New Moon #2 (95-189)

In this part of the book, Bella has been spending alot of time with Jacob doing somewhat dangerous things. She realises that whenever she does dangerous things, she can hear Edward's voice in her head telling her to be careful. This of course makes Bella wanting more to do dangerous things since it's the only way that she can disregard his promise: "It will be as if I never existed". He says this to her because he wants her to keep her soul and be a happy normal human. He thinks that if he's in her life than she will miss out on things that he doens't want her to. She of course disagrees with him because she's convinced that she can't ever live with out him. It seems as if when people break up with people they say they want them to just forget about them and move on with their life. That's impossible to do though, whether you were completely in love and can't imagine living your life without them or not. I think it's especially hard for Bella because of the impact he had on her because of the shock that he's a vampire and because they fell in love.
