Synopsis
Bella is having a dream. She imagined herself as an old woman, she saw herself just as a grandmother. Edward started to aproach, that is when she realized that the old woman that was standing beside him was herself. A loud Happy Birthday! waked Bella up. She saw her father with a couple of presents even though she didn't want any. However, she did like the camera and the "scrapbook" in which she had to paste photos of people she loved. Just after Bella arrived to school, Edward did to. Pleasing her with a "Happy Birthday" and a kiss. When they were in class Edward
told Bella that humans had so many options in terms of suicide but his specie (vampires) didn't have many. He told her that when she was nearly killed by James, he went to provoke The Volturi (which is the most similar thing to a royal family but in in this case of vampires) because he couldn't live without her. After class Edawrd took Bella to his house because Alice had planned a special birthday party for her. First, she received a stereo for the truck Charlie had bought her when she arrived from Phoenix. However, when she was opening Edward's present she had a paper cut. Immediately by the smell of blood, Japer threw himself towards Bella but Edward threw her in the air and stopped Jasper just on time. Everyone but Carlisle were disorientated and kind of thirsty. Luckily for Bella, Carlisle already had experience smelling fresh blood so he healed Bella. While healing her, Carlisle told Bella the story of how he turned Edward into a vampire. It was a tragic story becuase Edward was seriously ill and his mother too, it was such an powerful illness that his mother died just after she told Carlisle to save Edward. Bella ended understanding how Edward felt about his soul. Right after Carlisle was finished curing Bella, Edward took her home. When they were in the room of Bella, he gave her his present. His present was something simple but with a huge meaning, he gave her a CD with her lullaby and other compositions. The next day, Edward told her that all of his family went away for a while. He was strange for a couple of days until he took Bella to a walk and "braked up with her". He said he had to go and that he didn't wanted her to come, that devastated Bella. She passed the following 4 months not caring about a thing, until one day Charlie was tired of Bella's attitude. He wanted to send Bella back home. That's when Bella and Jessica went to Port Angeles just to get away from all the problems, but just when they were heading to a McDonalds Bella saw some guys she recognized. As she reached them, she heard HIS voice.

Quotes
"I promise that this wil 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"(71)
This quote really made me think who Edward is really. At first he was very caring, very gentle at speaking and treating people. And suddenly he makes a drastic turn and become a total rude person. What or who made him change his mind? Earlier in the book he protected and loved Bella with his heart and soul, and from one day to another he broke up with her. What's wrong with him? He might be inmortal and heartless, but Bella is human and she does suffer all the pain she is having now.
"TIME PASSES. EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. EVEN when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."(93)
I can't believe how heartless Edward is right now. I mean he just left, leaving Bella all alone.......heartbreaked. Like I said before she didn't get over it soon, she took her time processing the new information that has had given to her. 4 months, 4 months is what it took Bella to recognize that time goes on even if we don't want it to. We can't erase a heartbreaking memory, we can't back time. That is why we should hold on to the marvelous moments we have left to be happy.Final Thoughts
I am really enjoying this book. It has lots and lots of moments in which I can identify myself like when someone leaves you. Not necesarily a boy but maybe a grandfather you really loved. I find it interesting how the author choses to express herself, instead of narrating the story herself, she uses Bella as the narrator. Also she uses a lot of dialogue between characters in which more details are revealed and the story is better to comprehend. Anyway, as the book continues its course I am looking forward to see what will happen to Bella because she was absolutely devastated by what Edward had said. I hope she holds on to a strong attitude toward this problem. I also hope that Edward think through what he has done.
