Great that all the Cullens are so supportive especially Rose - that's a nice change.I hope Bella never returns to Charlie and that something nasty happens to Charlie -perhaps paralysis from the neck down after being beaten. Update soon please.

another great chapter...really can't wait for the next one!

must charlie return? I'm sure he could fall off of one of those cliffs or something...

another great chapter!

Great chapter. Update soon please.

Wow, this story is going really well. And thank you for answering my review in your authors note. That was very kind of you :) I really hope that Bella moves in with the Cullens for good. Oh, and I also wanted to compliment you on the whole Rosalie-actually-liking-Bella thing. It's a nice change. Update soon xo

Great chapter...and this may sound dumb, but where is said lemony one shot? haha

I'm with ya! I can't wait for this weekend, we are finally going to have some cool weather...I can't remember the last time we've had a day where it wasn't in the 90's..'m so ready for fall.. Glad your honey returned home and you were able to "catch up"...

Our poor bella, everything she's been through and she worries about someone else hurting, so sad but sadly typical.

I can't wait for her to find out their secret...

UPDATE SOON! (you'll find I'm greedy when it comes to wanting updates)

cute and sweet i hope charlie gets his he needs to get thrown in prison or die something he is evil

I'm glad Bella feels so safe with the Cullens, and that they care for her!

Nice to see a softer side to Rose even though overall she's still tough. Charlie needs to have something really nasty happen to him as do the Blacks and Renee. I hope Bella stays with the she could become a vampire and Charlie could be her first meal?Update soon please.

Thanks for the shout out...I think I love you, too.

I love, love, loved this chapter. I love that Bella feels comfortable with them, and you've done a great job of explaining why she does so quickly in a way that doesn't feel rushed or glossed over. Not an easy feat, from what I've read.

Beautiful interaction between Edward and Bella, just intimate and self aware enough. Good job keeping them in character. This story is quickly becoming one that I can't wait to see updated!

more please! I've never read an abusive Charlie story... I don't like to think that of his character... I know it's an AU... so it's interesting, though... and I'm thrilled with the drama.

Great story, awaiting next chapter with baited breath.

ok well it wasn't rose that got to play first but I'm sure it's coming...

aww they kissed...

your charlie really is scum...I've read some abusive stories before but I think this one is the creepiest...

I'm glad she left with edward I'm hoping this is the start of her trusting them a little bit to help her get away from her "dad".

can't wait for your updates!

another great chapter!
