You know when things are bad when you feel guilty for being rude to vampires. Jacob B. Ch.14

I have to step out for a second. Don’t do anything funny while I’m gone.

I'm really glad I did not tattoo on my body 'cause I don't want them. So, permanence is a very scary thing to me, along with things that don't change at all.

Of course, I still saw Edward at school, because there wasn't anything Charlie [her dad] could do about that. And then, Edward spent almost every night in my room, too, but Charlie wasn't precisely aware of that. Edward's ability to climb easily and silently through my second-story window was almost as useful as his ability to read Charlie's mind.

Those who lived in peaceful nations had looked the other way as members of their own species starved on their door step.

It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.

As long as she wants me, I’m here.
