A few days later, Sophie was laying in her bed, trying to catch her breath after a round of exercise. Her right hand was circled around her upper left arm, measuring the distance between her fingers once again. Her eyes fluttered every so often - she was tired from the activities over the past few days.

It had been two days since their adventure with the bikes. Despite the injury to Bella's head, she turned out completely fine and continued to hang out with Jacob and Sophie. He had been over for dinner both nights now, which encouraged Sophie to finish her meals.

It was overwhelming at times and caused Sophie to fit in a few minutes to work out. 

The previous night, Bella had brought up the idea of Jacob joining her and her friends for a movie that Friday. Sophie encouraged the idea, knowing that Jacob's crush was only growing and that it'd be a good time to hang out together.

Which is why he insisted that she came as well. Sophie was ready to punch him, hoping that Bella would disagree.

Unfortunately for Sophie, she did not.

So now, Sophie was being forced to go to the movies with the two and some of Bella's friends from school. She knew that it would be awkward for her - Jessica Stanley wouldn't allow her to enjoy herself and Mike was a little weird in her opinion. Bella's other two friends - Eric and Angela - seemed the most decent out of the four but Sophie would've rather not dealt with any of them.

Her phone rang on her bedside table and she reached to grab it, putting it up to her ear when she did. "Hello?"

"Sophie?" Renee's voice echoed through the phone and a smile tugged on Sophie's lips.

"Hi mom." She sat up in bed, crossing her legs underneath her. It had been a couple of weeks since she'd last spoken to her mom.

"How are you, Soph? I haven't heard from you in a while." Renee was thrilled to hear from Sophie a few days after she returned from inpatient. They talked on the phone for hours that night, catching up on things that had happened over the past month.

"I'm okay." She told her. She was doing okay - while she did still worry about losing control and gaining weight, she wasn't struggling with finishing meals now. She felt that Jacob was helping her now as much as he was helping Bella. "How are things in Florida?"

"Fantastic as always." Sophie could almost hear the smile in her mom's voice. "You'll have to come down one day and visit, Sophie. I haven't seen you in forever."

"I know." She looked down at her blanket, pulling on a thread as she did. "I'll visit soon."

"You should!" Sophie heard a bit of commotion in the background and Renee sighed. "Phil just got home with dinner. I'll call you later, okay? I love you."
