OMG, I cried so much when edward left bella. I have never cried so much in my life. I could really feel what Bella was feeling. I felt so bad for her and could really understand. I still don't know how Edward could do it, how he could leave. They were so much in love, but then again he was doing this to save her. He wanted to do what was best for her, even if he had to hurt himself so much. He has to live forever knowing that he had hurt her so much. This was a major twist in the story because now that edward is gone, what is going to happen with the story? well, this is where jacob comes in. he shows bella that she can be happy again and that he is always there for her. I dont know how anybody can be so against Jacob, when he was only ever nice. He was only ever good. so how did edward leaving effect you?
