Alright guys. So I was watching an episode of Buffy today, and was seriously stunned when watching this one scene. Angel decides that he needs to leave Buffy for her own good, because she can't have a normal life with him. After seeing this episode, I really think Stephenie must have watched Buffy. First, here are the New Moon quotes:
Edward: I'm no good for you Bella.
Bella: Don't be ridiculous. You're the very best part of my life.
Edward: My world is not for you. I don't want you to come with me.
Bella: You don't want me?
Edward: No.
Bella: Well, that changes things.
Edward: Of course, I'll always love you ... in a way. But I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. I'm not human. I've let this go on much too long, and I'm sorry about that.
Bella: Don't do this.
Edward: You're not good for me, Bella.
Bella: If ... that's what you want.
Now read this:
Buffy: Don't what? Don't love you? I'm sorry. You know what? I didn't know that I got a choice in that. I'm never gonna change. I can't change. I want my life to be with you.
Angel: I don't.
Buffy: You don't want to be with me? I can't believe you're breaking up with me.
Angel: It doesn't mean that I don't ...
Buffy: How am I supposed to stay away from you?
Angel: I'm leaving.
Buffy: Where?
Angel: I don't know.
Buffy: Is this really happening?
..... Alright, not gonna lie, but in comparing these two scenes, I think I like Buffy more. I still can't believe that Bella didn't stand up for herself more.
Anyway, more Buffy parallels:
Willow: Yeah, I think he is. I mean, I tried to hope for the best, but... I'm sorry. It must be horrible.
Buffy: I think horrible is still coming. Right now, it's worse. Right now, I'm just trying to keep from dying. (her face contorts in pain)
Willow: Oh Buffy.
(Buffy leans over into Willow's lap and starts sobbing.)
Buffy: I can't breathe, Will. I feel like I can't breathe.

Buffy: Could we not, please? When I think about us, I have this tendency to sort of go catatonic.

The entire time I watched this episode, I felt like I was watching New Moon. It was insane.
The episode is called "Prom" and it's in season 3.
