Those last few sentences always get to me.)

I'm having fun rereading this.)

I've finally gotten around to reading this story. I just couldn't stop until I completely read every single word. I was praying B wouldn't marry Alec. Thank you for finally having Bella find her spine and tell everyone who mattered to fuck off. I believe she would have found her own self with or without Edward. She might not have been in a committed relationship or ecstatically happy, but she would have been able to live the life she wanted.

I have you on AA. Write on.

Life is frequently spent trying to learn from the mistakes and bad choices we make. Edward learned the hard way as we all do. And so did Bella. It's what we do with what we've learned from the bad choices and mistakes that shapes the rest of our lives. So far they are both doing okay.

Another very fitting ending. Not surprised that Bella and Phil were able to establish a relationship. Nor that he actually likes Edward. Phil just didn't seem to be a bad guy. He was driven to be a very succesful businessman and parts of his life probably were shallow. But not necessarily in a bad way. Hope Alec got exactly what he wanted. He probably wasn't a bad guy either. All products of the environment they grew up in. Bella found her passion for art and what she wanted to do with her life because of Edward and his teaching stint. Alice and Jasper found each other. Renee was never really in Bella's life to begin with and is no great loss. She was never meant to be a parent. She was just meant to have Bella so other people's lives could be complete. Thanks for a good and very enjoyable story.

No actually, she couldn't go with him. There's really nothing for her in New York at the moment. They need the seperation so Bella can continue figuring out what it is that's important. And for Edward to make her understand and believe that he really does want her. For her. Alice has met Jasper and all is right in her world. It remains to be seen what that means for them. A tattoed and pierce Jasper is certainly different. Can't even imagine what her family is going to say. Or what they'll do. Edward is back and they have finally admitted their true feelings for each other. Now we'll see what happens in the future.

Forks is a small town. Everyone knows everyone else and probably their life story. Grew up in a town like that. Edward will have a lot of luck there. Mostly because he's an extremely good looking novelty, but also because he is in love with the returned beloved daughter of the beloved police chief who was killed in the line of duty. Winning the Fellowship was not a surprise. He has the talent and drive to be a great artist. His trip to New York will be just as brief as he can make it. As much as Bella is right to be worried about what may happen when he's there, he is going to be concentrating on getting back to her. Betting Alice is going to go to one of his exhibits and Jasper will be there and they'll fall in love. Hey, it sounds like a good idea, lol.

Bella more or less knows the whole story now. Which is going to give her a lot to think about. Edward is certainly serious about his intentions. Hmm. Jasper is Edward's friend. Edward is going to need his stuff shipped to WA. What are the chances that Alice and Jasper are going to meet? Edward will probably be able to find a job much quicker than Bella. He's done a lot of different stuff to keep himself going.

Bella is starting to get her life together. To figure out what she's going to do. Phil's call is sort of a surprise. But not totally. He was never the bad guy. That he's leaving her trust fund in her name is not a bad thing. He is feeling rather guilty about the ten years she lived with him. It will be there if she ever needs it. Though it wouldn't surprise me if she just left it there. She will never have any kind of relationship with her mother. Renee is in the past and always will be. Bella and Phil just might be able to work out a friendship. Edward showing up is not all that big a surprise either. He really did love Bella. Or does love Bella. She just needs to hear him out.

She did it. She finally realized how unhappy she had really been since her father was killed. That her life has been a lie. She didn't make it that way. Renee made it that way. Bella has a good education and a house she can call her own. Her old friends from childhood will be there for her. Alice will be there for her. She doesn't want Phil's money. She is going to do whatever it takes to make her life her own again.

Tori, or Victoria, may or may not have been sleeping with Edward. He may just actually be renting studio space from her. Though not a definite. Whatever it was has ended. Bella is leaving everything behind. She's going to go do whatever she can to forget what she's been doing for the last ten years. Will she end up with Edward? A possibility if he can find her. What she doesn't know yet is how she's going to get away. Alice will be there for her.

Getting more fun by the minute. Inevitable that they would end up in bed together. Now there's going to be some real drama. Does Bella have control over her trust fund? Betting not. Phil is going to take it all away. Renee is going to go totally bs. They'll both disown her. What is Alice's roll going to be in all this? Will she help Bella and Edward however she can?

More tangled by the minute. Sort of love this stuff. Not a real drama fan, but the humor and fun situations are great. Alec is such an ass. Edward is still trying to make decisions for everyone else. Few of which ever work. Bella is beginning to realize she really doesn't want to be married to Alec. She doesn't love him and never has. He's just a safe bet. Isn't going to ask more of her than make him look good. Too funny.

Tangled webs have nothing on this. My surmise is Alec is marrying Bella only to appease Phil. He's probably having an affair with someone. Or maybe not. Bella is not his first priority. Also get the feeling she doesn't love him. She's just doing what is expected of her. Then Edward shows up out of the blue. This is going to be a lot of fun. And drama. And probably a lot more heartbreak or heartache at the very least. It is fun.

Making it through college keeps her going. You can't fight for what you can't see. Bella has nothing left in her life to really care about. So she becomes a pawn in Phil's corporate games. Get the feeling that may not work quite as well as everyone thinks it should. Bella isn't like the other corporate wives. She wants to be the woman her father would have wanted her to be. The two are not going to work well together.
