Edward Pov (Bella aged seven, two weeks later)

Dear Edward

Inclosed is a letter that Bella wrote for you. She is eagerly awaiting your response, don't let her down and come home soon, we all miss you.

Love Esme.

I scanned Esme's short note before ripping open the letter from Bella, desperate for any sort of connection to my girl. I sighed with relief and elation at the sight of Bella's messy scrawl and the colourful scribbles at the bottom of the page done in crayon, depicting Bella and myself holding hands, a halo of orange circling my head and a skirt drawn on Bella, our names scribbled over our heads. My heart sank at the sight of the broad smiles that adorned our faces.

Dear Edward

This is my first time writing a letter, pretty isn't it? Mommy helped me with my spelling but Emmy kept teasing me about my handwriting, its not too bad is it? Today Jazzy brought me to school and then Alice brought me shopping but she made me wear a dress and we were there for hours and now my feet hurt. And Emmy and Rosie took me out for ice-cream. I got chocolate but they didn't get any and then Emmy played aeroplane with me and I dropped my ice-cream so Rosie bought me another one.

Jazzy's going to help me read today, we're reading Watership Down now, I really like it. I helped Mommy to make cookies yesterday, they were a little too brown but Mommy said they were still good and Daddy and I watched Bambi together. Yesterday everybody read me Beauty and the Beast. I liked it when Emmett put on the ballerina skirt and Rosie read it really nice, but i still like it better when you read to me.

I miss you lots and lots Edward, Daddy says you'll come back at Christmas but that's really far away. Can't you come sooner, please? Everybody's been really nice and been playing with me lots but i'm really lonely without you. Nobody can push me on the swing like you do and everybody else's hand is too big or too small to hold mine when we cross the street. Please come home soon Edward.

Love Bella.

A gentle warmth spread through me, a selfish part of me glad that Bella missed me and that I hadn't been replaced. But no matter how satisfied that selfish part of me was, it didn't help the lonliness that spread with the satisfaction. To miss my family was nothing for they were immortal and a decade was nothing to us but the desire to see my girl was overwhelming, time moved slower for humans. Her lifespan was relatively short and to miss even a moment was regrettable.

I sighed softly as I surveyed my surroundings, the thick blanket of snow that covered the ground, the clear blue sky and the tall evergreen trees that were scattered across the land. I couldn't help but picture Bella donning a thick coat, hat and mittens as we had a snowball fight. I shook my head and reminded myself that I could still play with Bella in the snow once I went home for Christmas.

"Edward?", I turned to see Tanya approaching the rock I was sitting atop. She gracefully sat beside me and fiddled with the hem of her sleeve.

"Tanya", I sighed, weary of this conversation. I was starting to wonder if coming to Denali was a good idea.

Tanya held up a hand to indicate for me to stop speaking and i did so waiting for her to speak.

"Edward I understand, you've made yourself clear plenty of times before and I don't wish for you to feel as though you must avoid me", she said, her Russian accent seeping into her words.

I looked at her doubtfully and she smiled ruefully "It was very difficult for me to accept that you weren't attracted to me Edward", I tried to soothe her injured ego but she gave me such a look that I chose not to say anything at all. Tanya looked at me, her expression soft as she spoke "I'd like for us to be friends Edward", she glanced towards me and seeing my wary expression she held up her hands in surrender "no flirting, no innuendos", she stated "just clean old boring friendship". Tanya smirked and chuckled slightly.

I thought it appropriate to laugh along with her but couldn't bring myself to, I was however glad that she had chosen for us to just be friends.

Tanya glanced towards the letter I clutched tightly and raised one eyebrow. She wondered silently if perhaps it was from a woman. She tried to smother her jealousy but not totally successfully, I chose to ignore it this time and appreciate her effort.

"Do you want to talk about it?", she asked sympathtically.

I shook my head and exhaled loudly "No I'm fine". She peered at me sceptically but chose to say nothing.

"I'm just feeling a little useless", I murmured.

She smiled gently "Well that's easy", she said as she stood "just find something to do, something useful that's benefitial to who ever it was that wrote you that letter".

A slow smile spread across my face, though in Tanya's mind it had a bitter edge "I know exactly what I need to do".

Today's Advertised Story

Billy Knows by I Have A Scarf - On My Head

Bella just can't cope after edward leaves. She breaks down to Charlie and everything comes out. Yes - everything. A few hours later she's sitting in a Psychiatrist office certain that she'll be considered certifiably crazy. Good bit of AU New Moon Angst

Review Please

Finally done! Not an easy chapter I'll tell you but it's done so i'll say no more. Sorry it's so short but it is in longer paragraphs so it's probably longer then it appears.

And before you say anything Edward and Tanya are not going to date or anything along those lines and he's not going to use Tanya to make Bella jealous or anything they're just going to be friends. I hate the bad rap people always give Tanya when she was really nice in the book so she's going to be one of the good guys and don't worry Bella's still going to be Edward's best friend.

Review please and I'll let you roll around in the snow with Edward.
