After Alice took Bella to the Volturi family to find Edward, they returned to Forks, WA. There, Edward proposed to Bella which sort of freaked Bella out. He told her, "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything" (514). This quote really shows how much Edward loves and needs Bella. It also gives insight into what Edward is thinking instead of only Bella.
Since Bella desperately wants to become a vampire, the Cullen family decides to take a vote. The majority of the vote was for her being a vampire. Edward still wasn't pleased, so he compromised. He promised Bella that after she graduates then she can become a vampire.

In this part of New Moon Alice has come back to Forks, Washington to visit Bella. She stays with her for a couple of days because she's extremely worried about Edward. "I don’t think he ever planned to outlive you by long" (418). Alice says this to Bella because Edward wants Bella to stay human forever. He says that he'll stay with her for as long as she lives even though she'll get old and he'll stay young. Bella starts to worry too because Edward thinks that she killed herself when she was cliff diving. "We may already be too late. I saw him going to the Volturi… and asking to die" (419). I can relate to this because it can be very confusing when people play "telephone". Like how when Alice saw into the future when Bella jumped, she told Edward what she saw. People I know hear things from other people and exaggerate when they tell everybody else so things can get really out of hand.

In New Moon, Bella starts to hang out with Jacob and his werewolf friends. Bella met Sam Uley's girlfriend, Emily, who has a huge scar on her face from Sam probably attacking her. Also, Bella does more dangerous things in order to hear Edward's voice. She's still not over Edward at all, and she remembers before he left when he was at her house watching Romeo and Juliet. "Romeo wouldn’t change his mind. That’s why people still remembered his name, always twined with hers: Romeo and Juliet. That’s why it was a good story. 'Juliet gets dumped and ends up with Paris' would have never been a hit" (371). This quote makes me think that Bella just is completely lost without Edwarde even though I feel really bad for Jacob because he really likes her. Bella won't even give him a chance because she's convinced that she's so in love with Edward.

In this part of New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, Bella comes across Laurent in the meadow where Edward once took her. Bella thinks that Laurent his clan aren't targeting her anymore but he informs her that Victoria, another one of his clan, is after her. He says that since Edward killed James (in Twilight) that it would only be fair to kill Bella as a mate for a mate type of thing. Since Laurent is so "thirsty" he decides that maybe he should just take care of Bella for himself. Fortunately, a pack of wolves chase Laurent out and save Bella. "Granted, the wolf was monstrous in size, but it was just an animal. What reason would a vampire have for fearing an animal?"(243). This is when I had the idea that Jacob, Sam Uley, and his other new found friends were actually vampires. In Twilight, Jacob told Bella of an ancient folk tale that the Cullens were vampires and the Blacks descended from wolves, and were called "protectors". The werewolves are supposed to protect humans from their enemies, vampires. Since the whole thing about the Cullens turned out to be true, I thought that the Blacks were definitely going to turn out to be vampires.
