new moon

Edward is gone! I cant believe it. And neither can Bella, just recently has she started to pretend to live, but nothing gets past Charlie, her father. He is worried about her, ever since Edward left Bella cant seem to want to do anything. But on a visit to Port Angelo with her one time friend Jessica, Bella sees some men that look strangely familiar, like the men that were once following her but Edward saved her from that one, and he was no where to be found. Why would he care anyway? But as she gets closer to the men, she hears an angry voice in her head, could it really be him…. It sounds so real… and so close. It seems that a rush of adrenaline and danger brings out this hallucination, if that is what it is? Bella cannot wait to hear his voice again, it lets her remember without the pain, the hole in her chest doesn’t get any bigger. so this can’t hurt can it? Not now at least, she will pay later with the nightmares of nothingness, nothing but the trees, because he left but that doesn’t stop her from searching still and that is the scariest part and why she wakes up screaming every morning. Danger must be the key that triggers these hallucinations. So Bella goes in search of just that: danger. It may not bring him back, but at least its not painful. So when Bella happens upon some motorcycles for free she decides to fix them. All mechanics in town are too expensive and anyways if she went in town then Charlie would find out. So she decides to pay a visit to a family friend. Jacob Black. He seemed eager enough to help the last time she saw him, and he was a good mechanic and Bella has been saving up for collage, just in case Edward decided not to change her into a vampire; which doesn’t seem likely seeing he is no longer around. Bella brings the broken motorcycles to La Push, the small reservation just outside of Forks, to ask him to help her fix them. And so begins Bella and Jacobs friendship, but is that all it is to Jacob?

quarter 2 outside reading post 1

So i guess i have given into reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The book started off rather slow, but now it is picking up the pace and i am now as much in love with Edward as Bella is. i love the fact that he dazzles everyone around him and doesn't even notice. In chapter eight, Bella decided to go dress shopping with her friends Jessica and Angela for a dance that she isnt even going to. after spending the day shopping Bella tells the two other girls to go off and look around Port Angelo, while she goes in search of the book store. After finding the lame book store, Bella goes in search of a slightly more practical looking store. A few wrong turns late and there are some mysterious, slightly scary men following her. 

Edward to the rescue. 

but it is not the Edward he wants her to know, he is angry and trying to keep himself from going into a murderous rage. he tells Bella to distract him with something completely random. she goes on to rant about her assumed date with Tyler to prom, and is upset that even Edward knew about this lie. Once calmed down, Edward takes Bella to the italian restaurant where Bella was to meet Angela and Jessica for dinner, but upon arriving, jessica and angela are leaving. this works to Edward's advantage and he offers to take Bella home. the waitress that is serving the two is going out of her way to catch Edward's attention, but he doesnt seem to notice. He asks Bella to share her theories about him, but she is to embarrassed to share and asks him how he found her. Edward "hypothetically" tells Bella that he can read minds, but for some reason cannot read hers. Why is Edward so drawn to Bella, when he obviously knows being around her is bad news? i guess i will just have to keep reading. i'll keep you posted.
