ok, your a/n wasn't kidding. When my son was 17 he told me if his girlfriend got pregnant it was no big deal, they'd just get rid of it. I tried telling him that it would never leave him, and would change everything. This story tells it much better

Such a beautifully written, tragic story. I just want to hug your Rosalie and tell her not to do it - that no one or nothing is worth taking your life. I find myself feeling so angry with Edward. I know that he's young but it just seems like it was so easy for him to give up on Rosalie and replace her with Bella. He may have been suffocating under the same expectations as she was but it just feels like he abandoned her. Ouch. I do believe this one is going to stay with me for a while. xo

This was a really great story!

Wow. I'm not sure there are words to express how strongly Rosalie's pain hit me with this story. I'm sure this couldn't have been easy to write, Kathy, but you did an amazing job. **hugs**

Rose - so beautifully broken, bravo.

Not your usual fare, thanks for exploring somewhere off your usual beaten path.

This hits so close to home right now and it scares the shit out of me. Who determine how long it takes for one to get over the relief and sink into the guilt? Who decides if they do? Can you ever be prepared for how they react? Rosalie's unfortunate decisions are my fears for another and I feel helpless to stop it. Decisions made, decisions owned. I could not the the owner of these. :(

Written well as always Ms.

I really enjoyed reading this. Well, enjoyed might not be the best word but you know what I mean. I found this to be unique and you told it well. Thank you for writing.

Kate

This was written beautifully! Rose's downfall was described so vividly I swear I felt it, too. Excellent job!

MsKathy, this haunted far after I finished it. I really enjoyed it despite the sadness I felt. Thank you for sharing it!

Wow. Good.

You’ve written a stunningly poignant tale that made my heart ache. Your Rosalie’s mental and emotional downward spiral is believable and it corresponds quite well with the Rosalie we see in the Twilight Saga, longing and mourning for a life that she cannot hope to realize. It’s also a testament to a sad truth: we cannot go back in time and take another path or make another decision. Your Edward understands this and moves forward, and yet he doesn’t abandon Rosalie, still caring for her even as she pushes him away. I admire his persistence in trying to help her, finally involving her parents. In this tale, however, Rosalie gets to make her own decision. While it might not be the ending some of your readers want, life doesn’t always come with a happy ever after. It’s probably safe to assume that Rosalie’s parents and Edward will always have regrets, too. Thanks for a good tale, well written!

God, I just want to hug her so badly. You did a great job with this. I always love the way you write Rose, and you didn't disappoint here. So good.

Poor Rose... I can't imagine what it must be like to feel that desperate. It is a shame that she couldn't talk to someone. And now everyone will suffer in a way that they should never have had to suffer... Great writing, love...

Oh Kathy - where to begin. That was an amazing story, and I'm quite shattered. You captured Rosalie's desperation perfectly, in fact a little too perfectly. I'm quite unsettled by the whole thing. Tragic.

Oh good lord this is going to be hard...my heart goes out to Rosalie. I know her pain and it sucks ass big time. It gets better with time but it's still there in the back of your mind. In your heart. Always wondering what if? So with that said I will see you next time. Take care sweet lady...3
