Our Relationship Couldn't Continue To Balance, As It Did, On The Point Of A Knife. We Would Fall Off One Edge Or The Other, Depending Entirely Upon His Decision, Or His Instincts. My Decision Was Made, Made Before I'd Ever Consciously Chosen, And I Was Committed To Seeing It Through.

How Well Opposed To Grand Theft Auto Are You?

Grand Theft Auto

Alice Was Scrutinizing My Boring Jeans-and-a-t-shirt Outfit In A Way That Made Me Self-conscious. Probably Plotting Another Makeover. I Sighed. My Indifferent Attitude To Fashion Was A Constant Thorn In Her Side. If I'd Allow It, She'd Love To Dress Me Everyday―perhaps Several Times A Day―like Some Oversized Three-dimensional Paper Doll.

I Was Just Wondering Why You Stabbed Him. Not That I Object.

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 Told You I Didn't Want To Fight With Charlie." "nobody Said That You Had To." I Glowered At Him. "i Can't Help Myself When He Gets All Bossy Like That―my Natural Teenage Instincts Overpower Me.

And Then Writing, It Was Like I Just Found It, You Know? Like You Just Found Your Favorite Flavor Of Ice Cream, All Of A Sudden There It Is. 'this Is What I Should Have Been Doing For The Last Thirty Years. What Was I Thinking?' So I Was, Then I Was In And Then I Had To Just Keep Going With It.

What Were You Two Doing Last Night, Discussing The National Debt?

Would You Like To Hear My Story, Bella? It Doesn't Have A Happy Ending - But Which Of Ours Does? If We Had Happy Endings, We'd All Be Under Gravestones Now.

What's So Funny?" Bella Mumbled. "i Got Food In Her Hair," I Told Her, Chortling Again. "i'm Not Going To Forget This, Dog," Rosalie Hissed. "s'not So Hard To Erase A Blond's Memory," I Countered. "just Blow In Her Ear." Get Some New Jokes, "rosalie Snapped.

Ready To Be Humiliated, Wanda?" Wes Taunted. "you May Have Taken The Planet, But You're Losing This Game.

It Makes Me . . . Anxious . . . To Be Away From You.

Love Is Simply Where It Is.

Stupid, Shiny Volvo Owner.

It Sounded Like You Were Having Bella For Lunch, And We Came To See If You Would Share.

I Wondered How Long It Could Last. Maybe Someday, Years From Now.if The Pain Would Decrease To The Point Where I Could Bear It.i Would Be Able To Look Back On Those Few Short Months That Would Always Be The Best Of My Life.

Two Voices Struggled Inside Me. One That Wanted To Be Good And Brave, And One That Told The Good One To Keep Her Mouth Shut.

It Will Be As If I'd Never Existed, He'd Promised Me. I Felt The Smooth Wooden Floor Beneath My Knees, And Then The Palms Of My Hands, And Then It Was Pressed Against The Skin Of My Cheek. I Hoped That I Was Fainting, But, To My Disappointment, I Didn't Lose Consciousness. 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.

Do You Have A Multiple Personality Disorder?

Don’t Be Offended, But You Seem To Be One Of Those People Who Just Attract Accidents Like A Magnet. So… Try Not To Fall Into The Ocean Or Get Run Over Or Anything, All Right?

If You Don’t Send Edward Out, We’re Coming In After Him! (emmett)

How Old Are You?” She Asked. My Answer Was Automatic And Ingrained. “seventeen.” “and How Long Have You Been Seventeen?” I Tried Not To Smile At The Patronizing Tone. “a While,” I Admitted. “okay,” She Said, Abruptly Enthusiastic. She Smiled Up At Me.

Speak Of The Devil, And The Devil Shall Appear.

You Still Owe Me A Yellow Porsche.

And Then, As The Room Went Black, I Was Suddenly Hyperaware That Edward Was Sitting Less Than An Inch From Me. I Was Stunned By The Unexpected Electricity That Flowed Through Me, Amazed That It Was Possible To Be More Aware Of Him Than I Already Was. A Crazy Impulse To Reach Over And Touch Him, To Stroke His Perfect Face Just Once In The Darkness, Nearly Overwhelmed Me. I Crossed My Arms Tightly Across My Chest, My Hands Balling Into Fists. I Was Losing My Mind.

