Jacob's POV.

Dear Diary, 

I met with Newt today.

He wouldn't eat anything. Despite feeling hungry earlier, he refused to eat.

In the harsh morning light I noticed more faults about my friend. One was that he was so emaciated looking. I was worried he was going to break from just breathing.

When the waitress came to our table, I ordered two portions of pancakes, one black coffee and one soda. I knew that once the food was placed before him, Newt would undoubtedy want to eat something.

Queenie had informed me in morning- before I had left to meet Newt- that, he needed someone to take care of him. Since he had refused both her and Tina, it seemed that I was the next possible candidate. Why not? He was my best friend and had helped me in my times of struggle. Without Newt Scamander help, I fear that I would never have opened the bakery.

Carlene (our waitress) returned speedily with our food. The pancakes, despite being from a run down joint, were absolutely delicious. If I hadn't been so anxious about Newt, I probably have enjoyed them more.

I recall him looking down at the food, I could tell that he was tempted to eat but his grief was obstructing his appetite. I didn't say anything to him, I knew that he would eat when he was ready.
