Original Paragraph:
"Okay, look, Edward," I whispered. "Here's the thing...I've already gone crazy once. I know what my limits are. And I can't stand it if you leave me again."
I didn't look up to see his reaction, afraid to know how much pain I was inflicting. I did hear his sudden intake of breath and the silence that followed. I stared at the dark wooden tabletop, wishing I could take the words back. But knowing I probably wouldn't. Not if it worked.
Suddenly, his arms were around me, his hands stroking my face, my arms. He was comforting me. The guilt went into spiral mode. But the survival instinct was stronger. There was no question that he was fundamental to my survival.

This part of the book Eclipse, is when Bella tries to convince Edward to let her help him fight the bad vampires that are after her. She is very afraid that he won't come back alive. The truth is that she can't really help that much because she is not a vampire, but she feels she needs to be there when he is fighting for her. This is very noble and stupid at the same time, I think. I know that she wants to help her soulmate, but getting herself killed for him isn't going to help all that much... I think Bella wants to be helpful and the best companion ever, but right now she's not doing so hot...
