Oh god, poor Carlisle thinking he failed Edward. So heartbreaking... And poor Bella. I can't even imagine what she is thinking after Edward fled.

My heart just broke!

This chapter was so good!

:(

I wish I knew what to say about this chapter.  I really feel for both Edward and Bella, and could see where/why Carlisle feels he's failed Edward...makes me sad for all of them.  looking forward to the next chapter!

Keep going i mean this story is one of the few that acctually seems fairly realistic, its like my own personal brand of heroin :D So keep going pleaseeeeeeee

oh so sad i was gettin the illusion it would get better :(

Please let this be a moment where he and Carlisle can finally connect.I would love to see him move forward with his family and not just Bella.

Heartbreaking yet again.

Hmm, yeah, it's about time that Edward takes that therapy thing seriously. I hope his eyes will open up with these kinds of experiences. Or let's say this is hopefully the only one like that necessary to come to that point. Bella perhaps can't take much more, because she just lost her mom herself.

Poor Edward... Thinking he doesn't deserve love. *sniff*

And nothing noted about Edward and if he's getting physical reactions toward Bella? I threw in the forum that perhaps Edward doesn't have morning problems, since he's so repulsed by everything (his mind is perhaps trained to overcome his body's urges, or whatever), so I was wondering if perhaps now that he's happier and has a girl, those things are surfacing...

See ya on the forum!

Spikey

edward...come on, you shouldn't hurt youself and bellla...i know you're confused and all's a mess in your head, but bella knows her mind and you absolutely deserve someone who loves you...and everything you're feeling just shows that you love her. you want to touch her, you talk with her and you want to take care of her - and alll this comes naturallly - obviously a sign, don't you see?

poor carlisle - he surely didn't expect that did he???!!!

I'm so liking your story. Edward has a long way to go, but he's making progress.

Thanks for the frequent updates!

I just recently found your story and I have to tell you how amazing it is.  It's so beautifully written, especially when dealing with the things that have happened to Edward.  I sometimes find reading stories dealing with these themes difficult to read, but you've handled it with such grace and care that the when I read the story I'm not shocked by the details of Edward's story but focus more on the emotional reactions he's having and how it affects him. 

I'm really looking forward to see where you go with this story.  Thank you for sharing it with us!

another superb chapter,  god i cant begin to imagine how bella feels right now, she must be so distraught,  poor edward the james influence goes on and on his total disbelief in the fact that anybody could ever love him, really care for him, and this carlisle is taking the blame for, even though edward ran from bella he did not from carlisle he stayed and talked ignoring his anger to a degree another truly positive step,  carlisle  must feel that he never  shown him enough love,  more please thanks tracy

Just so you know, I've read FF for about a year now and NEVER reviewed before. This is how GREAT this story is! It actually made me press the button. So pretty please, keep it up! I need MORE!

Author's Response: Wow, that's a huge compliment. Thank you very much! More coming asap. And I'll be posting a teaser at the forum tomorrow. :)
