I was 13 when I first read Twilight. I had just became a teenager and entered middle school. Twilight was the first “real” book I had ever read and to be honest I hated it at first. There were to many words, to many chapters, and Edward was a little scary. I got to chapter 8 (When Edward rescues Bella and takes her out to dinner) then decided that Twilight was stupid and not worth my time. I stopped reading. A week later I had a friend over to hangout. While we where sitting on the couch watching our favorite TV show I began to think about Twilight. I felt this weird connection to it. I felt like I needed to read it. So I told my friend that she had to go home so I could read. After that I couldn’t put the book down, it was physically impossible. Twilight became my life. And for the first time in my life I was begging my parents to let me stay up late so I could read. I spent my days sitting in the living room curled up on the couch reading Twilight. I spent my nights sitting on my bed with a flashlight reading Twilight. Finally I finished the book only to move onto New Moon.
New Moon was my first “depression” I remember walking to school with tears in my eyes because Edward was gone, He had broken up with Bella. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep all I did was read. I had to figure out if Edward came back. Finally I was rescued from my small depression when I read “It was a black car-a car I knew…It was a Mercedes S55 AMG…It was Carlisle’s car” tears of joy ran down my cheeks as I read on. Alice had returned and Edward was ok. Soon I was reading Eclipse, my favorite book from the series. My life was compete bliss. Well it was until Jacob came into the picture. I did not like the love triangle that formed. I hated Jacob. I had never hated something so much in my life. To this day He is still the one thing I hate most in this world. Why do I hate him? Because Edward hated him. Jacob made Edward unhappy; he made Bella and Edward’s relationship complicated and hard. In my opinion Edward should have killed Jacob when he had the chance, Bella would have gotten over it. Oh well.
Then came Breaking Dawn. The perfect wedding, the perfect couple, and the perfect family. I cried my eyes out when Edward and Bella exchanged their vows both in the movie and in the book. I want my wedding to be just like theirs.
The Twilight Series changed my life. It helped me grow up in a way. It helped me make friends and gave me something to look forward to, falling in love. I do believe that Breaking Dawn Part 2 was one of the hardest things I went go through. You might think I am over exaggerating but think about it this way. Breaking Dawn Part 2 was the end. It was the end of a precious era in my life.
