. Focusing on his thoughts, an image flashed through his mind, of him and Bella dancing. Him and Bella holding hands. Him and Bella kissing…

I shuddered and struggled to keep my composure. My hands shaking, I walked right past him. He didn't take any notice of me, seeming to gather his courage.

Before he could move more than a few steps, however, I reached the table and pulled out a chair, sitting.

Satisfied, Alice resumed her conversation, claiming Angela's attention. I pushed aside my suspicion. Bella suddenly blushed pink, looking down. Stopping my breath, which was quickly becoming a habit, I almost sighed in frustration. I tried to listen to Bella's thoughts once again, without success.

"Hello." I said, realizing late that I sounded too formal.

"Hi." Bella's soft voice wavered. I sat awkwardly for a second, unsure of what to do. She bit her lip and looked down, picking at her uneaten tray of food.

"How was your weekend?" I blurted out, desperate for something to talk to her about.

"It was alright. I went to Port Angeles...which I guess you know already." She smiled slightly. I stiffened as I thought about that night. Pushing the idea away and trying not to wonder about the other vampires, I managed to smile too.

"How was yours?" I glanced back up at Bella. She looked interested, and something in her expression made me uneasy. I looked back down and said,

"It was alright, too, I suppose."

"That's good." We lapsed back into silence, and Bella gradually rejoined Alice and Angela's conversation. I cursed my awkwardness. I sat brooding for a few minutes, thinking.

This was the only thing I had no experience in. I was completely new to this sort of thing and these sorts of feelings. I frowned and shook myself. It didn't matter. I would never allow myself to fall in love with Bella.

However, a tiny voice in my head whispered, "But you already are."

A/N: It took forever to get this chapter done! Like I said above, I feel terrible for not updating often, and I'm sorry. I will finish this story though. If anyone has any ideas for the next chapter or two, I would be eternally grateful. Have a good weekend :)
