That....okay that really surprised me. o.o I have never seen someone written Tanya that way..you know bipolar and all that. Hell never have i read that she ODed....so that was a bit surprising. Poor Edward :( I can't wait for the Jacob chapter. Please update soon i'm always watching out for my fave fics to be updated :D

Author's Response:

Hey there Forev, I'm slow at answering this time around. I've already posted chapter 17.

You were among many who were surprised about Edward and his sad history. I don't like how Tanya is always a skank in so many fics, besides, Edward had to be more broken than just a victim of a bad break up. So Edward is broken and afraid of caring for someone again, but Bella is creeping in. ;)

The Jacob chapter is still in the future--we've got nearly a week to fill up with "geting to know you" activities. ;)

Happy reading!

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hmm...It's good to finally know what happened to Edward to make him the way he is.  I can't wait for the Jake visit...hopefully it will be the final push for Bella to get off her butt and realize fully what is going on!  I love your story!!

Author's Response:

Yep, the secret's out. So now Bella knows, and she knows more about him, and she's starting to know that something isn't right in her world. Bella is realizing what is going on. I just posted chapter 17, so you have to let me know what you think. It's a step in the right direction for her. It's a step in Edward's direction. ;)

Thanks for the Storylove! Keep in touch!

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I loved this chapter it was nice to see the two of them getting to know one another better, and for Edward to start opening up to her. I am enjoying reading your story. Nicole

Author's Response:

Yeah--they spent some time filling in the gaps and getting to know each other in a fun way. She makes Edward feel safe, so it's easy for him to open up, also, he feels like he's protecting her, so he's not as focused on what is going on under the surface.

Glad to know you are enjoying the story. I just posted the update for chapter 17. hope you enjoy. Keep me posted, let me know what you think.

Thanks for reading and reviewing,

Aww sweet chapter! Chocolate ixes everything in my world! Can't wait for Jsake's visit this should be interesting!

Author's Response:

They are cute together, aren't they? They'll figure that out soon. And chocolate is going to be a regular feature in my story. It does fix everything and it enhances everything. Just you wait! Jake is six days away---but Bella is already beginning to dread the visit---not a good thing in a relationship of any value.

Thanks for reviewing.

Totally didn't expect that! I thought he was cheated on or something. Poor Edward :(

And now he likes Bella and feels like opening up to her, but she's still with Jake! Oh Angst Galore!

Thanks for the update dear! It was awesome!

Author's Response:

I was hoping for a big surprise. So no, it wasn't mere cheating. Something much more devastating. So a damaged Edward. He needs someone to carefully put him back together. Bella would be the perfect choice. He's opening up to her because she's a good listener, she's not aggressive, and she's a little bit damaged herself.

Angst galore is right. Fasten your seatbelt--a lot more Angst ahead. But the reward is well worth it: Edreward!

Another update in a day or two. I'm flying!

Glad you loved it. hopefully more to love coming your way.

Oh, finally the big reveal! I feel so bad for Edward that he had to deal with something so traumatic. Hmmmm- wonder why he wants to pursue in mental health? It's almost like Bella is healing and therapeutic for him. It's so meant to be, except for that same problem that's been hanging around for 16 + chapters! Let's go Bella- time to get a move on!

Author's Response:

Yep, poor baby. Makes you want to cuddle him---although there's nothing new there---we already wanted to cuddle him. So, this is partly why he wants to pursue a mental health career. You're right about Bella. She wasn't aggressive toward him, just receptive. And since she was already "taken" he felt she was safe to get to know. There's also the fact that the others are coupled-up, so he was kind of left hanging whether he realized it or not. Little did they know there would be sparks igniting.

Now Bella will be getting a move on so she can get her groove on ---with Mr. Rightward.

Thanks for the review.

awesome. I'm so hooked!

Author's Response:

Great! Glad you like it. Keep me posted. These two are just about due for a break. Or break-up.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to review.

this chap ws gud aft a long time!

Author's Response:

When will she realize E makes her happy!

Author's Response:

Oh she's realizing, she's just not acknowledging yet. she's in denial. But she'll come around and realize that she needs someone more mature, someone less controlling, someone who looks exactly like Edward Cullen. ;)

Stay tuned for a revelation.

I think Jake's coming to campus... that's my crystal ball prediction :-)

Author's Response:

Youo've got a damn good crystal ball. Let me know what horses to bet on in the eighth. So, Jake's going to show up and it's not going to be pretty. But it's also not going to be very happy--you will feel bad for the boy. But then you'll get over it and read the rest of this fic. :)

Thanks for the review.

I love this story! I flew through all your chapters today, most likely at the expense of my academic future :P

Keep it up!

Author's Response:

So sorry about the downward spiral of your academic pursuits. So happy you love this fic, on the other hand. Rest assured I will keep it up. Updat in a few days.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to review.

O Jerkob, Jerkob, Jerkob...tsk..what a whiny little ass! All this insecurity is not helping him. Just the opposite. I mean yeah, his suspiciousness and doubts and all have some validation, but it doesn't exactly scream 'I trust Bella'. And that voicemail plus all the "you didn't call me", is just childish. I hope his visit comes soon; he's on thin ice already.

(I know you said we'd feel bad for him once he actually gets dumped, but until then I'm all 'Go with God, but go')

Author's Response:

LOL "Jerkob" And here I thought he was more of a "Jakeass". You so funny! You're right about him though, whatever we choose to call him. He's trying to be too manipulative, and it's just coming off immature and childish. Bella needs someone who is more mature, has goals similar to hers, and who looks esactly like Edward Cullen. :)

You are still going to feel bad for Jacob. But you'll get over it and read the rest of this fic. :)

Thanks for making me laugh.
