Jacob. Him crushed. I couldn't get that last picture of him out of my head. I will see his smile again. That note broke my heart. He's hurting and I'm doing nothing to stop it. I'm a horrible person. "Bella what are you thinking? I hate when you keep so quite." Edward whispers during class. I snap out of my thoughts and look at Edward, my boy friend. That doesn't sound right anymore. "Nothing really. I'm just listening to the lecture." Edward looks at me with distrust but lets it go. I go back to my thoughts. Why do I have to give up Jacob for him? Jacob is amazing. He's funny, smart, a great friend… His eyes are warm just like his body. And OH his body… his muscles so big, his wide shoulders, his perfect tanned skin, his sparkling white teeth… WAIT! What am I saying? He's my best friend… or is he? Is he more then that? "Bella! Your heart is beating really quickly." Edwards says holding his ice cold hand to my heart. "I'm fine." I whisper looking down. He lifts my chin up and I look in to his golden eyes. "What aren't you telling me?" "Nothing." He looks at me eyes full of worry and I look away. RING goes the school bell and I run out the door. I know it's no use, but I run anyway. If I can stay in populated areas he can't pop up right? Wrong. I feel a cold hand on my shoulder and I turn around. "Okay what's wrong with you?" Edward says angrily. "Nothing! Now let me go!" I yell and push him away with all my strength not that it helps but he gets the message and lets go. "I need to clear my head. I'll see you later." I say and jog to my truck. I don't look back. I can't see his face right now. I need to see Jake and clear this all up. I go as fast as my truck can take me to the familiar streets of La push. When I reach Jacob's house no one's there. Not even Billy. I should check the Clearwater's house. Soon as I turn the key I hear someone yell "Bella! Wait!" I turn my truck off and look out my window. It's Seth, Seth Clearwater. Wow. He looks like Jacob did before he turned into a werewolf. Is that Seth's fate too? Poor Seth. Oh wait he's trying to tell me something. "Are you looking for Jake?" "Um yeah do you know where he is?" "Yeah wait just a second I'll be right back" Seth says and runs into the woods. A few minutes later he comes back with Jacob, sweet, sweet Jacob. He doesn't look so sweet right now though. His hands are balled into fists and his face is a mask of a stranger. It reminds me of how Sam uses a mask to stay calm. It bugs me. He's not my Jacob when he's like this. But that was before he saw me. When he spotted me his eyes lit up and the smile I'd been waiting for was on his face. "Bella!" He shouted and ran to me. I ran to him and he picked me up in a big bear hug. "I missed you Jake" I breathed into his neck. "I missed you too Bells. I missed you too."
