Wow, I've got a huge lump in my throat now.  Even being young and stupid, I can't believe Edward could be so cruel (about the whole prom thing).  That is just so awful.  :(

Also, I have a random question.  Has Bella grown into her looks since high school, or is she exactly the same and now Edward sees her through different eyes?  I'm just trying to envision her in my head.

Great chapter!  I really hope he can make it all up to her...

Author's Response:

He sucked, big time. And, well, everyone tends to grow up and change a bit between high school and college, so she looks pretty much the same (which isn't BAD - she was never ugly or anything, just average-cute), but he's seeing her differently. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review! :)

I like it. I know I don't review often, but I really do like it. You write a story that I can't stop in the middle of chapters.

Author's Response:

Well, thank you very much! :) I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Well I don't know where you lost people in reviews but you haven't lost me. I freakin love this story. I  love your Bella and Edward. Although Edward hurt Bella in high school he was a high school boy, not that that gives him an excuse but you know they so stupid things. I will follow this to the end, like I said I freakin love this story.

Author's Response:

Exactly - he was a stupid 18-year-old boy. And we all know what they're like. **shudders** So glad you're still enjoying. I really appreciate your continued support! :)

I love this story.  I hope they move forward past the issues of the past.  they have both matured and I think they will get through it.  Hope to see more soon!   

Author's Response:

They'll work through it, for sure. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review!

Author's Response:

Aw, thank you so much! :) I'm really glad you've been enjoying the story.

That chapter was amazing I have actually got tears streaming down my face right now. Really touching and sweet. The prom flashbacks were incredibly moving and well written. Update soon please!

Author's Response:

Awwwww! **HUGS** Don't cry! I'm touched that I was able to make you cry, but it'll be okay, I promise! :) Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review - I really do appreciate it.

Thanks for finally explaining the prom scenario. Poor Bella! I can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like--and for everyone to know!

Author's Response:

Yeah, poor Bella. Big time. :(

My heart just broke for Bella at the prom!  I acutally shed a few tears for the pain she must have obviously been in!  I LOVED the way Jasper and Emmett stood up for her, eventhough Edward is their friend too!  Wow!  I loved that Edward finally realized how much he truly effected Bella, even when she is so quick to forgive him.

As for loosing people, I have NO absolutly NO idea where you could have lost people because I love this story and I am constantly checking to see when you update...oh and the dry humping in the last chapter was great! :)  I also liked that Bella fell asleep in this chapter so Edward didn't get to find out what she is so great at doing with her mouth...he needs to make a few more ammends before he gets to enjoy the spoils of Bella! :)

Author's Response:

Yeah, the prom kinda sucked for poor Bella. Good thing Edward's such a sweetheart now, or he'd have to be flayed alive, I think. ;-) And yeah, Eddie-boy's gonna have to make ammends a bit better before he finds out just what it is that Bella's mouth is so good at.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review! :)

Glad for the update!!  Edward was quite the coward in high school, but hopefully he'll continue to show just how much he has changed.  I can't wait to read how their relationship continues to progress :) 

 

P.S. You didn't lose me....I try to review every chapter :)

Author's Response:

Edward was a typical teenage boy in high school, unfortunately. It's one thing to be friends with someone your other friends wouldn't approve of. It's quite another to go on a date with them - regardless of whether it's a friends date or a Date date. Stoopid boys.

Glad you're enjoying, though! And thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. I really do appreciate it. :)

How unfair. I spent the entire evening reading, waiting for them to finally kiss. Now it's 2am (I made it till chapter 10), I have to get up in five hours and I'll spent the entire day tomorrow wondering about how this story will go on.

So: Awesome story, great style. I've loved reading it so far. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this!:)

Now off to bed ;)

Author's Response:

Aw, sorry! Not long to go before you get to lip action, though, I promise! :)

What a dork. You know, I dated a guy in high school that broke up with me just based on what his friends thought. He's totally lucky I took his ass back after he groveled...lol. Seriously though, it's a sucky feeling, because I knew why he was breaking up with me. he had one friend that liked me and told me what was going on. Ahhh, high school. So glad I'm past that stage. ;)

Don't teenage boys just suck? Ugh. >.<
