Chapter 4: Waking Up
“Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget”
But not really. Bella is never truly awake, she continues to be in the same lifeless downward spiral and who can blame her? Her very core of existance has abandoned her. “It will be as if I never exisited.” *Shudders the thought*
Key points in this chapter for me were:
I love how Jessica treated Bella after the whole “man on the street” incident, did Bella really think Jessica would buy that line that she may have known that guy?
And out of all the characters Jessica annoyed me the most, but she really saved this chapter for me. To me she really was a stand up gal for even putting up with someone who basically ignored her for months.
Then there’s the bedroom scene. Bella returns ہوم from the movie with Jessica, runs up to her room and Stephenie Meyer does an excellent job of illustrating the pain & sorrow Bella is feeling, through words. “I lay in my بستر a few منٹ later, resigned as the pain finally made its appearance. It was a crippling thing, this sensation that a huge hole had been punched through my chest, excising my most vital organs and leaving ragged unhealed gashes around the edges that continued to throb and bleed despite the passage of time. And yet I found I could survive. I was alert, I felt the pain-the aching loss that radiated out from my chest, sending wracking waves of hurt through my limbs and head-but it was manageable. I could live through it. Whatever it was that had happened tonight-and whether it was zombies, the adrenaline, یا the hallucinations that were responsible- it had woken me up.”
What gets me the most is that it’s like a couple hundred of pages before we even see the name Edward in print. This book makes me an emotional mess, but I warned آپ all, I will not be bubbly during New Moon, well not until Chapter 17 at least…
I truly look آگے to reading your تبصرے on this depressing chapter.
JUST 21 مزید days and 20 chapters to go till NEW MOON!!!!!!!! :)
When I opened my eyes, Edward was staring straight into my eyes. I placed my head on his hand and tried to sleep before I had to get up and get ready.
-Bella,love. آپ seem really tired. Are آپ sure آپ wanna go to school today?
I turned my head and stared into his golden eyes. He kissed my forehead and started playing with my hair.
-I should go. We have biology test! It's important.
He chuckled and said:
-Ok,Ok! I know that you're a total geek!
I punched him on his shoulder where his skin was Ice cold as always. The clouds were covering the sky so after 2 days that Edward couldn't come to school, He finally could and that made me happy for almost a minute.
-Can آپ wear your blue T-shirt Today? The one that I bought you?!
I nodded with my head and got the t-shirt Edward had bought me the other week. I wore it while Edward was holding me in his arms.
-Ah, your strong!
I giggled and got myself out of his arms.
