"Wow. I can't believe you really went through with this, Bella. I'm really happy for you, though," Alice chirped.
I smiled at my second best friend and shoved the rest of my hamburger in my mouth; I was savoring the taste. I didn't have to be 100 percent healthy anymore. It felt kind of good to get the cholesterol running through my arteries.
Rosalie looked at me with disgust. Although, not for the reason that you'd think. Ever since she got pregnant meat has repulsed her. It's all vegetarian for her at the moment.
"I can't believe you went through it either, Bella. I'm still pissed at you for going through it. Why?" Rosalie questioned.
I shrugged and rolled my eyes at her.
"I'm honestly tired of you bothering me about it, Rosalie. It's my decision, not yours."
She looked aback and huffed while crossing her arms. It's getting really tiring having to deal with her accusatory statements and looks.
"I'm really happy for you, Bella. Actually, I have a job offer for you." Alice said.
I looked up from my juicy slab of cow meat with interest. A job offer from Alice? This could be really interesting.
"Well, I know that you quit modeling. But I also thought that might just be for those kinds of companies. What would you say to modeling for my clothing?"
I swallowed and felt the small smile creep onto my face. I can't believe that I'd never thought of working with Alice.
"That would be a great idea! Why have you not mentioned something about that earlier?"
She shrugged while stabbing the limp lettuce on her place.
"You seemed to really enjoy the modeling job that you had. I didn't want to take you away from that."
I must say that I love my best friend right now.

Dear Edward,
I don't know if you heard about Alice's recent proposition. I'm going to be modeling for her fashion agency. Isn't that amazing?! I can't believe that she didn't mention something about it earlier. I never thought about working with your sister. She said that she's going to give me a lot of free reign, within reasonable limits. It feels great to be modeling for something that I actually get to choose. Did you know that Rose was the one to sign me up with JCP?
Anyway, that's enough about me. How are you? I finally started to get all of those letters that you sent me. I still can't believe that Tiffany had been harboring all of our letters. I still haven't gotten the full story on that.
Alice said that you're getting closer and closer to Level Four. I'm so proud of you, Edward. I'm glad that you're doing everything that you can to get out of there. I want you to come back home.
Although it seems as though the letters have a long space between two of them. It was two weeks before you addressed another one. I'm just wondering if you really did wait to write another or did I just not get another letter?
Emmett said that you'd been asking about Jacob Black. I know that the tabloids are saying that we're dating. I can assure you that we're not. He's just such an amazing friend of mine. I've known him for many years.
I hope that you can get out of there soon. I'm getting tired of just seeing your handwriting, Edward. I want to see you. Please write back as soon as you can.
Bella
I kissed the letter and sprayed it with perfume. Yeah, I know it's cheesy. What can you say about a girl in love?
