I recentally did a book project on New Moon (my last on was on Twilight!) I would like to share It with you guys. The project was to make a conversation between a main character and an unliveing oject. What I did was change pages 66-72 into Edward's veiw, and have him talking to love. Its very intresting!
Scince I can find no other way to put this in here, It will have to be in different posts! HAVE FUN READING!

If Walls Could Talk… SSR Project
New Moon
By: Stephenie Meyer
Chapter 3 – The End
(Bella’s Goodbye – In Edward’s View)
Dialogue between Edward, Love and Bella. NOTE: Most dialogue between Edward and Bella is from the text. (Pages 66-73) I had to tell her somehow, I knew I must. But I didn’t know how, I didn’t think I could. It wasn’t right, but it was at the same time. Maybe it is what’s best; it was what was best… My last day at school. My last day with Bella. The rest of my family had left earlier in the week; Jasper, Alice, Emmet, everyone. But today I didn’t care; all I could think about was Bella. It would be so hard for her…. and me. That’s when the voice came to me. Not unusual; I hear voices, or should I say thoughts, all the time, buzzing around in my head like a swarm of bees. This one was different. No matter how I tried to block it out, it just keep getting stronger. This isn’t right the Whisper hissed. You love her, don’t do this to her. I turned unthinkingly to look for the person whose thoughts I just heard. The Whisper chuckled. You won’t find me out there. I’m here; I’m your love for Bella. And you and I both know this is wrong. The voice hardened. Part of me agreed, but I shoved the feeling aside, even though, I knew, it was right. By this time I was already at Bella old 1953 pick-up. I don’t need your help I hissed to the Love in my head, even though I did I know what’s right, and this is the best thing for her now. I had made up my mind, even if I was unsure about my decision. “Do you mind if I come over today?” I asked Bella, my voice emotionless. “Of course not” she answered. Her voice didn’t waver but I knew something was bothering her, or was it? I could never tell with Bella. You can still change your mind. The love lulled. Ignoring the sing song whisper, I asked in a too urgent tone, “Now?” as I opened the door for her. “Sure,” she said, obviously trying hard to keep her voice even. “I was just going to drop a letter for Renee in the mail box on the way. I’ll meet you there.” You’re making her nervous, you’re nervous. You’re reckless; You don’t know what you’re doing. The tone turning stern and demanding. I needed time to think… suddenly I reached over and grabbed the fat envelope that lay on the passenger’s seat. “I’ll do it, and I’ll still beat you there.” My voice sounding unusually quiet. I tried my best to smile her favorite crooked smile, to show her it would somehow be alright, but it didn’t feel right. She muttered an “Okay” as I headed to my Volvo.

It may seem wrong. But she’s human, she’ll get over it. Besides I’m a monster. I’m not good enough for her. And what about Charlie, and Renee. I couldn’t take her from them! I tried to explain to the fury of Love in my head.
Can’t you see you are the right one! You’re not a monster! She loves you, you love her. You’ve waited centuries to find her; don’t leave her now. Don’t leave her… Don’t…My Love begged. It pulled at my heart. I tried to ignore it as I dumped the letter into the mail box, and headed to Bella’s.
I… I can’t... Carlisle, he’s barely passing for 33, they already left, I can’t bring Bella; take her away from the human world. Human hearts heal. She’ll find someone else to love, someone who’s not a monster like me, always putting her in danger, risking her life, its... the only way… I tried again explaining, though it wasn’t making sense to me. Maybe I should … no… I can’t be selfish…
I pulled into the drive way and waited for Bella to come home. I focused on the horizon, clearing my head of all thoughts. But one thought wouldn’t go away. Love. It couldn’t be ignored. She can’t remember me, I thought. I ran upstairs to her room and gathered all her birthday presents. Walking the length of the room, I found a loose floor board. I pulled it up and quickly put all the gifts in a neat stack.
Love turned into a raging beast. STOP! DON’T DO ANYTHING ELSE! DON’T… I turned to her scrap book. I only had to look as far as the first page. DON’T EVEN! IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY! It was… you can’t my love now pleading with me.
It is better … if she… never remembered me… as if… I was… never there…I told Love. I gently laid the picture down on top of the other gifts and put the floor board back into place. I love her, that’s why, if I can at all, make her life as it was… with out me… then maybe…
The sound of Bella’s engine roared into my all-hearing ears. She was still quite a ways away I walked down the stairs and to the drive, where I sat in my car waited, listening to Bella’s Lullaby. Love hummed with me. It’s wrong, I know it is, I told love, and myself, in a whisper, as I stepped out of my car to meet Bella. But my minds made up, I have to. I’ll stay for hours if I must, plant a seed of doubt in her head. She will have a chance at a normal human life. I’ll lie, even if it kills me, I’ll lie… to save her…
A deep sigh sounded in my head You cannot part for ever; your love runs too deep to keep you apart. Don’t feel guilty anymore; think about what you’re doing. To her… to you… Love purred in my head, pleading, just above a whisper.
“Come for a walk with me” I suggested emotionlessly. Without waiting for a response I took her hand and pulled her to the forest path behind her house. I tried to listen to Bella’s thoughts, but they were blurred and unclear, like always.
She’s nervous, panicked. Mumbled Love, panicked itself, panicked it would brake, panicked that it couldn’t save us.
She’s the strongest and bravest girl I know … I hope… she will have a normal life… was my only response.
We were only a few steps into the trees; I could still see the house through the shrubs, when I leaned against the tree, with a set unreadable look on my face.
“Okay let’s talk,” she knew something was up; I could feel her heart racing and see her panic stricken eyes. I took a deep breath and begin a speech that would somehow kill her, and me, inside.

