1. I could imagine the frustration pulling his black eyebrows together and crumpling his forehead. If I’d been there, I might have laughed. Don’t give yourself a brain hemorrhage, Jacob, I would have told him. Just spit it out. (Bella)
2. The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something meer expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when u used them in casual conversation. (Bella)
3. There’s no law that says I can’t cook in my own house. (Charlie)
4. It worked — your cooking skills have me soft as a marshmallow. (Bella)
5. So I’m thinking maybe u deserve a parole for good behavior. For a teenager, you’re amazingly non-whiney. (Charlie)
6. Isn’t Edward up for a little healthy competition? (Charlie)
7. u and Billy gossip like old women. (Bella)
8. I want to be a monster, too. (Bella)
9. Monsters are not a joke, Bella. (Edward)
10. u know it’s out of the vraag for u to be around a werewolf unprotected, Bella. And it would break the treaty if any of us kruis over onto their land. Do u want us to start a war? (Edward)
11. If we could bottle your luck, we’d have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands. (Edward)
12. If Jacob hadn’t helped me… I’m not sure what u would have come home pagina to. I owe him better than this, Edward. (Bella)
13. I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years. (Edward)
14. If I’d never left, u wouldn’t feel the need to go risk your life to comfort a dog. (Edward)
15. Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-t-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I’d allow it, she’d love to dress me every dag — perhaps several times a dag — like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll. (Bella)
16. I’m sure I still have boundaries — like the continental U.S., for example. (Bella)
17. u know how I am with tools. No pain was inflicted intentionally. (Bella)
18. The outside world holds no interest for me without you. (Edward)
19. It’s not like I’m headed off to Vegas to be a showgirl of anything. I’m going to see Mom. (Bella)
20. Interceded? u threw me to the sharks! (Bella)
21. Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen. They’d sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they’d each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes. (Bella)
22. Please tell me u are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie. (Bella)
23. I really wish u were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But… I am a… virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status. (Bella)
24. Shut your window if u want me to stay away tonight. I’ll understand. (Edward)
25. Renée is so much more… perceptive than Charlie in some ways. It was making me jumpy. (Bella)
26. There’s something… strange about the way u two are together. The way he watches u — it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save u of something. (Renee)
27. The way u verplaats — u orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, u adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… of gravity. You’re like a… satellite, of something. (Renee)
28. With a sense of astonishment, I realized that Jacob looked dangerous to them. How odd. (Bella)
29. Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial. (Jacob)
30. Edward cut him off mid-sentence, and his face was abruptly frightening — truly frightening. For a second, he looked like… like a vampire. (Bella)
31. I wasn’t about to send u off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive. (Edward)
32. I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run u back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history. (Edward)
33. Did u see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down. (Mike)
34. I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much meer fun with u around. (Emmett)
35. So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death. (Bella)
36. I’ll be back so soon u won’t have time to miss me. Look after my hart-, hart — I’ve left it with you. (Edward)
37. Alice was certainly just as capable of crippling my truck as Edward was. (Bella)
38. The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent! (Jacob)
39. I love him. Not because he’s beautiful of because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand? (Bella)
40. u know, Jacob, you’re awfully self-righteous — considering that you’re a werewolf and all. (Bella)
41. They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature. (Jacob)
42. What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here. (Jacob)
43. Normal humans can’t throw motorcycles around the way u can. (Bella)
44. Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human. (Jacob)
45. Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.(bella)
46. u think I should be as forgiving as u are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs. (Jacob)
47. Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice? (Bella)
48. Did u seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV. (Jacob)
49. I’m a pro at weird. (Bella)
50. I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. u are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters. (Bella)
51. I believe that. But I want u to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected door territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. u are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love u for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can kom bij the party, too. (Bella)
52. Well… don’t be offended, but u smell like a dog. (Edward)
53. You’re kidnapping me, aren’t you? (Bella)
54. Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior. (Bella)
55. u are in trouble. Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame volgende to what is waiting for u at home. (Bella)
