To: Rose Hale

From: Mike Newton

Subject: Throw me a Bone

Come on, Rose. I arranged to cover these depositions so that I can talk to Bella. Quit being such a bitch and let me in the apartment. Bella will be pissed if she knows you are keeping me away. You know she belongs with me. I am sure you were the one that pushed her at the British guy. Quit trying to screw up our relationship. It's not about you.

I have to leave next Tuesday. I really want to see her, to work things out. I know that you don't like me, but stop interfering with Bella's happiness. I'm staying at the Grosvenor. She can reach me there or on my cell.

I don't know what I did to make you hate me, but you are only hurting Bella.

Subject: FW: Throw me a Bone

Cut his balls off. So help me god, if he gets anywhere near Bella, I will kill him. She's a fragile mess. I am at a loss. I don't know what else to do to help her. You didn't know her when she was with this asshat – he sucked the life right out of her. She has come so far, and this whole debacle has pushed her right back into all her insecurities. I should kill both of those assholes. Thank you for helping keep them away, no way could she handle them right now.

I am sucking it up and asking for help. What should I do? Why can't I get her to snap out of it?

I feel like I am letting her down and I don't know how to fix it.

Last night she told me that she had sex with the limey prick (thanks for the great nickname). It explains why she is so torn up over this. Prior to last weekend, Bella's only slept with one guy in her entire life, and I wish she hadn't even slept with him. To her, sex is the sign of ultimate trust. She would never do random. They had fallen asleep, and she got up to find some food when she saw a picture of a woman that looked just like her and went into total panic mode. He sent her a letter trying to explain it all, and now she's all turned around.

I snuck a peek at the letter when she was asleep. It's bad, and I don't blame her for freaking out. I would have, and I am a hell of a lot stronger than she is. Want to know the worst part? Even thought the douche never even apologized for what he did, I think I believe him. I think he really does care about her…some of the things he said…

Anyway, she can't bring herself to see it. She's too hurt and too scared. And to have Mike show up on it all compounded it by ten. At least she turned her phone off, that idiot was calling every 30 minutes.

Why do men have to make everything so god damned difficult? And why are we the ones that always get hurt?

Subject: Re: Throw me a Bone

I'll gladly cut off Mike's balls. Bella deserves way better. I could tell that based on what little she told me. My impressions since Saturday only reinforce that.

I know where to find the limey. I am going to go talk to him, see if I can't get the other side of the story. Maybe we can find out some way to snap her out of it. I can't stand seeing her like this. If it's like you say, maybe there is a way to draw her out, make her fight back. She needs to believe in herself first before she can worry about anyone else. She is an amazing person if she would just believe it.

Then again, maybe that's all she needs, a little positive reinforcement. She told Mike off after all. Maybe the limey started something good.

If you find him, and he was just fucking with her, cut his balls off too please. I'll bronze them and give them to her for Christmas.

I could hear her crying in her room last night. It was late, and I went in to check on her. She was crying in her sleep. It was the most pathetic, heart breaking thing I've ever seen. I don't know how to make her better.

Just be her friend. Be there for her.

Love can heal all wounds. No one says it has to be romantic.
