Summary:

 

Edward left Bella four years ago; two years ago, he dealt with Victoria and has been moping around ever since. He is a mere shadow of his former self, and the Cullens are at a loss for how to fix him, since he won’t go back to Bella. Bella’s life is a paradox; she both fell apart and flourished after Edward left her. She is estranged from Charlie and Jacob, is lead singer of an all-girl rock band called Hamartia (literary term meaning fatal flaw), and is living in Brooklyn, NY. She is now all about sex, drugs, alcohol, and Rock n’ Roll.  Along with her new lifestyle came a new outlook and personality; she has a quick temper and sharp tongue and finally puts herself first. Long gone is the selfless, long-suffering Bella that Edward left behind. What happens when Alice has had enough and brings all the Cullen “Kids” to one of Bella shows? Will the “old Bella” ever come back? Will she and Edward reunite? Can he accept who she is now and what she has done? Does she want to be changed, if everything works out? Will he be willing to do it? Read and find out.

Summary:

Welcome to the Academy! Bella Swan, former American Ballet Academy Prima Ballarina and Ballroom dancer, finds herself employed with her friend Alice Cullen at Alice's families dance academy. As a Seattle institution the Volterra Academy of Dance received national acclaim when the dance prodigy signed on, but is that the only purpose when the Cullens hired Ms. Swan or did they have hopes that she could teach more than just the students something? Edward hasn't placed competitively since his partner left him high and dry three years ago. That was when he came to teach ballroom at his family's school. He's convinced he's happy, spreading the love for dance through the younger generation, but that all changed when he spied a brown haired stranger. He saw the way she moved at the club and now he can't get her out of his head. He tells himself that it's best that he doesn't know who she is. He doesn't want another woman in his life to complicate things. It would be best just to forget her, so why can't he. What will happen when he finds out that the girl he can't forget is the new ballet instructor at the Academy? More importantly can they ignore the chemistry that they have from the beginning? Will Bella shake Edward out of his shell and will he find the strength to get out and dance again? Can she teach him to leave it all on the floor? Find out

Fantastic banner by enchanted-mind

 

In her junior year of high school, Bella Swan was days away from moving to Forks, WA.  Fate intervened, and she never made the move.  Now entering her second year at Emerson College in Boston, Bella is passionate, smart . . . and desperately lonely.

Meanwhile, Edward Cullen is empty after years of slogging through the charade of life.  In Alaska following his latest round of high school hell, he spends most of his time avoiding his family and their pitying thoughts.  Seeking a change of pace, he enrolls at MIT and makes his way to the east coast the summer before school begins.  When he catches the scent of his singer on the air, he follows it—and her—to his destiny.

 

This story is nearly finished, and I plan on updating weekly.

Summary:

She had the perfect life. Perfect Job. Perfect house. Perfect husband and a baby on the way. She had it all. That is, until one singular moment took it all away...

A story about a love lost and the rocky journey to a new one through trying twists and turns of depression and the lows that go along with it. The path to love was never easy. 

[This is a Bella story. Eventual B/E. Rated M for dark themes and swearing. OOC. If you're not a fan of dark themes, including depression, thoughts of suicide, anything often accompanies depression, graphic descriptions, etc., then this story is not for you. There will be very, very little fluff. Move on if that is your thing.]
