"So, Face Punch, huh?" Jacob said to Mike, who looked very nervous. "You like action movies?"

"Not really," Mike stated.

"I heard it sucks," Jacob said. "Bad."

"Are you even old enough to see this movie?" Mike asked Jacob.

I raised an eyebrow at Mike. Is he nervous about Jake or jealous?

"I mean, like, without adult supervision."

"Right, yeah, yeah, well, she's, a buying my ticket for me," Jacob said.

"Oh, she's buying it? Ok." Mike said just as Bella walked over. We looked at her.

"Jessica bailed...ad Angela got the stomach flu so Eric's taking care of her. It's just us four."

"Alright," Jacob said, looking at hit ticket.

"Great," Mike said.

During the movie, Jacob sat to my right, Bella sat to his right and Mike sat to her right. To be honest, this movie is actually really good. We were almost done with it when Mike suddenly got up. "Ok, I-I think I'm gonna throw up."

The three of us watched as he walked out of the theater. We got up and followed after him.

Jacob chuckled. "What a marshmallow."

I chuckled as did Bella.

"You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit."

"Yeah, I'll keep my eye open for that," Bella said. I walked slowly behind the pair, smiling slightly. I haven't seen Bella this happy since before Edward left. "I feel bad. He probably has that flu that's...going around." I noticed they were holding hands but Bella pulled her's away.

"What, I can't hold your hand?" Jacob asked, confused. I bit the inside of my lip. Well...this is getting a bit awkward.

Bella let out a breath. "No, of course, you can. I just think it, you know, means something a little different to you so..."

"Kay, well, tell me something," Jacob said. "You like me right?"

Bella nodded after a few seconds.

"And you think I'm sort of beautiful," Jacob added. Huh?

"Jake, please, don't do this." Bella let out a breath again and sat on the stairs leading to the second floor of the building. Jacob leaned against the railing.

"Why?" He asked.

"Cause you're about to ruin everything," Bella answered. Uh-oh... "And...I need you." Bella sighed.

"Well, I've got loads of time. I'm not gonna give up."

"I don't want you too," my sister said. "But that...that's just because I don't want you to go anywhere. That's, that's really selfish. You know, I'm not like a car you can fix up... I'm never gonna run right. So, I should be fair to you."
