I really enjoyed this story, disappointed to find there's no sequel. I wasn't sure about the paranormal elements at first, but in the greater context of the story they grew on me.
Like others I was almost foaming at the mouth due to the lack of a proper conclusion. I've settled it in my head by telling myself that The and Jeremy have decided to wait until they're older to begin their relationship. Jeremy clearly still has issues with his past relationships, and The needs to come to terms with the loss of both his parents, his friends from California, and the fact that he has some level of indirect responsibility for the "deaths" of several people.
Right, I'm off to read your other stories :-)
