outside reading #21

I have continued to read Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer.
In the chapter that I read today, it is the day after Bella’s graduation party. Bella ends up sleeping for most of the day, but nonetheless, Edward stays with her the whole time. When she wakes up Edward tells her that she had been talking in her sleep. Bella isn’t too embarrassed about this, so she decides to go and have some breakfast. While she eats her Pop Tarts, Bella asks Edward about the fight. She says that either she has to be in the field or Edward can’t fight. Bella feels selfish about this, but she knows that she won’t be able to just sit and wait to see if Edward survives. Edward tells her that he wont fight and he says that it is probably the best thing to do from his perspective too. While Edward talks to jasper about the fight, Alice comes over to Bella’s house. She says that her whole family is going to be gone this weekend. Charlie offers that she could stay at their house. After many kicks in the foot, Bella says that there really wouldn’t be a comfortable place for her to sleep, so Charlie says that Bella should stay at the Cullen’s for the weekend. This is exactly what Alice wanted because she wanted Bella to be away from Charlie and with Edward during the fight. Later that night, Bella goes to the clearing to watch them prepare for the fight. When Edward goes off to help Jasper, Bella spends sometime talking to Jacob.
