I love to read. I read everyday, because I love to escape to a different world. That purpose also applies to listening to music and writing. I love to go into different worlds and lose myself for a while.
I am an 21 year old student and I love the Twilight books as well as the movies. I also love many other books, such as the classics.
I hope that you enjoy my stories, as I enjoy writing them.
**For those who read my story Prophecy, please know that it has not been abandoned. My previous beta, Elizabeth, had to step down and I've been looking for a replacement. I promise that once the chapters are beta'ed, I will update! I will not abandon this story!

Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16
Great chapter!
I know that things aren't going well for Charlie, but I'm glad that the guys help keep his spirit up. I hope that he'll be able to go on his fishing trip, though.
I'm happy that Edward admitted his feelings. At least now Bella won't be confused on what he's feeling or something. =)
Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: He's definitely going, I promise. And, yeah, E and B are going to have some QT together. Bella is still confused because Edward tends to be cryptic but he has his reasons.
Thanks, as always, for reading reviewing and rating my story.

Everything about it was excellent! From the dinner with Edward's parents to the ILY confession, it was just a wonderful chapter!

Great chapter!
It was excellent! I loved everything about it!
I have a feeling that Edward might get the wrong idea about Bella's 'date' with Emmett. I hope that's not the case, though. I want them together!
Looking forward to your next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing so faithfully. It touches me that you "loved" it and I am just feeling humbled at this point.
Also all my gratitude for your high rating of my story!

I loved everything about this chapter!
It was nice to see Bella and Edward relax and have a good night together. =)
Looking forward to your next chapter!
btw, the meal Bella made for Edward sounded really tasty! Is there a recipe for it? Author's Response: The recipe for the salad can be found here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/tuscan-salad-recipe/index.html (I substituted lime for lemon juice)
The chicken isn't a recipe, but I make it often and it's pretty much as described in the story. Generally I slit the breasts, pound them thin, wrap up the cheese and green chilies in the ham and stuff it in the chicken. Coat with panko crumbs seasoned with salt, pepper and anything else you might like and brush with butter. Cook at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
Marshmallow is also very easy to make (though very very bad) and it leads to sticky good times! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/hot-cocoa-and-homemade-marshmallows-recipe/index.html
I'm so thrilled you loved the chapter and thank you for your review and the stars!

Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18
This chapter was very upsetting, but I can sort of see things from both sides. (At least I'm hoping I understand it correctly.)
Bella is used to having people taking the first step and she doesn't want that to happen anymore. She took the first step in asking Edward what was happening between them. Since Edward told her that she had to find herself first before they could start a relationship, she was angry since she put herself out there. To me, it sounds like she wants to live in the 'now' instead of waiting.
Now Edward knows that Bella takes care of her father all of the time and knows that she really isn't being true to herself, so before they begin their relationship, he wants that for her. (I hope I got these right. xD)
I can't wait to see what happens next! I know that Edward will explain more of his reasoning again because I have a feeling he doesn't want to lose Bella. Hopefully she'll listen. Author's Response: You are pretty right on in your assessment, yes! I know it was upsetting (it was upsetting to write) but I think in the end it's going to make things between them a whole lot better.
Since you faithfully read and review, how about a little tid bit for the next chapter? Bella's going to do some soul searching...and come to some realizations about her life.
Thanks again bb!

This was a great chapter!
Their date was just wonderful! A perfect first date.
I'm glad that Edward didn't let her back out of her decision to move. Besides, Edward is right. It's just a three hour drive and I know it will more than that to stop him! =)
Looking forward to your next update! Author's Response: That's right! Bella needs to follow through or she may end up living with regrets and resenting Edward. We can't have that now, could we? I'm so happy you enjoyed their first date. Thank you so very much for reading and reviewing. xoxo

Great chapter!
I'm glad that Bella is getting out and is going to call Edward. I can't wait to see him interact with Bella!
Hopefully this will help Bella and not make things worse. It would hurt Charlie and everyone else in her life if something happens to her.
Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: Thank you so, so much for reading and reviewing. This story means so much to me and the fact that there are readers enjoying it puts the cherry on top without a doubt!

This entire chapter was excellent! I especially loved that talk between Edward and Bella. I think it brought them closer. =)
Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: Thank you so, so much!
I was waiting and waiting to write this part in order to give everyone a glimpse of why Edward is who he is in my story. I'm so happy that it seems to have translated in the way I wanted it to.
Thanks for reading, reviewing & the sparkly stars.

I'm glad that Bella stuck by her plan of doing things herself. =)
Looking forward to your next update!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. It's definitely not easy for Bella to stand on her own two feet when Edward is readily making himself available, but she's smart enough to know that's exactly what she must do. Thank you for reading, reviewing and those stars, you humble me!

Great chapter!
The 'friends' comment made me a little sad, but I think that it just said due to the the fact the Edward is helping Charlie.
I can't wait to see what happens next! Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: Don't be sad! And you are on the right track; the Charlie addition adds a level that makes this situation more dicy. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to read, review and rate my story.
Much love!

Great chapter!
I feel for Bella. I can't imagine how it feels to be in her place. =(
Things with Edward are not going as smoothly as I thought they would. Oh, well. I know that Edward is trying to remain professional.
Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: Thanks so very much for your read, review and the stars.
I will tell you this, Edward is surely struggling with what he's feeling vs. the right thing to do in the current time. If the two of them would just be open with one another, they probably would realize that the attraction is there and very, very real. But, these things take time and right now, Charlie is priority #1, for both of them.
Thanks for everything.
xoxo

I feel for Bella. It's good that she has Edward to talk to and help her, though.
I hope that nothing happens on this 'date'. Like Edward seeing them for example.
Looking forward to your next chapter! Author's Response: Yep, she doesn't have many people but she does have very GOOD people in her corner. Edward will not see them on there date. That's an answer to your question for being such a faithful and giving reader and reviewer!

I'm looking forward to seeing Edward and Bella hang out. I can't wait to see how they act around each other when he's not working.

Although I'm hoping that Bella and Edward will talk. But reading your mini preview, I see that it will happen! Thank you!
I'm glad that Bella is finding her path. Even though she is taking care of her father, she can still follow her dreams.

I'm glad that Bella and Edward are ok again, but it's bad that Bella had to have a killer migraine for them to talk. (I know how she felt.) But, at least they talked.
Looking forward to your next update!
Author's Response: Yeah, migraines are the worst. Really and truly. I think his coming to her aid shows two things:
One - he didn't know how to go about repairing things
and
Two - deep down he never, ever stopped caring for her
The headache was certainly an instigator to them making up, but it was bound to happen either way.
Thanks for R & R!

This was a great chapter!
I can't believe the nerve her mother had. I couldn't believe that she walked in, without notice, and said those awful things about her own daughter. But, I am glad that Charlie told her off, even though it caused him to have a heart attack. I loved Charlie's soothing words to Bella. A very sweet moment.
Looking forward to your next update! Author's Response: Thanks so much girlie!
Renee is repulsive, end of story. I will address a bit more about that at the beginning of the next chapter.
I appreciate you coming back, time and time again, reading, reviewing and rating my story. xoxoxo

I'm glad that Edward admitted his feelings after their fight. That was a step in the right direction.
I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Edward is certainly proceeding with caution, he didn't want to hurt Bella and it hurt him that he did. I'm so thankful for your readership, reviews and always the stellar rating. It means so much!
