Bella was great fight back. I hope she can stay just as strong. She should go to college and study psycholgy and help victims of crime. As smart as she is she probably could earn a couple of degrees while she is there with her friends. She would also make a great doctor. Since she already read the books.

I personally feel that Jasper and Rose are better off. They are horrible parents. Are the kids 18 yet? I know they got into Dartmouth. Did they get scholarships? Even if they didn't I am sure they will figure a way for all 6 of them to go.



Author's Response:

Yes, they are all eighteen. They will be fine:)

This is such a wonderful yet painful story. I have cried a bit in every chapter. She has told Emmett and hopefully she can open up to Edward.

Emmett is such a great brother. He has a big responsiblity to shoulder in taking care of Bella. He has heard things he shouldn't have to hear, but of course Bella should not have had to experience such torture either. I hope they are in all the same classes, so he can protect her. Charlie and Renee need to realize that Bella sees adults as hurting her. Her friends are not adults. That is why it is easier letting them in at this time.

Bella had a big day. She held Charlie's hand, hugged Renee and stood up to Jessica and Lauren. She is getting stronger. I am so glad that Edward is there for her. You can tell how much he loves her and she trusts him. Hopefully soon she can tell him everything and their love can grow.

Bella made great strides in this chapter. I am so proud of her. She told Edward and he told her he still loves her. Bella needs to realize that the people who love her will still love her no matter what. It will make her stronger each time she tells her story and lets go of the pain.

I know the nightmares are horrible it causes Bella to get more of the story out, which will help her heal. I am glad that Edward was there to help her sleep after it though. She will be ready to face school if she has her 2 guys with her.

It must have killed Carlisle having to inflict pain on Bella for over 2 hours. Why would she not at least take a topical? Why does she want to go through more pain? She knows Carlisle would not hurt her on purpose yet she made him do it to help her heal. That was actually very crual of Bella.



Author's Response:

After being drugged for years so that men could hurt her, she can't handle that yet. Yes, it was hard on Carlisle but Bella couldn't handle that yet.

I hope Bella listens and stops pitying herself and starts helping herself. She says she doesn't want people staring, well don't freak out on the floor. This causes people to stare. Bella would stare too. Bella is stubborn it is what allowed her to surrive. Now she has to use it to heal herself.

Garrett should have been honest. He should have told her before she entered the school that he had support people at the school for her. He expects honesty and he wasn't honest with her.

I think the students are confused. They want to be loyal to Bella, so they thought the;y had to be mean to Jessica and Lauren. They did not realize that Bella wanted all the abuse to stop. They should all take care of each other. Bella needs to explain that to them.

What a great day for Charlie and Bella. I am teaching my daughter to drive right now. It is a little scary, but it is such a big moment in her life. I know how Charlie feels. You feel so proud even when you really hate for them to grow up and you are showing them how to get farther away from you. It is the same when they learn to walk. You are proad, but in some ways you want to hold tight.

Author's Response:

Of course, she did. She's full of all these crasy feelings and eventually, they are going to overflow and she is going to lose it. But she did not announce that she and Edward had sex, she just wanted him to let her made her own choices. Thank you:)

I just found your story and love it. I understand Bella freaking out when she could not find Leah, but she should have been relieved when she say her. Leah was holding Edward's hand and was happy. This should have been a clue to Bella that everything was alright. Leah freaked out at Seth's touch earlier in the day. She also should have noticed that Emmett a police officer was calm. Bella is going to give herself a heart attack if she doesn't calm down. Her anxiety is not going to help Leah at all.

Your spot on. Bella has a lot of work to do within herself and how to deal with what happened before. eveything you mention was 100% correct and her issues is something that will be explored. good analysing :-)

Author's Response:

Hi and thanks for reading!

Jacob is over Bella in that way.  He loves her as a friend and even said she was good with Edward.  He's not going to break them up.

The next update should be in at least a few days.  I'm reworking the outline and trying to figure out how to tie up the story.  We aren't far from the end!

Actually you were right. Emmett's eyes were a bright blue color. I am kind of upset that Bella was an evesdropper. She ruined her proposal. Shame on her. She needs to let Edward do it on his time.



Author's Response:

Hell and thanks for reading.

I thought it was a safe assumpption to assume Emmett's eyes were blue, thank you for giving me confirmation on it!

