Thank you, I'm glad you're liking it even if it is hard to look at. More soon. Thanks for reading!!

It was easy enough to find Ashley at school. Convincing her to bring me to see Austin was an entirely different story altogether. It was a good thing it wasn’t her I was trying to make friends with. I definitely wasn’t winning any points with her. “Wait, you actually walked up and said ‘take me home with you’? Just like that?” Austin found the entire situation funnier than it really was. He was giggling like a little girl, tucked in his bed underneath a Toy Story bed set that I would have bur

Thank you!! Yes, I think Austin is going to be one of my favorites, but I can't be sure until I've gotten to spend some time with the others that are coming. *shrug* The Brooke poem is one of my favorites, and it stays stuck in my head while writing this so I had to find some place to use it. Anyway, I'm thrilled you're enjoying this, and that it's something you can get caught up in. I certainly spend enough time lost in it. More in a minute. Hope you enjoy.

Well, I'm glad that you do!! The next bit will be up shortly. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading.

I know, I'm fully shocked that anyone is still sticking with this. It's wickedly hard not to rush this, rush Conner to be exactly where I want him, and I worry it might be dragging but... *sigh* We'll see. It doesn't look too far off from where I sit, but it never has.

Lol, actually none. I haven't cried yet. It's odd because I couldn't see for all the tears in my eyes when I wrote Forgetting to Forget, but this is different. Idk. In any case, I'm thrilled you're reading. Thanks muchly for taking the time.

The next bit is going up right now. Sorry about the wait, but thanks so much for sticking with this. Thrilled you're enjoying it.

Assumptions annoy me far more than anything else, so I prefer people ask me their questions if they're geniunely curious and not just trying to be obnoxious. I'd hate to have someone annoyed with me for asking a question I genuinely wanted the answer to. There are a few that have gotten to me, though. The latest 'thing' that had me cringing, and totally confused was "So wait, you've never had REAL sex?" How is it not real sex just because it wasn't had with the opposite gender??? 0.o OH! Or, in reference to a good friend of mine 'He doesn't count, he's not a REAL guy...' and seriously, wtf??? They need to ask questions if these are the conclusions they draw all on their own. Ignorance is definitely not bliss.

Yeah, I think he might read as such a weak character, but I'm honestly surprised the kid is still standing. I'm going to end up attached to this one, I can feel it. Glad you're still enjoying it. More every sunday. )

Lol, I'll keep my fingers crossed as well. I feel as though I have to be ever so careful writing Conner. He's so fragile, and every time I get in front of the keyboard to write this, I'm hoping he gets better. 0.o I sometimes feel as though I have nothing to do with writing these stories at all. Glad you enjoyed!

My best friend’s name was Tyler. Back when I had a best friend, I mean. He was the kid I was closest to aside from Justin, and I’d known him for even longer. I hadn’t spoken to him in three months. He’d tried so hard to be there. He even used to come with me to visit Justin, but he’d gotten tired of it—of me. I really couldn’t blame him. Whenever he came with me to the hospital, I just wanted him gone so I could be alone with Justin. Whenever he came to visit me at my house, I did my best

Justin’s new roommate was a boy that I recognized. I’d had classes with him the year before, gym and something else. Aaron or something like that. He was asleep when I got there, but I immediately wanted out of the room. I didn’t want to be there when he woke up. And I didn’t want to have to talk to her. Ashley was there along with an older woman that I assumed was her mother. She was small too, and just as pretty as Ashley was. Ashley made me…uncomfortable. The way she looked at me mad

Uhm...I can't tell if I should apologize or thank you. How about both?

I'm blushing again and back to thinking that I sound way more awesome here in black and white than I actually am, Lol. But you're right about the ups, downs, tension, and question, and I've got my fingers crossed about the rest. Thanks so much for reading! Hope the rest lives up to expectations.

Yes and yes. Not much but I started six months in so you all wouldn't have to sit through a couple hundred pages of depression. I did want reading it to be a little bit uncomfortable and I always strive for realism so...I'm gonna take it as a compliment. More soon! Thanks for reading and for the review, I'm glad you're liking it thus far.
