The sun rose, and Bella reached for her hairbrush. Pulling it through her drying out hair, she planned her day. Suddenly, her phone rang, bringing her out of her daze.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Oh. Jacob. Hi."
"That's not a very warm greeting!"
"Sorry. What dya want?"
"Wanna come over later?"
"Um, maybe.."
"Come ooon! I haven't seen ya in ages!"
"Fine, I'll be over at one.."
"Awesome, bye!"
Before Bella could say goodbye, he had already disconnected her. Damn it. He'd make her eat. She started her morning exercises. 90 sit ups, 100 press ups and 150 squats. She ran down the stairs and made herself a cup of instant coffee. Good girl. No calories. Hunger suppressant.
Walking into the living room, she flicked on the television. Supersize vs. Superskinny was on. Always a channel she enjoyed. After watching TV until half 12, she started to get ready for going to Jake's. Baggy hoody, loose jeans, good to go!
Closing the door, she started to walk to Jake's house. At least it's some exercise..
At 10 past 1, she rang the Black's doorbell. Jake appeared instantly and hugged her.
"Bella! It's so good to see you! I've missed you so much! Have you lost weight? You feel like you're gonna break!" His eyes were full of concern.
"Um, hi." she muttered, her eyes avoiding his.
"Ice cold.. Everything OK?"
"Sorry. Yeah, what could be wrong? So, what dya have planned for today?"
"You tell me. Wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure"
He linked his arm with hers and led her towards the forest.
"So, what's wrong?" he asked, his eyes connecting with hers.
"Nothing Jake. I'm fine." She flashed him her award winning smile.
"Awh, ok, I can't argue with that smile"
Ha! You did it! I'm so proud.
"So Bella. We've been friends for a long time. I was thinking.." he paused.
"Thinking what, Jake?"
"Do you think you'd want to.."
"Want to what? Spit it out!"
"Go.. Out with me sometime?"
"Jake, we go out all the time!""Um, I mean more like, on a date."
"Oh." Bella stopped. On one hand, he was cute. Very cute. But on the other, he was her best friend.. And she didn't like him that way.. Did she? Could she?
"Bella?"
"Oh, sorry.." what could she do. Say no, he'll distract you from me. Would you throw away pure happiness and beauty for a pretty face? No.. Tell him no. "Em, Jake, I can't.."
"Oh. OK. Cool. Yeah, sure. Um, why not?" he muttered, his eyes glistening.
"I couldn't do that.. It'd be unfair, I miss Edward too much.. It'd be too mean of me.." Nice excuse!
Jake emitted a low growl. "Fucking Cullen's…"
"I'm so sorry Jake.. I better go.."
"No Bella! I'm sorry for bringing it up! Stay! Let's just enjoy the sunshine and the wonderful outdoors!" She had to smile at that. His eye's looked so much like a puppy's she had to stay..
Jake fell into bed that night. The day hadn't gone the way he hoped. He wasn't happy like he usually was after spending the day with Bella. She was so thin.. He could feel it through her hoody. Cullen, I will kill you for what you did to her..
She was breaking. He could see it in her eyes when she smiled, that shadow.. When they were out, she stopped, and doubled over with pain because of her joints. It was terrifying. How could his Bella do that to herself! No, not your Bella.
The memory of her turning him down saddened him beyond belief. He was so sure she'd say yes. He loved her so much…
When she pulled out a pack of cigarettes, he could have killed her. When he asked her about it, she just shrugged.
What was she doing to herself. How could she. He had to help her.
His last thought before falling into unconsciousness was I will help her, no matter what it takes…
Bella got out of her clothes and gazed at her reflection. It was her nightly torture. You did well today. When Jake offered her lunch, she thought he'd make her eat. When she asked for just coffee, his head dropped and he turned away from her. It was heartbreaking.
"I ate before I came.." she'd said in explanation.
"Right." he replied. "You know you can't fool me Swan."
"I'm not"
He knows. He knows everything. So? He didn't abandon you. Our secret is safe.
Tears leaked out of her eyes.
"Oh, Edward.. I love you.." she whispered…
Right! End of chapter 2!

Stay safe!