56. This hostage stuff is fun. (Alice)
57. Porsches as bribes and king-sized beds in houses where nobody slept — it was beyond irritating. (Bella)
58. If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now. (Rosalie)
59. Why don’t u just lock me in the basement, and forget the sugar coating? (Bella)
60. So what’s the latest pack scandal? (Bella)
61. It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s meer like… gravity moves. When u see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding u here anymore. She does. And nothing matters meer than her. And u would do anything for her, be anything for her… u become whatever she needs u to be, whether that’s a protector, of a lover, of a friend, of a brother. (Jacob)
62. I traded a lifetime of servitude for a box of conversation hearts. That’s not something I’m likely to forget. (Bella)
63. You’d be better off dead. I rather u were. (Jacob)
64. I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days — and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame. (Bella)
65. u can hold me hostage any time u want. (Bella)
66. You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable. (Edward)
67. u are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. (Edward)
68. There’s… well, there’s this other problem that’s slightly meer worrisome than a bratty teenage werewolf…(Bella)
69. Is it really so impossible to wear clothes, Jacob? (Bella)
70. What do I look like, a pack mule? (Jacob)
71. Does my being half-naked bother you? (Jacob)
72. What’s it like — having a vampire for a boyfriend? (Jacob)
73. What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend? (Jacob)
74. One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes u smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively. (Jacob)
75. Okay! Time for the werewolf to get out! (Bella)
76. It gets easier. After a few decades, everyone u know is dead. Problem solved. (Edward)
77. Do u ever think that your life might be easier if u weren’t in love with me? (Edward)
78. It was stupid to want to go hang out with a bunch of big idiot wolf-boys right now when there was so much that was frightening and unexplained going on. Of course, that was exactly why I wanted to go. I wanted to escape the death threats, for just a few hours . . . to be the less-mature, more-reckless Bella who could laugh it off with Jacob, if only briefly. (Bella)
79. Hanging out with no one but extremely dexterous people all the time was going to give me a complex. (Bella)
80. Other than a few teasing complaints — mostly door Paul — about keeping the bloodsucker stench downwind, I was treated like someone who belonged. (Bella)
81. What’s the best part? u swallowing an entire cow whole? (Bella)
82. And your chocolate vacht, bont reflects what? How sweet u are? (Sam)
83. How can someone so tiny door so annoying? (Edward)
84. If there were any way for me to become human for u — no matter what the price was, I would pay it. (Edward)
85. I’m not that girl, Edward. The one who gets married right out of high school like some small-town hick who got knocked up door her boyfriend! (Bella)
86. My instincts told me that there was danger, that the angel had meant it when she spoke of killing, but my judgment overruled my instincts. I had not been taught to fear women, but to protect them. (Jasper)
87. Jasper shows up, covered in battle scars, towing this little freak who greets them all door name, knows everything about them, and wants to know which room she can verplaats into. (Edward)
88. I hate being babysat. (Bella)
89. Do me a favor and challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. It would be a good experience for him. (Edward)
90. I wanted to make both of them get out of their cars and shake hands and be vrienden — be Edward and Jacob rather than vampire and werewolf. It was as if I had those two stubborn magnets in my hands again, and I was holding them together, trying to force nature to reverse herself… (Bella)
91. Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life. (Jacob
92. I miss u when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you. (Bella)
93. u can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — of not at all. (Jacob)
94. u love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me. (Jacob)
95. Until your hart-, hart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that u have options. (Jacob)
96. I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck, u pushy, obnoxious, moronic DOG! (Bella)
97. I’ll give u passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion. (Bella)
98. If I think about u tonight, it will be because I’m having a nightmare. (Bella)
99. When he left, u spent all your energy holding on to him. u could be happy if u let go. u could be happy with me. (Jacob)
100. That was not kissing back, that was trying to get u the hell off of me, u idiot. (Bella)
101. volgende time u want to hit me, use a baseball bat of a crowbar, okay? (Jacob)
102. I’m not going to kill u now, because it would upset Bella. (Edward)
103. But if u ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, of if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if u return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, u will be running with three legs. Do u understand that, mongrel? (Edward)
104. She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair. (Edward)
105. I punched a werewolf in the face. (Bella)
106. I guess I could throw in a few extra homicides, if it makes Jasper happy. Why not? (Bella)
107. Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire! (Bella)
108. Well, everyone can relax. Nobody’s trying to exterminate the Cullens after all. (Bella)
