For her annotated playlist, this is the quote from the book that Meyer thought best described the moment when this song played in her head:

Wanderer’s POV

       Jeb had wasted his efforts on the wrong people. It didn’t matter that Trudy or Lily was speaking to me, that Ian would put himself between his brother and me, that Sharon and Maggie made no hostile move toward me. The only one who had to be convinced had now, finally decided.
       “I don’t think anyone needs to calm down,” Jared said through his teeth. “Jeb,” he continued, not looking to see if the old man had followed him forward, “give me the gun.”

       The silence that followed his words was so tense. I could feel the pressure inside my ears.
       From the instant I could clearly see his face, I’d known it was over. I knew what I had to do noe; Melanie was in agreement. As quickly as I could, I took a step to the side and slightly back, so that I would be clear of Ian. Then closed my eyes.
       –Chapter 26, “Returned” (Page 261)

If there is a particular song you’d like us to feature in the future, please feel free to mention it in the comments.

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
I won’t stand in your way
Let your hatred grow
And she’ll scream
And she’ll shout
And she’ll pray
And she had a name
Yeah she had a name

And I won’t hold you back
Let your anger rise
And we’ll fly
And we’ll fall
And we’ll burn
No one will recall
No one will recall

This is the last time I’ll abandon you
And this is the last time I’ll forget you
I wish I could

Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we’ll love
And we’ll hope
And we’ll die
All to no avail
All to no avail

This is the last time I’ll abandon you
And this is the last time I’ll forget you
I wish I could

This is the last time I’ll abandon you
And this is the last time I’ll forget you
I wish I could
I wish I could

Thank you!

Jack’s P.O.V

“Promise me Jazz, don’t follow.” I pleaded with my ‘sister’. “Ugh! Fine! But I hate it when you do this! I’m not a kid anymore Jack.”

I smiled sadly “I can’t lose you Jazz, I won’t.” I said the last part more to myself than her.

It was just us now, me and Jasmine, my ‘sister’ even though we weren’t really related I felt like she was my sister, I loved her like sister and I couldn’t live with myself if I lost her to those monsters.

Jazz’s sigh broke me from my thoughts “Your not going to lose me Jack, stop freaking out! Just go, the sooner you go the sooner you’ll be back.” She mumbled grumpily.

I laughed, “Yea just don’t go anywhere okay? I’ll be back as soon as I can.” I said as I stood up behind the tree we were both hiding behind and looked at the house I was about to break into.
