I am glad he didn't wait to propose. That would be too long a wait for everyone especially Bella. I enjoyed this story so much. The growth and change of these two was heartbreaking and poignant. They still need to work on communicating their needs.(Bella)

My mother had me tested. The best line.

It looks like James and the team got their way and turned Edward. How are his parents handling this? Have they lost their control over him?
Master is awk by a lot out of Bella and he doesn't know it.

Oh my he gutted me with that admission. I know it's a lie but it hurt.

gotta love alex

I truly enjoyed this story. The heart wrenching truth of the cruelty and self shame of the masses thrown at over weight young people brings life long scars deeply ingrained in their self worth. This was a journey of pain and suffering but also of true love shining through the bigotry of bullies. Well done dear Author! I applaud you. Best wishes to you always!

I think poor Bella needs to see a to therapist for her low self esteem thanks to her mother. I don't like how your Charlie I think I have found like maybe two stories where Charlie was written to be an awesome dad. I think a lot of fanfiction writers must not like father's.

I think Bella is a coward and one again Charlie is the one to pay for it because Bella is a coward. Why didn't she tell at least her aunt what she heard. I mean Really how stupid can she be to expect her to know what she heard.

Sorry but Edward is a really friend and if he remains friends with bullies than he is no better than they ate I don't care what age he is.

It seems to me she cares more about Phil than Charlie. On e again I feel bad for Charlie never good enough for Bella pretty much in every story in fanfiction.

Great chapter :)

Truly hope that Bella gets the therapy she needs. This poor girl has been through so much!

everytime I read this story it's like the first time.. I loved how you didn't make it like most chess romance there was a struggle and heartbreak and she needed time to fully trust his words amazing

I saw this posted today. Just getting started.

This story keeps making me cry oh my gosh. I remember being a fat middle schooler who didn’t have friends. My big sister was (and still is) my best friend and I always was scared she’d abandon me.

This fic might take me some time to get through. It’s great but it’s hard.
