Thank you so much for this story! It isn't finished, but still it's a great one! I love the way you describe your characters. It:s not a walk in the sunshine, it's realistic. Feelings and attitudes don't change quickly or easily, especially when you've been hurt deeply. And hurt are most of your characters. But in the long run, they don't give up. They work on their relationships and try it again and again - steps back included. Charlotte is a real teenager, angry scared and hurt. It takes a lot to cope with her... for Bella, Carlisle, Peter and the readers just as it takes a lot to endure and love every other teenager who lashes out.
Congratulations to this story! Even not-finished it is a jewel!

I'm so glad you're back, Lisa! I love this story but have been neglecting all of my stories. So I went back and started over. I love this story even more the second time around. I'm so glad Emily is ok. I was crying with Bella waiting to find out if she was ok. I feel bad for Bella, Carlisle, and Charlotte. They were making progress and now Charlotte is back to being her "pleasant self" hatefulness and all! I have 5 kids, 3 of which are girls and teenage girls are the worst. Hopefully they'll figure out what Charlotte's issues are. I think she's feeling scared because she almost lost Bella and Peter and baby Emily! I also think she feels guilty because they were going to look for her when the accident occurred.
I hope things are getting better for you. And I really hope your dad has gotten better. I've kept him in my thoughts and prayers, along with you and your family!
I'll be waiting for the next chapter now that I'm caught back up. Hugs~

That made me laugh and cry. Charlotte wants to blame only Bella for the things that happened despite Carlisle admitting his faults. He's her daddy and he can do no wrong. It's a lot easier to blame Bella. Alice and Edward and the tongue comment, that's how any sister would react to hearing such things. Loved it!
Hope your dad is doing well.

Hi. Lisa. It's been a longtime for me and I started over from the beginning and read straight through. TWCS doesn't seem to move your story to the top of my favorites when you update for some reason but I'm so glad I'm caught up. I loved this story from the beginning and am happy you have been able to post when you could.
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. Cancer is such a devestating and unforgiving disease. My husband lost an uncle in September and unfortunately has affected many other family members including my who fortunately has been cancer free for 5 years. My 15 yo daughter donated her hair to locks of love two weeks ago, which was amazing. Her hair was down past the middle of her back. She said she did it not only for our family but for those she doesn't know but fight everyday! We'll keep your family in our thoughts and prayers!
Sincerely,
Virginia

I can't believe he just packed up and left without a word!! And that he turned to Kate, wtf. I know that Bella handles this wrong, and Edward's mother only added to it by asking Bella to lie! They certainly have themselves in a big mess. I hope Carlisle contacts Bella soon. I'll be watching for the next chapter.
Im so glad you're feeling better, Lisa. It's most definitely always something. Allergies are ridiculous down here in south central Texas.
Virginia
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment! I am feeling so much better, thank you. Just got the go ahead to for some meds for the allergies. The news said they are bad in the northeast because of that winter vertox. I don't know why but it just needs to be done with. I hope you are feeling well yourself.
Carlisle was a little bit of a jerk. He didn't pack up and leave to be mean, he just was at his breaking point. Shoudl he have spoken to Bella first, of course, but he didn't. Esme really thought that she was doing the right thing. She wasn't trying to cause any pain or anything, but of course she did.
I would love your thoughts on the next chapter.
Thanks again for reading...it means a lot that there are people who are enjoying what I write :)

I've been waiting for something had to happen with Edward. With the way he was talking Christmas Eve I ACTH thought he was going to try to commit suicide!!! They are all in such a screwed up situation. Like everyone else, I believe he needs help, much more help than Bella and his family can give him. Bella is in such a horrible position. She has to be be there for Edward, especially since he was there for her. But at the same time she wants to be with Carlisle and the kids. Thank God for Alice's words of wisdom and pep talk giving an outsider's POV into Carlisle. Ed sure picked a hell of a moment to call! Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm on oins and needles to find out what's up with Edward.
I'm sorry you've been sick, Lisa, but glad to hear you're doing better. Make sure you take care of yourself and don't over do it or you'll end up back where you were. As impatient as I am, I'd rather it take longer to get the next chapter than for you to get sick again. Til next time...
Virginia
Author's Response:
Hi Virginia,
Hope all is well. I am feeling much better thank you....just some spring time allergies now :/ Ugh, always something, right? lol Thank yo ufor your concern.
Oh Ed and his timing! It isn't good! We will find out what is going on with Edward in the begining of the next chapter. He does need some help. Alice is going to become a great person for Bella to depend on. A really great friend. Bella is making choices she thinksi s right. She's trying her best but is it enough?
Thank you again so much for reading and commenting and sticking with me even though the postings have been sparactic.