“Bella, we’re leaving.”
You can still stop; you can still save her, save you from the pain. Love said fluidly, pleading, always pleading.
I can’t save her while staying here, leaving is the best way it is, she will be normal, with a normal life, even if it means me not being in it, even if it kills me.
“Why now? Another year –”
I cut her off “Bella, It’s time. How much longer could we stay in Forks, after all? Carlisle can barely pass for thirty, and he’s claiming thirty-three now. We have to start over soon regardless.” I stared at her coldly,
Try at least not to be too hard, chimed the voice.
I’ll try but she needs a clean break. She will heal faster with a clean break. I said remembering when she broke her leg in Phoenix, when I couldn’t protect her. I can’t have her coming after me.
But she will follow you, she’ll try.
I know, But I’ll be gone by then, and Charlie will have a search party out to find her if she doesn’t go back home. Bella cut off the short conversation
“When you said we –”
“I meant my family and myself.” I said separating each word. I could feel a sharp hurt sigh in my head, like I was stabbing my Love, which I was. My head began to feel numb, as I waited patiently for Bella’s response.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” With this Love began getting worked up again. Siding with Bella, it began throwing a pleading fit.
Take her with you! Please… please….
QUIET! I hissed
“You can’t Bella. Where we’re going… It’s not the right place for you.”
At the same time Bella and Love whispered “Where you are is the right place for me” (Where she is, is the right place for her and you).
I shook off the voice in my head. “Don’t be ridiculous. You’re the very best part of my life. My world is not for you.”
Love cried for Bella, It IS can’t you see that? Can’t you see true love? Can’t you see her hurt?
Bella was now on the verge of tears. I couldn’t stand seeing her like this. This will be the last time I hurt you Bella, I promise.
“You promised! In Phoenix, you promised you would stay –”
You did, you —
I cut them both off. “As long as it was best for you,” I completed Bella’s sentence. Slowly and precisely, I looked into Bella’s eyes and said “Bella, I don’t want you to come with me.” My now cold eyes stared into hers as I read her expression. She believed me, she truly did believe, I didn’t love her anymore.
“You… don’t … want me?” her confused voice almost killed me right there.
Once pleading love calmed down once again, and said but you do love her and always will, tell her that.
I do… I truly do, but I can’t, she wouldn’t forget.
“No,” I said calmly and sternly, although my century old buried human emotions could barely grasp what I had just said. For once Love had nothing to say.

“Well that changes things,” came her reply.
I turned toward the trees, feeling like my long dried up tears, would come once again. I tried to explain to her why, but her pleading voice cut me off.
“Don’t. Don’t do this.”
I turned back towards her, my face clean of emotion. Now you decide, make the right choice, you’ll have to live with it for eternity came a faint whisper of hurt love.
“You’re not good for me.” I had made up my mind.
“If… that’s what you want.”
I nodded once. With that I could see her body go numb and feel her hurt. I promise this is the last time, I promise… All I could do is ask for one more favor. With her faintly strong vow, my eyes relaxed and a flicker of saddened emotion wiped my face. I composed myself before she could figure it out. But I could feel my eyes melting into a softer tone as I made my request. “Don’t do anything stupid or reckless. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
A small nod was her answer.
My eyes cooled as I made my final distance with her. “I’m thinking of Charlie, of course. He needs you. Take care of yourself- for him.”
“I will.”
As if Love knew what was coming, it sighed and said, Edward, you’re wrong; you can’t hide from her forever. She will find you again. She won’t ever forget.
I pushed it’s scolding aside and told Bella. “And I’ll make you a promise in return. I promise this will be the last time you’ll see me. I won’t put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without anymore interference from me. It will be as though I never existed.” My voice started fading. “We won’t bother you again.”
“We, does that mean -”
“We, as in Alice, Emmet, Jasper, everyone. They left already, I only stayed behind to say goodbye. Alice wanted to, but I told her it would be best for you to have a clean break.” She stared at me in disbelief.
“Please…”
“Goodbye Bella”
I can’t believe you Edward Cullen.
Me either.
“Wait,” she pleaded for the last time. She reached out to me. I wanted so badly to reach out to her, to hold her, to make her nightmare go away. But instead I wrapped my cold hands around her warm wrist, pushing them to her side, and bent down to kiss her, briefly, for the last time on her forehead. With that I turned and ran as fast as I could into the forest.
She’s following you. Love told me as if I didn’t know that she would.
Please, I begged Love, Stay with her, protect her, and hide her memories without letting her forget completely…
You can always turn around, Love’s last plea.
I shook my head, No, I can’t, and you know that. And with that Love left me though it was still there, to protect the only one I have, and ever will care for.
I sighed as I turned to the twilight horizon and ran from the only star, my only love, my only light, into the darkness of the now forever New Moon night.

I love reading stuff from Edward's point of view.. Even though it killed me to read these pages in New Moon itself, what you wrote was so close to what he was probably thinking that it made me die inside again.
So, that's a good thing (I hope).
You will get an A, I'm positive about it! xp
