{BELLA}

I slowly eat the Granny Smith apple on my tray as Mike slides into the blue chair in between Jessica and I. Jess has a huge crush on him, and I can see why. They're perfect for each other. But Jess has been angry with me, ever since Mike asked me out. I said no. When he asked again, I said no. I went on a group date with Jake and him, and he tried to kiss me. Ever since then I've been turning him down, and I'm running out of excuses. But all but one of the Cullen's are moving back. I'll have my best friend, and other friends. The one thing I won't have is... Him.

{EDWARD}

My family gets to see her. I couldn't go back. She'll hate me for leaving her. But Alice keeps saying how miserable she is. How much she misses me, how all she does is feel the pain I left her with. But what else could I do? I was putting her in constant danger. She was never safe. I read every email she sends me. Oh how I just want to reply. Say anything... Even just hello. Maybe I should. I open one of the emails she sent this week.

Edward

Life without you is hard. I know you aren't reading this, but I tell myself it's for closure. Who am I kidding? How could I get closure when you're all I see? I love you, Edward. Was my love not enough? I need you, my Edward.

Bella

Instead of putting the email in my "Bella" folder, I click reply.

Bella

Your love was enough. Of course it was.

I love you.

Edward

I read over the email, and finally I hit send. Now she knows. She knows I love her.
