I just have one question…..What's so hard about pressing the review button and typing out what you thought? I promise you it's not the hard. Just think about it this way, if you were writing a story wouldn't you want people to review?

I really wasn't going to review until I got 10 reviews, but since I'm a nice person I decided to update anyways. But I might not be that nice next time. You gotta start reviewing people. (:

I could not believe it. How could she? Why would she do something like that? Didn't our promise mean anything to her?

My dear Edward,

I know you may not want to know this, but I met someone. His name is Jacob and I met him on month before you left. I didn't mean for it to happen, but I started seeing him.

That's what I thought as I read the first paragraph. I was sitting on my cot. Jasper and Emmett were standing close by, wondering what was going on.

I love him and I hope that you can understand that. But there is something else that you should know, he is married still. I don't know why I am around him when he is taken. Adultery isn't something intended on doing and I fell utterly ashamed of myself for doing that.

She should feel sorry for what she is doing. That's horrible, that and the fact that she hasn't bothered to write me until now. 5 months later.

The main reason I am telling you this Edward is because…..

After I read that sentence I broke down. I couldn't read anymore of it. I slammed the paper down and stormed out of my tent. I then broke out into a full on run. I heard Emmett and Jasper's footsteps behind me as they tried to catch up, calling my name every once in a while.

"Edward! Stop! Where are you going?"

I didn't stop until I reached the nearby bank. I grabbed a fistful of my hair and shouted at the wind. As if it was answering me, it blew a big gust of wind in my face and I felt a tear go sideways. I paced up to a tree and punched it with all my might. A chunk of bark flew off and I scratched my knuckles up.

"Edward, what's wrong man?" Emmett said as he caught up to me.

"Why would she do that? She can't be serious I mean, Bella would not do anything like that. Never." I paced back and forth while I said this. At that point jasper came into view and stopped by Emmett who was standing there watching me.

"What are you talking about?"

I wanted to tell them, but I was so enraged that if I opened my mouth I would have cried. I screamed out to the world this time.

There were so many emotions I felt that I didn't know which one to run with. My blood was boiling because I was filled with anger. My heart was aching because the sorrow I felt was heavy. My veins were throbbing from anxiety. And my stomach felt like it was about to explode from depression. Or like it was only filled with it. Either way I was not content.

Bella was supposed to be my true love and I was supposed to be hers. We were supposed be and do everything with each other. I guess that didn't matter anymore considering the circumstances. I guess that when I was telling her all of the things that were coming from my heart, she was mute.

I wanted so bad to see Bella and hold her and kiss her and just be with her, and the other part just wanted to make her feel even worse than I did. But I would never do that to her because I loved her too much. And my mother didn't raise me to treat women with disrespect.

I was still pacing, punching nature and cursing the wind before I broke down and fell to my knees and cried to the earth. I felt a hand on my shoulder and another set of footsteps.

"It will all be okay. You just have to keep your head held high." Jasper was always the peacemaker. Ever since I met him 6 years ago he would always try to make me look at the brighter side of things. But there was no brighter side to this. There just wasn't.

"She is the love of my life. Why did I ever leave her? I never should have come here. Right now I would be with Bella, taking her out to a romantic picnic on the beach. Why did I ever leave?" I cried out.

"You did what you had to do. When we're our age we have to join the army. Signing up has nothing to do with whether or not you would be told to join. You would have been forced." Emmett was right. I only signed up because I knew that if I didn't I would still have to leave her.

"But you don't understand. She-"

"I understand completely. Don't you try and make it seem like you're the only one who had to leave your loved one. You think it's easy for me to be here while Rosalie and Elijah are there without me? I wonder if they are safe every single day of my life and it kills me to know that I'm not there with them, that I had to leave them and not know when I can come back if I do. And what about Jasper? He had to leave Alice who he just married. I know you know because you were the best man at their wedding." I looked at Jasper and he had his arms folded across his chest and was looking at the ground. I looked away.

"So don't you dare say that we don't know what you are going though because we know more than you think. We are the ones who are married. We are the ones who are tortured more and more every day." Emmett was breathing heavily and was clenching his hands. I felt embarrassed and horrible for saying anything.

"I'm sorry guys. I just got too caught up in the fact that I didn't marry Bella. I didn't. I should have. Believe me I am tortured. My biggest fear has come real and I'm scared. I'm scared that eve after everything I will still be in love with her. I told her to move on that's true, but I didn't think it would come so fast, and I didn't think it would affect me so much."

Emmett sighed and came over to me. Clasping a hand on my shoulder he told me, "Just like every other man here. Day by day."

