I'm not going to pretend I wasn't sad, because I was bawling through the entire book. And hopefully, most people understand that why Edward left was to save Bella. He didn't want to risk her being hurt because of what he was, so he took himself and his family out of the picture.
I remember the first time I read New Moon, the beginning chapters were light and warm. Bella and Edward were progressing in their relationship. Then, the 3rd chapter came. I remember reading it and a slew of emotions hit me. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure everyone felt something when they read New Moon. I felt a ripping in my lungs. I was gasping for air, just like Bella.
When she was depressed, I remember my cheeks were stinging, my eyes numb from crying. My dried tears on my cheeks covered with new layers of fresh tears. Jacob came into the picture, was somewhat bareable, but I still don't like him.
Everytime Bella refered to Edward, I felt the same pain she did. That ripping in her stomach and her whole core falling apart. When she heard his voice for the first time, I remember crying also. I was frantically reading the pages only to find Edward wasn't there.
As I progressed through the book, I got to the cliff diving. That was another emotional section of the book. I could hear his voice speak through the pages. His angry, intollerable voice. I then saw visions in my head of how this particular part would translate if it were a movie.
Chapter 16 where Alice returns, I felt the joy Bella did when she first saw Alice. I was crying tears of inexplicable joy when they were reunited. When Alice announced that Edward was going to the Volturi, I scrambled to read the next chapter.
When Bella was in the square, alone in the sea of crimson red robes, I felt the anxiety she did. I knew that she would be able to save Edward, but I still felt that emotion. When she reunited with Edward, I felt relief and contentment. I felt I could read on and not have to worry about anything because I knew they were together.
Funny how this particular series can pull you into the pages and the emotions of the characters. Reality meant nothing when I read the books. I was completely indulged. As soon as you close the book shut, the story still lingers in your mind. I can't really decide which book is my favorite between Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. They each have a special element, and each made me feel something. Stephenie Meyer has the talent of incorporating human emotions in a fantasy, and that's what I love about these books.
