25 Days Left: TST Eclipse Chapter Countdown

Day 25
Chapter 4: Nature
In this chapter Jacob confronts Bella and says that if she hadn’t gone cliff diving without him, the Cullens would still be gone and he and Bella might be together. How do you think Jacob and Bella’s relationship might have changed if she hadn’t jumped? Do you think they would have grown closer, or would Edward have still intervened someday, either in person or in memory?

I don’t know id like to think that edward would have came back and she would go straight back to him but honestly if he hadnt come back i think she might have moved on not completely but its like someone said to her i think it was jacob that she never gave it a chance she never tried to move on she just kept clinging on to edwards memory and just before alice showed up she was just about to give jacob a chance to try and be happy . he was soo close and tats probly when i started feeling sooo sorry for jacob.
love the podcast

What if? What if? Those are such hard words to live with! And Jacob unfortunately has to deal with that through-out the rest of this book and most of the next. This is where most girls can relate with Jacob’s character, we as girls tend to over think things and mull over our past regrets. Jacob totally dwells on that evening that Bella jumped of the cliff so much so that the pack resents Bella for it in many ways. Jacob and Bella would have gotten closer and she would have let him in but not as much as she had let in Edward. She does love Jacob after all but there still would have been a distance.
Edward most defiantly would have come back into Bella’s life sooner or later, but honestly I don’t think he would have intervened when he seen how happy she was with Jacob. Until Edward smelled that Jacob was a werewolf then the showdown would have really happened and it may not have been so amicable. So it really changes the dynamic of the story. Love the website/podcast! Good luck with Stephenie’s junket!
I think that edward would have come back even if bella had gone cliff diving with jacob because the point of alices vision was that she saw bella jump off the cliff and not be rescued even when she was, ,this would most likely be the same case if she went with jacob because she would still jump and alice would see this but not her being pulled out by jacob . However even if alice hadn’t seen this because of jacob and the werewolves, Edward says himself that he ” was past trying to live through every day at a time and sooner or later he would have turned up at her door and begged her to take him back. I have no doubt that he was telling the truth and that he would have done so very soon and of course bella would have taken him back ( i mean who wouldn’t ? ) so i dont think it made a difference that she cliff jumped without jacob becaue true love always finds a way to be together and ntothing can get in its way ( not even a super hot werewolf like jacob) Edward and Bella are destined to be together and would have been re united in a different way.
TEAM EDWARD all the way
love the podcasts kee’em coming
lots of love leanne ( Newcastle, England)
I think Jacob and Bella would have gotten A LOT closer but Edward would have come back anyway. Then it would be the whole Eclipse-fighting-over-Bella thing but in reverse. It would have been love with Jacob but love and friendship with Edward and instead of realising at the end of the book, Bella would have always known that she still loved Edward.
Edward SAYS to Jacob that he was already on his way back, and that he couldn’t stay away from Bella (of course, this is all the way in chapter 22, starting at pg 499… sorry, Eclipse is my favorite book lol)… and honestly, I think that even if she HAD started to be happy with Jacob, the moment she saw Edward again, Jacob would have been history. I realize that sounds heartless, and it really is, but I still believe its what would have happened. And even if he stayed gone when he saw she was “happy” with Jacob, she could never have given her whole heart to Jacob, which Jacob was well aware of and was OK with anyway, he was that much in love with Bella. But that’s OK, too, because if she HAD stayed with Jacob, then the world wouldn’t have Remesmee!
