**Possible Triggers: pedophilia (skip about 11 minutes in), blood **In this episode of Reading Held Hostage, Blue kind of changes her mind about Edward. She is turning more to the Team Edward side of things instead of the ‘I hate them both and want them to go away’. Justin on the other hand can’t get over the freaking la push joke and says it a lot more times, much to Blues chagrin. Even though we only got through three, yes you read that right, only THREE, chapters, we are glad you folks were here
