omg....so sad....but he deserve it.....

DAMN LADY. I got goosebumps when I was finished reading! My emotions were so two-fold on this. Half of me was so incredibly proud of Bella for picking up and leaving him... for having the balls to do something like that. I've been the other woman, he wasn't married, just dating her, but I've been there, and I know how hard it is. I did it once, and let me tell you, I will NEVER do it again. But the heart wants what it wants, doesnt it?

I also felt sad for both of them. Our decisions in life have the potential to make us unhappy just as much as happy, and how are you to know when you make them? I believe that sometimes, when you get married, you do it for the wrong reasons, and should you be stuck, unhappy, in a loveless marriage? I don't know the answer to that question. I suppose its a personal choice; I know there's right and wrong, but matters of the heart aren't always black and white.

They clearly loved each other, but sometimes, (as Paper Heart proves, lol!) love just isn't enough. I feel horrible that they had to lose each other, in the end. You really write so beautifully, my dear. Even though it was short, I felt each peak of emotion just the same. Bravo to you.

I don't even know what to say to this.  Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but it's all I'm coming up with.  Thank you very much. 

The heart does want what it wants and - at least in my mind - very little in life is black and white, and love isn't always enough.  I was so pleased with how this piece came out, especially its length.  I'm trying to be a little less verbose with my writing without sacrificing my style or the feel of the story. 

People seem to really want to see this continued, but I just don't know.  I don't want to ruin a good thing.  Who knows?  Thanks again, and keep up the good work on PH.  Mwah!

great one shot!!! i loved it!!! you really should turn it into a story!!

Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  It was only ever intended to be a snapshot about exactly what  the lyrics at the end say...not knowing what you've got til it's gone, and the prospect of living with that regret.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and don't want to screw with that.  If I could come up with an outline that wouldn't screw up the story, I might eventually continue it, but it would be in the future as I have several things lined up ahead of it. 

Thanks again though.

Truly excellent.

The choices that we make in life carry consequences, and not everybody gets a second chance. And sometimes, we really don't know what we have until we lose it.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  I love that you've really grasped the theme of the story.  You put a big smile on my face.  Thank you very much. 

Great one shot. Any chance of writing more chapters?

Author's Response:

Thank you very much. 

People have really been clamoring for me to continue it, but I never saw it as anything more than a o/s.  If I could come up with an outline that I felt was solid, believable outline, I might, but it wouldn't be for a while.  I have at least two projects lined up ahead of it, and a multi-chap fic that I need to finish before anything.

Thanks again.

I found this really refreshing to see Edward lose Bella, and quite deserving.  I'm a fan of E/B, but there have been quite a few times when I've read a fic and wondered why in the world she would bother to take him back after he's done XYZ to her?  So good for her!  I just really hope she's happy with Jacob.  And I hope Edward regrets what he's done and lost for the rest of his life.  Man, I sound bitter...

Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  lol.  We all sound bitter at times, but he was a jerk and second chances aren't always granted. 

I love this.  very well written.  So sad.  Any thoughts on expanding it beyond the o/s?

Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  Never intended to be more than a one shot, so I'm still undecided about continuing. 

so well written...I hope you decide to mske this one shot into a story

Author's Response:

Thank you.  I am still undecided on continuing it as it was only intended to be a one shot.  Thanks again.

I hope this one-shot becomes a story. I would like  to know how this all turns out. Enjoyed the story so-far, very angsty

Author's Response:

Thank you.  I am not sure if it will be continued.  I never had any plans to, but I may if I can work out a storyline that I like.  I have other projects ahead of it, so it would be a while.  Thanks again.

well that was just totally amazing  i always wanted her to walk out on him just once and leaving him realing   good job   ant wait till the next update

Author's Response:

Thank you very much.  This was written as a one shot, and at this moment I have no plans to continue it.  However, people seem to realy want to see it continued, and if I can work up an outline that I felt was solid, believable outline, I may, but it wouldn't be for a while.  I have at least two projects lined up ahead of it, and a multi-chap fic that I need to finish before anything.

Thanks again.

Well done, Bella! You gave him his chances and he didn't take them. You can't wait around for ever.

Nice little one-shot!