Speaking Of Which, Would You Like To Explain To Me How You’re Alive

I'd Never Understood How Carlisle Was Able To Do That - Ignore The Blood Of His Patients In Order To Treat Them. Wouldn't The Constant Temptation Be So Distracting, So Dangerous? But Now, I Could See How, If You Were Focusing On Something Else Hard Enough, The Temptation Was Be Nothing At All.

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

Forever Is Only The Beginning

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.

Carlisle: "i've Seen Vampire Venom Work Miracles, But There Are Conditions That Even Venom Cannot Overcome."

You're Not The Center Of The Universe, You Know.

Center Of The Universe

I'd Rather Die Than Be With Anyone But You.

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.

I Always Needed That Extra Fantasy World. I Had To Have Another World I Could Be In At The Same Time.

Time Passes. Even When It Seems Impossible. Even When Each Tick Of The Second Hand Aches Like The Pulse Of Blood Behind A Bruise. It Passes Unevenly, In Strange Lurches And Dragging Lulls, But Pass It Does. Even For Me.

So It’s Still Standing?” He Managed To Get Out Between His Snickers. “i Would’ve Thought You Two Had Knocked It To Rubble By Now. What Were You Doing Last Night? Discussing The National Debt?” Emmett Howled With Laughter.

Bella, There's A Part Of You That Loves Me.

Your Scent Is Like A Drug To Me Like My Own Personal Brand Of Heroin.

How Was I Ever Going To Fight The Blurring Lines In Our Relationship When I Enjoyed Being With Him So Much?

Our Relationship

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.

I Tensed For The Spring, My Eyes Squinting As I Cringed Away, And The Sound Of Edward's Furious Roar Echoed Distantly In The Back Of My Head. His Name Burst Through All The Walls I'd Built To Contain It. Edward, Edward, Edward. I Was Going To Die. It Shouldn't Matter If I Thought Of Him Now. Edward, I Love You.

Lie To Me. She Whispered. I Love You. He Said.

Fine,' Jared Snapped. 'but If You Try Cuddling Up To Me Tonight... So Help Me, O'shea." Ian Chuckled. ' Not To Sound Overly Arrogant, But To Be Perfectly Honest, Jared, Were I So Inclined, I Think I Could Do Better.

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 Way You Move — You Orient Yourself Around Him Without Even Thinking About It. When He Moves, Even A Little Bit, You Adjust Your Position At The Same Time. Like Magnets… Or Gravity. You’re Like A… Satellite, Or Something.

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

My First Language, The True Language Of The Soul Spoken Only On Our Planet Of Origin, Had No Word For Betrayal Or Traitor. Or Even Loyalty- Because Without The Opposite, The Concept Had No Meaning.

I, The Soul Called Wanderer, Love You, Human Ian. And That Will Never Change, No Matter What I Might Become.

Do You Want Me To Sing To You? I'll Sing All Night If It Will Keep The Bad Dreams Away.

I Can Feel What You’re Feeling Now — And You Are Worth It.

Bella: "should I Be Afraid?" Edward: "terrified."

The Thing People Don't Realize, God Bless Them, Is That My Books Are Supposed To Suck.

But What If It Were You? What If You Were Stuffed In A Human Body And Let Loose On This Planet Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Your Own Kind? What If You Were Such A Good Person That You Tried To Save The Life That You'd Taken That You Almost Died Trying To Get Her Back To Her Family? What If You Then Found Yourself Surrounded By Violent Aliens Who Hated You And Tried To Hurt You And Tried To Murder You Over And Over Again? What If You Just Kept Doing Whatever You Could To Save And Heal People Despite That? Wouldn't You Deserve A Life Too? Wouldn't You Have Earned That Much?

Worst High Five Ever." - Diego

I Knew It Would Begin With The End, And The End Would Look Like Death To These Eyes. I Had Been Warned.

Did Ya Get In A Couple Of Good Swipes?" Emmett Asked Eagerly. "no! Of Course Not!" "no, Not Really? You Really Didnt Attack Him?" "emmett!" I Protested. "aw, What A Waste. And Here You're Probably The One Person Who Could Take Him- Since He Can't Get Into Your Head To Cheat- And You Had A Perfect Excuse Too. I've Been Dying To See How He'd Do Without That Advantage.

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

You Don't Get A Lot Of Suicidal Vampires.