109. No matter what side I’m on, if someone kisses u without your permission, u should be able to make your feelings clear without hurting yourself. (Charlie)
110. Everyone will come. They’re all dying to see the inside of the reclusive Cullens’ mystery house. (Edward)
111. In case my right hook was too subtle for you, let me translate: that was me uninviting you. (Bella)
112. We have a few advantages, dog. It will be an even fight. (Jasper)
113. People — well, vampires and werewolves really, but still — people I loved were going to get hurt. Hurt because of me. Again. I wished my bad luck would focus a little meer carefully. (Bella)
114. u truly are one frightening little monster. (Jasper)
115. To think it’s come to this, though! Trusting werewolves! (Edward)
116. The imprinting compulsion is one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed in my life, and I’ve seen some strange things. (Edward)
117. The pack mind is mesmerizing. All thinking together and then separately at the same time. There’s so much to read! (Edward)
118. Never be afraid to tell me how u feel, Bella. If this is what u need… u are my first priority. (Edward)
119. Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut. (Bella)
120. u worry too much, Bella. You’re going to go prematurely gray. (Alice)
121. Edward is such a grouch when he doesn’t get his way. (Alice)
122. I’m the only one who has permission to hold u hostage, remember? (Edward)
123. I leaned into him, ducking my head under his arm and cuddling into his side. It probably felt similar to snuggling with Michelangelo’s David, except that this perfect marble creature wrapped his arms around me to pull me closer. (Bella)
124. Listen to your hart-, hart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are u all right? (Edward)
125. I’ve already made the largest concession door far and away — I’ve agreed to take your life away against my better judgment. And that ought to entitle me to a few compromises on your part. (Edward)
126. I didn’t realize there was anything else u wanted besides being transformed into a monster yourself. I’m extremely curious. (Edward)
127. I didn’t have the faintest idea how to be seductive. I would just have to settle for flushed and self-conscious. (Bella)
128. I already know how strong u are. u didn’t have to break the furniture. (Bella)
129. Bella. Would u please stop trying to take your clothes off? (Edward)
130. There isn’t much that’s traditional about u and me. (Bella)
131. u make me feel like a villain in a melodrama — twirling my mustache while I try to steal some poor girl’s virtue. (Bella)
132. Yes, but you’re such a bad liar that it doesn’t really count. Nobody believes you. (Edward)
133. I had no right to want u — but I reached out and took u anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire. (Edward)
134. We’ll go to Vegas — u can wear old jeans and we’ll go to the chapel with the drive-through window. I just want it to be official — that u belong to me and no one else. (Edward)
135. toon me the damn ring, Edward. (Bella)
136. u are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met. (Edward)
137. I supposed it’s a little outdated. Old-fashioned, just like me. (Edward)
138. Isabella Swan? I promise to love u forever — every single dag of forever. Will u marry me? (Edward)
139. The urge to fight must be a defining characteristic of the Y chromosome. They were all the same. (Bella)
140. u know, Edward, as a brother, u are sometimes a disappointment. (Alice)
141. I’ve got a first aid kit. I had a feeling I might need it. (Edward)
142. Bunch of vampires trying to kill you. The usual. (Jacob)
143. Does that mean that he’s a better kisser that I am? (Jacob)
144. But I don’t count that as a kiss, Jacob. I think of it meer as an assault. (Bella)
145. According to you, you’ve kissed just one person — who isn’t even really a person — in your whole life, and you’re calling it quits? How do u know that’s what u want? Shouldn’t u play the field a little? (Jacob)
146. u could kiss me, for example. I don’t mind if u want to use me to experiment. (Jacob)
147. Don’t mess with me, Jake. I swear I won’t stop him if he wants to break your jaw. (Bella)
148. Sometimes I think u like me better as a wolf. (Jacob)
149. You’re an enormous monster who refuses to respect anyone else’s personal space. (Bella)
150. I make u nervous. But only when I’m human. When I’m a wolf, you’re meer comfortable around me. (Jacob)
151. When are u finally going to figure out that you’re in love with me, too? (Jacob)
152. Leave it to u to ruin the moment. (Bella)
153. I don’t see u making yourself useful. Why don’t u go fetch a space heater of something? (Edward)
154. Go fetch a space heater. I’m not a St. Bernard. (Jacob)
155. I’m sure she’ll thank u for this when her toes turn black and drop off. (Jacob)
156. Don’t be stupid. Don’t u like having ten toes? (Jacob)
157. u don’t have the faintest idea how much I wish I could do what you’re doing for her, mongrel. (Edward)
158. I wondered if the Cullens and the Quileutes weren’t just playing up that whole odor issue because of their prejudices. Everyone smelled fine to me. (Bella)
159. Why are u so much furrier than your friends? (Bella)
160. u have no idea how loud your little fantasies are. It’s like you’re shouting them at me. (Edward)
161. u mean, ‘as much as I’d love to kill you, I’m glad she’s warm,’ right? (Jacob)
162. I think u were just worried that if u really forced her to choose, she might not choose you. (Jacob)
163. After I’d accepted that she was meer of less veilig with u — as veilig as Bella ever is — it seemed best to stop driving her to extremes. (Edward)
164. As long as she wants me, I’m here. (Edward)
165. u see, Jacob, u might leave her someday. Like Sam and Emily, u wouldn’t have a choice. I would always be waiting in the wings, hoping for that to happen. (Edward)
