Not sure what to make of this....

Picture the scene...2 people. Edward and Bella. They're together 9 years, but then just split up cuz they hate each other. Ok, fair enough. Breakups happen right?

Now enter in Jacob. He's had a little crush on Bella for a looong time, and after a few days, with encouragement from some mutual friends, he steps in to sweep Bella off her feet.

And swept she is! For about 2 weeks they spend practically every available second together, and Bella is happy and Jacob seems thrilled to finally get to be with Bella.

And now suddenly...Jacob is gone. Doesn't answer the phone, no returned calls, nothing. What little contact he does make is brief and excusatory. "Sorry I've been really busy, doing this and that and this and that..."

WTF happened?

Is this about the books, or about something in life that you're using the books as a metaphor for?

He realised the fantasy Bella in his head is not the same as the realistic Bella.

That or got bored with her and/or found another chick.

Sadly for some it is the chase that excites them. Then they move on to the next chase, and so on. It sucks, but it happens.

No it's nothing to do with the books or the movies, I just felt like using the names.

I was thinking it was just that he got what he wanted and left. But there's other things that don't add up like his family saying they haven't seen him this happy in years when he was with her.

I dunno. Bella is pretty upset over it. One possibility we've considered is also that Edward got wind of Jacob's involvement and made some sort of crazy threats to him. Again, doesn't make sense with the whole up and disappearing thing.