Bella kind of walked into the conversation that Jane and Edward were having about the engagement.  She didn't want to interrupt them and make it that obvious that she heard everything.  Plus she doesn't know how or when he'll do it (it's a little ways to go yet).

The next update should be over the the weekend some time.

Bella can't keep a secret. Rose asked her not to tell Edward and she ran home and told him about being asked to being a godfather. She talks about Edward not being trustworthy. Bella is a gossip and an eavesdropper. Edward was just really scared and had to work through some issues. He also received some very bad advice from her brother. Bella needs to realize that she is not perfect. Edward is not either. No one is and as soon as she realizes that their lives will be better. Edward should not have to worry that she might leave at any moment if he messes up.



Author's Response:

Hi and thank you for reading and reviewing.

Bella isn't doing anything to be mean or vicious.  She isn't trying to be a gossip or anything like that.  When she heard Edward and Jane talking about the engagement she literally walked into it.  She wasn't trying to or wanted to hear their conversation.  She also didn't want to walk into the middle of that conversation. She didn't want them to know that she heard everything.

She was also just excited for Edward to be asked to be the godfather and gave him the heads up knowing he could act surprised. She was excited that her family, Rose included, is seeing them as a couple.  

Bella knows she isn't perfect and just wants what we all want, to be happy.  She knows Edward isn't perfect either.  She knows that they both have their faults and they are doing what anyone can do, they are trying their best to work through their issues and whatever comes up. 

Trust me, Bella isn't leaving Edward.  There is no other place in the world she'd rather be than with him and their daughter.

I hope this cleared some things up! :)

The next update will be soon!

This was a great chapter. It made me cry. I was in Jane's shoes. My wedding day was a hard day not to have my daddy there physically. No matter how special the day is you know that some one is missing.



Author's Response:

Hello and thank you fro reading/reviewing.

I'm glad that you liked this chapter but I'm sorry it made you cry!  I have never expirenced the loss of a parent and feel fortunate that I haven't.  I'm sorry for your loss and can't imagine it is an easy thing at any age to go through.

I wanted to give you fair warning that this scene will come up in the next chapter or two (the next two are going to be from Edward's POV and he gets into this a little more).  I wanted to let you know this incase you didn't want to read it.

I'm hoping the next update will be by the end of the week.

I loved the scene at the gravesite. I love how close Edward was with his Dad. It doesn't change when they die. You still talk to them they just answer you differently. Thyey answer in how you in dreams or a sense of wellbeing after a conversation. Edward and Jane will understand this more and more as time passes.

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your review.  First of all, thank you for reading.

There was a point to bring up Esme's illness and I think it will come to light (if it  allready hasn't started to).

Hi and thanks for reading and reviewing.

It is the second anniversary of when they met in the bar where Edward was playing.  Charlotte will be about 14 months when they get married (she was born the end of August).  Boston is so lovely during fall!  I miss living there.

I love Trains song. I saw them in an accoustic show and there was a proposal. It was so sweet. Pat brought them on stage. It was pretty intimate since it was a show before the bigger show. There was only about 30 people. It was so sweet. It was almost like how you wrote this seen except we were strangers and not family.

That sounds very romantic.  I'm sure with a song like that it will be used for engagements for years to come.  It's just simple, which is why I like it (i don't like the pop version, I li ke the accoustic one).  It must have been pretty awesome to see.

 

Thanks for reading.  I'm hoping to have another update by Thursday.  I'm leaving for New York City this weekend, so I won't be back at my computer until Monday night or Tuesday night.  I'm working hard though, I promise!

Esme needs some therapy. She makes everyone suffer because she is not happy with her life. She needs to understand that she has to choose to be happy. She has all the ingredients for happiness. If her attitude doesn't change she won't  make it through cancer treatment. Being possitive is half of the battle.



Author's Response:

I had this conversation between B and E planned for a while adn needed to wait until this point to put it in.  I think even though she is on her wy to being happier, she and Bella will never have the normal mother/daughter relationship.  This is a start though.  Maybe she will turn over a new leaf.


Thanks for reading and the next update will be soon!

I loved it. I can't believe Bella didn't have a baby right away. She should have thrown the birth control away the day of the wedding. I also can't believe she got so sucked into work. She was so worried about Edward and his career, which he gave up for his family. It is a good thing that she married such a wonderful man to take care of the children. He raised Charlotte most of the time from what it sounded like. I hope Bella slows down with the birth of Carlisle Samual. She needs to realize they don't stay little for long, but work is always there.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the chapters and to commetn on them.  It really means a lot to me.

