New Moon #1 (1-94)


In the beginning of New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, the Cullens leave Forks and Bella becomes closer to Jacob Black. A quote that I really found interesting in this section was after the Cullens left and Bella finally thought that she could live without Edward. She thinks, "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" (93). Bella really takes Edward leaving very hard even though she has Charlie, her father, and her new friend Jacob. Jacob has a huge crush on Bella and she doesn't even care. All Bella does is mope around and miss Edward. The idea of time is much more sensitive to her than it might be to other people, since Edward is immortal. She's so afraid of aging and becoming older than him and she desperately wants to become a vampire so she can be with him forever.
