Prologue

Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

“Kiss Me, Jacob!”

I looked at her with despair. What difference would it make if I kissed her or not? She was taken, and rightly so. But would I be able to live with myself if I didn’t?

Would I be able to do that to her fiancé, Edward? After a few moments of thought, something in her eyes made the answer for me. Yes, yes I could, and she wanted me to.

I took in a deep breath and strode closer to her. I wrapped my arms around her and said, softly, “Bella, my love.”

The sea. What a sight. Right now, as I watched the waves crash against the rocks, I wondered- why did she do it? Why did Bella go back for Him after all that he had put her through? Was it because she felt sorry for him? Was it because she felt responsible for his attempted suicide? WHAT WAS IT!?

As the sun set upon the waves the truth occurred to me- it was love. That was the only explanation. Why else would she go all the way to Italy? To go SHOPPING? No- it was because, deep down, she still loved him. Still loved Him more then she loved me.

The sea would wait, there was something I needed to do- I needed to send her a note, because she was too childish to talk to me face to face. I sighed, and began to write. Going through page after page until I finally got tired of throwing the pages away, and just crossed out what I didn't want to be read. let her wonder what used to be written there
