Four Months Later

"Hale, Jasper?" A mailman read out. Jazz raised his hand and recieved the thick envelope containing more than one letter. He grinned.

"Swan, Isabella?" My head snapped at my name. No way. I raised my hand shyly and got an envelope addressed to me.

Someone wrote me?

I opened the letter.

Bells,

It's me. Em.

I really don't know what to say. What am I supposed to say, you know? "Hey, Bells. Long time no see. What's new with you?"

You know I've never been good with words.

So, instead, how about you fly down to Fork when you get the chance, and we get to catch up? According to Jasper's letter, you won't be getting this until your next Mail Day... So in about four months. This is also when you should be able to get relieved from training for two months. Right? Before you guys have to go back to be promoted.

I'm just going to imagine that you said, "Yes, Em. You're so right you big brilliant genious, you."

Inside of the envelope is a plane ticket to Forks Washington. I hope you'll be coming.

I'll be the amazingly handsome guy at the airport holding a "Bella" sign. You, of course, are Bella.

Anyways, there's so much to catch up on that simply cannot be done on paper. I really hope you'll take the ticket home.

Please, Bells.

I miss you.

Love,

Em.

I looked in the envelope to find a ticket to Forks, First Class.

Emmett was always true to his word.

I let out a stifled sob and Jasper put his arm around me.

"Going to Forks, partner?" I nodded through the tears and reread Emmett's letter. I had missed my best friend so much.

My only anchor was finally pulling me back in.

Jasper and I waited in line to board the plane. We were still in uniform, so we stood straight and stared ahead despite the fact that I had never been more nervous in my life.

"Flight 172, you will now be boarding." A lady announced pleasntly and the line began to move. Jasper and I gave the lady our tickets.

Jasper put his stuff in the overhead above us, and there was no longer any room for me. I began to scan other cubbies for a spot.

"Oh, here, let me move my bag." A man insisted as he carried his child off his lap and onto the seat next to him.

"There's really no need." I began, feeling guilty. The man just ignored me and grabbed his and his daughter's bag and moving them inconveniently far from them. "Please. I can move my things there. Go ahead-"

"Nonsense!" The man explained, the sides of his eyes wrinkled as he smiled. His eyes watered. "Thank you so much, for serving our country."

"Thank you!" His daughter called out in a squeaky appreciation. I placed my bag on the new available spot and gave them a grateful smile.

Their act of kindness truely touched me.

An hour and a half later, we landed.

I exited the plane, where I saw Emmett McKartny holding a big pink poster that said, "Bells!" Just as he promised.

I paid no attention to anyone else once our eyes locked.

We ran to each other and held each other. People around us clapped as he swung me.

I hadn't expected to notice him. But he was exactly the same. He had the same curious eyes and goofy smile plastered on his face. He was just bigger by like twenty fold. He still gave bone-crushing hugs.

"Bells. I've miss you so much." He cried, his hot tears falling down my neck.

It's okay. I cried too.

"I've missed you too, Em."

I suddenly felt like a little girl trying to escape the real world in her best friend's arms. He didn't let go for a long time. I was glad. I had a lot of life to forget.

Emmett made everything better.

However, we had to part when a twinkling voice chimed, "Em! Stop being such a hog! I wanna meet Bella!"

Alice skipped towards me once I was free from my friend's embrace. I knew she was Alice because of Jasper's continuous babbling about her. She looked just as beautiful, and very fashionable, as he had described.

She pulled me into a hug. "Bella, it's so very nice to meet you." She said contently. I was never that great at befriending girls. So I awkwardly patted her back until she released me. Instead of fully letting me go, she held my arms and told me, "You and I are going to be best friends. I just know it."

"Thanks for demoting me, Alice." A beautiful voice snorted. I turned to see a beautiful tall blonde hold Emmett, trying to comfort him. She may have been shorter than him, but her beauty demanded attention.

Well done, Emmett.

She took one hand off Emmett and stuck it out to me. "Hi, I'm Rosalie. Emmett's girlfriend." I thought Jazz had said they were going to get engaged soon? Maybe he didn't have the courage yet.

"Hi, I'm Bella." I shook her hand, feeling my confidence shrivel as I compared myself to this bombshell that towered over me.

I must have looked so ordinary around her.

"I know. Em's been talking non-stop about you." She rolled her eyes. "It's been rather annoying, actually. I'm so glad you're finally here so he can shut up."

I laughed. I'm glad Em wanted to talk about me.

"And, Bella, this is Edward." Alice had found her way into Jasper's embrace, where she truely belonged. She gave me a knowing look as she directed me to a man that Jasper had described but to completely inaccurate details.

Jasper's Edward was supposed to have brown hair, be tall, and looks kind of like Alice.

This Edward was beyond handsome. He was fit, Army fit. He was taller than me, but he was the perfect tall. He did not have brown hair, but a coppery hair. He had the most amazing green eyes on that perfectly sculpted face of his. Eyes that were staring at me expecantly.

What does he want?

Oh yeah.

He had been holding his hand out for me to shake it. I quickly stopped drooling over him and shook the hand that had been offered to me, completely ignoring the fact that electricity was strumming my arm.

"Hi. I'm Edward." He said softly, still shaking my hand. I gave him a tight nod, the way I would if I was being greeted to a Captain.

"Bella."

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.

Someone cleared their throat, and we let go of each other's hands.

I sunk back next to Emmett and he swung his huge arm around me, his other arm around Rosalie.

They looked perfect for each other.

"So, Bella, what're you up for?" He asked. Everyone stared at me and I felt my face redden. It doesn't matter how long I've been in the Army, I still blush like a child whenever I recieved any type of attention.

"Why do I have to decide?" I countered.

"You just came back."

"So did Jasper." I pointed out.

"Same old Bella. Whatever, just pick something." My stomach grumbled.

"Food?" I asked and everyone nodded in agreement.

We stood in line to order our pizza, deciding how much we needed, what sides to get, and what toppings we should get. Emmett decided that he wanted to treat everyone, with only me protesting his offer.

"Bella, don't be dumb. I'll pay." He insisted.

"Bella, let him." Rosalie assured me. When I opened my mouth to protest she said, "Emmett is incredibly stubborn. He would hate to make you pay, and won't budge on it. If you insist on paying he becomes quite child-like and a bit unbearable."

I caved and followed her to the table that they had began to claim.

Rosalie sat next to Alice, leaving only two spots available; by her or by Edward. I didn't want to separate Emmett and Rosalie, so I opted for the seat next to Edward.

That stupid electricity began to hum in the air between Edward and me so I tried to edge away.

Emmett slumped in the available seat next to Rosalie.

"So, Bella... Tell me what's happened since I've last seen you." He leaned on his elbows and everybody stared at me.

Oh gosh. Where to begin?