I hoped I betrayed Bella later on with the guilt a working mother has.  I am not a mother so I have no idea what that is like, but I have several friends who either work all the time and don't see their kids or they stay at home.  they had to make the choice of what to do.  i didn't want Bella to give up her dreams, but at the same time I wanted her to have some compassion for the things she missed while she was working.  She was more so worried abotu Edward and his career because he flaked on her before Charlotte was born and she didn't know if she could truste him again with their child.  I think after two miscarriages and a healthy birth, she realizes how importaint time is.  She even said it to Edward towards the end of the story. S he told him how lucky they were because they don't have to work and they can afford to spend time with their children.  Most people don't get that.

Anyway, I just wanted  to let you know, I have started a new story called "Back to Boston" adn I will be posting the second chapter tonight (with an awesome banner!). A little self promotion isn't bad, right?

Thank you again fro taking the time from your life to read my little story.  it means a lot to me!

I am happy that Bella is ok. I was also worried about Edward. He would not have survived without Bella. I hope this help Bella realize that she is a strong person. She needs to emphasize her strengths. She is a survivor and not a victim.

Edward is still the Edward we know and love. I love that aspect of your stories.

Bella needs to stop self medicating with alcohol. I hope as she becomes stronger with the help of Edward she will stop.

Reviewer: sonogal Signed
Date: 03 Jan 2011 Title: Chapter 21: Crash And Burn

Everytime I read about Edward's meltdown I want to cry. He loves her so much and does not want to mess up her life anymore. Grant you he was a little dumb in what he did but he did it out of love. It was not stupider than Bella acting like she did. She should have been angry and not acting like a victim again. If she didn't keep having these weak meltdowns maybe Edward wouldn't think his life was too hard for her to take. The Emmett and Rose need to stop babying her. She needs to grow up and fight for herself.



Author's Response:

Bella is so much stronger by the time be get to where we are in V&V now....but back during this time in LRM, she wasn't quite there yet.  I was also partially trying to convey that Edward has a strong need to be in control of everything touching his life...with Bella he has to learn to let go of that control...at least a little.  Obviously that's the most difficult task he faces.  Thanks!

Edward needed the little talk from Papa C. He should have said it years before and maybe he wouldn't have the reputation and the Tanya situation. Edward has been used by the Hollywood system, but he should have stopped it because it caused nothing but pain for his family. I am glad Papa C gave him his little pep talk. Dads need to do that every so olten.

This was one of the best behind the scenes chapters. Edward was so nervous. Charlie can be such a bear. It really is a show. Bella would marry Edward no matter what Charlie said.

Edward is so patient with Bella. He chastizes himself when he gets aroused, but he is so amazing. I hope Bella gets over her inhibitions soon. She has to know Edward loves her and would never hurt her. She has to trust him. It is time to get over her past if she wants to grow and have a normal adult future.

The press can be so cruel to people. Edward did not deserve to be treated like bad. I never understood the presses need to out people. Who cares if people are gay or not and if they are it is their news to tell when they are ready. Edward made some mistakes in his youth, but who doesn't.

Emmett just has to tease Edward. But you know Emmett would have done the same or worse if he was there and Edward was in the airplane trying to get there. Emmett might have even hit a few cops. He would not stand there calmly.

I am with Edward. I could have done without the jock talk about dicks. No wonder guys are clueless about their friends. They don't really talk to them about anything important. I would have hated to be sitting next to them in the restaurant. They were probably very loud.

I love the part with Edward taking care of Bella's creepy guy at work. He did it with a lot of class.

Now that he found Bella he seems to be always be sporting at least a semi. His mind over matter might not continue to work now that he is near Bella on a daily basis.

Poor Edward. He just needed tiime to think. He wasn't pushing her away. He was needed to think how to fix this mess. Everyone at some point needs some alone time to think. Bella needs to respect that idea. Not everyone is clingy like she is when they are in trouble. Edward has been a loner. He will gi to her when he is done thinking things through. Then they will talk and plan. It is just a different way to deal with stress.



Author's Response:

In the next LRM he will actually deal with the fact that he doesn't let anyone help with his problems.  Bella always has relied on others...Edward is the exact opposite.  This is more difficult for him.  He's been alone dealing with stuff for 7 years....so we'll see.  Thanks so much!
