Wow, just wow. You did an amazing job with this story. The baseball ending, just like the baseball start was so clever.

This is such a wonderful story, I have to admit I cried for so much of this. Edward was beautifully written and the way you drip fed his prdeal through his interactions with others was just as amazing.

I should have had faith they would come back to each other, but it was a tough journey.

Thank you

Beautiful story, thanks for sharing it!

Read this in one day, incredible. I’ve never had anyone in my life experience anything like this but I feel like i have first hand experience of it now. The pain, recovery, trust and everhthing was so well written. I feel like I’ve lived through a thousand lives. Thank you, wonderful read. Would have loved more chapters or an epilogue on how they turned out

This was a hard subject matter. But you wrote it well. I'm glad you put the warning out there because it was a difficult read. But dear Author you wrote it without being graphic. Thank you for that. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to read it.

Go Forward... it's all anyone can do...

Faith...

I'm glad that Edward and Bella at least got to say that they loved one another before all the bad happened. But because this is a fictional story and I love Edward and Bella so much that I can't help hoping that they'll be together one day again.

Growing up is hard... it's true that in reality we have to make hard choices...We are only responsible for the way we choose to behave. Sometimes when life doesn't go the way you truly want you need to push through as best you can. And sometimes it means going it alone until you are in a more healthier mind set. Dear Author you are exceptional at writing what the main characters are experiencing emotionally.

Eighteen years old...a critical time emotionally. Seeing the difference in each character's growth over the last two years and it's heartbreaking to see that Edward seem 20 years older than this group of friends. Those sick bastards that stole him broke him. But I see strength in him and that gives me hope.

WOW, Emmett really put it into words without being graphic about it. Just choking sadness, taking someone's innocence. Again I can't express how this fictional story is gutting me. The writing of this story is exceptional and I'm grateful that it only hints at the sheer magnitude and the most vile evil of violating a child. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to read any further. I'm still wiping tears from my eyes. Yes, this is a fictional story and characters, but in reality this kind of evil is real. And that's scary and heartbreaking. I wonder dear Author, if you have a psychology degree because the way you write emotions are so spot on.

Intense...

My heart is so torn...I know this is a fictional story but the ugliness in the world hurting the kindest of souls just ...I can't even express what I feel in words...

Mixed emotions... it's obvious he's been through something unspeakable...

This is the beginning...heart stopping. OMG!

This hurts my heart...
