I can guarantee that it will be fine.  She will be a little shocked at first, but who wouldn't be?

My mind wandered back to how I got here.  I remember standing in the field, my arms around Isabella, after the duel.  It was amiable and that was how I liked it.  Suddenly I felt something cold and sharp pierce my flesh.  The pain was excruciating, but then it went numb.  I couldn’t breathe and I could feel myself weakening.  I heard Isabella screaming but I couldn’t do anything to help her.  I turned around to see my best friend, Jacob, pull his sword away with wide eyes.  I knew instantly what happened.  The swords had been switched.  And from the look in his eyes, he was as unaware as I.  I saw the ground rising to meet me as I fell in a heap.  Chaos was everywhere.  Women were screaming and crying, men were shouting and there were hands on my back.  I was losing consciousness quickly, but two words registered before blackness came.

“Edward’s dead.”

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog. (kitsushel.blogspot.com) It ties in with this one nicely.

Voting for the Original Character Awards ends today! We're up for Most Original Plot as well as Jack for Best Offspring and Best Male! It's going to be super tough!

Make sure you leave your pitchforks at the door before reading the teaser! This chapter's drama skyrockets, but I think it's necessary to complete our journey and it's the way that I've always pictured it heading.

"Call Tanya and give her this info. She'll know what to do."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll keep my ear to the ground. If I find anything else out, I'll let you know."

Bella pocketed her iPhone and her hands curled into fists. The anger that she had experienced minutes earlier paled in comparison to the rage that coursed through her. The proof that James was a part of Jack's abandonment was black and white in front of her face. She fully planned on marching back into that office and tearing a new asshole into anyone who dared to get in her way. When the elevator reached the final floor, she was alone.

The doors opened and before she could step out, she found herself once again face to face with James Brooks. His eye widened in shock and her fist flew without thought. He swiftly caught her hand and pushed her back into the elevator with his body weight. "

What the hell are you doing?" he hissed angrily.

"You- you-" she stuttered. "You piece of shit! I'm not leaving here until I talk to Edward. I know who you are and what you did to Jack. You're a miserable excuse for a human being!" she shouted in her fury.

Quicker than she could blink, one of his forearms was pressed against her throat menacingly while the other hand gripped her by the hair.

"You couldn't just leave, could you?" he ground out. "No, you had to be Miss High-And-Mighty. From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you'd be a challenge."

Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm so sad that this will be the last chapter of Parachute, but I'm happy with where we're leaving them! The Monday teasers will go up on the up on the Blog Sunday night. (kitsushel.blogspot.com)

There are also only a couple of days left to vote in the Walk of Fame Awards. Parachute is up for 3: Angst Goddess, Queen of Hearts and Story of the Year and I am also up for 3 writing awards as well: Rising Starlet, Hopelessly Devoted and Musical Maestro.

My next fic, Rabbit Heart will start posting on February 18th and will follow the same update/posting schedule as Parachute. =)

"You're grounded until you're thirty," she murmured against his hair.

"Understood," he chuckled softly.

"I'm serious," she yawned. "Wait until your father gets home."

Jack gulped audibly and nodded. "I know."

Soon, Bella's breathing evened out and soft snores filled the air. Jack's heart clenched and he truly felt horrible for lashing out at his mother. He had no idea what made him say the things he had. She had never been anything but good to him and proved her love over and over again. The phone chirped next to him and he answered it quickly, not wanting to wake her up just yet.

"Hello?" he asked softly.

"JACKSON CHARLES CULLEN! What is wrong with you, boy? Why would say something like that to your mother?" his father's voice boomed from the phone's speaker.

"Shh, Dad, please quiet down," he replied in a hushed voice.

"Quiet down?" Edward yelled. "Are you seriously telling me to be quiet? Boy, have you lost your mind?"

"No, Dad, please," Jack whispered, "Mom is sleeping next to me."

Better late than never!! Thanks for reading and taking the time to review!!

Next, as promised, here is the BPOV for part of Chapter 20. This is from the time Esme leaves until Edward comes to her room!
“Bella?” I heard Edward’s voice, but it sounded distant.

Beautiful

Amazing

Caring

Not a gold-digger

Did he just say all of that? About me? I thought he felt that way...but to stand up to his mom? Did he just...

When I turned my face towards his, I could see the hesitancy behind his eyes as he held his hands up. He did...did he mean this?

I heard myself sob before I recognized the moisture on my cheeks.

I didn’t know what to do, so I ran.

The only room Edward had never invaded was my room. This was my safe haven when I couldn’t handle him anymore.

Over the past nine years, I had seen Edward be a lot of things, but I had never seen him be the man I saw today. When I saw him walk into the room, I expected him to snap at me for hitting his precious mother, but then he didn’t...and then he said...

I started to sob harder. My heart felt like it was ripped to shreds.

I was lying to myself if I didn’t see a family with Edward, but I couldn’t do it. I had never thought I wanted it before, but now that he was here, everyday, I wanted it. I wanted to trust him, but I didn’t know how because memories of her always loomed in my head, but now...now...God, I was so confused.

“Bella?” I heard him before I saw him. I looked up and was captivated by his eyes so I quickly glanced down. I couldn’t let him see his effect on me, not until I knew what it meant.

Could I move past this?

Could we move past this?

I wasn’t sure...but I was willing to try.


Last, is the outtake for Blind Intentions Chapter 21! Sorry it’s un-beta’d!
“So, what is going on with you two?” Emmett asked quietly in the kitchen. I followed the train of his sight to Bella, who was currently sitting under a pile or gifts bags and tissue paper.

“We’re going to try,” I answered. Try as I might I couldn’t help the smile that took over my face.

I heard Emmett talking, but was too busy looking over at Bella to listen. Her head turned and our eyes met. She returned my smile, before looking down and blushing lightly.

Alice hit her knee and she immediately went back to focusing on the thank you notes the women were currently working on.

WOO HOO! If you’ve made it to the end, you’re pretty awesome! Until next week, lots of love!!!!!

Ah, yes, this story is also on Twilighted. I wasn't planning on posting here since the story is already so far in, but then I thought, why not? Lol. Yes, it is a very sensitive subject to read and write, but thank you so much for giving it a try. Unfortunately, I write from experience myself, and it took me a while to work up enough courage to actually continue with this once I started and then post it. But I'm glad I did. Thank you very much for the review and lovely rating! 

Oh my!  Thank you for the offer.  I have a wonderful beta, friend actually, who goes over eerything - we must have missed the tenses.  Thanks for telling me, I'll look over the chapters, and thanks for the offer!  It is my first story and I hope you continue to read it!
