"And I'll make you a promise in return," he said. "I promise that this will 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 never existed."

Prologue: Carpe Lune
Bella
I really am not sure how, or even why, the months passed as they did. When Edward left he took my very heart with him. After months of nothing I finally came to realise that it could not continue like this. Of course, Charlie did not help much what with his insisting that I needed to forget him, to get over him and his idiocy for leaving me behind, but it was still a help, in an odd sort of way. It showed me that I did need to move on with my life, even if part of me felt torn and irreparable.
It was Jacob, though, who really helped me come back down to earth. If he had not been willing to shove aside my lack of feelings, my distress and heartbreak and my listlessness, if he had not been willing to just be my friend when I needed one then likely I would still be on that becalmed sea of doubt and self-loathing. Jacob wanted me, which is more than I can say for Ed– for him. Jacob wanted me despite all my flaws, despite that I was mortal, just a plain, clumsy human.
