I agree with every point you said. Which is why I don't hate Jacob at all, even if all my friends who read the book do. I totally understand where he's coming from and how much he can grow if he was actually given the chance to be with Bella. But ultimately, I think Edward and Bella are meant to be. I'm just hoping for a happy ending for Jacob also. Shall we discuss this further in the new Stephanie thread, the fourth one? It can be located