Wow!!! I never saw that coming! I loved this chapter although I hated Edward being hurt. I had a feeling Tanya was cheating but I never would've dreamed it was with Jasper. Talk about being a hypocrite. This is actually worse than what Jacob did to Bella because Jasper is Edward's brother. I cried for Bella and Edward! I can't fathom being done that way. Wow!
Thanks for an awesome chapter, Lisa! I've missed you and your wonderful story.
Til next time,
Virginia

Hi Virginia,
I appologize for resoding to this a month later. I was so sick and just didn't have it in me to work on the story until recently, but I'm better now and hopefully will keep going. The story is mostly done and outlined, I just have to type it!
Anyway, thank you so much for finding the story and enjoying it! I just uploaded the next chapter. Unfortunitly for the next several chapters things will be anything but rosey :(

I dont know why but for some reason i thought Jacob sas going to be the ine waiting for Bella. Crazy, right?! It would make sense thiugh that now that she's moved on that he would show up just to stir things back up. The old adage "they don't want you but they don't want anyone else to have you either" came to mind for a minute.
Bella is so sweet and thoughtful. I know Charlotte is having a tough time and I hope she snaps out of her mood soon. It's easy to see how much Bella loves them all. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Thanks again for showing your love of writing.
Author's Response:
Hello,
Jacob was not there, as you now know, but he may or may no tbe in future chapters (I know, I'm just not telling :)).
the next chapter (which i just posted) has a lot of Charlotte in it. I hope you enjoy it. I would ove to know what you think about it.

In reading over my review, I feel that my wording with regards to your sister and going through the things that she has been going through along with the rest of the strong and resilient people of Boston, came across wrong (at least to me). The main thing I wanted to express was that I'm happy that she wasn't injured. I can't imagine what Boston and the surrounding areas have been going through, but my thoughts and prayers are with them all.
Im anxiously awaiting your next chapter. I hope that your Internet issues have been resolved. :-)

OMG!! I'm completely and totally hooked on this story! I'm dying to find out who is at Bella's apartment! I was intrigued when I read the summary and put this story on alert. I have read your other stories (a couple of them twice). I have had you on my favorite authors for a while and love your stories.
I'm sorry that your sister has had to deal with all that she with the Boston bombings, but very glad that she wasn't injured.
Author's Response:
Thank you for coming aboard and reading! I have this sng mostly mapped out and there is still a long road ahead of these characters. i hope you stick around for their adventures!

I'm updating the story after I send this to you. Cant' wait to hear what you think!

Well, he just might decide he wants her instead of Kate. He should never marry anyone that does not love his children and that they can not love. They should come first.

Okay we get it Edward is her best friend/brother. Tanya is his wife (of course). Leah has been shacking up with Jacob behind B's back. Emmett is married to Rose. You did not say that but you will. Jasper is B's brother he must be married to Alice. You didn't say that either but you will.
Bella went to college and Jacob is a lawyer they lived in Phoenix and she is moving back to Seattle. So I hope I am up here.
Author's Response:
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in my story. Sorry about the long delay in updating. I've had some internet issues.
While I am happy that you are reading my story, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic in your comments. It's so hard to tell because it's just typed words and I can't tell if you seem to like what I have written or are annoyed with what I have written. If you have an issue with the story please don't read it. If I am misinterpreting your comment in any way please disregard what I said and I hope you continue to enjoy the story (and I'm sorry if I was wrong).
Thanks for reading,
