The first half of Charlie telling Bella how much he loves her when she finally decides to try therapy had me all misty eyed and sniffly. And I suspected something terrible had happened to Rose, I just wasn't sure what. Now I know. :(

Teenagers! That last bridge to reason just isn't complete yet, gets them into trouble every time. That's why putting trust in a responsible adult is so important for a teenager. Unfortunately it's also the years adult seem so dumb.

I love how Bella Googles everything. That's awesome. Bella, dear, please refrain from learning how to kiss on the internet. Edward is more than willing to work with you until you get it right ;)
It pisses me off more and more when I see what Renee did to Bella. Did she only keep Bella around to be able to qualify for food stamps, etc, and to get back at Charlie? So glad she's in jail and is hopefully Bertha's Bitch.
Hopefully everyone will review because I'm dying to get Rose's story.

Getting this glimpse into some of what Bella endured at her mother's hands was tragically sad, but still left me with hopefulness as it still came full circle to show us the incredible support and love she is now surrounded by. Her fears that Alice was losing interest in being her friend and the concern that she will be considered a bother by the people around... well those just aren't going away any time soon. I do think it would be great to see someone dealing with Lauren's mean stunt in class. Bella trying to research kissing techniques was cute. It would also seem that Victoria is maybe not shaping up to be the ideal girlfriend for Emmett. Combined with Rose's reappearance and new willingness to reveal what's happened to her, this could be the start of even more changes for the group. Esme's nurturing and caring nature is going to be such a blessing!

I love this story, and I really like this chapter. I'm really intrigued as to what Rosalie's deal is. I don't think you've given us clues, or if you have, I have completely not seen them, so I am really at a loss as to what she wants to say.
Ps- Love Emmett's point of view for some reason.

Man I was sad reading the abuse but that is what she has to overcome to break the link in the chain of abuse that renee picked up. She will benefit greatly from the therapy. What was the deal with alice that one time where bella was worried? I love the Edward look interpretation from Em. Now Rose is going to tell her story and I don't know if I can take it. Oh yeah vicki got on my nerves this chapter just because she was with em and pouting. Poor rose I feel bad for her but I think they will get back together eventually but she needs to take care of herself first. Until next time and I love the re-vamped blog!

Thank god Renee got what was coming to her!!! How do you treat your child like that? Poor Bella. I'm really curious as to what her and Edward are doing. She feels so much better when she is with him, so hopefully, that will help to calm and relax her after what happened.

This was really great. I think it's really brave of you to tackle such a difficult and controversial subject like abuse. It's something that most people want to avoid, but needs to be addressed, so thank you. Thankfully, I've not experienced abuse in the firsthand sense, but my sister was a victim of sexual abuse. It was almost 18 years ago, but I know that it affected her for a long time. In any case, you're doing good things with this story, and I thank you for that.

I really hope Bella decides to get some help. I would be good for Charlie and Emmett to go to. Maybe even a group session with the Cullen's. They all need to make Bella understand that she is not trouble for them. The life she knew with Renee is nothing like that life she has with them.
I can't wait to see what is going on with Rosalie. I have a feeling it may bring her and Bella together as friends somehow. Great job...Thanks so much!!!

What a great night that Bella and Edward had. It was nice with it just being the two of them, without the others there. They need to do more of that. That's really the only way they get to learn more about each other. When the other's are there, they all just talk about random stuff. And poor Bella bit Edward's tongue.

and I just found this story by randomly looking through the ones that were updated lately.
Date: 22 May 2010 1:06 PM Title: Chapter 19
I assumed that was the reason Alice was acting like that. Leave it to Em to ruin the pixie's plot to get him and Rose talking again. It's nice to see Vicky from someone else's POV. Vicky had seemed to good to be true. Has she been hiding her inner vixen all this time?
Tanya is a crazy bitch. Are we gonna get a tiny Rose POV to see exactly what was said to Tanya? Did Rose take out some of her frustration over life on Tanya? Seeing how psycho Tanya is I fear that she is going to try to do something bad to Bella.
The date was perfect. Great idea for the dinner cruise. The thought of her worrying about the prices never crossed my mind, but that would definately be a Bella thing.
Okay, that kiss had to be the most honest and perfect first kiss for this couple. Between Bella's ignorance of all things sexual and nervousness that was the only way for that to end. Loved it. I died laughing at the last line from Bella and got some strange looks from my kiddos.

Yes! The witch is going away for ten years, that's great! Alice's parting word to Renee were very appropriate, I hope she gets to live every day of those ten years what it is like to be at the mercy of others, when those others have no mercy to give.
Now they have to focus on helping Bella, motivating and convincing her to go to therapy, or something to help her heal.
The way Edward and Jasper, with the help of Emmett, bargained for the right to date the ladies of their choice was very funny, Emmett was a great mediator.

Emmett is perfect as Bella's big brother, he's just what she needs, so funny, understanding, protective and so sweet with her, I like it when they interact more.
Bella deserved a birthday party, and now it seems like she's going to get a great present: Edward is going to kiss her! I hope it does happen and you don't tease us with the promise of a kiss and next chapter it doesn't happen, ok? Both Edward and Bella need it, alright? They need it! lol

What's going on with Emmett? Did he and Rosalie had a fight? I don't think he would be drinking, leaving Bella and his friends if he wasn't upset about something.
Bella still needs a lot of help, she still feels she needs to earn her place among her family and friends, always thinking she has to do things to make them happy and to love and accept her; deep down she hasn't realized she IS worthy of their love just because she is herself and not for what she does for any of them.

Finally! I was wondering why Charlie wasn't doing anything about Bella's evident abuse, even more so because he's chief of police and he knows how to press charges against Renee. The way things worked out, with them even recording her while she hit Bella. That bitch deserves the worst! Sad thing is that maybe she will get out easier than I would like her to.
Now Bella needs a lot of love and reassurance, maybe they can even convince her of going to therapy.
Good chapter!

Oh, the men are all so sweet with Bella, I think the fact that they see her so vulnerable and timid awakes in all of them the desire to protect her and make her feel safe.
How much sweeter can you get that Edward, Charlie and Emmett getting together to give her a puppy? Awww, so sweet! lol
Right now I'm waiting for the crap to hit the fan, things have gone too smoothly, something has got to go out of balance.

[Report This]Date: 11 May 2010 5:07 AM Title: Chapter 7
I'm thinking Rosalie was assaulted or something like that, because of the hints about her personality having changed, she didn't use to be like that before.
I do hope she and Emmett can solve their issues soon, she is alienating herself from everyone, and everyone is turning away from her because of her attitude.
The dynamic between Edward and Bella is going along VERY well, he is feeling very protective and she feels relaxed around him. I wonder if she will lower down her walls and shows him all the hurt, insecurities, and overall damage the witch inflicted on her, or if she will explode with someone else.
[Report This]Date: 11 May 2010 4:10 AM Title: Chapter 5
We don't even know the exact extent of the abuse Bella endured with her mother and I'm already wanting to kill that witch of a mother she has!
Charlie's moment with Bella after her nightmare was very sweet and I hope it helped to reassure Bella a little bit more; I think they need to sit down and have a good, long talk between Bella, Emmett and Charlie because they need to clear a lot of things up with her.
Good chapter!

Ooooooo! I never thought Emmett would break up with Rosalie! And now Rosalie will truly hate Bella, I'm worrying that she will make it very difficult for Bella at school. I hope not, and Rose goes the other way, that is, realizing she needs to change her attitude and talk to Emmett so they can solve their issues.
Good chapter!
