Oh boy, here we go!  Bella had better grow a pair and tell Edward all about Jacob.  Including the part that she's no longer in love with him....I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

omg! what is gonna happen next.I love your story by the way =)

Thank you for the long chapter, it was great. There are lots of things to say about it. It's amazing to see Alice not wanting to go shopping on Black Friday, she has a point though, stores are crazy that day. She is such a well organized woman she really doesn't need to go, still is is a surprise.

I know the children issue is hard for Alice, but I think she should trust Bella and tell her how things are for her. She needs support, and I think Bella would be incredible just being by her side in all of this.

The club was interesting, Edward's playing is really magic for Bella, what a way to turn her on. Even is it was okay with Edward that she left, I think she may have tried to stay and face everyone. The teasing won't stop apparently and she is just delaying it I think.

As you said in your note Bella really trjies to avoid uncomfortable things, which has brought her good and bad in her life. Good as in moving to Chicago and meeting Edward, bad the pain she went through taking this desicion and all the heart break Jacob caused her when she just moved. She needed to Edward about Jacob, she was not very convinced of doing it. Unpacking the boxes was a way of her subconscious of pushing her into where they are right now. Of course Edward is curious and angry about the picture, Bella hasn't shared with him and he has opened up entirely. I really hope Bella explains things well so their perfect week-end remains exactly that, perfect.

I know this was a long chapter, but truthfully, after that cliffie, I could have kept reading!  I can't wait to find out how Bella comes clean about Jake and what Edwards reaction will be.  I have faith in both of them, though.  I'm more concerned about Jake's reaction when Bella brings Edward home for Christmas!

I am not sure if this is the first review I have left for your story. I am pretty sure it is though. I wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job. I love your use of the language. When you were discribing the club, I thought your adjectives were the additional characters. They add so much.
"The club oozed class and sophistication like the mother of a deb at her first ball. The room served as a supporting player to the entertainment that the night's performers would bring. The main event was the musicians, but they would shine like unpolished silver if it weren't for the window dressing that the club provided." Beautiful words! I really enjoy it when authors take the time to set the stage with words and emotions rather then just quotes. I hope I am making sense. I must say I am a bit frustrated at Bella. Here is Edward facing his fears like a man (granted he ran away for 2 years, but he is fighting now) and Bella is still hiding. If she doesn't own up to her former feelings about Jake, I will be frustrated. I also assume Edward is going to be pissed. Many times Bella acts like a child. I know in a way she still is at 22/23. But going through life experiances is how you learn. She needs to learn. Otherwise how is she going to handle Jake when he shows up at Christmas? She should talk with Edward and then when their weekend is over, call Jake and talk to him. I know he (Jake) has no idea how she felt, but it beats the weirdness of him showing up at her doorstep with Edward there at Christmas. Just some thoughts I had to get out of my head. Can't wait for more!

Thank you for the long and thought-out review! The next chapter touches upon a lot of the pieces you've mentioned above.

Well it's about time. I won't be mad if he gets a little angry with her. As Alice said, he had to tell his story, she should tell her's. At least he'll know by the time Christmas rolls around. I hope she's sure that she doesn't love Jacob anymore...if not and she has any doubt Edward will pick up on it and not be happy.

This chapter was hot though, other than that whole thing. Poor Bella and Edward's crazy family. Crazy crazy people. I wish my boyfriend played piano in a band...Keep Going!!

Ruh roh...Bella's got some 'splainin' to do.....hopefully Edward doesn't get too mad over this.  I loved this long chapter, loved the backstage adventure, lol.....can't wait for more!

Please please please don't let either one of them freak out. . .pretty please with Edward on top?

Yay! Everyone wants a sane and happy Blue25 so here I am.... reviewing...... just like you asked! I LOVED this chapter. I love every chapter but this one was really good! I can't wait to read the next chapter so POST MORE SOON!

This story just keeps getting better!  I just was reading Frenemies and was wondering if you coordinated Renee's last name...?  Either way,it's nifty :D  Keep updating!

Author's Response:

Mad Skittle lurv to Frenemies. Can't speak for McVampy, but I check all the character names at Twilight Lexicon and that's the maiden name they have for Renee.

Yeah, Bella should have told him.  No time like the present!  She shouldn't feel bad, it's not like Edward's never been with anyone before.  Past loves are just that, past.  Of course, I'm really looking forward to Edward and Jacob meeting!
