For a human driving from Forks to Phoenix, it would take roughly one and a half to two and a half days with their slow speed and having to stop to eat or sleep every now and then. With Edward driving and both him and Bella having gotten enough to drink before they left, it would take about a day, maybe less. Most likely less.

They were both silent in the car while Edward swerved in between other cars here and there. Bella was looking through the whole scrap book, more memories flooding back with each overly decorated page with random quotes, sayings, or phrases that Bella B made up. Some of them were funny, some serious, some there for no apparent reason. She was good at doing that, Bella remembered about her. There were pictures of them at birthday parties, the beach, out swimming, in each others rooms, at school events that their parents felt the need to document, them doing their different hobbies to showcase their differences more drastically, (Bella B liked to dance and play the guitar or drums, Bella S reading or just watching her graceful friend do things that she would never attempt), and pictures of their families. As the book continued, the girls grew up together, different hair cuts here and there, (there was a picture of Bella S with short hair and bangs that she despised by the look on her face and with Bella B laughing at the look on her face too, there was also a picture of Bella B getting a hair cut almost the same), you could see their styles develop differently too, (they both loved to wear shorts in the heat, but Bella B was able to go a little bit crazier with her style than Bella S and Bella B had a beautiful blue sapphire ring she wore almost every day that matched her blue eyes perfectly).

Edward was silent most of the time letting Bella reminisce in her forgotten memories. He would look at each page, paying attention to each detail. He wanted to learn as much as he could about Bella's life before he knew her. Every now and then, he would ask her a question about some of the pictures. One question was about the Halloween pictures that were there. Bella B always seemed to be dressed as one of those extremely annoying mimes that she overdid every year. Bella S was always something randomly different.

Bella closed her eyes and frowned in thought. Her memories may be coming back, but it was still hard to get out a few select memories about her. She remembered and laughed as she did, "that was a sort of inside joke between us. I would always tell her how much of a mime she was because she was able to mimic someone'sdancing choreography or the voice of our favorite cartoon characters. She was always able to mimic someone at something that it would annoy me so much. I would constantly remind her of that so every year for Halloween, she would dress like that just to annoy me even more. I didn't mind only because it was the only time of the year that I was able to annoy her even more withmy complaining, all of it was purposeful of course," she finished explaining with a smile.

Even without being able to know what Bella was thinking, Edward could see that there was a closeness between the two Bella's that even she couldn't describe. Just by looking at the pictures, he could see the bond that they shared. He completely understood why she needed to know what has come of her.

"She sure did put a lot of work into this," commented Bella silently at all of the details that were put into every page of it.

"It does look that way. Is it something she liked to do?" asked Edward.

Bella frowned again to think about the answer, "Yes, she did. The first scrap book she made was one for her whole family to enjoy. She made it in honor of her aunt Carrie passing away. She was really close to her. It was a major loss and the only thing she was allowed to keep was the sapphire ring that you see her wearing in almost all of these pictures. Sapphire was Bella's middle name and her aunt's middle name. They both only had that as their name because of how blue their eyes were," finished Bella.

She was getting near the end of the book. There was another picture of both of them celebrating both of their birthdays.

"How close are your birthdays?" asked Edward.

"Mine is on the 13th of September and hers in on the 3rd of September," answered Bella. She chuckled, "I remember when we were still in elementary school, I was so jealous of her because she was ten days older than me," she smiled at the memory.

On the last page, there was only one picture that had both of them sitting on a rock looking out into the dessert at the sun set, taken from behind. Underneath that, there was another note from Bella B in the same cursive handwriting;

'Hi there. Remember when this picture was taken? It was taken with my camera after I set the timer to go off just then. It was the end of the day that you made your final decision that you were gonna go and live without me in Forks with Charlie. It was just four days before you left.'

Bella wanted to cry again.

'Anyhow, if you are reading this part, I can only assume that you went through the whole book. If so, thank you for your invisible present of going through each and every documented memory. You have no idea how much that means to me. There are just a couple more things I want to say before you close the book. Here is one of them. You will never understand how much I was blessed to have a friend like you. I know how corny that sounds and I hate to do corny, but it's the truth. I have absolutely no idea how insane I would be if I didn't have my sister with me through everything we went through. Thank you. You also have no idea how much I could use your sister love right now, but I do hope that you never have to feel the same pain that I feel now. For that, you will always be in my prayers.

'Now please do me just one last thing. There is a website that is addressed .net. Go to it. I have created an account on it for the both of us. The username is BellaX2 and the password is sistersnow&4ever. I know those are both extremely corny too, but it does fit. On that journal, I have documented every happy event that happened without you there, so they may be happy, but it was still a hollow joy without you to share them with. Some of them also include pictures taken by yours truly!

'Feel the sister love? I'm giving you enough to last you an eon and more!

'Love Bella B'

Bella so wished she could cry so that she could get out the rainbow of emotions that she was feeling at the end of reading her last letter. She felt grief because it was all she wrote and because it was unlikely she could actually talk to her again, happy that she still has some sort of connection with her after all this time, and guilty for leaving her behind still and for not remembering her, or even writing to her after she moved. She hurt her friend and she had nothing she could do to take it all back.


Mkay, I have a couple things to say. One of the things I want to mention is that I really want a beta because I know that my grammar is not the best, believe me! Another thing, please leave a review of what you think so far even if this is the third part because the more reviews I get, the more motivated I will be to finish it because I have only, 6 parts done I think and that's all that has been done for a long time, it's sort of just sitting there waiting for me to get some inspiration. Last thing, I really want to see where you think this story is going. It may be obvious in some ways, but I still really want to know!

Thank you!! :)
