OMG it never gets easier hearing about how bad Bella looks. I was crying by then. God Bella's got to hold on so she can go back to Edward. *sobs* God this story is hard to read but its so damn addictive. You've created a drug and I can't give it up no matter how it hurts me.

I liked Alice talking to Bella about the place they moved to and then in her head she's commenting on it. And when Alice said the first assignment was Wuthering Heights and she bawled through the paper cause everything she knew was from Bella....my heart broke. I heard it shatter. The tiny pieces that I got from reading this story that I didn't think could break anymore have shattered again into even smaller pieces.

Author's Response:

Oh, sweet!  I don't mean to hurt you so badly, but I am so glad that you are connecting to the story on that level.  You know how much I heart you!

The teaser for Chapter 26, Charlie's arrival, is up on the thread.

Thank you so much for all of your support of both my story and my life.

so good! I like how you wrote that they talked to her. Instead of writing just what Edward and Alice felt or wanted to say to her, they actually said it. How Alice was catching her up and taking care of her....Very nice...great job!

Author's Response:

They needed to speak.  Needed to tell her what they felt and what they knew they had done.  I am glad you felt I did it justice.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

::sniffles::  That tore into my heart.  Great job.  You can really bring out some emotions.

A Cullen of my choice?  I would like to have Jasper, simply because I want to see what that fine little tail looks like naked....... he he he

Author's Response:

I am so glad you enjoyed the chapter and that you could connect with the emotions I was trying to get across.

As for the Cullen of choice, I'll be sending Jasper in only an apron your way shortly.  Thanks for reviewing!

You are right - this was a code scarlet!!  I need more tissues - please..

I always look forward to your updates - I'm like a kid on Christmas Day :-)

 

For the Cullen of my choice, I choose Edward.. Yummy!!

 

Goddamitt, I'm crying despite the fact this was the only time I wasn't sober while reading, but I'm still crying. You're a miracle worker!

Author's Response:

LOL!  Vodka helps!

I am sorry you cried, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!  Thanks for the review!

I cried through the whole thing!

It WAS nice to know Bella was conscious of Edward's & Alice's presence even if she wasn't really fully aware.

Author's Response:

It's so sad.  She wants to believe they are there, but she is frightened to so she convinces herself it's all a dream.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

That was really lovely.  Can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank goodness for tissues. So Sad, so Bittersweet.

"Edward was sitting next to her, his forehead pressed to hers, his hand wrapped around hers, his breathing in time with hers." --I love this beautifully written imagery!

Whoa.  Definite prickly eyes here.  Go Alice.  Nice job trying to be strong and normal.  Bella  needed that.  Sigh.

 

I'll wait very patiently for my cookies now.  I'd prefer snickerdoodles, if they have that recipe.

Author's Response:

They all need  strength and courage right now.

as for snickerdoodles, I am sure we can teach them.  They are very eager boys!

"Edward, no one deserves forgiveness.  We’re all granted it.  All of us." ~ This was Beautiful.... and true....

 

This chapter was gut wrenching... what am I saying, all these chapters have been gut wrenching, but it's beautiful and I can't wait for you to make it all better...please make it all better...

Author's Response:

I promise I will.  Just not for a while, alas.

I'm so grateful that you are enjoying the story and reviewing!

Oh my god. You just get better and better. I know you get hundreds of reviews per chapter, and you replied to all of mine. That makes me feel so great like you actually care about what I am saying. While reading this story I have seen your writing change. I thought you were amazing to begin with, well look at you now. Every chapter is simply mind blowing. I look forward to getting you chapters all the time, and when i see that you updated in my email sometimes I squeal in joy. You are a truly amazing writer and you really inspire me to work harder and improve my own writing. Thank you so much.

Author's Response:

Ok, now I'm in complete tears over this review.  I'm gobsmacked.  Thank you.  Really.  Thank you.

I work really hard to write this story in such a way that you can feel every chapter.  I'm so glad that you feel I'm succeding conveying my story.

Again, so many thanks for the review and your amazingly kind words.

~Sniff~ Aww. so she is starting to come out of it just very slowly? I loved the chapter! I can't wait for the next one.

 

~sneaks off an Edward and the vanila icing~

 

hehehehe

Author's Response: Sigh... There is another wrinkle... Might want to keep Edward around for comfort! Thanks for the review!
