Well shit sherlock!!!  Anyone would be a fool not to have seen this coming.  These people all made the wrong decisions and none of them were communicating with the right people.

Odd thing is that I can see both Bella's and Edward's sides in this situation -- Yep I'm a Libra.

Alice -- haven't liked her from the beginning -- flighty, self-centered, girl that just wants to have fun and really doesn't give a rat's ass about any one but herself.  But, thank you Alice for putting the hurts on Jasper!!!!

Jasper -- haven't liked him from the beginning -- felt it wouldn't be long before Alice showed him turn around is fair play -- he got what he deserved.  He's a user.  Is so wrong to expect Bella to be his be all, tell all friend.  He should not have called her.  He had to know that this would create problems.  Enjoyed reading that he felt Alice was the one -- now he knows how Bella felt when he told her she wasn't the one. 

Bella -- well I haven't really liked her all that well from the beginning either -- she was starting to make me see otherwise -- only problem - she allowed Jasper to still rule her world to some degree.  I believe in helping friends, being there for them.  But not to the extent that you and yours don't come first.   And just up and run on a Code Green -- She can't be that kind of friend to Jasper - so wrong.  I can also see her not truly understanding Edward's response to this situation.  But Edward can't see in her mind and actions do speak louder than words.   After Bella's and Edwards argument of the prior night, she should have known that running to Jasper as his beck and call friend would create problems with Edward.  She could have possibly given him a few minutes on the phone before Edward got there.  How could she have forgotten that she had a date with Edward.  I so don't like her decisions here.  The word here is communicate.  

Edward -- I have enjoyed Edward's charachter development.  I still feel that there is something much deeper and a lot that still hasn't been told.  Too many insecurities.  But there is still the issue of the Vodka Cruiser too.  Why didn't he just spend the money for a new blender?  He wanted to confront Jasper.  Pissing contest????  And I can't blame him for being upset after finding Bella there with Jasper,  even if he did make the wrong decision to go after the blender.  What else was he to think.  Jasper in his PJ's and Bella without shoes.  Just not right.     Payback can be a bitch - you did forget you had a date with ere (but under different circumstances).  I so don't like Edwards decisions here.  Again, the word here is commuicate.

Girl you really know how to stir the soup pot!!!  Get my hackles up!!!  No one is happy at this point, except maybe Rose and Emmett - but you know, they weren't in this chapter so who knows about them?

I love this big up and down, confrontational wonderful storyline - I am so enjoying your talented writing abilities in this story.  As you can see from my reviews, I have read this story in one day -- I have really tried to be good about reviews.  So I feel I am entitled to say that it is really gonna be hard to wait until next Tuesday - and update soon - ha ha ha

Thank you for writing this story and yes I can be a bit wordy -- sorry.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your wordy words. Haha. I enjoyed reading your review. It was refreshing. I don't have too many readers that can be as objective as you.

Rose and Emmett are the outsiders, so they're just like, "What's going on?" haha. Oh, Alice is pretty damn happy, too--hitting it up in Vegas.

Poor Bella???? Sorry, but she seems like a major witch. LOLOLOL

Don't take offense, I love this story. I just don't like to see Bella's snooty attitude toward Edward. Jasper the friendly ship has sailed, hasn't he? Let go, Bella. Let go.

:)

=O 

...falls over. 

HOLY CRAP EDWARD?!!!!! 

WHY DO YOU CONSTANTLY FUCK THINGS UP!!!!!!!! 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 

I feel like I should through forks at Edward. What a schmuck!!! I hope Bella doesn't take him back at first. I hope she has a backbone and makes him earn it. 

Glad Alice and Bella had their talk.  Maybe their relationship can move forward again.  Alice seems to have changed to some degrees.

Love anxious Bella in this chapter -- finally admitting a pull to Edward.  

Great lines - "I wasn't sure how this was going to work, but just like him, I didn't think I could stop. I was the moth and Edward was the flame. Maybe Rose was right…maybe it was a connection we had that gravitated us to each other.  Though this was new to me, I knew I had to take it a step at a time, because I wasn't sure if it was right to have feelings for someone while wanting to try something new with someone else. But there was one thing that I was positive about…it was time to move on with my life, and the person whose arms were currently wrapped around me was the first step to accomplishing that."

Wonderfully written chapter.

i am absolutely in love with this story. <3  please update super soon :)

Alice is a piece of work, what did she think Edward would like when he find her at Jasper apartment when they were suppost to have dinner at her place?

Alice is agh.  I'm glad it happened to Jasper.  I hope he brews over it for a while.  I do get Edward's point.  She did forget everything when Jasper called, but come on Edward.  Hear her out.  She listened when he stood her up to find out what was really going on. 

He answered that he doesn't like Jasper, but not to why he thought it was interesting that he calls her Bellsy.  I guess I was right, Bella's more for the new Jasper, and Alice is what the original colleage Jasper would have liked (who is hidden in there some where).  I still feel it was real crappy to string Bella along like that.

What the heck just happened? Well, you could see it coming, but still. povs are always skewed, wonder who's right... deep rooted insecurities on Edward's part?

I think Rose hit the nail on the head about Jasper?  Keeping Bella at arm's length until it suits him.  Yuk.  Jasper may appear very charming but I think he is a bit deceiving.  Selfish to a degree.

Very awkward evening for Edward and Bella.  But Rose and Emmett hit it off as usual.  Good for them.

I am really liking your Edward.   You are peeling his personality like an artichoke.  Fluv it very much.  Really smooth development.

And no - I don't like it that Bella ditched Edward for Jasper!!!  Jasper is probably playing his game with her.   But I so want Bella to just say no and mean it with Jasper!!!! 

Enjoyed very much.

Interesting chapter -

No wonder Bella thinks she is still in love with Jasper.  He is all touchy feely with her.  And glancing and winking at her in the rear view mirror.  Something hidden on Jaspers side?  My favorite line "My Rabbit died." Very funny.

Can't wait to get into Jasper's feelings of Bella. 

Bella's interaction with Edward has some definite undercurrents. 

Rose come across very professional in this chapter.  Excellent.

Edward -- once again the air so much deeper than what the facade tells.  Wonder what secrets he has to tell.

Really enjoying -- Thanks for writing.
