AN: Hey, everyone. It's been almost a year since I updated this story. There's actually a really good reason for that, but, before I get into that, I just want to give everyone an UPDATE on my life.

I graduated college with a degree in music. I am currently working as the part time manager of a game store, which isn't great, but, I'm making a little money and it's given me time to think about my life. Because of that, I've actually remembered why I wanted to write so badly. I remembered that I wanted to be an author and, with that...I remembered this story.

I loved writing this story and I loved the positive responses that you guys all gave to this story. I really would love to get back to it.

Unfortunately, in the form that this story was written in, I cannot finish it. I know this. I actually had this revelation thanks to a reviewer (and, this is not a bad thing). They brought to my attention how immature Bella was and that they thought that there was a lot more development wise that I could do with her. I received another comment along the same lines, and, honestly, I went back and read the story (something I hate doing especially because of all the work I had already put into this thing).

To my amusement, they were correct. I actually was able to discuss the matter with one of them and we had several back and forth messages in which I was able to laugh at some of the decisions I had made for my character. To be honest, I started writing this thing when I was 17. For being that age, it's a pretty decent little fic. Unfortunately, you can see my writing style evolve and the experiences I've gained that change the character with me growing up.

Again, this is not a bad thing. But, I'm older now and, as much as I loved this story...I think it deserves another go with better character development and a similar storyline...even some of the same situations. But, I want to make this better. This story has a good concept...I think the story I wanted to tell was too big for my teenage self to comprehend and that's why it took so long.

Having the revelation that my characters were not as well developed or mature as they should have been honestly made me lose the will to continue the story in this form.

With that, I want to republish this fic. I want to start over from scratch and still leave this here for your viewingpleasure if you guys still want to be able to come back to it and reminisce about how you enjoyed it or how the new one is improved.

On that note: I am in at place in my life where I can actually write and do regular UPDATES on this fic once I improve it.

With the permission of you, my readers, some of who have stuck with this fic for almost six LOOOOOONG years of growing up for me, I would like to republish this and start from scratch and make it better. I know that I don't need your permission, but, hearing that you guys will stick with this story as I rework it will definitely be something that will encourage me to write this. Who knows, maybe someday I'll pull a 50 Shades and indie publish it. ;) (I'm only slightly serious...)

So, drop me a review/PM if you guys would want to see this story reworked. You know I love you all.

Also: to avoid having to do so many author's notes, I've set up a tumblr that I'm going to use toUPDATE on the status of projects and post a lot of other random writing nonsense, food, and possible cosplay things. If you want to follow it, I'm going to put a link on my profile.

Thank you guys, again, for following this story. I will hopefully hear from you all soon.
