Author’s Note: You can only really trust someone if you honestly know them. As you read this think about if you have ever gotten to know someone who has betrayed your trust.
“In dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition. Something Edward didn’t want me to know. Something Jacob wouldn’t have kept from me. It was never going to end, was it?” (79) This is a quote from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer which talks about the ways of trust. Trust is an important topic in life where you can never really trust someone until you truly get to know them.
In the beginning of this book, Edward attempts to keep a secret from Bella. Suddenly unexpected visit from Bella's friend comes and tells her all the details. Bella isn’t sure if she can trust Edward anymore. Although Edward couldn't keep the fact that a bunch or vampires are trying to kill her, he tries to tell her the reason he lied to her. To protect her. One of the most important things in life is trust. If you can’t trust someone how can you ever tell when they are telling the truth? In this case it was a lie of protection. Edward didn’t lie to hurt her, but to keep her from the bad things that might have had happened if he had told her.
In addition to Edward not being trustworthy to Bella, Edward can’t trust Bella either. Since Bella is in love with Edward, they spend almost all of their time together. Bella doesn't get a chance to spend time with her other friends including her best friend, the ‘werewolf’, Jacob black. Edward is scared that Jacob will lose control and attack Bella. This is a really big problem in Bella and Edward’s relationship. They don't understand the importance of trust. On the other hand they care far to much about each other to let that affect there relationship.
As if their relationship wasn't complicated enough, vampires are coming to kill Bella. Bella is trying to stop the fight from happening but her persuading fails. Finally she understands why Edward didn’t want to tell her about the fight. She knows that he was actually trying to save her from all the overwhelming emotions that may overcome her. In life it's important to understand the reasons why someone does a certain thing. That reason is most likely to be that they are just trying to protect you.
Once you truly get to know someone you are able to put you trust into their hands. In the end relationships end up happy and loving. You learn new things about each other that make them love each other even more. “He once again slid my ring into place on my third finger on my left hand. Where it would stay, conceivably for the rest of eternity.”(620) As time passes love generates and gets stronger, just like Bella and Edward.
