Talk:Jessica Stanley/@comment-2227733-20120714132220

Okay I'm gonna make a quick argument for Jessica since she's one of the character I sympathized with.


 * Jessica was perfectly nice to Bella when she was new to Forks, showing her around and letting her into her cirlce of friends, even though Bella was stealing the attention of Mike.


 * Even after Bella has probably been ignoring Jessica for months, she still agrees to go see a movie with her. And while they're out, they meet up with the guys who tried to rape Bella. And what does Bella do? She tries to get their attention and call them over to her and Jessica, endangering not only her life but Jessica's life as well. If you pay attention to Jessica's dialogue, it's clear that Jessica is terrified (and rightly so, these guys are rapist/would-be rapists). And yet were supposed to think Jessica is a bitch whenever she wants nothing to do with Bella afterwards. Riiiiiiight... Pro-tip: Good friends don't gain the attention of rapists.


 * If I were Jessica, I would never forgive Bella ever again after that little stunt. Apparently, however, Jessica is more forgiving than me since in Eclipse it talks about how Jessica tries to talk to Bella and make up with her, and Bella outright states that she doesn't even pretend to listen to her.


 * Jessica is supposed to be shallow because she likes clothes, make-up, cars and boys... You know? All that stuff that Alice also likes?

In all honesty, I'm sure Jessica is much happier without Bella in her life. Imo, Jessica and Mike were the cutest couple in the books, and they were barely given any attention at all.