166. u know, Jacob, if it weren’t for the fact that we’re natural enemies and that you’re also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you. (Edward)
167. I didn’t say it wasn’t the best night I’ve ever spent. Just that I didn’t get a lot of sleep. I thought Bella was never going to shut up. (Jacob)
168. But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top, boven ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that. (Edward)
169. All of my best nights have happened since I met you. (Edward)
170. Near the end, though, u started mumbling some nonsense about ‘Jacob, my Jacob.’ Your Jacob enjoyed that quite a lot. (Edward)
171. It made no difference that Jacob was not human when he cried out. I needed no translation. (Bella)
172. Do u think I care whether it’s fair of whether he was adequately warned? I’m hurting him. Every time I turn around, I’m hurting him again. I’m a hideous person. (Bella)
173. Edward would never see me shed another tear for Jacob Black. (Bella)
174. Kiss me, Jacob. Kiss me, and then come back. (Bella)
175. That should have been our first kiss. Better late than never. (Jacob)
176. I lay facedown across the sleeping bag, waiting for justice to find me. Maybe an avalanche would bury me here. I wished it would. I never wanted to have to see my face in the mirror again. (Bella)
177. And I thought I fought dirty. He makes me look like the patron saint of ethics. I’m not mad at you, love. Jacob’s meer cunning than I gave him credit for. I do wish u hadn’t asked him, though. (Edward)
178. It’s just that he would have kissed u anyway — even if u hadn’t fallen for it — and now I don’t have an excuse to break his face. I would have really enjoyed that, too. (Edward)
179. When I left you, Bella, I left u bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch u back up again. That was bound to leave its mark — on both of you. I’m not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can’t blame either of u for something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn’t let me escape the consequences. (Edward)
180. What happened to fighting back? Don’t start with the noble self-sacrifice now! Fight! (Bella)
181. u zei I could have any part of u I wanted. I want this part. I want every part. (Bella)
182. First, because u are bizarrely moral for a vampire. (Bella)
183. Bella, can u drop the rock, please? Carefully. Don’t hurt yourself. (Edward)
184. I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m just. Freaking out. Give me. A minute. (Bella)
185. I didn’t want u to see that. See me like that. I know I must have terrified you. (Edward)
186. I just beheaded and dismembered a sentient creature not twenty yards from you. That doesn’t bother you? (Edward)
187. Just u wait till I’m a vampire! I’m not going to be sitting on the sidelines volgende time. (Bella)
188. The Volturi do not honor truces with werewolves. (Edward)
189. This one seems to bring out bizarrely strong reactions in our kind. (Jane)
190. u are veilig inside your mind. No one can reach u there. It’s no wonder that Aro was so curious about your future abilities. (Alice)
191. One minuut it was that wolf yowling, and then u couldn’t hear it anymore — Jake’s cussing drowned it right out. Got a set of lungs on him, that boy does. (Charlie)
192. Have u ever noticed how big those Quileute kids all are? (Charlie)
193. If only I could be struck door lightning and be spleet, split in two. Preferably painfully. For the first time, giving up being human felt like a true sacrifice. Like it might be too much to lose. (Bella)
194. Dr. Fang isn’t sure how much pain medication I need, so he’s going with trial and error. Think he overdid it. (Jacob)
195. Why didn’t anyone ever try to kill me when I wanted to die? (Bella)
196. Don’t u think u ought to know how u feel — just so that it doesn’t take u door surprise someday when it’s too late and you’re a married vampire? (Jacob)
197. How can we be friends, when we love each other like this? (Bella)
198. Two futures, two soul mates… too much for any one person. (Bella)
199. He’s like a drug for you, Bella. I see that u can’t live without him now. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun. (Jacob)
200. Silly Jacob — don’t u know better than to believe vampire stories? (Bella)
201. I’ll always be waiting in the wings, Bella. You’ll always have that spare option if u want it. (Jacob)
202. I probably won’t think she’s good enough for you. I wonder how jealous I’ll be. (Bella)
203. My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight. I could see every mistake I’d made, every bit of harm I’d done, the small things and the big things. Each pain I’d caused Jacob, each wound I’d gegeven Edward, stacked up into neat piles that I could not ignore of deny. (Bella)
204. It had not been Edward and Jacob that I’d been trying to force together, it was the two parts of myself, Edward’s Bella and Jacob’s Bella. But they could not exist together, and I never should have tried. (Bella)
205. Edward, I know who I can’t live without. (Bella)
206. Go play with Edward. I have to get to work. (Alice)
207. I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it. (Bella)
208. u don’t fight fair. (Edward)
209. It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof. I’m going to need that ring. It’s time to tell Charlie. (Bella)
210. I’d hate to shatter the dream world u live in — the one where the sun is orbiting the place where u stand — so I won’t tell u how little I care what your problem is. Go. Away. (Jacob)
