But... When I Left You, Bella, I Left You Bleeding. Jacob Was The One To Stitch You Back Up Again. That Was Bound To Leave It's Mark - On Both Of You. I'm Not Sure Those Kinds Of Stitches Dissolve On Their Own. I Can't Blame Either Of You For Something I Made Necessary. I May Gain Forgiveness, But That Doesn't Let Me Escape The Consequences.

Do You Truly Believe That You Care More For Me Than I Do For You?" He Murmured, Leaning Closer To Me As He Spoke, His Dark Golden Eyes Piercing. I Tried To Remember How To Exhale. I Had To Look Away Before It Came Back To Me. "you're Doing It Again," I Muttered. His Eyes Opened Wide With Surprise. "what?" "dazzling Me," I Admitted, Trying To Concentrate As I Looked Back At Him. "oh." He Frowned. "it's Not Your Fault," I Sighed. "you Can't Help It.

His Gold Eyes Grew Very Soft. “you Said You Loved Me.” “you Knew That Already,” I Reminded Him, Ducking My Head. “it Was Nice To Hear, Just The Same.” I Hid My Face Against His Shoulder. “i Love You,” I Whispered. “you Are My Life Now,” He Answered Simply. There Was Nothing More To Say For The Moment. He Rocked Us Back And Forth As The Room Grew Lighter.

You're Really Not That Good A Mechanic, Edward. Maybe You Should Have Rosalie Take A Look At It Tonight, Just So You Look Good If Mike Decides To Let You Help, You Know. Not That It Wouldn't Be Fun To Watch His Face If Rosalie Showed Up To Help. But Since Rosalie Is Supposed To Be Across The Country Attending College, I Guess That's Not The Best Idea. Too Bad.

Please Don't Run Away. And, Um, I'd Rather You Didn't Kick Me Again Either.

Will You Be?” I Asked, Suddenly Anxious. “will You Really Be Here?” “as Long As You Want Me,” He Assured Me. “i'll Always Want You,” I Warned Him. “forever.

Edward Can Do Everything, Right?" I Explained. Jasper Snickered And Esme Gave Edward A Reproving Look. "i Hope You Haven't Been Showing Off-it's Rude," She Scolded. "just A Bit," He Laughed Freely. "he's Been Too Modest Actually," I Corrected. "well, Play For Her," Esme Encouraged. "you Just Said Showing Off Was Rude," He Objected. "there Are Exceptions To Every Rule," She Replied.

I Flicked On The Light Beside My Bed, Waiting For My Breathing To Slow, Veins Full Of Adrenaline From The Realistic Dream. A New Dream, But In Essence So Much The Same As The Many Others That Had Plagued Me In The Past Months. No, Not A Dream. Surely A Memory. I Could Still Feel The Heat Of Jared's Lips On Mine. My Hands Reached Out Without My Permission, Searching Across The Rumpled Sheets, Looking For Something They Didn't Find. My Heart Ached When They Gave Up, Falling To The Bed Limp And Empty.

You Still Owe Me A Yellow Porsche.

I Was Not Allowed To Think Of Him. That Was Something I Tried To Be Very Strict About. Of Course I Slipped; I Was Only Human. But I Was Getting Better, And So The Pain Was Something I Could Avoid For Days At A Time Now. The Trade-off Was The Never-ending Numbness. Between Pain And Nothing, I'd Chosen Nothing.

Maybe It's Because I'm A Little Naive, But I Do Like To Think That There Aren't Really Very Many Truly Bad People In The World. I Think That Everybody Has Their Reasons For What They Do, And If You Really Look Through Their Eyes, You Could Probably Understand Them.

Dont Be Afraid", I Murmured. "we Belong Together." I Was Abruptly Overwhelmed By Th Truth Of My Own Words. This Moment Was So Perfect, There Was No Way To Boubt It. His Arms Wrapped Around Me, Holding Me Against Him...it Felt Like Every Nerve Ending In My Body Was A Live Wire. "forever," He Agreed.

I Love You. You're My Only Reason To Stay Alive... If That's What I Am.

Just Like A Kitten That Thinks Its A Tiger.

And The Smile I'd Been Waiting For Stretched Across His Face Like The Sun Breaking Free Of The Clouds.

