"Hey Garrett," I greet my friend, grinning still.

He was out of breath, huffing and puffing with his hands on his knees. I see his eyes go towards Bella for half a second, realizing what's going on right now. Then he pulls me into a tight hug. I hug him back, grateful for the comfort he obviously is trying to give me.

"Bella, this is Garrett. Garrett, this is Isabella. Remember when I told you about her?" I glance at her. The confusion doesn't make any sense, but with her current state of mind I can't blame her for being confused.

Garrett doesn't surprise me when he pulls her into a hug. I see Bella relax and hug him back with a smile on her face.

I have to suppress the urge to be jealous. I know there's no need for it at all but damn it, I can't help it.