I Grinned At Him, Feeling More Enthusiastic About My Plan Now That He Was On Board. Rosalie Was A Pain, But I Would Always Owe Her One For Choosing Emmett; No One Had A Better Brother Than Mine.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?" Jacob Black New Moon

It Was A Strange Combination To Absorb - The Everyday Concerns Of The Town Doctor Stuck In The Middle Of A Discussion Of His Early Days In Seventeenth-century London.

My Name Is Jared Howe. I Haven't Spoken To Another Human Being In More Than Two Years, So I'm Sure I Must Seem...a Little Crazy To You.

"you Are The Noblest, Purest Creature I've Ever Met. The Universe Will Be A Darker Place Without You," He Whispered.

I Don't Have Any Leeches On My Speed Dial." — Jacob Black

They Call Her My Singer—because Her Blood Sings For Me.

“bella, I've Already Expended A Great Deal Of Personal Effort At This Point To Keep You Alive. I'm Not About To Let You Behind The Wheel Of A Vehicle When You Can't Even Walk Straight. Besides, Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk,” He Quoted With A Chuckle. I Could Smell The Unbearably Sweet Fragrance Coming Off His Chest. “drunk?” I Objected. “you're Intoxicated By My Very Presence.” He Was Grinning That Playful Smirk Again.

The Right Thing Isn't Always Real Obvious. Sometimes The Right Thing For One Person Is The Wrong Thing For Someone Else. So...good Luck Figuring That Out.

Why Can You Believe The Lie, But Not The Truth?

If Your Life Was All You Had To Give Your Beloved, How Could You Not Give It?

"you’re Exactly Like Charlie." She'd Sighed, Resigned. "once You Make Up Your Mind, There Is No Reasoning With You. Of Course, Exactly Like Charlie, You Stick By Your Decisions, Too."

But Now You're Unhappy," He Pointed Out. "and?" I Challenged. "that Doesn't Seem Fair." He Shrugged, But His Eyes Were Still Intense. I Laughed Without Humour. "hasn't Anyone Told You? Life Isn't Fair." "i Believe I Have Heard That Somewhere Before," He Agreed Dryly.

Just Like A Kitten That Thinks Its A Tiger.

Out Of All The Things About Me That Could Frighten You, You Worry About My Driving.

Twilight Edward

If He'd Done Something To Harm Her, I Would Annihilate Him.

Sometimes You Have To Learn To Love What's Good For You.

Funny How It Kept Hitting Me, Like Each New Thing Was A Surprise. When Was I Going To Stop Being Surprised?

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.

Ew. Someone Put The Dog Out, "rosalie Murmured Wrinkling Her Nose. Have You Herd This One, Psycho? How Do A Blond's Brain Cells Die?" She Didn't Say Anything. Well?" I Asked."do You Know The Punch Line Or Not?" She Looked Pointedly At The Tv And Ignored Me. Has She Heard It?" I Asked Edward. No." He Answered. Awesome. So You'll Enjoy This, Bloodsucker--a Blond's Brain Cells Die Alone.

Maybe You'll Get Lucky." I Said Bleakly, Lurching On My Feet. "maybe I'll Get Hit By A Truck On My Way Back.

I Already Know How Strong You Are. You Didn't Have To Break The Furniture." —bella Swan

Could A Dead, Frozen Heart Beat Again? It Felt Like Mine Was About To.

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

We're A Bit Sensitive To Blood Around Here. I'm Sure You Can Understand That.

Non-reality Was Black, And It Didn't Hurt So Much.

Just Because You Want Something To Be True Doesn’t Make It That Way.” -the Host

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

You Are Safe Inside Your Mind. No One Can Reach You There.

You’ve Got To Have A Little More Confidence In Us Than That. It’s Insulting.

Nice Girl Who Knew Cars. Wow. I Stared At Her Face Harder, Wishing I Knew How To Make It Work. C’mon, Jake – Imprint Already.

Jacob's Little Smirk Became A Full-blown Grin, And I Knew He Was Picturing Charlie Showing Up To Arrest Him. This Grin Was Too Bitter, Too Full Of Mocking To Satisfy Me. This Wasn't The Smile I'd Been Waiting To See.

I Thought You Were Supposed To Be Pretending I Don’t Exist, Not Irritating Me To Death.

I Didn't Want The Life That Made Sense. Not If The Chaos Meant I Could Have Bella.

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.

I Gave You Life. You’re Wasting It.

