Hi, i just found this story and skipped work to finish reading what you have so far. This is fantastic! It feels like an actual novel that could stand on it's own instead of some stories you see here that are only continuations of the story we already know. The twist you put on this was fantastic, you make everything come to life in a great way and if you dont mind or if I havent missed your deadline I would really like to see Chapter Twenty-Seven from Edward's POV. Thanks for giving me a great story to read, I cant wait for more!

Author's Response: You haven't missed the deadline; you'll get the EPOV chapter on Friday.  Thanks so much for reviewing!

wow great emotion in this chapter! I really loved how you showed just how much Bella is truly hurting--it was gut-wrenching, just like it was in New Moon--bravo!  I was almost crying after each line I read...very deep...i hope this gets over with soon so then Bella and Edward can finally be together :)

I really loved the previous chapter, all the angst and tension was as well written as if Stephanie Meyer was over your shoulder, and I wondered where you were going from their. I loved the about face by Bella as she struggles to get past Edward even though she knows it won't happen. Great chapter and I can't wait to see where it leads. I'm new to this site and this is definately one of my favorite stories. Oh and could you please send me the Edward version of chp. 27. I would love to be able to read his pov. I'm not really sure how pm works though.

I should say firstly, since I am a new reviewer, that twilight fan fics are more than just a guilty pleasure, they are a complete secret in my life. So I never get accounts on these sorts of sites, which is why I've never reviewed.

That said I've been reading your story for months now and it is definitely the best twilight fan fiction I've ever found. Bravo! I think the plot twist is original and your handling of it is excellent. I might find it to be dragging lately but you're the author and I trust your judgement. It wouldn't bother me at all if I had found this after it was completed and didn't have to wait between chapters, so no worries. I'll have to say is keep up the good work and I always look forward to more from you.

Thanks-

Maisy.

Oh yes, and the reason I did finally get an account on this website was so I could ask if I could get a copy of the Edward chapter to read. That's how excited I was about it. 

I just stayed up til 3am catching up on this story.  I love it.  It's riveting.  These last few chapters have been so painful to read, but in a good way.  Sorry, I'm trying to be insightful, but it is 3am so I give up.  Anyway, I'd love the EPOV for chapter 27.

Okay, I have a pile of tests to correct for my college students (I'm an English teacher - god bless you and your correct use of semi-colons!!!), but I sat here and read  all 27 chapters of this story instead!! I have a few comments about Bella and Edward's blowout in the rain. This felt much more real to me than Stephanie's version (don't get me wrong; I love the books!) where B&E basically profess their love for each other and move on. I see part of Edward's character the way you wrote it...full of self-loathing and regret. The tone was dark and heartbreaking, but the darkness of Edward and the reality of what he truly is and has been through gets lost in everything I've read except here. It will make his love for Bella and his acceptance of their mutual love that much more powerful later on in your writing. A few of Bella's speeches during this scene slightly border on the melodramatic (let me know if you'd like to know which parts specifically - everyone has been posting compliments, of course, but I thought you might want a little constructive criticism though there is little to criticize in such great writing), but I was riveted throughout, even bringing my laptop with me to the garage to to smoke because I didn't want to stop reading!

Please send me Edward's POV for Chapter 27. I cannot give enough kudos to you for your fantastic writing, and I will be directing many people I know to your story!!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and believe me, I know it was a bit melodramatic, but I built up to that chapter for months, so I was like "What the hell?"  Sometimes I enjoy wallowing in the cheese and melodrama.  Seriously though, I'm flattered that you like it overall, esp. since you're a college-level English prof who probably sees A LOT of amateur writing, both the good and the bad (and possibly the very, very ugly).  

I would love to read Edwards version, although I am not really sure how a PM works.  I thought you portrayed Bella very well.  I could feel her pain.  And ewwww, I am so not a Mike, but I like Nickleback!

Okay, I REALLY liked this chapter... and please don't take this the wrong way but I liked this Bella survival and hurt chapter better than SMeyer's... maybe it is because I've felt this exact same way you described from my own personal experience.  It was eerie how similar it was...  I appreciate you writing so much too, it was such a long chapter!  When she went into the bathroom and cried, and gave Mike a hug... I cried... I don't do that with FF... really like ever, but your story is just soooo FANTASTIC.  Keep writing these beautiful chapters... and if it wouldn't be any trouble, I would LOVE, love, love to get Edwards POV from this chapter!  Thanks!

i love this chapter. it's very realistic, like i could picture it happening. in some fanfiction stories people write stuff that is so completely unrealistic for the characters it's sad. i've wrote a review before saying how i think that you should make edward suffer a little and not have bella just jump in his arms when he finally takes his head out of his a** and wants her back. PLEASE do not make it where bella just completely forgives edward and jumps in his arms. give bella a backbone please. that's like the only thing that i don't like in stephenie myers books, to me bella doesn't have a backbone you know what i mean? this might be too much to ask but please think about it. this story is really good, one of my favorites. love it! oh and i would like to have edward's pov for this chapter please

Ok, so she's not going to start dating Mike, but you have redeemed him in so many ways with this scene. Please send me Edward's version of this chapter. I'm dying to know what he hears in mike's head. Fantastic Chapter.

I absolutely love this story. Everything about this story is well written. I'd love to read Edward's POV of Chapter 27.

I know I've probably said this before, but your writing is phenomenal. I felt Bella's pain so much, and I even shed a few tears. Especially when she looks at her reflection when Angela offers lunch to her. EPIC.

 Thanyou so much for the update!  I can't wait to read more :)

    IMPORTANT: I WOULD BE OVERJOYED IF YOU SENT ME EDWARD'S VERSION OF CHAPTER 27. :)

(P.S- TWILIGHT COMES OUT TOMORROW!!! *faints*) 

All right, I'll bite. Please send me Edwards version... And as for a review, this is still my favorite continuing story and I really enjoyed this chapter. However (and this is a small however) when Bella went into the bathroom I was hoping for more of a breakthrough and was happy you were going to make her strong and confident again. (Like she was when she confronted Edward) Instead it felt all emo with her cutting herself and crying in the bathroom for 2 hours. Edward is great, but NO guy is worth that...

Author's Response:

She hadn't cried in 3 months.  Give the girl a break!  She's not going to start cutting herself everyday, listening to My Chemical Romance (which I actually enjoy, don't get me wrong), and slathering on the black eyeliner.  Seriously, though, don't worry, she's getting stronger, but she's not exactly the Terminator; she gets set backs.  ;)