The Way Everyone Looked At Me Made Me Uncomfortable. Even Edward. It Was Like I Had Grown A Hundred Feet During The Course Of The Morning. I Tried To Ignore The Impressed Looks, Mostly Keeping My Eyes On Nessie’s Sleeping Face And Jacob’s Unchanged Expression. I Would Always Be Just Bella To Him, And That Was A Relief.

As Long As She Wants Me, I’m Here.

Someone Has To Spread The Good News That We Survived.

He Didn't Ask What I Was Thinking, Which Was Out Of Character For Him. I Guessed That Meant That He Was Just As Nervous As I Suddenly Was.

Woo!" Emmett Suddenly Boomed In His Deep Bass. "go Gators!" Jacob And Charlie Jumped. The Rest Of Us Froze. Charlie Recovered, Then Looked At Emmett Over His Shoulder. "florida Winning?" "just Scored The First Touchdown," Emmett Confirmed. He Shot A Look In My Direction, Wagging His Eyebrows Like A Villain In Vaudville. "'bout Time Somebody Scored Around Here.

I Didn't Relate Well To People My Age. Maybe The Truth Was That I Didn't Relate Well To People, Period. Even My Mother, Who I Was Closer To Than Anyone Else On The Planet, Was Never In Harmony With Me, Never On Exactly The Same Page. Sometimes I Wondered If I Was Seeing The Same Things Through My Eyes That The Rest Of The World Was Seeing Through Theirs. Maybe There Was A Glitch In My Brain.

Odd As This Might Sound, I Suppose I’m Glad You’re Here, Jacob. [edward Cullen]

Yeah, It's An Off Day When I Don't Get Somebody Telling Me How Edible I Smell." - Bella Swan.

This Love Was Tricky...was It Simply Better Somehow? Because These Humans Could Hate With So Much Fury, Was The Other End Of The Spectrum That They Could Love With More Heart And Zeal And Fire?

It's An Extraordinary Thing To Meet Someone Who You Can Bare Your Soul To And Accept You For What You Are. I've Been Waiting, For What Seems Like A Very Long Time, To Get Beyond What I Am.

It's Always Better To Be Kind. I'm Glad I Know Why." -wanda

Sometimes It Was So Easy To Forget That I Was Kissing A Vampire.

I Gave You Life. You’re Wasting It.

Making Decisions Was The Painful Part For Me, The Part I Agonized Over. But Once The Decision Was Made, I Simply Followed Through—usually With Relief That The Choice Was Made. Sometimes The Relief Was Tainted By Despair, Like My Decision To Come To Forks. But It Was Still Better Than Wrestling With The Alternatives.

When You Can Live Forever What Do You Live For?

As Far As Expense, I Think If 'twilight' Does Well Enough, Then We Should Be Able To Do The Big Expensive Stuff For The Sequels. I Mean, We Have To Have Werewolves, There's No Way Around It. They Have To Be There.

But Most Significant In This Tidal Wave Of Happiness Was The Surest Fact Of All: I Was With Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen

Books Have Been Thought Of As Windows To Another World Of Imagination

The Boy In The Pearl Gray Suit Could Have Been Jane's Twin. His Hair Was Darker, And His Lips Were Not As Full, But He Was Just As Lovely.

I Couldn’t Get The Words Exactly Right; I Only Remembered Wishing That Jacob Were My Brother So That We Could Love Each Other Without Any Confusion Or Pain.

Whatever End Found Us, It Would Not Find Us Separated. -- Bella Cullen

A Girl Can Dream." His Eyebrows Rose. "is That What You Dream About? Being A Monster?" "not Exactly," I Said, Frowning At His Word Choice. Monster, Indeed. "mostly I Dream About Being With You Forever.

Isabella Swan?” He Looked Up At Me Through His Impossibly Long Lashes, His Golden Eyes Soft But, Somehow, Still Scorching. “i Promise To Love You Forever—every Single Day Of Forever. Will You Marry Me?” There Were Many Things I Wanted To Say, Some Of Them Not Nice At All, And Others More Disgustingly Gooey And Romantic Than He Probably Dreamed I Was Capable Of. Rather Than Embarrass Myself With Either, I Whispered, “yes.” “thank You,” He Said Simply. He Took My Left Hand And Kissed Each Of My Fingertips Before He Kissed The Ring That Was Now Mine.

