What if she was a jerk, or really average, kind of like Jessica Stanley? Would he have simply given in to his instincts and put Bella out of his misery? Yes yes, he doesn't want to be a monster. But what if he could hear Bella's thoughts and they were super annoying?
Or what if the timing was bad? If he'd met her when she was an old woman and they had no time left, would Edward still have married her? Would he still have allowed her to be changed? Would he still insist that he had always found her to be dazzling? Seems a little awkward.
What if he had met her when she was a baby, instead of 17 like him? Would he have patiently waited out her childhood, like a werewolf who has imprinted on an inappropriately young person? Or would he have had a little snack, not realizing that baby Bella would grow up into the person he loves?
OR!
What if it wasn't Bella for Edward at all? What if Bella was the werewolf--Edward's sworn enemy and not at all delicious to him? What if Jacob was the ordinary teenager whose blood made Edward freak out, and whose thoughts were a mystery? What if Jacob was the danger-magnet Edward couldn't ignore? Who would Edward watch sleeping then, hmm?
If I were Jacob, I wouldn't trust that vampire for a second. Everyone knows that vampires loosen their ties before feeding.
