So in a way, this was party an inside job, a job that had Edward partially as a target. Poor Edward, at least this time he not only has his family by his side, he has Charlie too.

Unfortunately Bella feels she is in the other side of those feelings, at least Charlie has been there with Edward all along so when they go to talk to her she will have to at least hear them out and someone who she is sure is looking out for her. I understand she feels Edward doesn't want anything to do with her, but he doesn't act as expected, that should be a clue.

About Alice, both her and Jasper are in a very difficult situation. One that yes, has to be resolved by them, but that doesn't mean Bella shouldn't express her thoughts and concerns to her friend, an outsider's point of view, especially from someone as close and caring as Bella should matter and Alice needs to see things from another perspective, so does Jasper.

What will the new day bring? When will they all finally see each other? and be able to give and get some good news, they deserve them.

It was a great finish to a great story. Both Edward and Bella may still have some doubts and things to work on, but we all do, and working on them together will make it easier and better.

Bella is taking a big step in her trust issues accepting Edward's proposal, but it's the greatest thing she can do to prove to him how much she is willing to do for him. Edward's actions and decisions taken on Thursday night showed Bella just what Edward is willing to do for her.

Alice of course now has a new "proyect" to help her with all she has to deal with now. Even if the participats will not give her full reign of things, I'm sure they will come to an arrangement for the wedding and all the parties Alice is planning.

About Bella's work, something will be done I'm sure. The board has to be a little more open to hear both sides of the story and think a little more before taking such meassures, hopefully.

Charlie, well he got to spend time with Edward and see how much he cares for his daughter. That is what any loving father needs, to see that his little girl will be well taken care of.

Can't wait for the epilogue, I want to know how things turned out in Cullen Academy, not only for Bella but for the school.

Can Edward read Bella so well, easily and fast? Wow he gave her a big assignment on her first day, he "knows" she wouldn't like him paying for her lunch, and then explains it to her when she was acting like she was not happy about what he said. And of course we can't forget he "prefers brunettes".

This story is getting my attention in part because all this is so different. I'm really looking forward to this story.

Awful story plot EXCELENT story telling and a tale worth of continuing. Great work really.

Some how a different aproach and I like it. They are in high school, at least Jasper, Alice and Edward, and they do interact with humans.

They way Bella was found is really sad, collared and with dog dishes. Why is she unresponsive? is she acting? or has something happened to her?

Poor Bella, what has she been through? She doesn't remember or know much, she has been blocking it for a long time. I have lots of questions but her mind is probably so closed up that asking them now won't make the story answer them. The author maybe, so here go some, does she know her parents are dead? Can she remember her life before all this? Will she be able to speak? Who would she react to better? How willing will she be to eat or drink? will she try to escape?

All of them are really concerned and care for her more than they ever imagined they could.

Comfort food, they could start with tea or a milkshake, maybe even ice-cream, that is the most comforting food I can thing of :).

The damage to Bella is amazing, the psychological worse than the physical. It was sad and shocking to see her fear of women to be bigger than the fear of men. Who turned her into what she is now? Will we ever find out who did it?

Lets hope that Alice's idea of a bed on the floor will make Bella feel a little more at ease. Edward will stay with her, that will help but as Jasper said he needs to accept what he is feeling, if he does, the peace will help Bella.

Okay Bella now has a big support team to get some sense into her head about not going back even for her toothbrush to James' place. Now they only need to convince her or tie her up to something :)

Everything is going great, except that big green and brown elephant flying around (Edward having to go overseas with the army) That will hurt Bella and will make Alice want to use her gun and shovel. How are the boys going to handle the news to the girls? Neither Alice or Rosalie will be happy with it either.

Well, besides from that, it was a great chapter, really liked how well all of them are getting along and how happy Alice and Rose were when they saw Bella.

Edward is really a gentelman, he wants to take care of her, at the least. Unfortunatelly they have time and other things against them. Lets just hope they find them much later. She needs to feel loved and cared for, the only problem as Bella mentioned is going back to reality.

What will happen when Edward's brothers wake up and find them there together?

Bella is in such a complicated place inside her head. She needs to find a way out that doesn't involve anyone she cares for. She needs to realize she deserves better, that she is better. Unfortunately that will be even harder than leaving James. If Edward wanting a perfect gift for his mother made Bella feel so insecure, things don't look easy. Then he has to tell her he is leaving, that will be a big blow. And if she doesn't share her thoughts and feelings with someone, really poor Bella.

Lets hope she finds some peace of mind and some rest soon. And when ever she has to go back to her place that James won't be there.

Definetely it was Edward's birthday but it could have been Carlisle's as well. HE got plenty... of nice time, fun, pleasure, seeing his kids so happy and at ease around Bella. He was also able to speak to her about Esme and it wasn't uncomfortable for either of them. And to top things he is getting his wish, having Bella in his bed all night. I don't think the boys would mind much if they found them. They love Bella and she cares for them so much. I really hope the summer can go on longer.

I never thought I would like a story with Bella and Carlisle together but this one is great.

This chapter brought tears to my eyes. WOW!!!! He deserved to suffer and in a way the rest of the Cullens too for listening to him all this time. So Alice has been looking out for her, and sharing bits and pieces with the rest of the family. They all miss her terrible and it was obvious they would. She became a part of the family so easily and fast. A piece of the puzzle was lost when they left without saying good-bye.

Now it seems Bella's anger is getting her close to danger, which in Bella's case isn't so odd. But this time it has Alice concerned enough to share it with the rest of them.

Rosalie is the one I would have never thougth would put Edward's music out, hidden in plain sight for Bella to come across from it. Of course in that case, it had to be through Alice's sub. Rosalie didn't hate Bella, she never did, she was just jealous, envy of what she would never be able to have. Now, we know that, but if we didn't, after taking sometime to think about it, we might come to that conclusion.

I'm glad Rosalie came around and wants Bella back, if there is anyone who might be able to get close to Bella and talk to her it would be Rosalie. She is the one Bella would know would be truly honest.

Almost four years... is it enough for her to really let go? Unless she takes the leap and jumps, she won't know. Her mind in its own way had searched and somehow found humans to step into the shadows of her dream family. All but one. One that can never be replaced, or equaled, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't try to find something, someone to fill the void in her existance.

Are they watching? Do they know what Edward told her that day? Why, if they miss her haven't they done anything? Does it matter? It did; apparently she is trying to change that.
