Jake's POV

I had to pick my dad up early this morning to take him to a doctor's appointment in the city. Bella was already awake and I could tell she was having a bad day but I really couldn't stay so I figured she could lay around, sad for the day and I would check on her when I brought my dad home.

When I bring my dad home Mike is sitting on the couch with her curled up next to him, her eyes red and puffy but she's not crying right now. She's just staring into space.

Mike shakes her a little and tells her I'm here. She kind of groans something that I don't think anyone understood.

"Can I tell him Bella?" He asks and she mumbles don't care, nothing matters anymore. "OK honey I'm going to go in the kitchen with them so you don't have to hear about it again. If you need anything just call for me."

Mike was always good to Bella but I've never seen him like this with her and it worries me.

He kisses her hand, stands up and my dad and I follow him to the kitchen.

He tells us the whole day's events…her lying to Emmett, Sam showing up and convincing her to get lunch with him, and Emmett being here when they get back.

"He had said something about how she can get pretty bad when she is depressed. When she questioned him about it he tried to change the subject back to Sam but she pushed him on it. They had a son together, he died as an infant and he thought since she didn't remember there was no reason to bring it up. I guess I can see his point but I can see her point too. He's supposed to bring by a box of things they have from him and then she never wants to see him again."

I don't even know what to say. I mean she's been dating him for about a month. I thought it was going well. She's been to their house a few times and she brought some of her stuff back from there. Mostly clothes and books, tons of scrapbooks she had made of their life together. He must have taken out anything that involved the baby before he ever took her there.

"Sam said she gets easily depressed, that she feels everything amplified and that in other situations you couldn't let her get too deep into it… but what do you do with something like this?" He asks me but I don't know. I mean she's been my best friend since we were kids and I take care of her when I need to but she always had her mom for the really emotional stuff.

"I really don't know." I look at my dad who loves her like a daughter.

"I think we just let her do whatever she needs to do for a while but keep an eye on her. None of us know what she is feeling." He suggests. It sounds like a reasonable suggestion.

"Emmett told Sam that she nearly died after they lost the baby. She stopped eating and she wouldn't talk to anyone until finally they checked her into the hospital, then she was in therapy until the accident. But now… she doesn't actually remember him. I don't know if that makes it better or worse. And what happens if she suddenly gets her memories back and she has to deal with everything all over again?"

"One day at a time, that's all any of us can deal with. She's going to need the support of all of us as much as she will let us." My dad tells us.

"I have to go pick up Leighton so Jessica can get to work. You have her for the night?" Mike asks us and my dad tells him yeah go get Leighton.

"I haven't seen Emily all day." I tell him and he tells me to go check on her then come back if I can. Bella is numb right now, she doesn't really need anyone right there.

We walk back into the living room to see Mike kneeling in from of her, telling her he has to go but to call him if she needs anything.

"I want to go to my room." She whispers so he helps her up and takes her to the room coming back a few minutes later.

"She wants something to help her sleep. I told her someone would get her something. I can pick something up after I pick Leighton up if you need me to." He offers but my dad tells him he has some sleeping pills she can take.

"I'll take them to her, go get Leighton." I tell him so he can leave.

I take Bella the pills then I have to leave too after telling her and my dad to call me if she needs anything.

When I get home Emily is furious that I'm late but after I tell her what happened with Bella she's practically packing a bag and pushing me out the door to spend the night with her promising me she will call me if anything changes with her or the baby.

I call Sam on the way to tell him, more like warn him, that I am staying with Bella tonight so Emily will be alone until he gets there. He asks me to keep him updated on Bella.

I get back to Bella's house and I am relieved that she's sleeping. I stay up and talk to my dad then text Mike to let her know she is sleeping.

Since Bella is crashed I decide to sleep in the bed with her in case she wakes up. I don't want her to think she is alone.