I took my hands in my face and wiped the tears from my eyes and cheeks. I would just have to move on. If I could….

Can she just forget about me?

Does she want to?

So many questions ran through my head.

Like when I see her face to face so we could actually talk.

How long would it be until I would be able to face her?

The list had many.

I went up to Jasper and he looked up.

"I'm sorry Jasper. I was too caught up with Bella that I didn't think about your emotions. Forgive me?" I stuck my hand out towards him and waited.

He looked at it for a while before shaking my hand and pulling me into a brotherly hug. "What are brothers for?"

"Thanks." I smiled before letting go and we walked back to sight.

I could handle this. Though I can't believe it happened. Bella would be fine. I hope she's safe though.

BPOV

It had been a week since I sent Edward that letter. And he hasn't responded back. This made me anxious.

What if he never wanted to see me again after what I told him? What if he was scared and didn't know how to react? What if he was…..dead? I didn't even want to think about that. Just the near thought would send me to full on depression mode, just waiting to die.

I was heading to town today. I was going to go see Alice so she could tailor a dress that was too small for me.

I was hurting; my stomach wasn't on my side today. I usually felt okay, but today was pure agony. I would have stayed home, but I needed to see Alice. We were planning today. We were also meeting her mother Esme about some things.

My feet were aching from always having to walk to town. Not having a car had its disadvantages. So I decided to wear some flat shoes today for support.

Before I could leave though, which I was just about to, Jacob came running towards me shouting my name.

"Jacob? What are you doing here? I thought you were with your wife?" he came up to me and kissed me. It was the sweetest kiss he had ever given me. I felt myself smiling as he pulled away.

"I left my wife." I frowned. I felt extremely terrible.

"But why?" he frowned when I said that and his eyebrows mashed together.

"I thought you would be happy? Now I can be with you without having to leave every other day. Isn't this what you wanted?"

"Jacob of course I'm happy. I mean I love you and want to be with you….but I feel like a….such a….tramp!" the tears were on their way. I started to cry. Jacob grabbed the back of my head softly and pressed his body up against mine as I cried into his chest.

"Honey, you are not. Come on now you know you could never be that if you trued. Things happen for a reason."

"But I feel s-so bad." I sobbed and wrapped my arms around him. He brushed my hair and shushed me gently. This is the Jacob that I loved so much. The other one where he was insensitive and impassionate was gone. And I was hoping for good.

"You shouldn't because you know why? Before I met you, I thought my wife was the most beautiful thing in the world. But ever since I met you, I think that you are, and especially now." He smiled up at me and I stopped crying automatically. I smiled up at him and reached up, as far as I could, to kiss him.

"Thank you Jacob. I love you."

"I love you too." He smiled.

"I will see you when I get back I have to meet Alice."

"Okay, hurry back."

"I will."

I left the house and walked to town.

When I reached Alice's store she was reading something. It was a letter. Probably from Jasper, her husband. She looked radiant in her green quarter sleeve dress. It had small ruffles on the bottom of the hem and sleeves and she was wearing a pink rose in her hair.

"Good morning Alice." I said as I entered the store.

"Oh good you're here. How are you doing?" She took the letter down from her face but kept it in her hands.

"I'm well. Hurting, but it could be worse."

"Yes, at least you're not fat. Yet." She smirked at me and snickered into the letter.

"Hey, it's not my fault I like to eat. It's nature. And what do you got there." I pointed to the letter.

"Oh, this is just a letter from Jasper. It's an invitation to the music festival down in Georgia where he, Edward, and Emmett are stationed. And speaking of Edward, he sent you an invitation. Rosalie is packing right now for her and Elijah." She looked out the window and corrected herself. "Actually, she is coming through the door right now." She smiled and went behind the counter to meet Rosalie, Emmett's wife and Jasper's twin, and Elijah at the door.

"Hi Elijah!" she scooped him up and started to plant kisses all over him.

"Hi auntie Awice!" Elijah said he was two and was still learning how to talk well enough. With Emmett gone, Elijah barely had contact with any male companionship besides there golden retriever Teddy. And that did not count.

I smiled at them before moving to Rosalie and giving her a hug. Then I remembered what Alice said before Rosalie came in and froze.

"Wait! What do you mean Edward sent me an invitation?"

"You're going to Georgia with us to see our men." Alice smiled as she snuck Elijah a piece of candy.

"Alice! You know Elijah can't have candy!" Rose said, seeing the attempt at secrecy.

"Sorry, I'll put it back." She set the candy back to down and turned to me.

"What do you mean our men? I've told you Edward and I are not a couple right now."

