It took me literaly months to over come the review. It was on another website and they logged in it was under guest. So, they still could be lurking somewhere out in cyberland. However, I don't feel the same ways I did then. Unlike Bella, I couldn't have afford to be accused of such things ... still can't; nevertheless, I didn't know much about the fandom at the time to know the worst one could really do was make me remove the story. At the time I thought I could get sued, so a panic attack is what I about had, I was scared out of my ever loving mind. 

You have it so right when it comes to the things you said because we are all similar and different in so many aspects that it's not funny. It goes back to my feeling about things being fiction, or someone telling me to write what I know, which I have been told that too. However, it is what it is and I have learned from those mistakes or misguided thinking. 

Now days, things are better ... I'm growing as a writer, trying new styles and different ways to tell a story. I'm growing as a person in more ways each and every story I tell. And, if they were to send a note like that now ... well, I would probably laugh about it on facebook. Because it doesn't matter what people think about it really as long as it makes me happy and I am not hurting anyone in the process. I take my negative and positives with pride now because one way or another ... it's raising my review count and it makes me try harder or feel good about myself. And, everyone has an opinion whether it's good or bad it all in how one uses those in the long run. Good things came from one negative, I didn't stop and I continued to think about more things to do and learn ways to improve myself.

The only downfall is that I will NOT and REFUSE to read those books that started the review. Actually, I didn't throw them in the trash ... I mailed them to my sister. She likes them, but I won't touch them with a ten foot pole. It tarished something I loved to read for days on end. I would carry them everywhere to read. That's the sad part that I no longer have the desire to finish that story.

Thank you so much for your words ... they were GREATLY appreciated!! Hopefully, soon we will find out what happens next. 

Maybe!

Thanks!!!!

Next chapter.

We knew the reactions to chapter eight would be intense and strong.  We were shocked that some of you actually attacked Bella for being weak, but at the same time it’s not surprising.  Sometimes people who are mentally abused and neglected for years strive only for some sort of love.  I can’t imagine any child not wanting their parent to love them.  We all see love in differing ways, and when you’re raised not feeling that unconditional parental love, it makes you strive to have it—at least it did for me.  Bella will come into her own strength soon, and with the help of Edward and his family she will get better.  We are stoked for you to see the interaction with Bella viewing Esme and the way that Esme treats her children, so a portion of that is your teaser.
Many of you asked why Edward did not just beat Charlie down, or how he could have not stopped the situation, or known Jake was in the kitchen.  Edward is one person, and he was trying to watch out for Leah, Jake, Charlie, Brady and didn’t know if he could trust any of the other five people there as well.  As for when Charlie smacked Bella, he had his attention focused on Leah and Jacob.  As for why he did not punch or beat down anyone, imagine this:  Edward defends Bella by striking someone or several someone’s.  He gets arrested his word against several, one of whom is the police chief.  Meanwhile Bella is unprotected and left with the wolves.  It was best for him to do as he did get her out and safe.  And trust that he will be dealing with this.  The ball has already been rolling on a few things, but this just upped the ante.
I’m sad to say that we have lost some readers, but again we cannot and will not apologize or rose color a story about an abused girl, when a good lot of the abuse she withstands is things that are personal to one of the writers and or other people the writers know.  Abuse happens and the largest form of abuse out there is mental abuse and neglect.  Awareness is a key to making things better.  Bullying is a problem, and awareness is a key.  We are however thankful that we have readers who trust in us to bring things full circle.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:  “This is very nice, Esme,” Bella says after taking a bite.

Esme smiles broadly at Bella.  “Thank you, dear.  Edward tells me you're quite a wonderful cook yourself.”

Bella’s blush appears on her face.  “I’m nowhere near as good of a cook as this.”

I shake my head at her.  “Trust me, Bella’s cooking is to die for,” I say as Emmett passes me the wine. I pour some for Esme, Bella, and then lastly for myself.

“What are you going to college for?” Rose asks as she looks at Bella.

“I’m getting a law degree,” Bella answers, but I know the whole table can hear the sadness in her voice.

“And Edward tells us that you’re a dancer, a quite wonderful one at that.”  I look to Alice, smiling that she brought up something that makes my girl happy.

Bella nods at Alice.  “Yes, I love dancing, but I only do it for fun.”

“You’re in the Christmas dance program for the college though, right?” Esme asks as she looks at Bella.

“Yes,” she replies with another blush.

“Carlisle and I have tickets for three of the performances. I’m so looking forward to the show, and seeing you dance, of course.  The dance department director has been bragging to the board of directors about the dances that you have choreographed.” Again Bella blushes more at hearing about the commendations she’s being given.

“That’s got to be the cutest blush ever,” Emmett says in a childish voice, which is followed by a slap from Rose. 

“I love dancing, and the people I’ve been dancing with are all great.  I just hope that no one’s disappointed at the end of the night.”

Esme frowns a little. “I’m sure no one will be disappointed, dear.” My mom smiles at Bella in a way that I can see the mother in her trying to break out and pull Bella in.

The rest of the dinner seems to fly by with everyone talking about what’s been happening.  The more the night goes on, the more Esme became motherly to Bella, but I’ve also noticed Bella becoming uncomfortable with it.  At so many times, she’s looked like she isn’t sure how to react at something Esme has said or done.  She’s remained respectful, but I’ve seen her slowly distancing herself from Esme.

I walk Bella to the car and open the door for her. “I’ll just be a few seconds.” I give her a wink and walk back to house.

As soon as I do, I can hear Esme’s upset voice.  “We really need to do something.  I won’t accept that nothing can be done.”

I hear my father sigh.  “It takes time, dear.”

“No, first those little punks ... I’ll let you and Edward deal with them, but Charlie is mine!”

I chuckle, but feel a little nervous, because I can hear the anger in my mom’s voice. 

I'm sorry. I have seem to made the mistake of forgetting that in chapter two. Thank you for pointing it out....

Thanks so much for your review! We will see!
