Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer p. 92-112

I have read yet another chapter in the book Eclipse since my last post. Chapter four takes place on a Saturday, Edward is gone for the whole day to go hunting. Bella doesn't mind because she knows that Edward will be more calm and at ease once he goes. But she also hate's when he's gone because she has nothing to do, which makes her anxious. And it's just Bella's luck when she goes in for work and they tell her they don't need her for the day because business was going slow that day. Bella had nothing to do, and even though she knew she would get in a ton of trouble with Edward and his family, she decided to go visit Jacob. They basically just got caught up on their lives. Jake wanted to know what happened with Edward and Italy, so Bella told him the basics of the story. Jacob also told Bella what happened with Victoria and that whole incident when she was in Florida, and it was exactly what Edward had told her, which was a bit of a relief to Bella. Jacob also told Bella once again that Bella was with the wrong person, but Bella tells Jacob the same thing every time - that she loves Edward, and she loves him for who he truly is. But for the first time, Bella sees how much it pains Jacob to see them together. And she realizes that Jake has become a part of her, and she couldn't change that; there is no just cutting him out and trying to forget about him.
