God DAMMIT this is such a good story. And I'm getting ready to start my freshman year in college, and even though it'll be nothing like this, this story still makes me excited for it xD <3 Manda
I'm only saying this because tears are rolling freely down my cheeks and my friend thinks there's something really wrong because I can't stop crying. So...I hate you.
Now, onto my actual comment.
I'm not sure exactly how far into Virgin. you were when I began reading, but I became addicted within a snap. The way you wrote seemed to draw me in and I fell in love with the characters, no matter how different they were. I think I cried at the end of that, too. In fact...I've cried a lot because of you. Uh, I hate you.
I've been here to watch this story grow, drama unfold, hearts be broken and mended, and believe me when I say that you aren't the only one completely proud and simultaneously heartbroken over the final chapter. I'm extremely proud of you for your dedication to this story and us, your readers. You're a fantastic writer and a lovely person.
Honestly, I didn't think he would choose Ryan until 37. I somehow knew, and it's kind of great and sad at the same time. I was Team Shane, for the most part, but it is a Ryden -- and we all know how wonderful they are together.
I love you. I love this story. Thank you for giving me an emotional ride. <3
Um so I've decided that I'm not reading the sequel to this glorious story. I love Brendon and Ryan and they belong together and I loved this story. Completely and with my whole heart.
This chapter made me cry so much. I felt so bad for Shane, but I hope his life can go on and he can be happy again. And then by the end I was smiling because Brendon made the right decision. He can be great with Ryan, but maybe not now. If he jumps into it now then he could end up in the same position he was a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't the ending I was expecting, but it was still great.
Then I started crying again as I read the A/N. I feel quite proud to have read this amazing story, even if I wasn't here from the very start. You are so talented and it's great how dedicated you were to getting this finished, no matter how long it took.
Now I am away to subscribe to the sequel that I'm sure will be just as amazing as Virgin and Freshman.
I'd just like to thank you for you're amazing writing and stories <3
It's 4 am here. I was just about to shut everything down when I saw this was updated. *sigh* It is finally over. Ugh. I think the ending is perfect. A smart decision for Brendon to make. Hard but smart. There was no doubt that Brendon was going to end up with Ryan, but I still can't help feel bad for Shane.
Anyway I really liked this story. I loved how it was written. Kind of looking forward to the sequel. You know, if you do do it, and post it up.
I like how I was probably the only one who was Team Shane. But I was pretty sure they wouldn't end up together. This had a good ending, and I'm super sad it's over. This was seriously like on of my favorite stories on Mibba. :) But I'm about to go subscribe to the sequel now.
Can I just say I like how Next To Normal is on the playlist?
Anyway, I was really terrified to read this chapter, mainly because it was the ending and I didn't want it to end, as well as what happens. Once I pulled myself together, I found myself emotional and surprised with it, but loved it nonetheless. I already subscribed to the sequel, and I know it's going to be great.
Freshman was an amazing story, and you're an amazing author. This will always be one of my favorite no matter what. Hope you have a great time in New York, love.

I kinda hope he chooses Ry but it's his choice. He better choose Ry. Hahaha. He's meant to be with Ry. Not Shane. Great update and I'm sad that it's almost over. Like it's so close to being over. It's sad.
THIS CHAPTER MADE ME WEEEPP I just need him to pick Ryan, he has to he has to. and the secret better be ANOTHER SEQUEL. bc while another ryden story would be glorious i just cant let THIS version of brendon and ryan and everyone else go )':
I can't believe this is ending so soon! This has been going on for such a long time, wow. Anyhow you're lovely and stuff and I'm sure you'll find the perfect way to end this. Patiently awaiting it!
Aww. It sucks that Brendon has to choose between Shane and Ryan. :| And it sucks that this has to come to an end. But I'm sure the ending's going to be awesome. :}
I'm eagerly awaiting the ending of this story because I have all the faith in the world that you love Brendon/Ryan as much as I do, and recognize that if Brendon were to end up with Shane, the world would not be right. Brendon lied, cheated, betrayed Shane all for Ryan, and he wouldn't have done that if he truly was just his friend. :D Eagerly awaiting a Brendon/Ryan happy ending.
I'm so sad this is actually ending! I've loved it so much, I'll miss it when it's gone.
But I can't wait to see who he chooses. I hope it's Ryan, but I really don't want him to hurt Shane too much. Because as much as Ryan and Brendon belong together, Shane was practically perfect.
