Blog #5

For this blog I read more of New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. Lately Bella has been noticing Jacob acting very strange. He seems very upset about this new group of guys hanging out with Sam Uley because he is taking his friend from him and he never hangs out with him anymore. This really upsets Bella because she cares about him and she can tell it's hurting him. She is also noticing that she depends more on Jacob to keep her from hurting when Edward isn't around. One day, Bella goes to a movie with Jacob and Mike which was not a good situation because the two guys both like Bella and were competing the whole time. They go to a horror movie because it is the only one Bella thinks she can see without it reminding her of Edward. On the way home Bella notices that Jacob looks like he doesn't feel too well and she feels his forehead and notices he is burning up. He insists he will be fine and leaves. Bella starts to get worried when Jacob doesn't call her for a few days and doesn't return her calls. She now spends most of her time worrying about Jacob and what is going on instead of thinking about Edward which demonstrates how much Jacob means to her. I am confused as to why Jacob won't answer and think that he is hiding something from her because he wouldn't normally act like that.
