Forceful read. I like it.

Now see, a really, hugely, loooong chapter would have made me much less crazy than it ending at that point! lol, :D What a cliffy!

Besides the ending making me want to pull my hair out, loved the chapter. We got lots of Jasper (always a plus for me), some good Bella/Edward interaction, and Jasper comparing himself and Emmett to mother hens. :D What's not to love!?

Emmett and the journals.....just awwww! That big teddy bear can be so sweet and thoughtful when he wants to be and I'm glad his and Bella's relationship is on the mend. Like this chapter, I think it's just about impossible not to love Emmett.

And the journals were a really good idea for Bella. Makes a lot of sense that writing about her feelings would really help her, after all I don't think they'll find a psychologist or something that she could talk to, lol.

I loved that she missed Edward hanging out and that Jasper called him on that and spurred him to change his actions. And then him getting protective and making sure to walk her to all her classes. No matter that the other's tease him about it, I feel like Bella would probably appreciate it considering her earlier-stated worries about Mike Newton.

But poor Edward. Yeah, I think just about everyone but him realizes what is going on. I wonder how long it will take him to realize his own feelings? You gotta love him even if he is a tad bit dense every now and then.

Their discussion in Bio was terrific. “It reminds me that being a mythical creature doesn’t make someone a monster, their actions do.”---definitely a seriously powerful quote and applies for this story on more than one level.

I'm so excited/anxious to find out what's happening (is it Tyler's van?) and to find out what happens on Bella and Angela's Port Angeles trip!

That's the point of cliffhangers though, to make you pull your hair out and curse the writer.  It makes you keep thinking of their story. :)  Mean, but effective.  It's always good when Jasper gets to talk, though Edward hogged most of this chapter.  And I've tried to work out ways to get Bella to see a psychologist, but I kept running into that whole vampires are involved thing.  I don't think treatment would work as well.  Yup, Edward can be dense, but I think the lightbulb's going to go off soon.  At least, I hope it does!  And glad you liked the Bio talk.  I've had that quote in my head since I started writing this story, and I'm happy to finally be able to get it out.  As for what's happening, well, we'll just have to wait and see in the next chapter, won't we. ^_~  Thanks for reading!

I am enjoying the progress of the story and can not wait for more chapters

oh and i forgot to say that i love how Edward was getting closer to bella in this chapter. its good to see them getting closer now =)

i have to know what happens update soon

Author's Response:

I should be back to my usual update schedule, so we've about 10 days before I update again, please be patient with me!  Glad you're enjoying and thanks for reviewing!

Loved the last line from Jasper! So good!

Hurray... Bella and Edward are starting to hang out! :)

I'm pretty sure I recognize the impending scene you ended on. I can't wait to see your take on it and watch it play out through this storyline. I loved this chapter and I anxiously await your next one. Keep up the good work, m'dear.

My lips are sealed about what's going to happen to Bella.  Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Love the story!  Can't wait to see what happens!  Does it involve a van, perhaps?

Author's Response:

My lips are sealed about what happens next, and I've thrown away the key.  :)  Glad you're enjoying!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I cant believe you left it there!!!!!!! Man o man... Anywho so I really hope that sometime soon Edward comes to his senses and finds that he loves Bella cause I dont know how much longer I can wait! LOL. Update again super soon!

Thanks for updating! But why did you have to leave it on a cliffhanger? :( I hope that Edward gets his head out of his butt. I'm glad that Bella has the journal to write in. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response:

He wouldn't  be the vampire we know and love if he was rational about all things concerning Bella. ^_~  Glad you're enjoying!

not very nice!

Author's Response:

Sorry!  I know cliffhangers are the worst, but it had to end there, otherwise there would be a 20+ page chapter and an even longer delay in updating.

 

“It reminds me that being a mythical creature doesn’t make someone a monster, their actions do.”

I really really loved that line, great update!

 

Author's Response:

I've had that line in my head since I started to write this story, I'm just glad I can finally get it out!  Glad you're enjoying and thanks for reviewing!

Oh, you did not leave us with that little cliffie!  Mean!  I hope we don't have to wait too long to find out what she had to look out for!

I also hope we won't have a Port Angeles incident like in the book.  The poor girl has been through enough!  Of course, then Edward could be there to save her again.  I wonder how long it will take him before he asks her to the prom, and recognizes his feelings for her.  I also wonder how long it will be before she recognizes her feelings for  him.

Author's Response:

I'm afraid I did, and I know it was mean.  My lips are sealed regarding everything else in your review.  I can't say anything without giving away further plot points.  Rest assured we still have quite a ride to go, though.  :)