211. This is making me sick, Jacob. Can u imagine what this feels like to me? I don’t even like Bella Swan. And you’ve got me grieving over this leech-lover like I’m in love with her, too. Can u see where that might be a little confusing? I dreamed about kissing her last night! What the hell am I supposed to do with that? (Leah)
212.. Now Sue, she would have made one hell of a wolf. Leah’s meer of a wolverine. (Billy)
213.. If the silence in my head lasted, I would never go back. I wouldn’t be the first one to choose this form over the other. Maybe, if I ran far enough away, I would never have to hear again… I pushed my legs faster, letting Jacob Black disappear behind me. (Jacob)

2. The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something meer expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when u used them in casual conversation. (Bella)
3. There’s no law that says I can’t cook in my own house. (Charlie)

13. I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years. (Edward)
14. If I’d never left, u wouldn’t feel the need to go risk your life to comfort a dog. (Edward)
15. Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-t-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I’d allow it, she’d love to dress me every dag — perhaps several times a dag — like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll. (Bella)
16. I’m sure I still have boundaries — like the continental U.S., for example. (Bella)
17. u know how I am with tools. No pain was inflicted intentionally. (Bella)
18. The outside world holds no interest for me without you. (Edward)
19. It’s not like I’m headed off to Vegas to be a showgirl of anything. I’m going to see Mom. (Bella)
20. Interceded? u threw me to the sharks! (Bella)
21. Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen. They’d sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they’d each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes. (Bella)
22. Please tell me u are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie. (Bella)
23. I really wish u were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But… I am a… virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status. (Bella)
24. Shut your window if u want me to stay away tonight. I’ll understand. (Edward)
25. Renée is so much more… perceptive than Charlie in some ways. It was making me jumpy. (Bella)
26. There’s something… strange about the way u two are together. The way he watches u — it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save u of something. (Renee)
27. The way u verplaats — u orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, u adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… of gravity. You’re like a… satellite, of something. (Renee)
28. With a sense of astonishment, I realized that Jacob looked dangerous to them. How odd. (Bella)
29. Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial. (Jacob)
30. Edward cut him off mid-sentence, and his face was abruptly frightening — truly frightening. For a second, he looked like… like a vampire. (Bella)
31. I wasn’t about to send u off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive. (Edward)
32. I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run u back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history. (Edward)
33. Did u see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down. (Mike)
34. I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much meer fun with u around. (Emmett)
35. So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death. (Bella)
36. I’ll be back so soon u won’t have time to miss me. Look after my hart-, hart — I’ve left it with you. (Edward)
37. Alice was certainly just as capable of crippling my truck as Edward was. (Bella)
38. The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent! (Jacob)
39. I love him. Not because he’s beautiful of because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand? (Bella)
40. u know, Jacob, you’re awfully self-righteous — considering that you’re a werewolf and all. (Bella)
41. They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature. (Jacob)
42. What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here. (Jacob)
43. Normal humans can’t throw motorcycles around the way u can. (Bella)
44. Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human. (Jacob)
45. Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.(bella)
46. u think I should be as forgiving as u are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs. (Jacob)
47. Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice? (Bella)
48. Did u seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV. (Jacob)
49. I’m a pro at weird. (Bella)
50. I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. u are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters. (Bella)
51. I believe that. But I want u to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected door territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. u are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love u for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can kom bij the party, too. (Bella)
52. Well… don’t be offended, but u smell like a dog. (Edward)
53. You’re kidnapping me, aren’t you? (Bella)
54. Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior. (Bella)
55. u are in trouble. Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame volgende to what is waiting for u at home. (Bella)
56. This hostage stuff is fun. (Alice)
57. Porsches as bribes and king-sized beds in houses where nobody slept — it was beyond irritating. (Bella)
58. If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now. (Rosalie)
59. Why don’t u just lock me in the basement, and forget the sugar coating? (Bella)
60. So what’s the latest pack scandal? (Bella)
