Another great Chapter. Can I make a suggestion, that one of the Cullen's confront Bella's 'friends' and give them a piece of there mind, the bunch of them are bitches. Preferably not Edward, he would go soft on them, I think it would be Rose, now she wouldn't hold anything back. Oh well just an idea. Great story.



Author's Response:

Hey Kitty,

Thanks.

Good idea, know that no matter what we have not seen the last of the girls.

Here is the teaser:

 

Edward POV

 

“When I was in the shower, I let the hot water try to wash away the stress of our altercation in the garage. I had it so hot that it would have scalded a human, but to me it was a pleasant warmth. I would always associate warmth like that with Bella, and it would relax me.

 

Bella…when I saw her on that bike ready to leave, my heart broke. I thought maybe I had pushed too hard, and she thought that it—that I—wasn’t worth all this pain and misery. When Alice let me know about her vision, I was angry. I hated being angry with Bella, but I was. I was frustrated that she would shut down on me completely and not speak to me. I was disappointed that her first reaction was to run away, and then I was crestfallen that she’d rather find solace in a bottle than in my arms. I let myself just deal with and get my emotions under control while I stood under the hot spray. I knew it didn’t matter, and that all this change was overwhelming to her. In the immortal words of Emmett, I had to “just suck it up and deal with it.” I knew this wasn’t about me, and that I had to be strong for Bella; however, it didn’t change the fact that it hurt. It cut me to the quick, and I had to try and mask the effect it had on me. I knew helping Bella through this was not going to be easy, but I might have thought it was going to go much smoother than it had thus far. At some point, I would have to talk to Carlisle, or my brothers, just to be able vent. Until then, my needs and emotions had to come second to hers. Once I was sure I was calm and under control, I got out of the shower.

 

I dressed and went into the bedroom to collect my wallet, keys, and cell phone. Just as Bella was entering our room, my cell phone rang.

 

I took the call while she placed the photo and her iPod in her suitcase for tomorrow. It was Lilly, calling about the house. I thanked her for the call and hung up.

 

“Love? That was Lilly,” I told her.

 

“What did she say?” Bella asked as she finished zipping up her suitcase. Though she appeared calm, her voice betrayed her excitement.”

 

Thank you so much for not only taking the time to read this chapter, but also review it. It humbles me to know anyone reads this.

 

Cheers,

~E

ok the girls were a little rougher than I thought they'd be, but I've literally seen "friends" do that sort of thing before too... so it saddens more than it surprises me :P

Looking forward to Bella's stepping up after all that :)

She won't lust a week in rehab, three days max. Sorry to bitch, because it's not just you, but I'm so tired of reading Canon Edward, who has two medical degrees , always acting like he's stupid when Bella faints or passes out or has a scratch. Uh... anyway looking forward to the next update..

Author's Response:

Hey as,

Yes she will...trust me.

I get it, I think there's a reason Dr shouldn't work on family, emotions get in the way. He knows everything that could be going wrong and it clouds his judgement, hence he differs to Carlisle who can keep a level head. Hope this exaplains my reasoning.

that was a great chapter, got a lot out of the way. Just sad it had to end before their night out. I hope like hell that Edward will allow himself to come out of his shell a little & enjoy himself with his mate, like Carlisle told him last chapter! But that gives me something to look forward to in next chapter. The girls were hard but expected, I am just sorry that Bella didn't get to say some of the things she wanted. However, it all works out cos like you wrote, if Bella gets changed then she won't see them anyway. I was expecting Bella to talk to Edward when she left room with Alice & Rose but when she got on the bike I thought she was going to run & then get hurt. I am glad Edward stood his ground & kept talking with her. He didn't control her but expressed his own fears. again, great chapter!!  ~Tracey xoxox



Author's Response:

Hey Tracey,

 thanks for the amazing star rating.

Their night is the next chapter, which I'm submitting today...should be up soon.

Maybe...he will loosen up a little.

It's not the last we'll see of the girls.

She almost did run and get hurt, when I was planning it out that's what happened but it changed my plans and I scrapped it.

He sees that if he's honest then it'll work, she doesn't respond to being controlled or  handled.

you know, they made a good point, she HAS changed alot; she's lost a lot of the fire and badassery from the beginning of the fic. Cause, quite frankly, the Bella from just a few chps ago would have verbally handed them their collective asses on a polished silver platter for talking to her like that. I'm talking Vocal Armagedon. In all honesty, I think you may have made it a little too fluffy since the only time she seems to show any grit anymore is when she loses it. Good chp overall though, keep up the good work :)

loved it, sorry i feel like it has been forever since i have left a review! it was awesome! i love this fic! it has been one of the best i have read in a while! keep it up! and i cant wait for the next chapter! dont leave us too long! :)



Author's Response:

Hey Eddielover,

It's okay, so happy to hear from you now.

Wow that just made my day.

Here is the teaser:

 

Edward POV

 

“When I was in the shower, I let the hot water try to wash away the stress of our altercation in the garage. I had it so hot that it would have scalded a human, but to me it was a pleasant warmth. I would always associate warmth like that with Bella, and it would relax me.

