It’s was perfect. I waited and it was worth it. I remembered reading the early chapters with the attack and feeling anxious for the story to complete. Rereading it all at once it flowed very well. I could not tell where the breaks in posting were. This was about as much angst as I can take, heart wrenching. But they faded off into the sunset. Bravo and well done. I have voted too.

I read this story straight through and I loved it.  My heart broke for Bella and Edward, but I was rooting for them the whole way.  Thank you so much for finishing their story. It's been really hard for me to put it down when I was supposed to be working here at home.  I know I didn't get very much accomplished on Thursday and Friday because all I wanted to do was read MT! I've got you on alert and I look forward to reading your stories in the future.  I'm seriously thinking about rereading this one before I go check in the WIP in my favorites.

This story has grown so much and it has become very dear to me. Thank you so much for it! (I hope I was able to express my thoughts in correct grammar. While I enjoy read  English texts, I am not used to write or speak English. I am sorry!)

Reviewer: ColouredWilde Signed [Report This]
Date: 25 Mar 2020 10:52 AM Title: Chapter 32

There are times when I'm reading this, especially at the beginning where I'm jarred by the change in tone or maybe flow of the story. It's subtle, but it's there. Also, please correct me if I'm wrong but psychiatrists only prescribe the medication whilst psychologists perform the active counseling with the possibility of prescribing medication depending on their training.

Those are just small things that stood out to me as I've found and read this beginning to now in a few short days, it seems like you've found a steady tone/voice/flow at this point. All my feelings follow.

So good that I couldn't stop reading. This is beautiful. Beautifully written with beautifully full characters, full of depth, full of something so tangible that it aches. I am grateful that this is a story that I can read. Your talent, skill, and joy of writing is plain to see in every word. I love that there's a real relationship here, something with roots. It's not borne of fantasy and mystical frivolities, at least not in its entirety. These characters are people I know, people who I want to be in some ways. I've read a great many fanfiction and while each one holds an enjoyment, very few manage to make me feel just as immersed, drawn in, and captured as if I were reading an original story complete with characters who I need to, and want to, meet. 

I am very much looking forward to whatever is next for these unmistakably beautiful and artfully crafted characters. 



Author's Response:

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Your honest critique and kind words combined made for one of the best reviews I've ever gotten. 

I started writing this story WAY back in 2010, then stopped writing in 2013 after reaching to ch29. The story was then on hiatus for about 6 years. What I've struggled with most is that I was young (22) when I first started writing it and it was also the first story I'd ever written. The heart of the story and the ideas were there but my writing skills weren't up for it. (Of course, my writing skills got to where they are BECAUSE I started writing it, but such is the way of it...). I'm not at all happy with the way earlier chapters of the story are written. It's a real sore spot for me - so much so that it robbed me of the inspiration to keep going many times. I had to get myself to ignore them and not think of it in order to keep writing. Re-writing them is just not something I can bring myself to do - the heart and inspiration is not the same to me in a re-write. Recently, I did go back and do a bit of clean-up on earlier chapters, but without a complete re-write they are what they are unfortunately. The change in tone/flow you notice is probably due to 1) I was a new writer back then and my writing was a bit more all over the place 2) I've gone back and done some clean-up that may have inadvertently caused this, though I had hoped to avoid it. I hope it's not too bad. While I'm disappointed to hear that it IS noticeablely jarring, I do appreciate you telling me, because it is soo difficult for me to judge it myself, having agonized over those earlier chapters far too much already. If I feel up to agonizing them some more I may take another look :P

You are correct regarding the psychologist vs psychiatrist. I'm not sure how I made that mistake since I do know the difference, but I wrote that chapter over 7 years ago so who knows! I'm going to go in and correct it. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thank you very much for the lovely compliment. That's the best gift. And at least I know my earlier chapters are still readable to get through and hopefully not as cringe-worthy as I sometimes fear!!

