I stayed far away from the driftwood log that Bella had said was our log.
Aw, everywhere he goes there are memories of Bella. No wonder he moved away.

I laughed as she insisted on dipping her toes into the water and then screeched about how cold it was.
I like Lila. She's a short-haired blonde who likes photography, Jacob Black and doing stupid things. *thumbs up*

"Wow. So, you left because you were devastated about Bella, but here you are with a new girl,"
*snorts* As much as I like Jacob and respect him and think he needs some space for moving on, yeah, pretty much, Quil. If you put it like that, it sounds like a dick move.

Bella's pale, heart-shaped face was a mix of surprise and hurt; nothing was held back.
Funny, NM was all about Bella lying to herself (and, you know, everybody else) about her feelings, now she's letting it go at the worst period possible.

"I'm trying. Will you try, too?"
*sniffles* Oh, such a broken family.

"Bells, just remember I'll take him down if he hurts you. I got your back."I love how they've become ( ... )

Which review? The one where you told me to burn in fanfic hell? LOL Hell no! That's one of my favorite reviews!
I've written about 50 some-odd (give or take), fics and drabbles, and three of them have a little drinking in them, but I always get a little lecture/comment about the alcohol. :(
No fair!

Charlie's POV would be cool, but I think I'd rather have Lila's POV. Curious to see just what Jake has told her about Bella, and also curious to see just how deep she's in with Jake. I mean, who could not fall for Jacob?
The scene on the beach with Jake and the pack, Lila and Bella - can you say awkward?

Sweet! The majority seems to be for Charlie's POV, but I can tell you now.. Lila's POV soon wouldn't be out of the question! I agree, some insight on her part could be interesting. And yes, who wouldn't fall for him??

Yeah, awkward situation for sure. Though the pack suspected and went back to work, so that's a *tiny* bit better. haha. Thanks for the R&R, bb!

It's not really Lila's bizz, but because she cares for Jake, I guess I could understand. Also why should Jake worry if he's hurting Bella? He's been through enough with her, let her stew.

Whoa Charlie went off the rails. But still he just lost his only daughter, they could've tried again with him.

Still liking Leah also. Maybe being friends with Bella is a good thing.

Great chapter.

Thanks! It definitely wasn't Lila's business, but concern makes us do crazy things sometimes! As far as Billy and Sue, they could have.. but knowing the frame of mind he was in, Billy having "lost" Jacob in a way, too.. and them being men probably didn't make it easier.

And yay for Leah! ;)
