He was being really selfish! I know he left to protect her but putting someone through that is just horrible. She loved him and he was selfish to leave and come back like everything was ok. Because everything wasn't and it wasn't far to jacob niether. I loved edward in the first book but now I cannot look at him the same. He hurt me when he hurt bella, I had been searching for my special edward but now i don't know if I want an edward the way he did my bella.