61. It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s meer like… gravity moves. When u see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding u here anymore. She does. And nothing matters meer than her. And u would do anything for her, be anything for her… u become whatever she needs u to be, whether that’s a protector, of a lover, of a friend, of a brother. (Jacob)
62. I traded a lifetime of servitude for a box of conversation hearts. That’s not something I’m likely to forget. (Bella)
63. You’d be better off dead. I rather u were. (Jacob)
64. I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days — and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame. (Bella)
65. u can hold me hostage any time u want. (Bella)
66. You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable. (Edward)
67. u are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. (Edward)
68. There’s… well, there’s this other problem that’s slightly meer worrisome than a bratty teenage werewolf…(Bella)
69. Is it really so impossible to wear clothes, Jacob? (Bella)
70. What do I look like, a pack mule? (Jacob)
71. Does my being half-naked bother you? (Jacob)
72. What’s it like — having a vampire for a boyfriend? (Jacob)
73. What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend? (Jacob)
74. One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes u smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively. (Jacob)
75. Okay! Time for the werewolf to get out! (Bella)
76. It gets easier. After a few decades, everyone u know is dead. Problem solved. (Edward)
77. Do u ever think that your life might be easier if u weren’t in love with me? (Edward)
78. It was stupid to want to go hang out with a bunch of big idiot wolf-boys right now when there was so much that was frightening and unexplained going on. Of course, that was exactly why I wanted to go. I wanted to escape the death threats, for just a few hours . . . to be the less-mature, more-reckless Bella who could laugh it off with Jacob, if only briefly. (Bella)
79. Hanging out with no one but extremely dexterous people all the time was going to give me a complex. (Bella)
80. Other than a few teasing complaints — mostly door Paul — about keeping the bloodsucker stench downwind, I was treated like someone who belonged. (Bella)
81. What’s the best part? u swallowing an entire cow whole? (Bella)
82. And your chocolate vacht, bont reflects what? How sweet u are? (Sam)
83. How can someone so tiny door so annoying? (Edward)
84. If there were any way for me to become human for u — no matter what the price was, I would pay it. (Edward)
85. I’m not that girl, Edward. The one who gets married right out of high school like some small-town hick who got knocked up door her boyfriend! (Bella)
86. My instincts told me that there was danger, that the angel had meant it when she spoke of killing, but my judgment overruled my instincts. I had not been taught to fear women, but to protect them. (Jasper)
87. Jasper shows up, covered in battle scars, towing this little freak who greets them all door name, knows everything about them, and wants to know which room she can verplaats into. (Edward)
88. I hate being babysat. (Bella)
89. Do me a favor and challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. It would be a good experience for him. (Edward)
90. I wanted to make both of them get out of their cars and shake hands and be vrienden — be Edward and Jacob rather than vampire and werewolf. It was as if I had those two stubborn magnets in my hands again, and I was holding them together, trying to force nature to reverse herself… (Bella)
91. Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life. (Jacob
92. I miss u when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you. (Bella)
93. u can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — of not at all. (Jacob)
94. u love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me. (Jacob)
95. Until your hart-, hart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that u have options. (Jacob)
96. I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck, u pushy, obnoxious, moronic DOG! (Bella)
97. I’ll give u passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion. (Bella)
98. If I think about u tonight, it will be because I’m having a nightmare. (Bella)
99. When he left, u spent all your energy holding on to him. u could be happy if u let go. u could be happy with me. (Jacob)
100. That was not kissing back, that was trying to get u the hell off of me, u idiot. (Bella)
101. volgende time u want to hit me, use a baseball bat of a crowbar, okay? (Jacob)
102. I’m not going to kill u now, because it would upset Bella. (Edward)
103. But if u ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, of if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if u return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, u will be running with three legs. Do u understand that, mongrel? (Edward)
104. She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair. (Edward)
105. I punched a werewolf in the face. (Bella)
106. I guess I could throw in a few extra homicides, if it makes Jasper happy. Why not? (Bella)
107. Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire! (Bella)
108. Well, everyone can relax. Nobody’s trying to exterminate the Cullens after all. (Bella)
109. No matter what side I’m on, if someone kisses u without your permission, u should be able to make your feelings clear without hurting yourself. (Charlie)
110. Everyone will come. They’re all dying to see the inside of the reclusive Cullens’ mystery house. (Edward)
111. In case my right hook was too subtle for you, let me translate: that was me uninviting you. (Bella)
112. We have a few advantages, dog. It will be an even fight. (Jasper)
113. People — well, vampires and werewolves really, but still — people I loved were going to get hurt. Hurt because of me. Again. I wished my bad luck would focus a little meer carefully. (Bella)
