Hey Eidelweiss,

Yeah, I wanted to start with a bang.

Thanks for the stars, and taking the time to read and review.

I'm excited to see the next one!

Author's Response:

Hey toni,

I'm glad you're looking forward to the next chapter. I'm putting the next ch in the validation queue right now so it should be posted soon.

This teaser is an excerpt from a letter Edward wrote to Bella in rehab:

 

“When I retuned, home, it was Rose’s turn with me. She decided that both the Volvo and your bike needed a tune-up. I know that you’re thinking she did a complete tune-up on your bike already…yes, but Rose is meticulous with our vehicles. I’ll spare you the details, but we spent a lot of time on both. She didn’t let me do much, as I worked the jack and handed her tools and whatever else she needed. Basically, I took over Emmett’s usual job. Also, we detailed your bike; I bet it never looked so shiny and clean. I sent you a picture of it. Yes, I’m in the picture, wearing my coveralls. Both Esme and Alice insist we wear them when we work in the garage. Esme doesn’t want us tracking grease and grime into the house, and Alice wants to protect our clothing. I hope you got a laugh of it; I feel ridiculous in them. It was Rose that made me get in the photo. It was even her idea to take the photo in the first place.

 

Speaking of Rose, we kept up a quiet, yet amicable conversation. I have to say that is all because of you, love. You brought out a different side of her. We never had the best relationship, but the last few years were worse…now I owe her so much. It’s wonderful to have my sister back—something else I have to thank you for. You give me so much, Bella. You make my life full and rich. It’s my greatest hope I can give you the same.”

This chapter was so good! I liked how Bella didn't really get jealous about the hostess, just annoyed at her lack of originality. It shows how comfortable she is with herself and Edward! I wish she'd try more in rehab though. Otherwise it won't work and they'll be back to square one. :/ Great job, can't wait for more!

Hey Jazz,

Thanks.

Yeah, a waitness isn't about to mess with our girl.

 She might just need time to warm up to the process.

Author's Response:

Hey teacher,

 Yes the next chapter is mostly about Edward.

Great chapter!

I think it will be hard for Bella at first and she'll be tough to crack, but after a while, things will get better. Hopefully.

I can't wait to see what will happen next!

Hey Bella,

 Thanks for the awesome stars.

You've got the right idea.

Sounds like Bella is a little closed to the process, but that is to be expected. I hope you don't make her too weak. I know you are sticking with your research as far as the process she will take, but I think it would be nice to see Bella "woman up" and do what she needs to in order to get well. I think she has it in her to do so. Looking forward to the next update as always, just please keep Bella's snark in tact. We can't have her folding in on herself completely, but maybe a little. Lol.

Author's Response:

Hey Jordy, 

Thanks for the stars.

Yes she is a little closed-right now. She is no shrinking violet-that's all I will say.

Snak is not leaving the building.

You did real good with bella's 'first day' reactions to people and situations. It was almost like you interviewed patients at a center about first day feelings. :) Even the most healthy goal oriented (wants help) addict have those feelings of not belonging there, feelings of being out of place, and feelings of wanting to bolt. Very good chapter.

I feel so bad for her right now. I can only hope that by some grace she makes it through all of this.

Please please please get the next chapter up as soon as possible! I really want to know what happens!!!! Tjis story is really interesting and it pulled me in. I just want everything to be OK with their lives again.

Bella should be OK in rehab. She should remember that there is and end in sight and this is all leading up to her changing. Edward should see her regularly and there shouldn't be any major problems while she is in rehab. Too Much Drama!

So, yeah. Can I get a teaser now? Pwetty pwease wif sugar on top?

 

Love, Pixie chick (yes, reference to Alice there)

Author's Response:

Hey Pixie,

Thanks for the stars.

WOW thank you so much. The next chapter hopefully will be up soon. Right now it is with my PTB beta's who are editing it, then I have to submit it for validation here ....I have no clue when it will be but I'm writing ch 42 so know that more is coming RL just gets in the way.

Bella is not longer a big picture girl...it's be hard. There is more  drama comming ...sorry but I love it.

P.s. Love the Alice refernce. I heart Alice even though Bella treats her badly.

What I'd love to know is when is Bella going to lighten up on Alice? She seems alright w/ everyone else. I think it's time for her to forgive her best friend too. 

The letter writing reminded me of my college days. My oldest daughter is blown away at the thougth of writing a letter, mailing & waiting up to 2 weeks to get a response. Sometimes I miss those days.

I'm anxious to see how Bella & Edward handle the separation this time around.

Author's Response:

Hey Twilightmom,

Thanks for the 5 stars, that is very kind.

 I hope soon, but she just won't relent. I think now it has more to do with Alice siding with Charli so maybe once he's dealt with she can deal with Alice.

 

LOL I'm not a letter writer but it seemed like a good idea. But we know Edward he'll deliver them each day so she never has to wait.

Not well that is how they will cope...lol it's a ride...I hope.

I cried so much during this chapter. It was written so well. Having both Edward and Bella's pov's helped me see and understand everything so much better than a single pov. Can't wait for more, as usual. :)
