A/N: This is my version of the note Bella wrote to Jacob, which elicited his response at the very beginning of Eclipse. This was written for the May 100-word challenge in sillybella's Twilight Challenges Forum here on this website. Check it out for more information!

Many thanks to sillybella and be my escape for the beta. Extra thanks to BME for catching my breach of canon!

Jacob,

Please don't ignore this note the way you ignore my phone calls. I'm not giving up on our friendship, and I'm not listening to any more excuses about 'mortal enemies.' We can find a way to still be friends, but I need your help. I have to actually talk to you, one way or the other. Please, Jake, I'm begging you. You promised you'd never hurt me, and you promised you'd always be my friend, no matter who I loved. Not being your friend hurts me. Where's your persistence? Don't give up on me now.

I miss you.

Bella
