Goodbyes

I felt moisture filling up my eyes as I looked at Emmett. I barely knew him, and yet, somehow, not knowing when I would see him again after tonight was anguishing. I knew this was just a faint taste of the goodbyes I would have to survive in the next hour, and the thought made the tears begin to spill.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.391

Edward opened my door and took my hand, then drew me into the protecting enclosure of his arm. He walked me swiftly toward the house, eyes always roving through the night.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.391

I love you. I will always love you, no matter what happens now.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.391

Keep Charlie safe for me. He’s not going to like me very much after this, and I want to have the chance to apologize later.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.391

I could think of only one way to escape, and it involved hurting him so much that I hated myself for even considering it. But I had no time, and I had to keep him safe.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.393

I do like him — that’s the problem. I can’t do this anymore! I can’t put down any more roots here! I don’t want to end up trapped in this stupid, boring town like Mom! I’m not going to make the same dumb mistake she did. I hate it — I can’t stay here another minute!
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.393

It didn’t work out, okay? I really, really hate Forks!
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.394

Don’t worry. He’ll forgive you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.396

But it won’t be all right when I’m not with you.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.396

If you didn’t smell so appallingly luscious, he might not have bothered. But when I defended you… well, that made it a lot worse. He’s not used to being thwarted, no matter how insignificant the object. He thinks of himself as a hunter and nothing else. His existence is consumed with tracking, and a challenge is all he asks of life. Suddenly we’ve presented him with a beautiful challenge — a large clan of strong fighters all bent on protecting the one vulnerable element. You wouldn’t believe how euphoric he is now. It’s his favorite game, and we’ve just made it his most exciting game ever.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.397

I don’t think I have any choice but to kill him now. Carlisle won’t like it.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.398

How can you kill a vampire?
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.398

Bella, don’t you dare waste time worrying about me. Your only concern is keeping yourself safe and — please, please — trying not to be reckless.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.398

Emmett had my door open before the truck was stopped; he pulled me out of the seat, tucked me like a football into his vast chest, and ran me through the door.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.399

Are you sure it’s worth it?
Laurent, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.400

I’m afraid you’re going to have to make a choice.
Carlisle Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.400

I’m sorry for what’s been unleashed here. Truly sorry.
Laurent, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.400

As soon as Bella is clear, we hunt him.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.401

What is she to me? Except a menace — a danger you’ve chosen to inflict on all of us.
Rosalie Hale, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.401

His eyes went blank, curiously dead, as he turned away. And they were gone.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.403

I can feel what you’re feeling now — and you are worth it.
Jasper Hale, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.404

If anything happens to them, it will be for nothing.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.404

You’re the first one to ask permission.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.404
