“This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, Jacob was in pain. Right now, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It was more than that I owed him. It was because his pain hurt me, too. Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.”

“The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!”“That's all I needed to hear.”

“I lied, and I'm so sorry—sorry because I hurt you, sorry because it was a worthless effort. Sorry that I couldn't protect you from what I am. I lied to save you, and it didn't work. I'm sorry.But how could you believe me? After all the thousand times I've told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?”I didn't answer. I was too shocked to form a rational response.“I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn't want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you!”

“I thought I'd explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist.”

“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.”

“And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won't approve of you, correct?”“That's right,” I answered immediately, hiding my surprise at his casual use of the word.He shook his head. “You're incredible.”

“You…made…me…faint,” I accused him dizzily.“What am I going to do with you?” he groaned in exasperation. “Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!”I laughed weakly, letting his arms support me while my head spun.“So much for being good at everything,” he sighed.“That's the problem.” I was still dizzy. “You're too good. Far, far too good.”

“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.”

“His gold eyes grew very soft. “You said you loved me.”“You knew that already,” I reminded him, ducking my head.“It was nice to hear, just the same.”I hid my face against his shoulder.“I love you,” I whispered.“You are my life now,” he answered simply.There was nothing more to say for the moment. He rocked us back and forth as the room grew lighter.”

“How old are you?”“Seventeen,” he answered promptly.“And how long have you been seventeen?”His lips twitched as he stared at the road. “A while,” he admitted at last.”

“I hear voices in my mind and you're worried that you're the freak,” he laughed.”

“I had the feeling Edward wasn't the kind of person anyone got used to.”

“You really shouldn’t do that to people," I criticized."It’s hardly fair.""Do what?""Dazzle them like that – she’s probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now."He seemed confused."Oh come on," I said dubiously. "You have to know the effect you have on people."He tilted his head to one side, and his eyes were curious. "I dazzle people?""You haven’t noticed? Do you think everybody gets their way so easily?"He ignored my questions. "Do I dazzle you?""Frequently," I admitted.”

“Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair.”

“Kiss me, Jacob. Kiss me, and then come back.”

“Odd as this might sound, I suppose I’m glad you’re here, Jacob. [Edward Cullen]”

“Now and then I see something in her eyes, and I wonder if I’ve ever grasped how much pain she’s really in.”

“She just keeps saying "He’s gone.”

“I promise that this will be the last time you’ll see me. I won’t come back. I won’t put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I’d never existed.”

“And yet, I found I could survive. I was alert, I felt the pain - the aching loss that radiated out from my chest, sending wracking waves of hurt through my limbs and head - but it was manageable. I could live through it. I didn't feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I'd grown strong enough to bear it.”

“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.”

“The more you loved someone, the less sense anything makes.”

“Holy crow!" ~Bella Swan”

“I'm a pro at weird.”

“I've never thought about dying, But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.”

“You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me.”

“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.”

“Body and soul. Two different things”

“That maybe you should make the most of what timeyou have? That you shouldlive while you’re alive?”

“Next time you want to hit mehit me with a baseball bat or a crowbar!”

“It's over. We've all been sentenced to die.”

“But most significant in this tidal wave of happiness was the surest fact of all: I was with Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen”

“Dating a older woman- hot" Emmet Cullen”

“Sometimes, fact mixed with fiction so thoroughly that, though no lies were told, it was hard to remember what was strictly true.”

“You may have taken the planet, but you will lose this game!”

“He's like a drug for you, Bella.”