Jared Glared Balefully At The Old Man, His Eyes Full Of The Shock And Pain Of The Betrayed. I Had Only Human Comparisons For Such A Look. Caesar And Brutus, Jesus And Judas.

I Hear Voices In My Mind And You're Worried That You're The Freak,” He Laughed.

Yes Rosalie, We All Know How Proficient Of An Assassin You Are.

No, I Had Never Intentionally Caused Anyone Physical Pain, But I Had Hurt Ian Deeply Enough Just By Hurting Myself. Human Lives Were So Impossibly Tangled. What A Mess.

Edward And I Had Not Had A Last Grand Scene Of Farewell, Nor Did I Plan One. To Speak The Word Was To Make It Final. It Would Be The Same As Typing The Words The End On The Last Page Of A Manuscript. So We Did Not Say Our Goodbyes, And We Stayed Very Close To Each Other, Always Touching. Whatever End Found Us, It Would Not Find Us Separated.

After All The Thousand Times I’ve Told You I Love You, How Could You Let One Word Break Your Faith In Me?...i Could See It In Your Eyes, That You Honestly Believed That I Didn’t Want You Anymore. The Most Absurd, Ridiculous Concept—as If There Were Any Way That I Could Exist Without Needing You!

Do You Think I’ll Ever Get Better At This? That My Heart Might Someday Stop Trying To Jump Out Of My Chest Whenever You Touch Me?

After A Few Minutes, He Asked, Real Quietly, If You Turned Into An Animal, Too. And I Said, ‘she Wishes She Was That Cool!

Listen Up, Wanda. I Know Exactly What You Don't Want To Be. But We're Human, And We're Selfish, And We Don't Always Do The Right Thing. We Aren't Going To Let You Go. Deal With It.

Is He Your Warden Now Too? You Know I Saw This Story On The News Last Week About Controlling, Abusive Teenage Relationships And- "okay!" I Cut Him Off, And Then Shoved His Arm. "time For The Werewolf To Get Out!

After All I've Seen, If I Hadn't Learned Compassion, I Wouldn't Be Worth Much.

He Raised His Hand, Hesitant, Conflict Raging In His Eyes, And Then Swiftly Brushed The Length Of My Cheekbone With His Fingertips. His Skin Was As Icy As Ever, But The Trail His Fingers Left On My Skin Was Alarmingly Warm - Like I'd Been Burned, But Didn't Feel The Pain Of It Yet.

Melanie Still Grieves For Jared," She Stated. I Felt My Head Nod Without Willing The Action. "you Grieve For Him." I Closed My Eyes. "the Dreams Continue?" "every Night," I Mumbled. "tell Me About Then." Her Voice Was Soft, Persuasive. "i Don't Like To Talk About Them." "i Know. Try. It Might Help." "how? How Will It Help To Tell You That I See His Face Every Time I Close My Eyes? That I Wake Up And Cry When He's Not There? That The Memories Are So Strong I Can't Separate Hers From Mine Anymore?

I Was Thinking About How Disjointedly Time Seemed To Flow, Passing In A Blur At Times, With Single Images Standing Out More Clearly Than Others. And Then, At Other Times, Every Second Was Significant, Etched In My Mind.

Say What You Want, I Still Think Dracula One And Dracula Two Are Creep-tacular.

You're My Life Now And I Will Do Anything To Protect You.

And I Started To Cry Again, Realizing That It Must Be Changing Him, Too, This Man Who Was Kind Enough To Be A Soul But Strong As Only A Human Could Be.

I Know You're Frustrated That He's Keeping You Locked Up Like This, But Don't Give Him Too Bad A Time When He Gets Back. He Loves You More Than You Know. It Terrifies Him To Be Away From You.

I Had A Secret That I Was Bound To Protect But A Secret That I Was Not To Share. A Secert That Suddenly He Knew All About.

The Shadows Didn't Seem As Dark As Usual. Not With My Personal Sun Along.

True Love Was Forever Lost. The Prince Was Never Coming Back To Kiss Me Awake From My Enchanted Sleep. I Was Not A Princess, After All. So What Was The Fairy-tale Protocol For Other Kisses? The Mundane Kind That Didn't Break Any Spells? Maybe It Would Be Easy - Like Holding His Hand Or Having His Arms Around Me. Maybe It Would Feel Nice. Maybe It Wouldn't Fell Like A Betrayal. Besides, Who Was I Betraying, Anyway? Just Myself.

