Hey there J-14ers!
Normally I can always see the other side of the coin in a situation, even if I don't agree. But the one thing I just can't even relate to the opposite of? The Team Edward vs. Team Jacob battle. To me, it's just so obvious that Edward Cullen is Bella Swan's destiny -- and the way Jacob Black tries to weasel his way into Bella's life is just kinda, well, annoying! (Don't worry, Taylor Lautner fans -- I'm talking just about the characters. Love Taylor and Rob Pattinson!)
And now that the two literally battle for Bella in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on the big screen, it just brought to fruition how crazy the situation is. First of all, the chemistry between Edward and Bella is so undeniable -- and the fact that Edward is willing to give all that up and selflessly offer Bella a better life just shows the kind of person he is at the core -- he cares more about Bella than himself. I mean, he says stuff to her like, "Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren't in love with me?"
Not only did he run off and bear the agony in New Moon, but even face-to-face in the tent scene in Eclipse, Edward admits right to Jacob that he understands that Bella would have a better life with Jacob. He'd rather give up his own "life" and live all of eternity in pain than have Bella for himself... now that's true romance.