 

Bella…when I saw her on that bike ready to leave, my heart broke. I thought maybe I had pushed too hard, and she thought that it—that I—wasn’t worth all this pain and misery. When Alice let me know about her vision, I was angry. I hated being angry with Bella, but I was. I was frustrated that she would shut down on me completely and not speak to me. I was disappointed that her first reaction was to run away, and then I was crestfallen that she’d rather find solace in a bottle than in my arms. I let myself just deal with and get my emotions under control while I stood under the hot spray. I knew it didn’t matter, and that all this change was overwhelming to her. In the immortal words of Emmett, I had to “just suck it up and deal with it.” I knew this wasn’t about me, and that I had to be strong for Bella; however, it didn’t change the fact that it hurt. It cut me to the quick, and I had to try and mask the effect it had on me. I knew helping Bella through this was not going to be easy, but I might have thought it was going to go much smoother than it had thus far. At some point, I would have to talk to Carlisle, or my brothers, just to be able vent. Until then, my needs and emotions had to come second to hers. Once I was sure I was calm and under control, I got out of the shower.

 

I dressed and went into the bedroom to collect my wallet, keys, and cell phone. Just as Bella was entering our room, my cell phone rang.

 

I took the call while she placed the photo and her iPod in her suitcase for tomorrow. It was Lilly, calling about the house. I thanked her for the call and hung up.

 

“Love? That was Lilly,” I told her.

 

“What did she say?” Bella asked as she finished zipping up her suitcase. Though she appeared calm, her voice betrayed her excitement.”

 

Thank you so much for not only taking the time to read this chapter, but also review it. It humbles me to know anyone reads this.

 

Cheers,

~E

I almost got nervous over this chapter.  Already, she wanted to run away to drink only because of her so called "friends."  I don't think that Bella could ever be the same person after what she experienced from the loss of Edward.  I am so glad that he was able to get her to see the light.  Rehab is only going to be for a little while and then she will be free of it and free to be with the love of her life who is not going anywhere and she will be able to be healthy enough to be changed so that she can be with Edward forever.  THANKS FOR THE AWESOME READING.  Sher

I was hoping Bella would stand up to the girls, not let them verbally bitch slap her. :( Oh well. I can't wait to see how Carlisle and Esme's talk goes with Charlie and Renee! And Edward and Bella's night... ;D Great chapters! Sorry it took so long to review, I've had some family stuff lately. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Hey Jazz,

I don't think they did. I think that she stood up to them to a point, but she's weak and  fed up and tired of fightening. Don't worry it may not be the last we see or hear from the girls...also this day will be decussed so we'll see if Bella has any regrets.

I just wrote the Charlie and Renee calls...hope you like them...it's ch 36.

E&B's night...next chapter.

Aww hope all is well, sorry to hear you're dealing with crap...I know how that is.

Great chapter as always :( I loved how she stood up to Alice regarding hoodies etc, but Edward in the garage.. I wish he had just given her a little lee-way and allowed her some space to breathe before she left :(  Just a little ride, away from her personal shadow..



Author's Response:

Hey Belkatya

Wow thanks.

I agree about Alice. My thinking with Edward was that he really was afraid for her. She was still upset, had gone through the emotional wriger and fainted,  a lot could have gone wrong. everytime I tried to write the scene with her leaving on the bike it didn't end well or wasn't beliable. In the orgnial scene he went with her on the bike, riding behind her...really seemed far fetched.

Excellent chapter!

I knew the girls would be difficult, but I was hoping that they would understand a little bit. They don't want to lose her but I was hoping they would see that she was wasting away...Maybe one day in the future they will.

The garage part was really good. I'm glad that Bella talked about what she was feeling and didn't do anything stupid. Now she can take another step forward. =)

I can't wait to see what happens next!

Hey sarah,

LOL. Wow i can't believe how awesome your review was.

Here is the teaser:

 

Edward POV

 

“When I was in the shower, I let the hot water try to wash away the stress of our altercation in the garage. I had it so hot that it would have scalded a human, but to me it was a pleasant warmth. I would always associate warmth like that with Bella, and it would relax me.

 

Bella…when I saw her on that bike ready to leave, my heart broke. I thought maybe I had pushed too hard, and she thought that it—that I—wasn’t worth all this pain and misery. When Alice let me know about her vision, I was angry. I hated being angry with Bella, but I was. I was frustrated that she would shut down on me completely and not speak to me. I was disappointed that her first reaction was to run away, and then I was crestfallen that she’d rather find solace in a bottle than in my arms. I let myself just deal with and get my emotions under control while I stood under the hot spray. I knew it didn’t matter, and that all this change was overwhelming to her. In the immortal words of Emmett, I had to “just suck it up and deal with it.” I knew this wasn’t about me, and that I had to be strong for Bella; however, it didn’t change the fact that it hurt. It cut me to the quick, and I had to try and mask the effect it had on me. I knew helping Bella through this was not going to be easy, but I might have thought it was going to go much smoother than it had thus far. At some point, I would have to talk to Carlisle, or my brothers, just to be able vent. Until then, my needs and emotions had to come second to hers. Once I was sure I was calm and under control, I got out of the shower.

 

I dressed and went into the bedroom to collect my wallet, keys, and cell phone. Just as Bella was entering our room, my cell phone rang.

 

I took the call while she placed the photo and her iPod in her suitcase for tomorrow. It was Lilly, calling about the house. I thanked her for the call and hung up.

 

“Love? That was Lilly,” I told her.

 

“What did she say?” Bella asked as she finished zipping up her suitcase. Though she appeared calm, her voice betrayed her excitement.”

 

Thank you so much for not only taking the time to read this chapter, but also review it. It humbles me to know anyone reads this.

 

Cheers,

~E

Author's Response:

Hey Daylen,

 First off I'm sorry I just saw your revire and the next chapter was posted...talk about bad timing. So Sorry, I won't bother with the  teaser.

Not dangerous...that's all I'll say if we're talking about her and Edward...I can't pormise anything else.

Your reading and reviewing means the world to me.

Thanks.

Cheers,

~E
