Blog #2

For this blog I read chapters 2-4 of New Moon. After the accident at the Cullens house on Bellas birthday when she papercut herself and Jasper tried to attack her, Edward has been acting very strange. From the night after her birthday and for a few days after he had been keeping his distance from her, not coming to see her and not acting like himself. Bella has a really bad feeling that something is going to change and she justifies her instincts by convincing herself that Edward is just upset about the accident. She is taken by surprise when he asks her to hang out after school one day and wants to go on a walk. Along the way, he stops her and reveals that his family is moving because they have been in Forks too long and people are starting to get suspicious. Bella assumes that he wants her to go with but he tells her that she is not coming and that he doesn't want her to come because he is tired of pretending to be human when he knows that he is not. This is the worst thing Bella could have expected and she is unsure of how she is going to move on without him in her life. I predict that Edward is only saying this as an excuse because it was so sudden and I think that there is something else going on that the Cullens aren't telling her.
