Waaaahhhhhh!!!!!

Author's Response: I know, right! Thanks for reviewing!

I can only guess that what comes afterwards is her making him suffer for a bit...can't blame her for that :)  But yes, I will keep thinking that you believe in happy endings.

Author's Response: Oh that will happen eventually. There is much to come in the interim. Thank you for reviewing!

Poor Edward.  But I like that her stats improve when hearing him.  Great chapter. 

HEA will happen, HEA will happen!!

Manda

Author's Response: Hang on to the HEA! There is a lot to fix before then, though. Thanks for your review!

Great chapter....heart-wrenching, but great all the same.

Author's Response: I know, this is a tough one. You will get a break in the next chapter. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

It totally made my day when I got the email that you posted a new chapter! Once again, it was amazing!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying it!

I've been MIA from the threads because I'm taking a summer class for my nursing program stuff, so for that, I aplogize :( I wasn't even going to read this until tomorrow because I should be studying but I couldn't help it... and oh, my gosh. Poor Edward, poor Bella. My heart breaks for them both. I really can't even express how greatly this chapter tugged at my heart strings and even though it'll make me sound like a sick, twisted prick, I've got to say it. I can't wait for more angst. There, I said it! Lol! Perhaps it's just your writing that captivates me so, but either way, I'm hooked, as you already knew :)

Check out the review count, Ellie! Almost there! Still sending as many readers as I can your way because you deserve nothing but the best. And still talking about the voting sites like crazy because I'm going to do my damndest to make sure you win :) I really must be getting back to my studies now, but you did a fabulous job, as always. I cried, but that's really no surprise now, huh? Hehe. Lots of hugs and kisses to you for sharing this story! <3

Author's Response: Hugs! We miss you! Good luck with your studies and drop by when you can! Hey, do you know what happened to the Cullen award site? The link doesn't work anymore? Thanks again SO much for your amazing support!

Yowzas!  Harsh.

 

So previously I had stated that I didn't want Bella to just wake up all of a sudden because she hears Edward's voice.  But I was in a different mindset.  I think I was to quick to want to make Edward pay.  I am letting you know that I need for Bella to wake up already and forgive Edward and start loving again.

 

Alas, I know that my attempt is futile and more angst is to come.  But I will take it like the 30 something year old mother that I am.  I am putting faith in you that we will get our HEA.  But I can tell that you are getting too much enjoyment out of our heartache Bells and Edward.

 

I can't think of any predictions... I can't get past my need for them to be ok again.  No more pain.  I need love, life, laughter!!!

Author's Response: Alas, this is not a Sleeping Beauty story. There is too much mess to clean up. There will, however, be a HEA. Thanks for reviewing!

this is really heartbraking..i feel for edward but he was right.. he was really wrong to leave bella. still, i believe he deserves a chance. but i hope it won't be an easy chance.. i'm not a masochist or something.. and i know edward didn't really have a grand time while bella suffers. but still, it was his fault so i hope bella won't make it too easy for edward. but i want a happy ending as well.. just not so soon. =)

Author's Response: Don't worry. We are a ways off from any happy endings! They all have so much damage to repair! Thanks for reviewing!

I keep telling myself..."it could have been worse."
I think what really killed me was the "my beautiful, broken angel" line. God, I just about wept everytime he said it.
Today was such a fantastic day. I got an update from you, and an update on Captive. I can die happily. My angst-crave has been satisfied for now.

Author's Response: We are an angst fest over here! Thank you for all you do!

Wow.  I can't even form the words.  Just Wow.  And lots of tears.  So so sad but so beautifully done. 

Author's Response: Thank you so much. Such a pivotal chapter and so hard to write. I appreciate the support!

**sniff sniff**

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: The next chapter is a bit of a break. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reviewing!

Author's Response: The next chapter is a bit of a break. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reviewing!

WOW!  That was AMAZING!  I am so curious as to what Bella is thinking! I know she's out of it, but can she hear Edward? What is going through her head when he's talking to her?  Can she hear him?  Oh lordy!  I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: You will get the answers to those questions in chp 25! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

I love your Edward! He makes himself so hard to hate, and then all I want to do is go Esme on him and Bella and wrap them in a blanket and keep them safe! The poor dears.

Author's Response:

They both are so young and made such terrible decisions and are so hurt from it.  They need Esme....

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
