Wow, Bella and Edward sure hit it off fast. I was glad that she had him stop before he got to far and they made a mistake. I could tell that if he done it to soon then Bella would be on edge around him. It's good that Edward had an okay reason for avoiding her, but I'm glad that he agreed not to anymore.

Did Bella tell Jasper about James? I can tell something happened between James and her, and she seemed really scared when she saw him. I'm glad Bella and Alice are friends, now. Is Edward avoiding Bella or is he really just "busy?'

Hmm, so Bella's been through a lot when it comes to men and Jasper worried about her. I love her and Jasper's friendship and I'm glad that Jasper met Alice. Edward seems like a decent guy, and I can tell he likes Bella.

Like it so far. Seems like it will be full of suspense.

Good start so far. It seems like this will be full of some suspense.

She's not a good friend. She left jasper go to jail and protected James because she didn't want anyone to know. So now all these years and all this crap there's no proof. James won't get in as much trouble or any at all even without proof he's done it before

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to those of us that love to read and these characters in all forms. Have a great summer.

I also wouldn’t mind all Bella’s abusers wrapped up in a tight karma bow. Jail just isn’t enough and Mike and Jake are still out and about.

A very good cathartic, sweet and hopeful chapter.
Phew ;-)

I know I know it’s fiction but Bella would have been in trouble for the assault of James (i.e. the slap)in a court of law. But I understand why you did it I guess.

I know often writers don’t want to get into it because it’s a story in of itself but these two NEED therapy. Even if it’s just alluded to it must happen. They won’t survive at this rate.

Given we don’t really know why they can’t have children (medically)it leaves it wide open. But there is so much sadness.

Jeeze! Yes I love this Edward all Edward’s really ;-)but anger management is important because all Bella has experienced is violence from men. That can’t be good for her. They need a Shit-ton of therapy babes.

I guess I was wrong you could do more to poor Bella.
:-( Well, I’ll have to believe you are done with her 11years of angst and pain since Charlie’s death and she will find peace. This chapter was gutting. Nuff said.

How much more does this poor girl have to endure. 10 years of fear and torture and he doesn’t want to stop. Death is the preferred option. Maybe shanked in prison.