He Was A Different Edward Than The One I Had Known. And I Felt All The More Besotted By Him. It Would Cause Me Physical Pain To Be Separated From Him Now.

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

I’m Afraid You’re Going To Have To Make A Choice.

From That First Little Touch, The Whole World Had Shifted. Where Before There Was Just One Thing I Could Not Live Without, Now There Were Two. There Was No Division – My Love Was Not Split Between Them Now; It Wasn’t Like That. It Was More Like My Heart Had Grown, Swollen Up To Twice Its Size In That Moment. All That Extra Space, Already Filled. The Increase Was Almost Dizzying.

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.

"happy Birthday," He Sighed, And Leaned Down To Touch His Lips To Mine. I Reached Up On My Toes To Make The Kiss Last Longer When He Pulled Away. He Smiled My Favorite Crooked Smile, And Then He Disappeared Into The Darkness.

The Seeker Needed A Nice Long Lifetime Eating Sunshine.

Bachelor Parties Are Designed For Those Who Are Sad To See The Passing Of Their Single Days. I Couldn’t Be More Eager To Have Mine Behind Me. So There’s Really No Point.

Alice: "no One Will Dare To Call You Plain When I'm Through With You." Bella: "only Because They're Afraid You'll Suck Their Blood.

I'm Not Dangerous At All I Never Hurt Grandpa Or Sue Or Billy. I Love Humans. And Wolf-people Like My Jacob."renesmee Dropped Edward's Hand To Reach Back And Pat Jacob's Arm.

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

I’m Just Going To Do What I Want Now, And Let The Chips Fall Where They May.

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.

It’s Not Like Love At First Sight, Really. It’s More Like… Gravity Moves. When You See Her, Suddenly It’s Not The Earth Holding You Here Anymore. She Does. And Nothing Matters More Than Her. And You Would Do Anything For Her, Be Anything For Her… You Become Whatever She Needs You To Be, Whether That’s A Protector, Or A Lover, Or A Friend, Or A Brother.

The Smile Broke Across His Face The Way The Sunrise Set The Clouds On Fire.

Sister, They Send You Out For One And You Bring Back Two... And A Half. Such A Clever Girl.

Try Not To Trip," She Added. "we Don't Have Time For A Concussion Today." I Groaned. That Would Be Just Like Me - Ruin Everything, Destroy The World, In A Moment Of Klutziness.

My Life And His Were Twisted Into A Single Strand. Cut One, And You Cut Both. If He Were Gone, I Would Not Be Able To Live Through That. If I Were Gone, He Wouldn't Live Through It, Either.

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

Her Existence Alone Was Excuse Enough To Justify The Creation Of The Entire World.

I'm Trying To Keep"― He Huffed, Shifting His Weight As The Treetop Bounced Him―"my Promise!" I Blinked My Wet Blurry Eyes, Suddenly Sure That I Was Dreaming. "when Did You Ever Promise To Kill Yourself Falling Out Of Charlie's Tree?

When I Left You, Bella, I Left You Bleeding. Jacob Was The One To Stitch You Back Up Again. That Was Bound To Leave Its Mark - On Both Of You.

I Wondered To Myself Why No One Else Had Seen Him Standing So Far Away, Before He Was Suddenly, Impossibly Saving My Life. With Chagrin, I Realized The Probable Cause - No One Else Was As Aware Of Edward As I Always Was. No One Else Watched Him The Way I Did. How Pitiful.

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.

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.

You Are...well, Not Exactly The Love Of My Life, Because I Expect To Love You For Much Longer Than That. The Love Of My Existence." -bella

Love Of My Life

That's The Funny Thing About Knowing You Can't Have Something. It Makes You Desperate.

Hey, Rosalie? Do You Know How To Drown A Blonde? Stick A Mirror To The Bottom Of A Pool.

In Summary, She Did Jump Off A Cliff, But She Wasn't Trying To Kill Herself. Bella's All About The Extreme Sports These Days." I Flushed And Turned My Eyes Straight Ahead, Looking After The Dark Shadow That I Could No Longer See. I Could Imagine What He Was Hearing In Alice's Thoughts Now. Near-drowings, Stalking Vampires, Werewolf Friends . . . "hm," Edward Said Curtly, And The Casual Tone Of His Voice Was Gone.

I Almost Took The Door Off The Car

I Didn’t Want To Kill Girls… Even Vampire Girls. Though I Might Make An Exception For That Blonde.

