Autumn Dream

Skedaddle

Haha. Yeah, Dylan's in a bit of a tricky situation! All I can say about that is that it's not going to be getting better soon... Thanks for another wonderful review! It means a lot! Oh, and Denika's my favorite character, too! A.D.

Yes, it is. Dylan not only has to deal with Tanis, Eden, and Denika, but also his father's troubling behavior and the crumbling relationship between him and Dylan's mother. There's more to come dealing with that in chapter 5, which will be up either tomorrow or the next day. Glad you're liking the story so far, and thank you for the review! A.D.

I finished reading the mysterious message and turned to Denika with my mouth hanging open in complete and utter shock, absolutely speechless. She furrowed her brow and glanced down at the paper I was holding. "What's that?" she asked, leaning forward and trying to read it from upside down. "Is that a birthday card? Or is that… oh wow! Dylan got a love letter!" she screamed excitedly. "Oh my God! Is it from Tanis?!" "Shush! Don't say stuff like that out loud! I… I don't know if it is or

We'll change it to UDDER (No 's') eradicate

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! I plan to update every two-five days, at least for the remainder of the summer. The rough drafts are written through to chapter 8 already, but I'm not giving anything away about the note! Haha. I'm sure everyone who reads this will want to know, but you have to wait! I can tell you one thing, though: It'll take a while for Dylan to figure out who the note is from. There are clues - leads that need to be followed! Much is to come! Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story as it unfolds! A.D.

See, that's the thing! I wrote the letter to make it questionable as to which person (Tanis or Eden) it was from. In a way, it could suit either one! Dylan HAS been getting to be slightly better friends with Tanis, and they have enjoyed quite a few laughs throughout the year. Eden, however, could have written it too! She and Dylan are practically dating, at least... in her mind, that is... I'll just make you wait and see!!! Oh, and remember: Denika can be quite persuasive sometimes, at least in Dylan's opinion. He didn't like her idea, but went along with it anyway because he desperately wanted to know if Tanis felt the same as him. Whether or not the plan helped is under lock and key for now. Thanks for the review, Lisa! Your questions always make me so happy! I love that I get you thinking! A.D.

I racked my brain for the right way to explain this to Denika. I guess there really wasn't any other way to say it than the brutal truth… I'd fallen for a boy and I needed help. Before I could even speak though, our conversation was interrupted by the loud buzzing of my cell phone, buried somewhere deep in my drenched pocket. I was glad to see it was still working after having gotten wet in the rain! I looked at who the caller was and turned my attention back to Denika. "It's my Mom. She's

Wow. That was really beautiful and touching. :') Nice find!

Oh! I'm so embarrassed! Geez, I can't believe I didn't catch those on my edits. Oh well, I'm only human. Can't catch everything! X) Thanks for letting me know! Yes, Dylan's mom is a wonderful woman. I enjoy writing for her character. Much more is to come in relation to her soon! I already have written up to chapter 8, so I can assure you of that!!! I post chapter's as I finish final editing, so chapter 4 should be along soon. Your questions will all be answered, I guarantee it! Once again - I hate plot holes! Oh, and things will happen as a result of the illustration job, too, so there is a reason! XD Thanks for the review! I always appreciate it! It's good to know I get you thinking! - A.D.

I let out a giant breath that I didn’t know I was holding. I couldn't believe I just did that. Since when have I ever really done anything on a whim? Now, telling Denika was planned, but this was just… sudden. I hated surprises, but I think I just surprised myself with this one. Tell me again why I decided to do this? "Please, don't hate me," I said to her with my head down. I felt so ashamed at that moment. What would she say? What are the ramifications of this? I didn't want he

Tenant Ooh... I might have just ended the game there! Any words that start with nt?

Haha. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Your kind words mean a lot! I'd like to think of myself as being notorious for cliff hangers, so I can guarantee several dramatic endings in the future! I have quite a lot planned for this story, I assure you. I won't give away anything about his mom or Denika as of yet, but I'm glad to get you thinking! Thanks again, A. D.

Aww, thanks. I'm glad you like it! Your review is much appreciated!!!

Never heard of it! The name comes from someone I actually used to know a long time ago. I always loved his name, and I've been kind of wanting to use it in a story, so there you go! I also love the names Tanner and Taryn, with Taryn having been the love interest in Comicality's Gone From Daylight series - amazing series that I would definately reccomend if you haven't read it already! Anyways, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying it!!! Oh, and yes, the bashful ones are to DIE for. They're just too cute!

Thank you so much for the feedback, honestly! I really appreciate it! I was wavering on the "hehehe" thing too, and I've been wondering whether or not certain parts needed more description. I was just about to hit unpublished for a re-edit and add a bit more, and then I saw it had been approved! Anyways, thank you for the tips!

Do you not enjoy history?

Do you like the song "Raining Men?"

Haha. No problem at all! You seem like a talented poet. I'm glad to have you as my first friend, too! Hahaha.

Well, I haven't seen too many gay or gay- related movies, but the other day, Philadelphia (with Tom Hanks) was on. It was a really sad movie, I must say. It had me crying at the end! I'm glad I stumbled across it on TV.

Aww, thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Haha. Not returning texts is one of my biggest pet peeves, too! That, and many other parts of the background to the story, come from a few of my personal experiences. So, unfortunately, I've had to deal with someone doing the same thing Tanis was doing to me! It can get pretty annoying! Anyways, thanks again, and the new chapter should be up soon! After that, chapters 3 and 4 should come out some time next week or so.

You know, he was cute when he smiled. When he smiled, his whole face just lit up; it almost reminded me of a little kid getting something that they really wanted under the tree on Christmas morning. He just glowed so completely, and his dimples enhanced that whole aura tenfold. He was cute when he blinked, too. I was absolutely fascinated with his eyes, and I just couldn't help getting lost in those gorgeous brown tones. He had such a playful twinkle in those eyes all the time, and it just
