I just discovered this story, and plowed through it in about 45 minutes.  I adore it, please post again soon!

Ok, I think I know exactly who did it now.

I hope Edward can talk Bella into talking to Esme and also into pressing charges against the perp. Though since it's been a few dyas there's going to be hardly no evidence, with the exception of the scratches and bruises, which are paritally healed, so even if it does go to court, it's going to be a he said/she said, and the defense lawyer is going to make it seem like a next day regret and that she liked it rough.

That being said, I'm saying the perp is going to be James. He's scumbag enough to do exactly that. Particularlly with what we know of his personality from canon. Because I distinctly recall S. Meyer writing that he acted friendly when he commented on using her mom's video camera and goign into her house in Phoenix.

Thank you so much for the review.  I'm not really giving out spoilers, (think what you wish)  but the percentage of date rapes cases that are actually brought to any DA or to a school disiplinary hearing is less than 10% within the college standard age group.  After saying that, you should know I am a firm believer in Karma.  The mystery is how that Karma is played out.

Your Esme is amazing. I would like Auntie Esme to go please! This is an incredibly important topic, and the way you handled it, coupled with Edward's reaction, was perfect and realistic. I think a lot of women who haven't experienced or don't know someone who has experienced sexual assault think along the same lines. "It would never happen, I'm responsible, I would never let someone do that." But it happens, and it sucks, and most people don't ever report it. I hope your next update follows quickly, thanks for sharing this story with us!

OK -- that was absolutely phenomenal.  I truly feel like I learned something in this chapter.  I hope I never need to use this knowledge, but unfortunately I probably will . . .  Thank you so much for putting a much needed focus on obtaining PROFESSIONAL help for such serious issues. 

Please update again soon!!  Awesome.

 

I wonder when Edward will find out the truth.  And the she?  Could it be Esme?  He has already refused to talk to Alice about this.  Esme could probably understand, and Bella could use a mom right about now. 

Bella is trying to deal with this on her own, and she does need help.  This is very difficult, and not something that should be borne alone.

awww how sweet! i like where you have taken this...its not too cliche but you still have that classic air to it...i love it! update soon!

 

I'm enjoying this story and I've added it to my favourites. I've got a few too many stories on the go and I can't remember what happened in the last chapter - I need to go back and re read oops.

Like Edward being a nice guy though - I've read a few too many Playerward stories recently so this is refreshing.

Looking forward to an update

Ugh, it seems like we're getting sooo close to Edward finding out what happened.  I love this story - keep updating!

Love it! I'm curious to see who Edward called. His mother? Maybe, I'm not so sure. UD soon please.

OH! im soooo interested! please update some more! i cant wait for the love scene. its gonna have me jumping out of my chair and practically raping my boyfriend! please update soon!

Have to state, that although I love that you love my story, it is a date rape scenario.  I highly doubt Edward and Bella will be having sex anytime soon.

But thank you for reading and reviewing

Loving this fic! I can't wait to see where you take it.

I'm waiting for Bella to let Edward help her!