But On A Clear, Sunny Day? How Would She Know To Flee When She Couldn't See Any Place For Danger To Hide?

Maybe I Was What Leah Thought She Was. Some Kind Of Dead End That Shouldn’t Be Passed On To Another Generation. Or Maybe It Was Just That My Life Was A Big, Cruel Joke, And There Was No Escape From The Punch Line. -jacob

Don't Take Too Long, Mrs. Cullen

I'd Never Seen Anything More Beautiful - Even As I Ran, Gasping And Screaming, I Could Appreciate That. And The Last Seven Months Meant Nothing. And His Words In The Forest Meant Nothing. And It Did Not Matter If He Did Not Want Me. I Would Never Want Anything But Him, No Matter How Long I Lived.

The Waves Of Pain That Had Only Lapped At Me Before Now Reared High Up And Washed Over My Head, Pulling Me Under. I Did Not Resurface.

Surely It Was A Good Way To Die, In The Place Of Someone Else, Someone I Loved.

She Just Keeps Saying "he’s Gone.

It Was Very Strange, For I Knew We Were Both In Mortal Danger. Still, In That Instant, I Felt Well. Whole. I Could Feel My Heart Racing In My Chest, The Blood Pulsing Hot And Fast Through My Veins Again. My Lungs Filled Deep With The Sweet Scent That Came Off His Skin. It Was Like There Had Never Been Any Hole In My Chest. I Was Perfect - Not Healed, But As If There Had Been No Wound In The First Place.

It Was Amazing How Instantaneously The Choking Fear Vanished, Amazing How Suddenly The Feeling Of Security Washed Over Me - Even Before I Was Off The Street - As Soon As I Heard His Voice.

Emmett Thought About That For A Moment. 'you Really... Love Her?' 'i Can't Even Describe It, Emmett. All Of A Sudden, This Girl's The Whole World To Me. I Don't See The Point Of The Rest Of The World Without Her Anymore

She Reminded Me Of What It Did To Her When I Left — What It Still Does To Her When I Leave. She Feels Horrible About Bringing That Up, But She’s Right. I’ll Never Be Able To Make Up For That, But I’ll Never Stop Trying Anyway.

Sometimes The Best Hiding Place Is The One That's In Plain Sight.

Children In The Abstract, Had Never Appealed To Me. They Seemed To Be Loud Creatures, Often Dripping Some Form Of Goo.

I Felt Excited To Go To School, And That Scared Me. I Knew It Wasn't The Simulating Learning Environment I Was Anticipating, Or Seeing My New Set Of Friends. If I Was Being Honest With Myself, I Knew I Was Eager To Get To School Because I Would See Edward Culllen. And That Was Very, Very Stupid.

Be Honest, How Hideous Do I Look?" He Took Another Step Back And Pursed His Lips. "that Bad, Huh?" I Muttered. No, No Bella. Actually. . ." He Seemed To Be Struggling For The Right Word. "you Look. . .sexy." I Laughed Out Loud. "right." Very Sexy, Really.

Edward Stretched Out His Arm, His Hand Curled Into A Fist. Seth Grinned, Revealing The Long Row Of Dagger Teeth, And Bumped His Nose Against Edward's Hand. "nice Teamwork," Edward Murmured.

Um, Bella? You've Got A Huge Cut On Your Forehead, And It's Gushing Blood," He Informed Me. I Clapped My Hand Over My Head. Sure Enough, It Was Wet And Sticky. I Could Smell Nothing But The Damp Moss On My Face, And That Held Off The Nausea. Oh, I'm So Sorry, Jacob." I Pushed Hard Against The Gash, As If I Could Force The Blood Back Inside My Head. Why Are You Apologizing For Bleeding?" He Wondered As He Wrapped A Long Arm Around My Waist And And Pulled Me To My Feet.

Jacob Was Simply A Perpetually Happy Person, And He Carried This Happiness With Him Like An Aura, Sharing It With Whoever Was Near Him. Lika An Earthbound Sun, Whenever Someone Was Within His Gravitational Pull, Jacob Warmed Them. It Was Natural, A Part Of Who He Was.

Don't Be A Baby About This. No Tantrums.

"victoria?" She Hissed. "laurent?" I Nodded, A Teensy Bit Alarmed By The Expression In Her Black Eyes. I Pointed At My Chest. "danger Magnet, Remember?"

