I wish Bella would shoot more firecrackers to Edward. Like if Bella is the one who lose V card to other person while they are dating, will Edward forgive her so easily? Personally I hope Edward suffered more and hope the other will be more considerate Bella's feeling rather than told her to grow up!

So well written. I wonder how your life has progressed after 3 babies...
Have you had anything published? You deserve it.

Oh Boy, you've nailed it. The love struck teenagers. It feels so real.

Excellent story line. You are a talented writer.

I've read and re-read this story quite a few times. Particularly when I'm in the mood to be sad. I know it's weird and I can't quite explain it but I have these moments when I just want to be sad and this story puts me in a melancholy mood, in a good way, if that makes sense.

I love their love and then their loss and their eventual re-connection. And I for one am glad there was forgiveness. I don't believe in holding grudges because ultimately they affect you as much as they affect the other person. I also love when Bella admits that there are some things you just don't get to be ready for; I agree with the notion. Not necessarily just in relation to the "first time" but in many things in life.

In any case, despite it being years since you've written this story, I just wanted to comment to say that I love this story and the sentiments that come with it. :) Also I've found that the song Paper Hearts by Tori Kelly fits the mood of the fic. Thanks for the story!

How does she know him, Didn’t she go to school with him last year?

Hmmm,so this is later, after he left her before.

I love this story. So emotional. I feel it all. Second time I have read it. Thank you.

I am so glad to hear Bella acknowledge that the fault wasn't all Edward's. I know 17 year olds are odd, but surely there was scope for some middle ground between one over clothing boob grope and full on sex; talk about all or nothing.

Captivating! Thank you

I just want to say that this story could have only been written this well by some girl/woman that has went through the exact same that her character Bella has. That‘s why every excerpt of this is blunt real. It’s cold ...and I understand completely. Oh, for the love to boys.

OH PLEASE tell me that Bella isn't STILL a virgin! She better not be and I hope that she never forgives Edward. He doesn't deserve it.

When he asked if they could maybe be friends my went "NO".

boohoohoo, asshole. NO MERCY! (I'm tough on crime) lol!

gah! epov. that jerk. boys are stupid. men are no better!

God. I've read this story before, but as I re-read it, it breaks my fucking heart. I remember my first big break up - I was in my twenties - and I felt like it tore out all the air in my lungs. I was a late bloomer, and felt like I was 13 years old, just a mess. I'm 49 now, and I can still recall it with such clarity. I've had subsequent heartaches, and maybe 12 years ago, I just stopped dating. It was never worth it, I never got out what I put in, and I chose to protect myself instead, and just stopped. I don't think love is for everybody - despite what your friends say, I don't think that there IS somebody for everybody. For some of us, it just doesn't work out.

Sigh. Isn't this a happy fucking post? ugh. Sorry - I'm just really feeling Bella right now!