Everyone Needs A Little Edward In Their Life

I'm Not Like A Car You Can Fix Up. I'm Never Gonna Run Right" Bella

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.

Believe Me, I Wanted To Say. I've Tried. Oh, And Also, I'm Wretchedly In Love With You. Keep It Light.

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

Love Gave Someone The Power To Break You. I'd Been Broken Beyond Repair.

I'll Be Back So Soon You Won't Have Time To Miss Me. Look After My Heart I've Left It With You

No One Could Be Still Like Edward.

Dad, I Wrote. I'm With Alice. Edward's In Trouble. You Can Ground Me When I Get Back. I Know It's A Bad Time. So Sorry. Love You So Much. Bella.

Life And Love Go On.

So, Instead Of Panicking, I Closed My Eyes And Spent The Twenty Minutes' Drive With Edward. I Imagined That I Had Stayed At The Airport To Meet Edward. I Visualized How I Would Stand On My Toes, The Sooner To See His Face. How Quickly, How Gracefully He Would Move Through The Crowds Of People Separating Us. And Then I Would Run To Close Those Last Few Feet Between Us - Reckless As Always - And I Would Be In His Marble Arms, Finally Safe.

Holy Crow!" ~bella Swan

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.

Is My Mom All Right?" "she's Perfectly Fine. Don't Worry, Bella, I Have No Quarrel With Her. Unless You Didn't Come Alone, Of Course." Light, Amused. "i'm Alone." I'd Never Been More Alone In My Entire Life.

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

You’re Monopolizing The Bride,” Emmett Said, Coming Up Behind Edward’s Shoulder. “let Me Dance With My Little Sister. This Could Be My Last Chance To Make Her Blush.

However, I Can Read Hers- She'll Be Waiting To Ambush You In Class.

You Can't Trust A Vampire, Trust Me

I Felt Like I Was Trapped In One Of Those Terrifying Nightmares, The One Where You Have To Run, Run Till Your Lungs Burst, But You Can't Make Your Body Move Fast Enough... But This Was No Dream, And, Unlike The Nightmare, I Wasn't Running For My Life: I Was Racing To Save Something Infinitely More Precious. My Own Life Meant Little To Me Today.

Happy And Sad, Elated And Miserable, Secure And Afraid, Loved And Denied, Patient And Angry, Peaceful And Wild, Complete And Empty...all Of It. I Would Feel Everything. It Would All Be Mine.

Good Or Bad? Good. That's What I Thought

Forbidden To Remember, Terrified To Forget; It Was A Hard Line To Walk.

I Thought I'd Explained It Clearly Before. Bella, I Can't Live In A World Where You Don't Exist.

I Could Really Appreciate Him Now - Could Properly See Every Beautiful Line Of His Perfect Face, Of His Long, Flawless Body With My Strong New Eyes, Every Angle And Every Plane Of Him. I Could Taste His Pure, Vivid Scent On My Tongue And Feel The Unbelievable Silkiness Of His Marble Skin Under My Sensitive Fingertips.

Who Gives An Island As A Gift? I Frowned. I Hadn’t Realized Edward’s Extreme Generosity Was A Learned Behavior. Bella

I Was Perfect- Not Healed, But As If There Had Never Been A Wound In The First Place

Now, We'll Have To Hang Out Here Until We're Sure Jared's Really Gone And Can't Catch Us." He Grinned Conspiratorially. "then We'll Have Some Fun!" I Remembered That His Idea Of Fun Was Usually Along The Lines Of An Armed Standoff.

I Tried To Remember How To Exhale. I Had To Look Away Before It Came Back To Me.

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.

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

And He Was My Friend. Not That He Wouldn't Kill Me If Things Turned Out That Way, But He Wouldn't Like Doing It. With Humans, What More Could You Ask For A Friend?

Amazing," Edward Muttered. "how Can Someone So Tiny Be So Annoying?" Alice Laughed. "it's A Talent.

I Want To Be A Monster Too

It Was All Very Childish. Why On Earth Should Edward Have To Leave For Jacob To Come Over? Weren't We Past This Immaturity?

Yes, Heaven Forbid I Not Be Protected From Tanks.

History Was Easy, But I Don't Know About The Calculus. It Seemed Like It Was Making Sense, So That Probably Means I Failed.

Jacob Was A Gift From The Gods.

