[ COMING SOON ]

DEAR DIARY,

I just got home from ballet practice, and Bella is coming today. Uncle Charlie just left to pick her up from the airport, so they should be here in a few hours.

He says I'm supposed to be excited - that having a sister is the most wonderful thing in the world. That I shouldn't take her for granted like he took his own for granted. I know I don't talk about my mom much, but what's the point? She's dead and left me with Uncle Charlie.

He keeps insisting Bella is my sister, but she's not. We all know I'm a guest in this family even though she's the one that left Charlie behind and forgot about him as soon as she was old enough to decide not to come to visit us anymore.

I don't really understand why Bella is moving in to begin with. She'll hate it here. She won't appreciate the things I love - the cold and the rain and the people and Charlie. I don't think she's changed so much that she'd enjoy those things that she used to hate.

But Uncle Charlie told me to give her a chance, and so I will for his sake. I owe him the world - the least I can do is be nice to my cousin because I know she'll be nice to me too. It's not that Bella is mean. She's just so painfully awkward.

Maybe she'll make friends with Angela. I certainly can't see Jessica becoming her friend, but I remember Bella always clinging to me on visits, too shy to wander on her own and explore the world. According to Charlie, her mom says she's still the same. So, she'll be stuck with the likes of Mike and Eric and Tyler if that's the case. I can picture the nightmare interactions now. But maybe it'll work out.

Maybe I'm just worrying too much. Everything will be fine. This is your cousin coming to live with you, not the end of the world. It's a good thing, especially for Uncle Charlie.

I'll see you next time.

EMMETT

We've been in Forks for a year now. A year of acting like she's not what my every waking thought is about - Edward's probably ready to throttle me. Rose will be pissed at me, but when is my best friend ever not pissed?

I can't stay away any more. She's my mate - not even Rosalie or any of Carlisle's warnings can keep me from her anymore. I don't care that she's the doppelgänger. That's never been any concern to our kind of vampires anyway. It's too hard seeing her every day and not having her.

And Alice saw Edward's mate coming the other day. What? I'm supposed to watch them fall in love without being able to do the same? No. No, it's not fair.

Honestly, I'm surprised I've gone this long without talking to her. I think Jasper and Esme have a bet going on, but Edward won't tell me. Probably doesn't want to influence it. Well, one of them is about to win.

I know the risk, but I have no choice. I have to know her. I have to know Nova Swan.
