This seems "realistic" way of things going. I am concerned about Jacob's judgemental and nasty words. What happened in Forks after Edward left? It almost sounds like something more mentally/physically negative happened to Bella (date rape?) that made her even more rebellious that she ought to be. Just a thought, seems she feels unprotected and more vunerable than I would have expected, but I could be overthinking-sorry. Keep writing, I can't wait!

Author's Response:

Hey ginkgo00,

Realistic? Really? Woohooo! I'm SO happy.

I think it gets explained though it's not really what you're thinking but it might be quite a few chapter before it's addressed what happened between her and Jake. But it's not really bad, nothing that didn't happen in the books, though I always thought it was wrong. I love that you take the time to think though this and I like that I think I'm keeping you all on your toes. Please keep the theories and ideas coming, I love them and reviews.

Here is the teaser of ch 17 as promised it is Bella’s POV:

 

“I awoke from my nap and found myself alone in Edward’s room. There were two emotions warring within me: the first was relief, as I had to think some shit over and was grateful to be alone. The second was disappointment.

 

Why are you disappointed? Wasn’t it you that yelled at him this morning? You’ve kicked him out of here before, not to mention you have some serious resentment and anger issues toward him, I chided myself.

 

I guess I wanted to see his face. He seems hopeful, and for some reason it makes me happy.”

 

I hope you enjoyed the teaser. Thank you for taking the time to not only read but also review this story, I appreciate it more than you know.

 

Happy New Year,

You've got Jake in character - whiny, small-minded, selfish, egotistic.
"I'm what's BEST for you, Bella! Now get barefoot and pregnant!"

Author's Response:

Hey Bkwrm,

 LOL omg I was worried and asked my PTB betas if Jake was in character...YAY! So, happy you  thought so. and OMG that last line was way too funny and true.

Woooooonderful! I really wanted to kick Jake's ass - what a massive gross dog. Fuck him. And love love love Edward, even though I might have a girlcrush on this 'new' Bella without the overly drunk and drug addictive problem. I like her blushing, confident, grown-up and together. Throw in some swearing once in a while and I'm on board :-) Edward and Bella deserve a second chance. 10 out of 10.

Author's Response:

Hey Cathrine1604,

Really? that is so kind, thanks.

I know I hate Jake, I think "massive gross dog" was a great description of him. I'm so happy u loved Edward,  I think tryingward is too sweet to pass up. Having a "girl crush" on new Bella, is really cool, I didn't know how people would react to her, but hearing that totally made my day! The swearing will not go away...ever, my dirty mouth translates into fiction lol so no worries on that front. 10 out of 10? you are WAY too kind.

Great chapter!

Jake is a little self centered...Saying things like he did. What does he really think of himself?

I'm glad that Bella and Edward are taking this first step. It's good to see them acting civil and are working on trying to work through everything.

Looking forward to your next update!

Author's Response:

Hey Bella_Cullen884,

OMG thanks for the awesome star rating and the kind words.

Yeah, I don't like Jake ...can u tell? I think he was always self-centered lol.

I'm happy they are trying to be civil and moving forward.

Ah, these last few chapters have been so good! She's definitely talking to Jacob, and that's why Alice's vision went black. Sorry it took so long to review, but I couldn't get on here for a while, and I've finally found some time to catch up on all of the updates. Great job, can't wait for more!

Hey Jazz,

 i know RL gets in the way but I was worried I lost you! I so look forward to your reviews. basically I'm SO happy you are back honey.

You liked them? YAY!

 

Here is the teaser for the next chapter, it answers the question of whom Bella was speaking to after the show.

 

“Bella POV

 

I exited the stage and knew I would be seeing Edward soon. He just didn’t know when enough was enough. I would have to ask him if he had fun emotionally toying with me. I must have been distracted with my thoughts because when I went back to the dressing room with Lola and Liza, I suddenly heard Liza ask someone, “Who are you, gorgeous?” I hadn’t noticed anyone by the door.

 

I looked up, and standing before me was none other than Jacob Black.”

 

I hope you enjoyed the teaser, I know it’s shorter than usually but I didn’t want to give out any other information.

 

Thank you  so much for taking the time to not only to read my story but to review it. These reviews mean the world to me. Thank you again

Hi, enjoying your story.  Your song choices for this chapter were amazing!

I believe it is Jake or Charlie she is talking to, time will tell!  Hopefully, not too much time.

Author's Response:

Hey cejsmom,

Thanks I'm very happy to hear that you are enjoy the story. I'm also happy you liked the song choices, I agonize over them,  and on the forum I mentioned I was searching for a song, and nothing felt right and EDelta gave he the  Charlie Daniels song with the new lyrics and I loved it so I added it in--> Thanks from both of us,

I like how Bella put what she feels into sound so that Edward is in no doubt about how she feels and what is Jacob doing there.

- Jacob (or other wolf)