I Was Like A Lost Moon―my Planet Destroyed In Some Cataclysmic, Disaster-movie Scenario Of Desolation―that Continued, Nevertheless, To Circle In A Tight Little Orbit Around The Empty Space Left Behind, Ignoring The Laws Of Gravity.

You Can Have Me The Way I Am — Bad Behavior Included — Or Not At All.

There Are No Rules That Can Bind You When You Find Your Other Half.

I Took His Hand, And Suddely He Yanked Me―too Roughly―right Off The Bed So That I Thudded Against His Chest. "just In Case," He Muttered Against My Hair, Crushing Me In A Bear Hug That About To Broke My Ribs. "can't―breathe!" I Gasped.

There’s Something… Strange About The Way You Two Are Together. The Way He Watches You — It’s So… Protective. Like He’s About To Throw Himself In Front Of A Bullet To Save You Or Something.

I Hate Myself For Liking You.

He Never Leaves, Does He?

Those Who Lived In Peaceful Nations Had Looked The Other Way As Members Of Their Own Species Starved On Their Door Step.

Cerulean Left. I Wondered If She Was From Flower Planet. Blue Flowers Were Rare - One Might Take A Name From That.

I Struggled To Find The Words To Name The Feelings That Flooded Through Me, But I Had No Words Strong Enough To Hold Them. For A Long Moment, I Drowned In Them. When I Surfaced, I Was Not The Same Man I Had Been. My Life Was An Unending, Unchanging Midnight. It Must, By Necessity, Always Be Midnight For Me. So How Was It Possible That The Sun Was Rising Now, In The Middle Of My Midnight?

The Irresponsible Mother Helped Explain Bella's Maturity. She'd Had To Grow Up Early, To Become The Caretaker. That's Why She Didn't Like Being Cared For- She Felt It Was Her Job.

You Can't Trust A Vampire, Trust Me

But Never In The Four Hundred Years Now Since I Was Born, Have I Ever Seen Anything To Make Me Doubt Whether God Exists In Some Form Or The Other. Not Even The Reflection In The Mirror.

I Peeked Up At Him One More Time, And Regretted It. He Was Glaring Down At Me Again, His Black Eyes Full Of Revulsion. As I Flinched Away From Him, Shrinking Against My Chair, The Phrase If Looks Could Kill Suddenly Ran Through My Mind.

Um," Doc Said In A Mild Voice, "medically Speaking, I'm Not Sure That Was The Most Helpful Thing For His Condition." "but I Feel Better," Jared Answered, Sullen. Doc Smiled The Tiniest Smile. "well, Maybe A Few More Minutes Of Unconsciousness Won't Kill Him.

I Can Always Make Things Longer Than I Intend For Them To Be, But Cutting Things Down Is Just Brutal. It's Like Cutting Off Your Fingers Every Time You Lose A Word.

I've Seen Little Pieces Of 'interview With A Vampire' When It Was On Tv, But I Kind Of Always Go Yuck! I Don't Watch R-rated Movies, So That Really Cuts Down On A Lot Of The Horror.

Worst High Five Ever." - Diego

I Couldn‘t Make Sense Of The Mess In My Head. Diego Was Dead, And That Was The Main Thing, The Devastating Thing. Other Than That, The Fight Was Over, My Coven Had Lost And My Enemies Had Won. But My Dead Coven Was Full Of People Who Would Have Loved To Watch Me Burn, And My Enemies Were Speaking To Me Kindly When They Had No Reason To.

Does It Bother You, Me Being Half Naked All The Time?

She Sees Things — Things That Might Happen, Things That Are Coming. But It’s Very Subjective. The Future Isn’t Set In Stone. Things Change.

Who Are You And What Have You Done With My Brother?

After All, How Many Ways Can One Heart Be Mangled And Still Be Expected To Keep Beating?

Bella: "i'd Say I'm Sorry, But I'm Not." Edward: "and I Should Feel Sorry That You're Not Sorry, But I Don't.

My First Feeling Was That There Was No Way To Continue. Writing Isn't Like Math;in Math, Two Plus Two Always Equals Four No Matter What Your Mood Is Like. With Writing, The Way You Feel Changes Everything.

I Was A Vampire, And She Had The Sweetest Blood I’d Smelled In Eighty Years.

