You gave me some serious feels with this tragically beautiful story. And I'd blame it on hormones, but, I seriously cried.
Beautiful story.

That was so sad. Bravo. Eloquently and beautifully written.

A most beautiful and sad story. Thank you for writing.

So beautiful and heartbreaking. I cried and cried.

Beautiful and heart breaking! Thank you!

OMG THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMZING IT HAS LEFT ME SPEECHLESS AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CHAPTER I HAD TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE THIS WAS TRULY AMAZING AND U TOTALLY DESERVED TO BE A FINALIST BUT IM GONNA SAY URS WAS WAY BETTER THEN THE FIRST 3

Thanks for this story and reccommending the tissues, I really needed them.

So sad.

This was awesome! I was so moved by the way you expressed Edward's emotions in this alternate ending. Your phrasing is simultaneously beautiful and painful. It felt like Bella really had died. I had never let myself fully imagine that before. I always figured, without Bella, that Edward would find a way to end his life no matter what responsibilities he had waiting for him, but this is more true to life, I think. Excellent work!

This was such a heart rending story. I actually cried. Wonderful work.

Oh GOD, I'm bawling at work!

I loved this one-shot ! Thank you for writing and sharing the story with us...!

I favorited this story a long time ago and I didn't have the heart to actually read it trhough.

I spent a long time afraid of living alone. I spent countless hours crying over it. I spent too much time thinking about it. And, when I finally found someone to hold my hand in the darkness, I was terrified thinking it wouldn't last. Sometimes, I still feel all of those things.

My greatest fear is losing him. I mean, I know that I have my family. I know that I have my friends. But... I always- always- wanted someone who could understand me, see me, hear me, and know me more than any one else. I wanted to find someone who wants me in ways I've never felt come from any one in my entire life. And, at 20, I found him.

Edward, in this story, managed himself a lot better than I could even possibly imagine myself dealing with a similar circumstance. I don't see how I would be able to breathe once I register that he was not.

And, although I understand what it means to have Reneesme- a living, breathing, warm reminder that Bella was- I still don't see how I would be able to look into the same eyes and know that not only did I fail... but, I will be alone forever and always because I could not bare to see any other eyes... I don't know what I would do.

This was really beautiful. And, yes, thank you for giving Edward something to live for. I believe in reincarnation and I believe that every person is meant to find true happiness. In my own imagination, as Edward has unlimited time ahead of him, he will find his Bella again. She will come back to him.

i cried reading this

Angsty Owie. So good. I can picture every bit of that happening. Excellent job.