Thank you so mu h for this chapter! There is so much heavy stuff going on, yet your writing is so sensitive and beautiful. It is special to see how much more in sync Bella and Edward get, they really become equals, the vampire-human - difference doesn't matter any more. Be is her strength and she is his.

Then the scene with Billy. He was wrong, so very wrong,  it he is suffering as well. He has lost his son, his  best friend and his social standing. And there is the enormous guilt he feels. It crashes him. Even in this pain and desperation you manage it to write of a new beginning. Not cheesy, but subtle and oh so powerful at the same time. I am in awe. Thank you!

I stumbled across your story and have been reading it straight through. I'm not sure how long it's been since you've updated or how far the story has gotten, but I love this story. I don't usually read stories that are unfinished that haven't been updated in a while but something about your story grabbed me and that was the end of it. I do hope you're still working on it but I will put this in alert and keep my fingers crossed. This story is awesome and heartbreaking at the same time!

Well, now that I've read all 29 chapters pretty much (almost) without stopping, cuz I just couldn't put it down, I don't know what to say except, WOW! This is a really amazing story. I never realized what a person who is victimized in this way goes through afterward. It's not something you can understand if you haven't experienced this kind of trauma. You did an incredible job of laying it out there in a real way. The relationship between these two is sometimes shocking; the extent of their feeling for one another. Well, now I am absolultely in need of the next chapter! I think that the two of them need to continue to see the doctor to work through their issues, although, some of them are supernatural in nature and cannot be discussed in her presence. She asked the question that pretty much summed it up: Who takes care of Edward? Maybe now he will let her take care of him the way he takes care of her. If he can allow this even before she is changed, well, that would really be something. Thank you so much for writing this story. I cannot imagine what it has taken for you to be able to do this. It could not be easy for you. You are an excellent writer. Thank you, thank you. Congrats on the job! Sounds like it's a really interesting one. I wish you all the best.



Author's Response:

Thank you so, so much for your kind review. It means a lot. Tackling this subject in a real way is important to me, even though it's not an easy one to read or write. Thank you for taking the journey with me and these characters. It's nice to hear from someone who appreciates its sensitivity. 

And I liked your comment about it really being something for Edward to let her take care of him even before she's changed. That's something that I felt wasn't done well in the books. The characters and their relationship wasn't developed enough. Being physically equals is one thing but Edward and Bella also needed to grow and strengthen their relationship internally as well and it needed to happen BEFORE Bella was changed. It seemed as if SM felt that having Bella physically his equal solved all their problems. But there was much more to it than that in my opinion. 

Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

On a more personal note, don't despair in your job hunt. It took me almost a year to find a job after I graduated from law school, so I know how difficult it is. But remember all you need is one person to say yes. I'll hold good thoughts for you.

Sandra is right. Bella needs to let Edward know that she is there for him as well. He can talk to her about his fears. She needs to open up to him about therapy. He works so hard not to hear everyones thoughts. I think he is getting a vampire type of headache. He hasn't relaxed lately from this blocking. Being with Bella would probably help them both.

I just have to say I love this story, I feel sorry that Bella has had to go through that, I don't wish that sort of pain on anyone, but I know she will get through it in time, I would love to see a weeding and honeymoon and beyond, see what she is like as a Vampire.

Well first of all congradulation on your Masters..  and I do understand RL is more important then fic.   2nd sorry that someone tried to copy your story that not cool..    I 'm so glade you decided not to stop writing because of the person. . that would have been to sad.  

This chapter brought of stuff to a head.  for Bella and Edward. 

Love rennee questioning Edward.  only a concerned mother would.  I know I would. 

I think Ch/R are seeing each other.  They have bound it over there daughter.. 

this was Beautifully down,  Please I don't think it going to slow..  You need to get a feeling of how they are coping with rape and stuff. 

Plus it would be hard to believe that Bella find the next day.  NO WAY!

So please keep what your doing, it great

That was definitely not a filler chapter.  As sucky as it was to see Bella have a panic attack at the grocery store it was so necessary.  Just because Jake and Tanya are dead doesn't mean that is a magical fix to what happened to her.

Someone is giving Charlie a hard time on the phone.  I'm wondering if someone on the rez is doing it.  Maybe one of the wolves who really doesn't care of the Cullens and thought Bella had been leading Jake on.  I could see one of them blaming Bella for everything that happened with Jake.

It still kills me to see Edward unconsciously slip back into behaviors that he was used to with Bella before the attack only to realize it and stop what he was doing.  I wish he would see that Bella not stiffening  at the gesture is enough to realize she is happy to have him doing it.

Good luck with your thesis.  Knowing what's going on in your life makes the wait between chapters worth it.



Author's Response:

I'm so glad to hear you say that. Even though there wasn't a lot going on in this chapter, I felt it was important. You have hit it exactly -- Just because Jacob and Tanya are dead it doesn't mean everything will magically be ok! Unfortunalely these things take time, and it is important to me to show this. It means so much to know you agree. 

That's some good thinking. I won't give anything away by saying anything more, but I love hearing your thoughts! Thanks for that.

Yes, it's a difficult situation on so many levels. Unfortunaely they still have much to work through. 

Thank you very much for understanding about my slow updates and for not forgetting about this story!

Oh my gosh Lisa darling I missed you!! *hugs* I was beyond thrilled like had this huge smile on my face when I saw an update from you ;) Oh hun this chapter was perfect! I love a good filler chapter, well actually to me it wasnt really such a filler in a way. Everything in that chappie was important. I mean we all got a good look into what Bella is still going through. Her healing process her daily struggles. Its still going to take so much time. And unfortunately that trip she took to the store proved just that :( God I got teary eyed during that entire scene. My heart just broke for her. *shakes head* She has been through so damn much and like i said its still a long road ahead. But thankfully she has Edward, The Cullens, Charlie and Renee to help her through it. Speaking of Edward oh my gosh I cant say enough how much I adore your Edward! We have talked about this before. He is just so sweet, gentle, thoughtful, caring, I could keep going. I really really love his character. Awesome job hunny and I love your Bella too. Really they pretty much follow the books in a sense but you also did your own spin too. I mean character wise.

Anyhow and poor Charlie he is just at his wits end. He isnt sure what to do, say and I know its hurting him to see his daughter go through so much. I definetly agree with Edward, Charlie and Bella need to have a heart to heart and from there they can move on and Bella can let Charlie help her more with the healing process. I think the get together with Renee will be interesting and it wont be as bad as Bella thinks lol. I really loved the scene at the end with them watching a movie and the cuddling. Oh wow Bella seems to be ready for them to have a little more intimacy which is a big step. Baby steps but thats good. Hopefully Edward will be comfortable enough to recipocate. I think they need to talk about that as well so they are at the same level with that. Again that will all take time. But it was so great to read them haivng such tender moments :) And as far as you and school, hunny finish what you need to do. We will patiently wait. I am very proud of you! You are doing awesome, keep up the good work. Hang in there it will all pay off. Though I admit I am so looking fwd to the next update. Thanks so much and I cant say enough how much I love this story
and adore your writing its beautiful, *hugs, Leslie



Author's Response:

Leslie!! You are just beyond nice! I wish I could reach through the computer and hug you!!! 

I'm so happy you felt everything in this chapter was important. I know there's not a lot going on and that things were progressing slowly, but this story is just too important to me to just rush things. I wanted to show the entire healing process. It means so much that you see how this chapter was import to show everything Bella is working through. And I'm just beyond thrilled that you adore my Edward!!! 'cause I love him to bits as well! *sigh* I really need to get myself an Edward, lol. 

Yes, poor Charlie. I think many people forget how hard everything is on Charlie as well! Although Edward & Bella will always be the focus, I think it's important to show how everything is effecting him as well. So glad you liked the moviei cuddling scene! Yes, Bella is slowy moving forward. Baby steps -- that's exactly it --well said!! 

Anyway, thank you so much for your lovely review. I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me.

Lisa,

I loved this chapter, especially Edward finding Bella at the grocery store. I have no idea what's up with Charlie; I wonder if it's Bella-related or work-related, or possibly both. There's a small part of me that wonders if this is Renée-related. I definitely believe he's keeping something from her, but I don't know why.

I believe Edward when he says he doesn't know anything about Charlie; he wouldn't keep anything serious from Bella.

One thing I really like about this story is how sweet and understanding Edward is, and how in-character he is. He never forces Bella to talk about anything that's scaring her, but when she does want to talk about something serious he definitely listens.

I do have one question. How did Edward know where Bella was? Did he get to Charlie's and read her note, or did Alice have a vision and tell him? It's not that important; I'm just curious.

Very good update and I look forward to reading more.

I never even considered the fact that Edward would feel like he was the one hurting Bella and seeing her look at him with such fear.  His actions and mood make so much more sense now.  I'm just glad it's out there and they can both start to heal from this tragic mess.

Honestly, just because they are get married doesn't mean they have to consumate it that night.  I know Edward would wait forever if that's what she needed to be able to touch her and make love to her.  Just the fact that she would marry him and bind herself to him in that way would be enough to make him happy.  Hell, in the books that's exactly the way he intended on their relationship being before she started working on the compromise.

Thank you for leaving us with hope in our hearts for a slow beiginning to a happy ending for B&E.

Hey Lisa :)

As always it's great to hear from you! No worries about the late response, I so understand :) I really can relate to how life can be lol. I'm just happy to hear from you and enjoy chatting with you back and forth! You are so welcome for what I said, I truly mean each and every word. I know it's a great feeling isn't it? The accomplishment you feel over writing what you exactly untended to and how it's touching so many others in many different ways. Again I have to say a lot of this story is very realistic and whats what makes it all the more special and just amazing. Yes exactly thank goodness after the ordeal they went through that things are finally looking up for them.

They certainly deserve it and I so look fwd to seeing what the next chapter brings for them and the ones after. I know its going to be fantastic. Haa, I so understand what you mean about writing Edwards pov. I am serious when I say you did a perfect job with it. You really have his character down to a T. Its not easy at all, as you said to write our sexy brooding Edward, lol. That's why I dont write his pov in my story. All though I will have his pov finally in a couple of chapters. I'm working on it now and yeah its a bit tough lol. Again, yes its very true, what it all comes down to is, you can write anything that you wont approve of and sometimes as much as you want to make the readers happy, you have to take the story in the direction you planned, no one else's, you know? You are so very welcome I know this from experience, lol. I found myself almost changing things many times because of readers responses or thinking of redoing a lot. Then I think, no this is my story and I will write it as I envisioned. Sure I may have tweaked it a bit here and there and defiantly take my readers suggestions to heart. Anyway, glad you got where I was coming from and you are welcome again, anytime. Looking fwd to reading the next chappie. Take care and ttys, BIG HUGS back, Leslie

Bella needs to realize that Edward has always feared hurting her if they were ever intimate. This whole thing with Jacob brought it out even worse. Now she has been abused and raped. He is going to be even more scared about their wedding night and honeymoon. Even though he loves her more than anything, he is scared of loosing control.

Reviewer: grabadietcoke Signed [Report This]

I can see why you decided to keep the secret from her parents. Pretty sound reasoning to me.

I like that Edward isn't perfect and infallible and that his family has circled him to support him. While the trauma happened to Bella, it also happened to him as her partner.

His reasoning around waiting on the engagement is sound too - I get why she wants to move forward now, but its not exactly the happiest of motivations and he is finally making progress with Charlie.



Author's Response:

So true--Edward needs a 'rock' so that he can be one for Bella.

Yes, I think it would be a bit of a shock for Charlie and Renee to hear they are getting married so soon after everything that's happened, and since Edward can read their minds, he knows it's not a good time yet.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I absolutley love this story. I just heard a new song by Jana Kramer and loved it maybe you will too...kinda fit into this story too. lol

 


Don't tell me love is something you wont try again
That's just not true
But baby right now, maybe what you need is a friend
Well I'm here for you

[Chorus:]
I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
When ever you call
And I wont change my mind
No, ill see you through
And I won't give up, no I won't give up, I won't give up on you

You need someone who knows you from the inside out
The way I do
I've seen you walk the wire, never looking down
I believe in you

[Chorus:]
I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
When ever you call
And I wont change my mind

No, ill see you through
And I won't give up, no I won't give up, I won't give up on you

I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
And I won't give up, no I won't give up, I won't give up
You can call it love,
But I won't give up on you


Author's Response:

Aww, thank you so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying! And once again thanks so much for pointing out such a lovely song! Music is always such an inspiration for me. I think this one fits really well too. Especially the line where it says 'maybe what you need is a friend.' That is so true with Edward and Bella here because of how Edward is so understanding of Bella's problems with intimacy and that he we be whatever she needs him to be, whether that's a protector, lover, or just a best friend. 

I love it! And I'm so touched that my story has inspired you with music! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi Lisa :) Sorry I took a bit to get here :( But let me tell you I was estatic to see a new chappie! My gosh hun thank you so very much because I know you have been working so incredibly hard on your thesis and yet you still managed to write out a chapter! It was well worth the wait :) Heartbreaking? Yes very much so but that was to be expected given what these two have been through. My God have Bella & Edward been through the ringer. What amazes me with this story is that besides the vamp/wolves aspect of it, the rest is very realistic. The way you write these characters emotions is raw and geninue. I really appreciate how you capture it all and how, as I said, make it realistic. Because in real life, it would take a long, long time for someone in Bella's situation to make it through a very tragic, horrific situation. Despite all that they went through and even though there was moments where they drifted apart, they still had their deep love and devotion for the other.

 

Thats what helped them unite back to each other, thats what will keep helping them through the long road ahead of them. But at least theres a bright side finally peeking out at the end of the long dark tunnel. Wow I was just so heartbroken for Bella because Edward kept her at arms length that really had to hurt. But then on the other side of things, which by the way Edwards pov as fantastic! You gave us a wonderful view into Edwards mind, emotions and where he was coming from. He is so blessed to not only have Bella in his life but the Cullens because there a loyal family through and through. The scenes with Edward explaining to them what Jacob had forced Edward to see, so beyond gut wrenching. The tender moments with Ed & Esme, then Ed & Carlisle, truly moved me. I especially loved the end of the chapter when we finally see some happiness for those two and some hope. Hun, i agree I personally dont think Charlie and Renee should know about the vamps and all. I think you made the right choice for you. Just remember dear its your story. Yes, all though we as authors want to please our readers as much as we can. But in the end, its about what we had envisioned, because well we wrote the story for ourselves, but we also love to share it with others, you get what I mean? Anyhow dear, again such a beautiful, sad, chapter. I have to say once more you have a way with words you truly, truly do! Well Lisa take care and look really forward to the next chapter, *hugs, Leslie



Author's Response:

Hi Leslie! Sorry for my late reply. But once again, I want to thank you for your very kind words. It truly means so much to know everything in this story is coming across the way I intended and that it's realistic (aside from the supernatural aspects, of course!). It is so true that it takes a long time to get past what these two have gone through. But things are definitely looking better for them now that they have talked through things. 

Thank you for your compliment on EPOV. I found his pov difficult to write. And I felt so bad for him, but at least he is lucky to have a family support system! 

You are right--I can't write anything I'm not happy with. even though I also like to please my readers. I totally know what you mean and thank you for reminding my what's important!

Big hugs!
