Dear Bella,

It's been forever since we last chatted! How have you been? Forks feel so lonely without you around. Seriously, it feels like you're leaving me behind. How's life in Mystic Falls? You're still hanging out with Jeremy, Matt, and Caroline, right? I hope they're doing well! Jess and Lauren were super jealous when they saw your Facebook pics of Jeremy and Matt. How's your grandma? Is she doing okay? And what about you, Bella? I'm just asking because I haven't heard from you in a while... I really hope you haven't forgotten about little me. Jacob Black misses you just as much as I do—maybe even more! He mentioned that one of his tribe elders had a weird dream about you. I've also had some uneasy thoughts about you lately, but I don't want to end on a downer. I'm doing well, and so is my family; everyone's okay. I even think Jessica secretly misses you. Write back when you can. Please get in touch! Message me any way you want; reach out.

Sincerely,

Angela.


Dear Diary,

Damon and I spent the entire summer trying to find Stefan and Klaus. Honestly, I feel so lost without Stefan, Jenna, and John being around. I've got Jeremy and the others, but it doesn't feel the same.

What's Klaus's deal? He pulled off his ritual and got everything he wanted. So why does he still need Stefan?

And can you believe Elijah would actually betray us? That's the last thing I expected.

On the bright side, I've got to hand it to Damon. He's been my rock through all of this crazy stuff.

Mrs. Higginbotham came over today with some food Bella made. Jer and Alaric were going on about how she's a fantastic cook.

But honestly, I'm not sure I want Bella in my life. She knows too much about all this, and since she can't be compelled, we can't clean her memory.

I really don't want her as a sister, a friend, or even a neighbor. It just feels overwhelming.
