The first task was complete as Bella scribbled on a piece of paper, “I’m with Alice. Edward is in trouble. You can ground me when I get back. I know it’s a bad time. So sorry. Love you so much. Bella.” pg 420 Charlie had been taken care of by this letter, and Jacob had promised to take care of him in Bella’s absence. All the arrangements for the trip were made. Alice had gotten a flight booked for both her and Bella, they found Bella’s passport and ID, and after throwing some clothes in a suitcase, they were ready to leave. Bella had promised Jacob she would explain everything later, and she told him how sorry she really was for leaving him. Thankfully, Jacob understood and didn’t hold a grudge against her, even though in the back of his head he knew things wouldn’t be the same once she got back.
“We made our flight with seconds to spare, and then the true torture began. The plane sat idle on the tarmac while the flight attendants strolled–so casually–up and down the aisle, patting bags in the overhead compartments to make sure everything fit….Alice’s hand was hard on my shoulder, holding me in my seat while I bounced anxiously up and down.”
The way Bella is so anxious to get to Italy reminds me of when I take trips. Whenever I reach the terminal I am ready to go. I get anxious and jumpy about being able to fly someplace else that is untouched by my presence. It is like my life doesn’t exist yet in the new destination, because I am not known there, I have no history there. I love taking trips, and I feel the same emotions that Bella feels, except in an anxious excited way, not an anxious worried way.
