Chapter 23: The Truth

“I’m here and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”

*Sobs* Gosh, after all he has done, and yet…I have to unconditionally forgive him…Oh Edward! Now that we’ve got Italy behind us, now comes the time of healing, and planning for the future. Basically I will do a recap of this chapter

After being apart for 7 months Edward and Bella have finally reunited. They are now in her bedroom after Bella passed out for about 14 hours of much needed sleep.
Bella awakens and thinks she is either dead, or dreaming, when in fact Edward is really back in the flesh! Edward continues to try to prove to Bella that he is indeed real, and in bed next to her. (Lucky duck)
Edward explained that in between obsessing over Bella in every minute of everyday, he managed to squeeze some tracking into his daily routine but alas; he sucked big time at it.
“Bella come lately” Realizes she isn’t dead and comes to her senses and listen’s to Edward as he pours his heart out to her.
Pg. 505 “I owe you an apology. No, of course I owe you much, much more than that. But you have to know that I had no idea. I didn’t realize the mess I was leaving behind. I thought it was safe for you here. So safe. I had no idea that Victoria would come back. I’ll admit, when I saw her that one time, I was paying much more attention to James’s thoughts. But I just didn’t see that she had this kind of response in her. That she even had such a tie to him. Not that there’s any excuse for what I left you to face. When I heard what you told Alice-what she saw herself-when I realized that you had to put your life in the hands of werewolves, immature, volatile, the worse thing out there besides Victoria herself. Please know that I had no idea of any of this. I feel sick, sick to my core, even now, when I can see and feel you safe in my arms, I am the most miserable excuse for…” I 1,000% agree, sorry Ed, but you know you were dead wrong for leaving Bella
Pg. 513 Looks like our little girl has grown up guys. I love love love how Bella has played it cool since she reunited with Edward. Not really jumping the gun, she always kept it in her mind that the reunion was temporary and that he would be leaving soon. But here she gives it to him straight. “Don’t promise me anything.” “You think I’m lying to you now?” “No-not lying. You could mean it…now. But what about tomorrow, when you think about all the reasons you left in the first place? Or next month, when Jasper takes a snap at me?” Yeah, what about that Eddie? You tell ‘em Bells!
Pg. 514 Everyone grab your tissues…you ready? “Before you Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, every thing went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.” *sobs*
So Edward and his “brilliant” plans; even with the Volturi hot on their trail, Edward informs Bella he has no intentions on turning her into a vampire, even when she is old, wrinkly, and grey while he is young fresh and scrumptious. Sick!
Pg. 521 Our young Bella has truly stepped it up and is showing her feisty side, and lays down the law on Mr. Cullen. “Stay here.” He suggested, but his expression wasn’t hopeful. “No dice. But you go ahead and make yourself at home.” Lmao! Bella must have picked up her sarcasm from Jacob Black the king of sarcasm. “Okay, I’ll give you a ride.” “Either way. But you probably should be there, too. And why is that?” “Because you’re extraordinarily opinionated, and I’m sure you’ll want a chance to air your views.” “My views on which subject?” “This isn’t just about you anymore. You’re not the center of the universe, you know. If you’re going to bring the Volturi down on us over something as stupid as leaving me human, then your family ought to have a say.” “A say in what?” “My mortality. I’m putting it to a vote.” Smh.
