She has completely healed but has no heart to put down her best friend feelings. She cant find the words and the courage to seal the deal that Edward is the one and not him. He wants Jacob to have that clear head for the fight for the fear of getting hurt badly if she didnt kiss him. He is that important to her at this point she doesnt know why yet that pull is so strong, she cant pin point what it means but all will be answered in BD.

Ha, when I read your last post I knew you would change your mind… This is definitely a guy-friendly chapter… I like this too… mostly because Bella is once again being saved by Edward… Jacob will never truly be able to grasp how much Edward and Bella have been through… I don't think that Bella needs Jake to be around because she is scared of falling apart, I just think that she does love him, but like she said… its not enough to do anything but cause more pain… its the lesser love, but like she said in New Moon, there was a small part of herself that was left after Edward hurt her… thats Jakes part… Edward gets all the rest, she can't help it… their love is just like that…

Bella was hurting so much when Edward left and Jacob pretty much fixed “everything” but despite everything….. Bella still thought of Edward. She never was over Edward, she put herself in danger so she can have Edwards image appear and try to stop her… so i think Jacob really didn't heal Bella as much as she thought he did. I think she just really got attached to Jacob & the attention he gave her when she really needed it, so I just think that she wanted to keep Jacob around because she still was living in the fear of losing Edward and she wanted to keep jacob and not loose him either. which i dont think is fair because shes hurting a lot of people besides Jacob.

Yay! Another Killers song!

I’ve always thought that Bella really did need Jacob at one point; he was her “sun”. But when Edward came back she didn’t quite know how to make the transition back to Edward and away from Jacob. She was used to having Jake as a friend and for the longest time didn’t know how to deal with the relationship with him and her relationship with Edward. Jacob was her crutch that she wasn’t quite ready to stop leaning on and Jacob was all too willing to keep standing there to let her lean on him, thus making the situation even more confusing. I think that Bella did use Jacob and Edward but in her defense that’s a hard place to be! And I think everything works out all right in the end.

ok so i know this is COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC but thanks for using the Renoir girl in the battle pic…it reminded me of the episode in Gilmore girls when they had the night of the living pictures…

it just made me really happy for some extremely weird reason that has NOTHING to do with Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn.

PS Keep up the awesome chapter summaries–they’re hilarious!

. Love is blind, they say. But perhaps Edward’s isn’t such a blind love, but rather he believes that it is his just punishment for leaving Bella – I am so glad you point htis out. He really takes on too much as his burden. And he can never hold it against Bella because it’s his fault. That is just beyond sad. One thing I’ve always thought was how unfair it is that Bella seems to disregard Edward as capable of having feelings because he seems so perfect to her. She forgets that even in mythology, Greek gods were passionate beings with faults and tempers who felt jealous, made mistake, fell in love… So while she is always concerned about hurting Jacob and everyone else, she never stops to think about Edward.

I think that Bella knows that (despite how much he promises that he won’t)Edward halfway wants ro leave her again, and she wants someone to fall back on. She knows that Jacob will always love her, and now she knows that she loves him, too. As Edward always tries to convince her, she is too good. She wants everyone to be happy, and in this situation, it’s making her unhappy. She knows that she has to leave one of them, because it hurts them, too. It hurts Edward to know that she loves Jacob, and it hurts Jacob to know that she will never be able to love only him.
