A wise man (my brother) once told me, “If someone ends up not liking you, chances are that somewhere down the road, you wouldn’t have liked them.”
What if Twilight had the same characters, but a different sequence of events? What if Bella had already been with Jacob and knew that yes, he would have left her as well?! If she would have known that she and Jacob could love each other without the physical (because they already crossed that line), then Bella would have drove away in the sunset – with a smile. Sure, Jacob and Edward would still vie for her time and her love, but Bella wouldn’t have any qualms or doubts of her decision to marry Edward because she would already know. Sure, the black haired children were cute, but how happy were they? Ok… so in the book they would have been happy. It’s also possible that Bella and Edward won’t get married… We’ll have to see when Breaking Dawn comes out (SATURDAY)!
Fortunately for me, I did date my Jacob. He’s not a werewolf, but he’s a pretty good friend. I’m pretty sure that we both still love each other, but for me it’s more of a friend love. On the other hand, my Edward has every little bit of my heart! Yet again, he’s not a vampire, but he’ll do – quite nicely, in fact. It’s very interesting… If I would have read this series when it first came out, I would have sworn that Jacob was Edward. I would have sworn that our love would last forever and that he would always be there for me. It turns out that sometimes the Bellas can’t forgive the Edwards for leaving, and sometimes she’s not supposed to. I guess it goes to show that you never know when there’s an Edward lurking around the corner, and you know even less if that Edward will turn into Your Jacob.
