Oh Edward what the hell have you done!!!

poor poor edward. he's doing this for her own good. he's not feeling confident and he's feeling lonely and depressed and a small part of him thinks taht she's better off without him, so he's letting her go. similar to the canon edward. poor edward. he loves her so much! i hope she understands that and won't feel too angry at him. i want her to fight for him, for them, but i think this is something that he needs to figure out himself. i'm really worried about him. really truly really. i hope he won't go back to his self destructive ways. he's worked soo hard, please don't let him relapse. please please please!

Gah! Well-written, intense and very fine chapter.

Thank you for sharing.

Hmmm. He is so paranoid and insecure that he isn't thinking straight. I hope Bella can see through his issues. I think Jasper already knows something is up. I see a hard road ahead for both of them.

I feel bad for Edward, he obviously doesnt feel like he is worthy of Bella.  I wished he would just tell her instead of breking up with her :(

I feel sick after reading this chapter! Edward, you idiot, why are you ruining everything? I am so sad for both of them. You write beautifully, can't wait for the next chapter.

Lots of FF has done the "Charlie and Bella talk" where Charlie voices his dislike of Edward.  But this one is, by far, the best.  Because it's not Charlie being overbearing and overreacting.  It's about him being a parent.  I hated what he said, but, as a parent myself, I can see where he is coming from.  He doesn't want this for Bella.  He hates the decision she has made.  But at the same time he knows he can't change her mind -- so he does the next best thing and gives her the number of his police buddy.  I really hope we eventually get to see Charlie and Edward meet.  I think you would write that so well! 

Oh, you better update soon.  This is just too many kinds of fucked up.  It would be different if he had a revelation that he needed to heal himself, and couldn't do it if he kept using her as a crutch.  But no, this is just self-pity and, and just wrong!  This is self-destruction, and it ain't mutual.  Get his head out of his ass, and pronto!

had a feeling that was coming. they sure rushed their relationship.

Ugh, angst ending.  But necessary I think. I hope he doesn't fall off.

Thanks for the update.

Maybe its wrong to say I love this chapter since it is so dark and sad a situation. Once again it feels so real and raw...I can completely see your Edward sabotage this situation, especially when Bella is on this pedestal both to him and to us as readers. I still cant believe completely that Bella can still act so mature and calm continuously (and in this situation) but its a nice yin and yang relationship. Your Ed breaks my heart (in a good way). This is really starting to shape up to be one of my favorites. LOVE ANGST!

My heart is broken. But you're writing is still amazing. *tear*
