It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Someone seriously should have told this to Bella. Think about it: her high school boyfriend breaks up with her and she goes suicidal. Clearly the girl was dependent on him for happiness, because the second he was gone she fell into a self-loathing depression. The girl decides to get on the back of a motorcycle of the guy that was harassing her... just so she could see a figment of her imagination. Last time I checked, that was something worthy of psychiatric help. Her life gets better as she falls into a rebound with the perfectly sculpted, complete opposite of her ex. The movie could have appropriately been named "New Abs." Listen up preteens engrossed in this film: life gets better when you rebound! It is a great idea. Just hang out with him, and don't ever mention that you're seeing ghosted figures of your past lover. THEN when you find out that your beloved Edward is about to pull a classic Romeo suicide, drop the kid like he never meant anything to you. It does wonders for forming long-lasting relationships. The moral of this love story is: if you know someone who can see the future, pretend to kill yourself and the love of your life will show the ultimate sign of his true love. Oh, don't forget to save his life. Additionally, he won't see you as pathetic even though you truly are.