114. u truly are one frightening little monster. (Jasper)
115. To think it’s come to this, though! Trusting werewolves! (Edward)
116. The imprinting compulsion is one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed in my life, and I’ve seen some strange things. (Edward)
117. The pack mind is mesmerizing. All thinking together and then separately at the same time. There’s so much to read! (Edward)
118. Never be afraid to tell me how u feel, Bella. If this is what u need… u are my first priority. (Edward)
119. Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut. (Bella)
120. u worry too much, Bella. You’re going to go prematurely gray. (Alice)
121. Edward is such a grouch when he doesn’t get his way. (Alice)
122. I’m the only one who has permission to hold u hostage, remember? (Edward)
123. I leaned into him, ducking my head under his arm and cuddling into his side. It probably felt similar to snuggling with Michelangelo’s David, except that this perfect marble creature wrapped his arms around me to pull me closer. (Bella)
124. Listen to your hart-, hart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are u all right? (Edward)
125. I’ve already made the largest concession door far and away — I’ve agreed to take your life away against my better judgment. And that ought to entitle me to a few compromises on your part. (Edward)
126. I didn’t realize there was anything else u wanted besides being transformed into a monster yourself. I’m extremely curious. (Edward)
127. I didn’t have the faintest idea how to be seductive. I would just have to settle for flushed and self-conscious. (Bella)
128. I already know how strong u are. u didn’t have to break the furniture. (Bella)
129. Bella. Would u please stop trying to take your clothes off? (Edward)
130. There isn’t much that’s traditional about u and me. (Bella)
131. u make me feel like a villain in a melodrama — twirling my mustache while I try to steal some poor girl’s virtue. (Bella)
132. Yes, but you’re such a bad liar that it doesn’t really count. Nobody believes you. (Edward)
133. I had no right to want u — but I reached out and took u anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire. (Edward)
134. We’ll go to Vegas — u can wear old jeans and we’ll go to the chapel with the drive-through window. I just want it to be official — that u belong to me and no one else. (Edward)
135. toon me the damn ring, Edward. (Bella)
136. u are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met. (Edward)
137. I supposed it’s a little outdated. Old-fashioned, just like me. (Edward)
138. Isabella Swan? I promise to love u forever — every single dag of forever. Will u marry me? (Edward)
139. The urge to fight must be a defining characteristic of the Y chromosome. They were all the same. (Bella)
140. u know, Edward, as a brother, u are sometimes a disappointment. (Alice)
141. I’ve got a first aid kit. I had a feeling I might need it. (Edward)
142. Bunch of vampires trying to kill you. The usual. (Jacob)
143. Does that mean that he’s a better kisser that I am? (Jacob)
144. But I don’t count that as a kiss, Jacob. I think of it meer as an assault. (Bella)
145. According to you, you’ve kissed just one person — who isn’t even really a person — in your whole life, and you’re calling it quits? How do u know that’s what u want? Shouldn’t u play the field a little? (Jacob)
146. u could kiss me, for example. I don’t mind if u want to use me to experiment. (Jacob)
147. Don’t mess with me, Jake. I swear I won’t stop him if he wants to break your jaw. (Bella)
148. Sometimes I think u like me better as a wolf. (Jacob)
149. You’re an enormous monster who refuses to respect anyone else’s personal space. (Bella)
150. I make u nervous. But only when I’m human. When I’m a wolf, you’re meer comfortable around me. (Jacob)
151. When are u finally going to figure out that you’re in love with me, too? (Jacob)
152. Leave it to u to ruin the moment. (Bella)
153. I don’t see u making yourself useful. Why don’t u go fetch a space heater of something? (Edward)
154. Go fetch a space heater. I’m not a St. Bernard. (Jacob)
155. I’m sure she’ll thank u for this when her toes turn black and drop off. (Jacob)
156. Don’t be stupid. Don’t u like having ten toes? (Jacob)
157. u don’t have the faintest idea how much I wish I could do what you’re doing for her, mongrel. (Edward)
158. I wondered if the Cullens and the Quileutes weren’t just playing up that whole odor issue because of their prejudices. Everyone smelled fine to me. (Bella)
159. Why are u so much furrier than your friends? (Bella)
160. u have no idea how loud your little fantasies are. It’s like you’re shouting them at me. (Edward)
161. u mean, ‘as much as I’d love to kill you, I’m glad she’s warm,’ right? (Jacob)
162. I think u were just worried that if u really forced her to choose, she might not choose you. (Jacob)
163. After I’d accepted that she was meer of less veilig with u — as veilig as Bella ever is — it seemed best to stop driving her to extremes. (Edward)
164. As long as she wants me, I’m here. (Edward)
165. u see, Jacob, u might leave her someday. Like Sam and Emily, u wouldn’t have a choice. I would always be waiting in the wings, hoping for that to happen. (Edward)
166. u know, Jacob, if it weren’t for the fact that we’re natural enemies and that you’re also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you. (Edward)
167. I didn’t say it wasn’t the best night I’ve ever spent. Just that I didn’t get a lot of sleep. I thought Bella was never going to shut up. (Jacob)
168. But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top, boven ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that. (Edward)