"Right now no. but once you tell him you will be once again." she smiled as she bounced the toddler up and down

I blushed and looked at the ground.

"Bella Marie Swan you didn't!" Alice yelled. I flinched back at the sound. I looked up and Alice had set Elijah down and came towards me, rose did too.

"What?" I cried out.

"You didn't tell him?" she said through her teeth.

"Well kind of. I mentioned it, but I didn't really tell him….you know." I grabbed my elbow and tapped on it.

"So as in you didn't really tell him you mean you didn't tell him that…"

"Yes! I said that I didn't know! I lied alright? But I do know! I'm just afraid that if he finds out that he is the cause of it that he will never want to have anything to do with me!" I felt hot tear on burning my eyes as I blinked them away.

"Bella, Edward loves you more than that you know that right." Rosalie said.

"I just don't know anymore. Jacob just left his wife and I…I just need to get away." Alice rubbed my back as Rosalie went to grab Elijah who was about to knock down a display item from the front.

"That's why you're coming with us to go see Edward. You need to tell him. He's not going to wait for long."

"You're right. I just need to see him and I'll know my answer. Thank you Alice, no wonder you're my best friend." I hugged her and sighed in content and relief.

"And also my soon to be sister-in-law."

"Don't get too ahead of yourself." I laughed. I suddenly felt much better. In just a short while I would see Edward.

"Okay, I already have your clothes packed so let's get going." Alice went around to her counter and grabbed two suitcases.

"What about your store? And Jacob?"

"Esme will take over until I get back. And you need to leave Jacob Bella. I don't know why you are even with him when you are with Edward."

"I'm not with Edward. " I confirmed.

"You write letters to him, it's the same thing. Deal with Jacob when you get back and when you do, I will be there to make sure you break up with him are we clear?" she gave me a stern look as she stared me down. She never liked Jacob. She thought he was a scumbag.

"Yes mam." I saluted her and her and Rosalie laughed.

3 hours later we all were on a plane to Georgia. I was starting to get nervous; I threw up a few times on the way there. And I took multiple stops to the bathroom for a pee break. But we finally landed in Savannah, Georgia where the men for the army were stationed.

We stopped at the Ritz hotel, that's where we were staying to get some rest. The festival was not until Saturday afternoon. It was Thursday. Tomorrow we would go a little sightseeing and get new dresses and a dress shirt and pants for Elijah.

I changed into my comfortable night gown and pulled the sheets down. The mattress was very soft and comfortable and the pillows were down. Only the finest at the Ritz. It was a very exhausting day and I was worn out.

Friday seemed to wiz by. By the time I knew it, I was getting ready to go to the music festival. I had picked out a blue flowy dress that came about to my knees. With black heels, which I hoped I would be able to walk in my condition, were about 2-3 inches. I had my hair in soft curls that fell down my back.

Alice choose a purple quarter sleeve dress that hit at the knees with a flower pin and her hair in pin curls with black heels while Rosalie opted for red dress with an empire wait and buttons and black heels. Her hair was in golden curls along her shoulders. Little Elijah was dressed in brown dress pants with a white button down and black dress shoes. His blonde hair and blue eyes looked even more striking.

We left the hotel and took a trolley to the festival. We had to walk around for a while before I finally spotted Edward, Emmett, and Jasper on the other side entering from a building.

"There they are." I pointed as they made their way to a booth.

"This is it." Alice beamed. "Don't forget to tell him." She turned to me.

"How could I forget." I said pointing to myself.

"Let's go." we made our way to the men and as we did Edward turned his head for a half second. He did a double take before he stared at me for a long hard minute and his face went blank.

While Alice ran into Jasper's arms and kissed him and Emmett scooped Elijah up and kissed his head and brought Rose to him so that he could kiss her, Edward just stood there in shock. I didn't know what to do so I walked up to him.

"Hello Edward." I said shyly.

"Bella." He breathed so low that I could barely hear him.

"Look at you!" I sucked in a deep breath as I thought about how I was going to explain everything. I gulped in a deep breath and exhaled.

"Oh boy." I thought. I felt myself blush before Edward did something I was not expecting.

Oooohhhhh…..Cliffy! (:

If you want to guess what has happened to Bella and/or what she is going to tell Edward you can/should (:P) leave a PM or REVIEW. I PROMISE you it's worth guessing. (:

Okay so I'm gonna have to have at least 10 reviews if you want to know what's going on. NO REVIEWS= NO UPDATE! I'm sorry to say that but come on; don't I deserve at least 10 reviews for this chapter? I made it extra long plus I would do it for you if you were in my shoes. (:
