Just finished reading this story. I am so curious as to what happens next. Any plans on finishing the story?.
Date: 22 Mar 2014 2:41 PM Title: Chapter 6: Almost Is Never Enough
OMG! Should have known this was coming. I feel so bad for both of them. One can feel Edward's pain with her words. At the same time her pain is palpable too.
And jsyk .... Angsth00r here .... looking forward to more. :)
Author's Response:
Hi Ruby! Aww thanks so much for the awesome review. It really made me smile big and made my day! I admit, I have been down about my writing lately and worried this story isnt good enough and sad because I was getting the impression some readers arent liking it. So, Im so happy you are enjoying the angst and that you sympathise with BOTH of them. A few other readers are just kind of bashing on Bella and dont feel bad for her. I get why but still, I wish they would have more of an open mind. Anyhow, thank you so much for the review and for reading my story, it means so much! I will be working on chap 7 very soon. Its over halfway done just have a bit more to write. Till next time, Leslie

So... I Don't want to hurt you but... I woukd like to know what hold Riley has on bella. And, I know they love each other but Edward needs to stop being a door mat and allowing himself to be stepped on. Not to mention Irena...
Well, you do know how to get people to feel. lol
thanks
Author's Response:
Hi there Coulier! Oh hun, thanks for being sweet and saying you dont want to hurt me. You didnt hun, not at all. I have gotten worse reviews for this fic. Well, not mean towards me but just towards the Bella character, haa. But, I understand why. Soon, you and everyone will find out what the deal is with Riley and Bella, I promise. Hmm, I get why you feel that way about Edward, I dont think hes really a doormat, hes just too deeply in love and definitely not good at decision making, lol. I am flattered when you said I know how to get people to feel, thanks. I try my hardest, haa. For real, I wanted to be real as it gets with this fic. I dont usually write perfect characters. I like them flawed, it makes it all the more real.
Thanks for giving this story a chance, I really appreciate it. Thank you for the review too! ~Leslie

Author's Response:
Hi there :) Um, Im not sure why it seems like you have read this before. Unless someone copied this story and posted it elsewhere. Which I really hope not. But, no, I never took this story down on FF. Its still on FF, I never pulled it and put it back up. Its been on ff since I posted the first chapter :) You are not crazy hun, lol. Anyhow, thanks for the review ;)

I am enjoying this story, can not wait to read more and find out why Bella is really staying with riley
Author's Response:
Im so glad you are enjoying it hun! Even though Im aware its a tough read, I thank you for hanging in there with me. I'm glad you are looking forward to finding out why Bella is staying with Riley, you all will have answers soon :) Thanks so much for reading and for reviewing!
Date: 03 Feb 2014 2:24 AM Title: Chapter 5: Goodbye's and Promises
Wonder why she will not leave Riley? You've not left us with the impression that he abuses her, although abuse come in many shapes and sizes. Can he not go on w/o her, does she stay with him ut of guilt? Is there a tie to her mom? And words of never forget that? What is the underlying meaning to her words? Looking forward to what comes next. lol.
Author's Response:
Hello once again :) You asked some great questions, wow! And my apologies because I know I have comfused many of my readers, leaving you all with more questions than I havent given answers to. Its funny though, you have asked the right questions. You are hinting at some of the reasons why Bella wont leave him. I promise you all will find out some answers very soon. I appreciate all of the reviews and for you reading this story. I have the next chapter ready and will post it very soon!
Date: 03 Feb 2014 1:48 AM Title: Chapter 4: Reuniting
I like how you have intertwined the past with the present. Looking forward to more as it unfolds. I thought asking Bella to marry him was quite sweet. Despite each being with someone else they still have that connection to one another. It's all a matter of fixing the picture as a whole.
Author's Response:
Hi again. Im so happy to know that you enjoyed how I intertwined the past with the present. I was hoping I did that well. Haa, its funny I think you are one of a couple of people who enjoyed Edward's proposal. Yes, you got it, you really get it! Thank you, lol. Despite that they are with others they are still so connected and they never lost that connection really. True, its a matter of getting back together and starting fresh and repairing. Thank you again for the wonderful review!
Date: 03 Feb 2014 12:35 AM Title: Chapter 3: Remembering The Past
Ah, young love. It is said one never forgets their first love. I think that is true for many of us. Then again, no matter what the number you always know your true love when you find him/her. Unfortunately in in this case E/B lost their way in their separation.
Irina seems like a good match for Edward. Unfortunately what they have seems doomed in his true line of fate. Please be gentle with her. :)
Author's Response:
Yes, young love indeed and its very true in most cases, one never forgets their first love. Also very true when you said no matter what number you always know your true love when you find that person. Yeah sadly, E & B lost their way for awhile then fate had other plans. I agree Irina was a good match for E for awhile but fate has a way of shaking things up, as you read in the other chaps. Wow, again I thank you so very much for the great reviews! I love ones like these, I love to know what exactly my readers think of my writing/story. Thank you!

I hate cheating but when it comes to E&B I feel no rules apply bc as long as they are together all is right in the world!
Author's Response:
Hello again! I totally understand how you feel. I feel the same way about cheating and as you said though when it comes to E & B as long they are still together its okay, haa. Im so glad you are still on board with reading. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story and look forward to hearing from you again ;) Thank you for reviewing! Xo, Leslie

I really like this story and am glad you are finishing it. I understand that negative comments can really make you not want to finish or post the chapters. I'm glad you are a HEA gal so that does make me feel better about continuing on. I just don't really like it when E and B don't make it. Bella really needs to get her head out of her ass or she is going to lose both guys.
Author's Response:
Hi there hun! Thank you so much for the great review ;) Im really pleased to know that you do like the story and that you are happy I plan on finishing it. I will for sure. I have most of of it prewritten. So this will be completed! Thanks for understanding where I was coming from in my authors note. I was pleased that I recieved better responses with this chapter, it makes me feel good and it pushes me to keep going :) Oh for sure, I promise you I am a HEA gal. I know this story seems so grim but it will have a happy ending! I completely understand why you dont care for a fic where B & E have such troubles that they dont make it. I feel the same way. I love E & B stories where they still end up together no matter the struggles they go through. I do agree with what you said about Bella. She does need to get her stuff together or she will lose both guys. Again, thank you so much for the review and for reading and not giving up on the story! It means so much :) ~Leslie
Date: 04 Dec 2013 5:09 AM Title: Chapter 5: Goodbye's and Promises
I think Edward needs to let Irina go. He loves Bella so he just needs to wait for her and not make someone else miserable too. I am looking forward to seeing how you resolve this.
Author's Response:
Hi Romance! Thanks for another great review ;) I agree with you. I think Edward does need to finally let Irina go and just wait for Bella. You brought up great points. I am looking forward to sharing the rest of the story with you all and for you guys to find out how the rest of it unfolds! Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate it ;)
Date: 03 Dec 2013 11:30 PM Title: Chapter 5: Goodbye's and Promises
I love this story. I can't wait to see what got them to this point. It is so frustrating that Bella would be with someone else. I need to find out why she broke it off with him to begin with. I don't like this Bella too much right now, but I love your writing. Thanks for writing,
Lisa...Gail Cullen
Author's Response:
Hi Gail ;)
Wow, thanks so much for the wonderful review! it really made me smile big. I appreciate it. I am working so hard on this story so it makes it all worthwhile that you and others are enjoying it ;) As for your comemnt on you wanting to know what got E & B to this point. You can re read chap 3, it gives you a look into their past. I will also be posting another flashback chapter soon, so that should answer some of your burning questions too! I can understand your frustration about Bella being with another person. Its hard for me to write. I get too why you dont like Bella much either. But I hope you and others will see her a little differently down the road. Things will get better for these two, I promise that ;) Thank you so much hun for the great review! Im very glad you love my writing and that you are enjoying the story! I appreciate ti so much! ~Leslie

I think Edward needs to stay away from Bella and put his all into the relationship with Irina...and Bella really needs to growup and stop playing with his emotions
Author's Response:
Hi Rclaurel! Thanks for a very honest review and though it makes me sad you feel this way I respect it and I totally get where you are coming from. if I was reading this fic written by someone else, I would prob feel the same, lol. I hope you will still stick on this journey with me and maybe you will eventually change your mind about Edward not being with Bella, or you may not like what happens near the end, lol. I do get where your coming from, especially with Bella, she does need to stop playing around with Edward's heart. She really isnt meaning to. I know it doesnt seem that way but she doesnt mean to hurt him. Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!

Author's Response:
Haa, yeah, you are right. He probably shouldnt have asked. Oh dear, romantic Edward. *sigh* You will find out soon enough why they arent together. At least, things will make more sense once its explained further. More of their past will be revealed in another couple of chapters. I am so happy to read you love this story, wow, thank you! I am working so hard on it and it makes me feel very good you are enjoying it :) Next chapter will be up in a few days. Thanks so much for reading! XO

Im so confused with these two?
How did they get to this place?
Will they ever truly be together or will the cheating continue?
Author's Response:
Hi bommer! I am sorry you are confused. That is my fault as I havent revealed yet as to what led them to having the affair. All that will be revealed in a couple of chapters from now. There will be a long flashback and hopefully that will clear things up. I dont want to give away whether they will finally be together or not. But I will tell you that I am a HEA girl and they may get their happy ending ;) Thanks for the review and for reading!

What about STDs shouldn.t Edward wrap it ?he sleeps.with Irina too! eww !
Author's Response:
Hi Robsfan. When you put it that way, yes. You have a point. But this is only a story hun, lol. I wouldnt expect them to do things that way in real life. Sorry you think thats eww. I have given people warnings about this fic. I noticed its not on your favs list so sorry if I lost you as a reader :( Thank you for giving this story a try though!

Well I can see how they broke up. It sounds like Bella was not really happy with the breakup though. I wonder if her mother had something to do with it. Maybe she was putting pressure on Bella. I can't wait for more. Great job...thanks!!
Author's Response:
Hi Amwine. Wow its a relief to read your review, lol. I really do appreciate it that you understand why they broke up. Many of the readers are just furious with Bella and arent really understanding her and why she did what she did. No, Bella definitely wasnt happy with her choice. It was a very tough one to make. Despite what many readers think, Bella does love Edward and thats why she did what she did. I know it doesnt make sense but to her it does. And wow, you are on the right track about Bellas mom, very good! Im so glad you are looking forward to more and thank you for the compliments. It means so much! Thank you for reviewing and reading ;)
Date: 05 Nov 2013 2:59 PM Title: Chapter 3: Remembering The Past
Well, in this chapter, I am all Team Edward. That was a crappy thing Bella did to him. First of all, why didn't she tell him about FL so he could apply there too? She was not a good friend at all. She is so using him now. I can't wait to see if you can manage to make her seem more sympathetic.
Author's Response:
Hi Romance! Yeah you and about most of the readers are on Edward's side, lol. I can understand why. See because I am only telling this story in Edward's pov poor Bella seems to be the villian here. I never meant to paint her in that way :( I explained in the chapter she didnt tell him about Florida because she wasnt sure if she would get accepted. Edward was already accepted to U of W with a full scholarship. Bella didnt want him to give up that opportunity to live with her in Florida. Of course she wanted to be with him and for them to stay together but she didnt want him to give up his opportunites for her. Yeah, I guess as far as her sneaking around with Edward and them cheating on the people they are with, it looks like she is using him. Hmm, hopefully I can get you all to change your minds a bit about Bella. But Im not sure if that will happen considering many readers are angry with her, lol. Thanks for reading and for reviewing, I appreciate it :)
Date: 05 Nov 2013 1:40 PM Title: Chapter 3: Remembering The Past
I do understand where Edward is coming from. Trying to let go of your first love is almost impossible. His heart never let go so he can't move on. I just hate that she seems to be stringing him along.
Author's Response:
Hi Forever! Im glad to read you get where Edward is coming from. Yes, its very true trying to let go of your first love is almost impossible. No, sadly he really never moved on. Though he was happy with Irina, until Bella came back in his life, it was always Bella. Yeah it does seem that Bella is stringing him along. I can get why you feel that way. Thanks so much for the review and for reading. I appreciate it!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the review. Wow, I am so bummed that many readers do not like Bella. I guess that is my fault for writing her the way that I did. I never meant to paint her to be the bad guy here ;( I know she looks bad but she isnt as awful as everyone believes
and there is her side of the story too. Irina isnt all that perfect either, thats all I will hint at that, lol. Anyway, thank you for reading! I really do appreciate it very much :) ~Leslie

I am curious to know why Bella is straying. Even though Edward is in a relationship, he isn't married like Bella so I can't wait to find out what the problem is. Poor Edward. It seems as though he is getting the run around.
Author's Response:
Hi there Forever! You will find out pretty soon the reason why Bella is straying, or well at least have a better understanding. Im glad to read you are curious to find out more, and more will be revealed about their past in the next chapter. Aww, I appreciate that you feel bad for Edward, some of the other readers dont, haa. Yeah, sadly in a way he is getting the run around and it sucks ;( Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it!
Date: 26 Oct 2013 6:17 PM Title: Chapter 2: Temptation
WOW, she is cheating on her husband and wants Edward to be her play thing when she wants....I am not liking this Bella....He has a life too and a girlfriend but I guess Bella doesn't really care if Irina gets hurt as long as she gets what she wants.,..If she is not happy at home then why did she stay with her husband or marry him when she clearly wants Edward and no one else can have him..
Author's Response:
Hi Rclaurel, great to hear from you! Yeah, it does seem that way that's what Bella is like isn't it? Oh boy, I guess I painted her in a pretty bad light, lol. Im sorry you dont like her yet. I get why but all I can say is, she was aroused and obviously not in her right frame of mind, obviously not thinking with her head, during that call. May I say, dont be too quick to judge Bella just yet. I know she is looking that way. But believe me, she does know the error of her ways, of what her and Edward are doing and she does care. You will find out why she is torn over leaving her husband soon. Sometimes it isnt so simple as people say it is. Anyhow, thanks so much for reading and revieiwng, I appreciate it! ~Leslie
Date: 26 Oct 2013 12:51 PM Title: Chapter 2: Temptation
Hmmm....so Bella is married??? Why did I think Edward would be the one that was married? I didn't like the way Bella was treating Edward. She called and expected him to drop everything and run. I wonder why she is not getting out if her situation. I can't wait for more. Great job...thanks!!!
Author's Response:
Hi amwine! Yes, Bella is the one who is married, not Edward. Im sorry to read you didnt like how she was treating Edward. I canget why you feel this way. Just remember, she was just, well um, horny and not really in the best frame of mind. There is a reason why she wont divorce Riley. Not a huge, complicated reason but one that makes sense for her. You will find you soon. Thanks so much for the great review and Im so happy you thought I did well with the chapter! I appreciate you reading and reviewing ;) ~Leslie
