Thanks so much for reviewing!

Author's Response:

Thank you:)

Ugh, you make me feel like crying. That is a good thing, as it means I am thoroughly relating to the charactes. Just...ugh. I can't even imagine.  she is sooooo broken. I hate to say this, but poor Edward when he finds out how badly he scarred and broke her all those years ago.

Author's Response:

They are both going to be devastated when they realize what the other has become...

Thanks so much for all of your support!

"Treating me like a scared animal...That’s essentially what you’ve become…" so sad, but so true.

 "He took a step toward me and god, as much as my body wanted to run to "him, how my soul wanted to go back home to him, I knew there wasn’t a home to go to anymore."... Could it be any more heartwrenching?

"Please, Edward, why?  Why are you doing this?  I know what you think.  I know what you feel.  God, you probably have a girlfriend or a wife at home, and you’re just waiting to break me all over again when you introduce me as your whore of a friend from high school"..He still has absolutely no idea how badly he broke her heart...

"His eyes.  So full of love.  Of regret.  Of want...I had to blink at the force of it."...If she can see this, maybe there is hope?

Author's Response:

There is *always* hope, even in despair this dark...

Thank you for reviewing!

The story is great but I can't help but thinking that it may be overkill to do each scene from both points of view. It feels slightly repetative. I think it is good to see both sides of it, but I think it can condensed instead of having the entire scene word for word again.

Author's Response:

We are definitely not doing each scene from both points of view, only the pivotal ones to their relationship.  They day they met, the prom, the day they came back together... the rest is different events from just one POV.  We hope you'll understand why we are doing these particular events from both POV's as we go.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

This is so heartbreaking....she truly believes that hes thinks those things of her...so much that she thinks that the dress is to reveailing??? That's so sad...i feel so bad for her....can they see just how bad he hurt her????  Can he see it???  You guys do a great job of conveying just how broken she really is.  I can feel in in my chest as i'm reading it.  I hurt and ache with her.  This is so well written, i can't tell you how i've enjoyed this! (even though i feel like my heart has been ripped out!!)LOL!  I can't wait to see the process of putting her back together again.  I must ask was Esme about to suggest that Bella stay with Edward during all this??? How could she even think that that would even be a possibility??....but i must ask will that eventually happen before the wedding as things get more crowded??? that would be great!!!  update soon!!! Love ya bb's!!

Author's Response:

They are both really broken, but I don't think anyone understands the depth of it yet.  We shall see...

Thanks so much for reviewing!

cant wait for the next round!  great job girls

Author's Response:

Thank you for all of the support, darlin!

This is simply wonderful. So beautifully written. It captures the intensity of Bella's rollercoaster of emotions. Her inner debate, chastisement, longing, lust are all incredibly heartbreaking and yet lovely to get a glimpse of.

I love how her insecurities eek out without anyone truly grasping the gravity of how scarred she is. Not even Alice seems to understand the depth of damage. My heart sunk when Bella commented on her dress perhaps being too revealing and Rose/Alice finding the notion ridiculous. It was such a telling statement and yet it was dismissed. LOL - It was wonderfully written.

I'm fascinated by the complexity of Bella and Edward and the hurdles they must overcome. The concept of them having switched roles over the years, Edward the extrovert and Bella the introvert, as a coping mechanism is intriguing. My mind reels with the possibilites ahead for both separately and together.

This is truly such a fun and captivating story.  Thanks for writing it. I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response:

Such an amazing review!  Thank you!  Yes, they have so far to go.  I think Alice has a pretty good idea of how broken Bella is, as she did warn Rose off a bit but I don't think anyone understands the true depth and breadth.  Again, many thanks for reviewing!

Oh my heart aches for Bella...no one needs to live alone without interaction of friends and family.  She will never be able to get through this if she doesn't open up to someone.  I hope that she will try to stay with Charlie, she is going to need a break from the emotional side of things, especially since she is not use to interacting with anyone.  This is going to be a very hard month for her.  Loved the interaction with Esme and Bella...she needs more time with her...it could be a really good thing.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response:

Bella is in such a bad place, but she's going to have to take the first step to heal.  She'll have to be open, at least a little bit.

 

Thanks so much for reviewing!

aaaaaaaaaaah, so much pain. Poor Bella. :(

I loved this chapter ;D

Author's Response:

Bella is pretty broken...

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Gosh y'all are good. I seriously almost cried when she took his hand...and I already knew that was going to happen! He's got some serious wrongs to right if he wants to set her straight.

Author's Response:

He does have some work to do...

Thanks so much for reviewing!