He Was Right – She Was Beating Herself Up About Hurting His Feelings. The Girl Was A Classic Martyr. She’d Totally Been Born In The Wrong Century. She Should Have Lived Back When She Could Have Gotten Herself Fed To Some Lions For A Good Cause.

It Will Be As If I Never Existed

Ian Squeezed My Hand And Leaned In To Whisper Through All The Hair. His Voice Was So Low That I Was The Only One Who Could Hear. 'i Held You In My Hand, Wanderer. And You Were So Beautiful.

Our Relationship Couldn't Continue To Balance, As It Did, On The Point Of A Knife. We Would Fall Off One Edge Or The Other, Depending Entirely Upon His Decision, Or His Instincts. My Decision Was Made, Made Before I'd Ever Consciously Chosen, And I Was Committed To Seeing It Through. Because There Was Nothing More Terrifying To Me, More Excruciating, Than The Thought Of Turning Away From Him. It Was An Impossibility.

The Author Of The Extremely Successful Twilight Series Was Rejected By 14 Different Publishers Before The 15th Picked Up Twilight. What Would All The Tweens Do If Bella And Edward Hadn't Been Brought To Life?!

Becoming A Vampire Is Forever. You Don't Get To Change Your Mind About It Later. For Me, I Think That's One Of The Big Drawbacks With Anything That's Permanent. How Do You Know How You're Going To Feel In Five Years Or 10 Years? Even With A Tattoo.

You Never Know How Much Time You'll Have.

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.

Kryptonite Doesn’t Bother Me, Either.

It Took Only Seconds For Me To Make These Discoveries, But Even In That Short Time, My Stomach Nearly Jumped Through My Mouth Trying To Reach The Food.

Because There Was Nothing More Terrifying To Me, More Excruciating, Than The Thought Of Turning Away From Him. It Was An Impossibility.

Why Didn't I Just Walk Away? Oh Right, Because I'm A Idiot.

Do You Remember When You Told Me I Couldn't See Myself Clearly? You Obviously Have The Same Blindness

Uncle Jeb," We Croaked In Surprise. "you Found Us." "well, Now," He Said, And His Gruff Voice Brought Back A Hundred Memories. "well, Now, Here's A Pickle.

Edward,' She Mumbled Softly. She Was Dreaming Of Me. Could A Dead, Frozen Heart Beat Again? It Felt Like Mine Was About To. 'stay,' She Sighed. 'don't Go. Please... Don't Go

You Gonna Back Down So Easy, Little Sister?. Not Much Wild About You, Is There? I Bet That Cottage Doesn't Have A Scratch. Did Edward Tell You How Many Houses Rose And I Smashed?

As A Child, I Actually Wanted To Be A Lawyer. That Was The Goal. I Didn't Plan To Be An Author, And Then Even Less, Did I Plan To Produce Movies. It All Just Happened.

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.

His Skin Was A Pretty Colour, It Made Me Jealous. Jacob Noticed My Scrutiny. What?" He Asked, Suddenly Self-conscious. "nothing. I Just Hadn't Realised Before. Did You Know, You're Sort Of Beautiful?" Once The Words Slipped Out, I Worried That He Might Take My Implusive Observation The Wrong Way. But Jacob Rolled His Eyes. "you Hit Your Head Pretty Hard, Didn't You?" "i'm Serious." Well, Then, Thanks. Sort Of." I Grinned. "you're Sort Of Welcome.

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.

So This Was Different. I Was Amazing Now - To Them And To Myself. It Was Like I Had Been Born To Be A Vampire. The Idea Made Me Want To Laugh, But It Also Made Me Want To Sing. I Had Found My True Place In The World, The Place I Fit, The Place I Shined.

Just You Wait Till I’m A Vampire! I’m Not Going To Be Sitting On The Sidelines Next Time.

Edward: It Wasn't The Worst Night Of My Life. Jake: Did It Make The Top Ten? Edward: Possibly. But, If I Had Been Able To Take Your Place Last Night, It Would Not Have Made The Top Ten Of The Best Nights Of My Life. Dream About That.

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.

She Was Thinking What I Think She Was Thinking, Wasn't She?

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.

In My Head, Carlisle’s Kind Eyes Did Not Judge Me. I Knew That He Would Forgive Me For This Horrible Act That I Would Do. Because He Loved Me. Because He Thought I Was Better Than I Was. And He Would Still Love Me, Even As I Now Proved Him Wrong.
