Twilight by Stephenie Meyer p. 363-423

Since I blogged last I have read chapters sixteen, seventeen & eighteen. Bella has to stay in La Push whenever she isn't at school or work because of Victoria, and Jacob is with his pack everyday to try and protect Bella, and find Victoria. So Bella is by herself a lot, so one day when she was wandering on the beach she remembered that Jake had promised to go cliff diving someday. Bella decided that she would just go then, and that it couldn't be that hard. So Bella was about to jump off the cliff, when she heard Edward's voice telling her not to do it, but she ignored it; she jumped anyway. Bella almost drowned, she was underwater for almost a minute, and Edward's voice was with her the whole time. Jake ended up rescuing her, and was so mad at Bella. Bella wanted to go home, and was ashamed of her actions. When Bella got home, she saw Carlisle's car outside her house. Bella couldn't believe it, and Jake was not happy at all, he stormed off and left Bella. (werewolves and vampires are enemies) Alice was waiting in the house. Alice was so shocked to see Bella, and it turns out that Alice came back to Forks because she saw Bella jumping off the cliff, and saw her drown. So Alice was shocked to see Bella. Bella begged Alice to stay, she didn't know if she could handle leaving them again. Charlie was fine with Alice staying, and liked her a lot. The next day, Alice found out that Rosalie had told Edward that Bella had died. Edwad was on his was to Italy, and he planned to kill himself. The only thing Bella could do was go with Alice to Italy to try and find him, but this had serious risks, because they could be killed while they were over their as well. Bella decided to go, and only left a note for Charlie trying to explain things, she also told Jacob to take care of Charlie.
