[Jacob's recently noticed something amiss... Bella's scent is gone. He was hoping it had been a mistake, perhaps Cullen's sickly sweet stench had drowned hers out. But he couldn't find it anywhere now. Not even near the apartment building he knew to be hers.]

Has anyone seen Bella Swan lately? Long brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, kind of klutzy?

...not lately, no.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

I know she can be kind of private, but it's just weird...

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

When was the last time you talked to her anyway?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[He has to think.] ... Late September.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

...that long ago? I guess that's about the last time I saw her, too.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

I always thought she was with Edward. She did the same thing back home whenever they were together.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

What, disappeared for a long period of time?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Ignored everyone for him... and that too. She turns into a zombie without him, too.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

[...what.] Really? That's not the Bella I used to know. [It helps that he met Bella kind of pre-Edward.]

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

... Really?

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

She was just...accident-prone. But she was nice, used to be around and everything. But then she and Edward got engaged...I helped with the wedding planning a little. But after that Edward disappeared. And then he came back and things just got kind of weird.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

The Bella I knew was completely obsessed with him. [This is a sore spot.] She spent all her time with him and when he left, she locked herself away from everyone for months. She only came out of it to do some weird... adrenaline junkie things. Like she didn't find her life worth living anymore and had to pull crazy stunts to even feel alive.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

Are you kidding? I don't think I ever knew that side of her.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

That's the side Edward brought out in her. [...] I kind of saw the side you're talking about when it was just me and her... but she nearly killed herself over losing him. [Not really. She jumped off a cliff. He growls.] They weren't even dating for that long.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

...but why would you...[Jacob you are just confusing Roxas about dating and relationships even further what the fuck.]

You've known Bella for a while, right?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Yeah. We made mudpies together when we were kids.