169. All of my best nights have happened since I met you. (Edward)
170. Near the end, though, u started mumbling some nonsense about ‘Jacob, my Jacob.’ Your Jacob enjoyed that quite a lot. (Edward)
171. It made no difference that Jacob was not human when he cried out. I needed no translation. (Bella)
172. Do u think I care whether it’s fair of whether he was adequately warned? I’m hurting him. Every time I turn around, I’m hurting him again. I’m a hideous person. (Bella)
173. Edward would never see me shed another tear for Jacob Black. (Bella)
174. Kiss me, Jacob. Kiss me, and then come back. (Bella)
175. That should have been our first kiss. Better late than never. (Jacob)
176. I lay facedown across the sleeping bag, waiting for justice to find me. Maybe an avalanche would bury me here. I wished it would. I never wanted to have to see my face in the mirror again. (Bella)
177. And I thought I fought dirty. He makes me look like the patron saint of ethics. I’m not mad at you, love. Jacob’s meer cunning than I gave him credit for. I do wish u hadn’t asked him, though. (Edward)
178. It’s just that he would have kissed u anyway — even if u hadn’t fallen for it — and now I don’t have an excuse to break his face. I would have really enjoyed that, too. (Edward)
179. When I left you, Bella, I left u bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch u back up again. That was bound to leave its mark — on both of you. I’m not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can’t blame either of u for something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn’t let me escape the consequences. (Edward)
180. What happened to fighting back? Don’t start with the noble self-sacrifice now! Fight! (Bella)
181. u zei I could have any part of u I wanted. I want this part. I want every part. (Bella)
182. First, because u are bizarrely moral for a vampire. (Bella)
183. Bella, can u drop the rock, please? Carefully. Don’t hurt yourself. (Edward)
184. I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m just. Freaking out. Give me. A minute. (Bella)
185. I didn’t want u to see that. See me like that. I know I must have terrified you. (Edward)
186. I just beheaded and dismembered a sentient creature not twenty yards from you. That doesn’t bother you? (Edward)
187. Just u wait till I’m a vampire! I’m not going to be sitting on the sidelines volgende time. (Bella)
188. The Volturi do not honor truces with werewolves. (Edward)
189. This one seems to bring out bizarrely strong reactions in our kind. (Jane)
190. u are veilig inside your mind. No one can reach u there. It’s no wonder that Aro was so curious about your future abilities. (Alice)
191. One minuut it was that wolf yowling, and then u couldn’t hear it anymore — Jake’s cussing drowned it right out. Got a set of lungs on him, that boy does. (Charlie)
192. Have u ever noticed how big those Quileute kids all are? (Charlie)
193. If only I could be struck door lightning and be spleet, split in two. Preferably painfully. For the first time, giving up being human felt like a true sacrifice. Like it might be too much to lose. (Bella)
194. Dr. Fang isn’t sure how much pain medication I need, so he’s going with trial and error. Think he overdid it. (Jacob)
195. Why didn’t anyone ever try to kill me when I wanted to die? (Bella)
196. Don’t u think u ought to know how u feel — just so that it doesn’t take u door surprise someday when it’s too late and you’re a married vampire? (Jacob)
197. How can we be friends, when we love each other like this? (Bella)
198. Two futures, two soul mates… too much for any one person. (Bella)
199. He’s like a drug for you, Bella. I see that u can’t live without him now. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun. (Jacob)
200. Silly Jacob — don’t u know better than to believe vampire stories? (Bella)
201. I’ll always be waiting in the wings, Bella. You’ll always have that spare option if u want it. (Jacob)
202. I probably won’t think she’s good enough for you. I wonder how jealous I’ll be. (Bella)
203. My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight. I could see every mistake I’d made, every bit of harm I’d done, the small things and the big things. Each pain I’d caused Jacob, each wound I’d gegeven Edward, stacked up into neat piles that I could not ignore of deny. (Bella)
204. It had not been Edward and Jacob that I’d been trying to force together, it was the two parts of myself, Edward’s Bella and Jacob’s Bella. But they could not exist together, and I never should have tried. (Bella)
205. Edward, I know who I can’t live without. (Bella)
206. Go play with Edward. I have to get to work. (Alice)
207. I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it. (Bella)
208. u don’t fight fair. (Edward)
209. It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof. I’m going to need that ring. It’s time to tell Charlie. (Bella)
210. I’d hate to shatter the dream world u live in — the one where the sun is orbiting the place where u stand — so I won’t tell u how little I care what your problem is. Go. Away. (Jacob)
211. This is making me sick, Jacob. Can u imagine what this feels like to me? I don’t even like Bella Swan. And you’ve got me grieving over this leech-lover like I’m in love with her, too. Can u see where that might be a little confusing? I dreamed about kissing her last night! What the hell am I supposed to do with that? (Leah)
212.. Now Sue, she would have made one hell of a wolf. Leah’s meer of a wolverine. (Billy)
213.. If the silence in my head lasted, I would never go back. I wouldn’t be the first one to choose this form over the other. Maybe, if I ran far enough away, I would never have to hear again… I pushed my legs faster, letting Jacob Black disappear behind me. (Jacob)
