Hey, h29ank! I'm so thrilled that you're enjoying the story! Thank you so much for reviewing, it means the world!!! :)

 

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but chapter 13 is now in with the beta's and will be up real soon. I hope you enjoy the following unbeta'd teaser from Bella in Chapter 13: Friends:

 

Tucking my hair behind my ear, I adjusted my glasses and took a deep breath before stepping out onto the patio. The delicious smell of grilled meat and onions was strong in the air, causing my stomach to grumble with impatient hunger.

 

The bright sunlight shone down on the patio, making me sigh in pleasure from the heat on my skin. I was glad I'd taken off my sweater before coming out into the warm sunshine, but I was still a little nervous about Edward's reaction.

 

He, and everyone else, was listening to Alice tell a story about something her boys did yesterday. As I walked towards the table, Edward glanced at me sideways with a smile on his face. The cheerfulness in his expression warmed my heart, but when he did a fast double take and fixed his eyes on me, a chill of concern made my breath hitch and my steps falter. He trailed his burning gaze over me, up and down. Fearful that he had recognized me as Marie, my stomach churned with queasiness and my breaths turned shallow. I slowed my approach to a near stop, my wide eyes glued to his.

 

I knew I shouldn't have taken off my damn sweater!

 

 

OH NO!!! I NEED MORE! I'm addicted... i just read the whole thing in one fatal swoop and it ends here? NO! I can't belive it.. I won't... please please post more.. and quickly. Thank you.

hmm high school? did something happen in high school or in the past chapters? whatt? or maybe i just have a horrible memory ._.

Author's Response:

 

 

Hey again, oxymoronic! 

 

Good spotting on the high school hint! :) More will be revealed next chapter, but we know from previous chapters that it was after she graduated that she left home. She also mentioned how she used to party a lot when she was younger, that people used to call her a 'slut,' but she's been more of a 'nun' (as Angela put it) since she moved to Seattle. Before Bella slept with Edward, she hadn't had sex in four years - since she left home. I think that's all the hints so far :)