Sometimes I Think You Like Me Better As A Wolf." "sometimes I Do. It Probably Has Something To Do With The Way You Can't Talk.

The Only Reason I Left Was To Protect You.

Your Hold On Me Is Permanent And Unbreakable. Never Doubt That

Time Means Little; I Never Notice Its Passing.

I Miss You Already I Don’t Need To Leave. I Can Stay. . . . Mmmm.

He's Like A Drug For You, Bella. I See That You Can't Live Without Him Now. It's Too Late. But I Would Have Been Healthier For You. Not A Drug; I Would Have Been The Air, The Sun.

Eclipse Of The Sun

I Would Probably Never Be Able To Do Anything Interesting Or Special Like Edward, Alice And Jasper Could Do. Maybe I Would Just Love Edward More Than Anyone In The History Of The World Had Ever Loved Anyone Else.

Even If We All Want You Here, You Don't Belong Until You Decide You Do.

You Speak As If A War Were Raging." "to The Remains Of The Human Race, One Is.

I Wish I'd Hurt Him I Didn't Do Any Damage At All-bella I Can Fix That-edward I Was Hoping You Would Say That-bella There Was A Slight Pause "that Doesn't Sound Like You What Did He Do"-edward He Kissed Me-bella All I Heard On The Other End Of The Line Was The Sound Of An Engine Accelerating

So What Are You Going To Tell Her?" "a Little Help?" I Pleaded. "what Does She Want To Know?" He Shook His Head, Grinning Wickedly. "that's Not Fair." "no, You Not Sharing What You Know-now That's Not Fair.

Something I've Never Seen In All My Lives. I'm Staring At... Hope." - Wanda

I Can Do This, I Lied To Myself Feebly. No One Was Going To Bite Me.

I'm Just Here To Be Your Friend. Your Best Friend, One Last Time.

Your Best Friend

No One Could Be Still Like Edward.

You Should Have Seen His Face When I Started Taking My Clothes Off. Priceless.

I’m Glad I Came. I Didn’t Think I Would Be. But It’s Good To See You… One More Time. Not As Sad As I’d Thought It Would Be.

You’re Still Waiting For The Running And The Screaming, Aren’t You?

What Am I Going To Do With You? Yesterday I Kiss You, And You Attack Me! Today You Pass Out On Me!

He Squeezes My Hand, And My Heart Punches Against My Ribs. It's Just Like Pain, This Pleasure.

I Would Always Love This Fragile Human Girl, For The Rest Of My Limitless Existence.

So What You're Saying Is, I'm Your Brand Of Heroin?" I Teased, Trying To Lighten The Mood. He Smiled Swiftly, Seeming To Appreciate My Effort. "yes, You Are Exactly My Brand Of Heroin.

He Leaned Over To Kiss The Top Of My Head, And Then Groaned. I Looked At Him, Puzzled. "you Smell So Good In The Rain," He Explained. "in A Good Way, Or In A Bad Way?" I Asked Cautiously. He Sighed. "both, Always Both.

I Used To Dream About Him All The Time," Sunny Whispered To Me. "every Night. I Kept Hoping The Seekers Would Find Him; I Missed Him So Much...when I Saw Him, I Thought It Was The Old Dream Again.

I Wanted Myself. I Wouldn't Let What Was Mine Be Destroyed.

I Think Being A Teenager Is Such A Compelling Time Period In Your Life--it Gives You Some Of Your Worst Scars And Some Of Your Most Exhilarating Moments. It's A Fascinating Place; Old Enough To Feel Truly Adult, Old Enough To Make Decisions That Affect The Rest Of Your Life, Old Enough To Fall In Love, Yet, At The Same Time Too Young (in Most Cases) To Be Free To Make A Lot Of Those Decisions Without Someone Else's Approval.

Falling In Love

We Did Not Hope For The Same Things, But We All Hoped.

Only A Teenage Boy Would Agree To This: Deceiving Both Our Parents While Repairing Dangerous Vehicles Using Money Meant For My College Education. He Didn't See Anything Wrong With That Picture. Jacob Was A Gift From The Gods.

I Was Consumed By The Mystery Edward Presented. And More Than A Little Obsessed By Edward Himself. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. I Wasn't As Eager To Escape Forks As I Should Be, As Any Normal, Sane Person Would Be.
