Just Praying to a God That I Don't Believe In - Comments

Sage's mom got married!!! I'm so happy for her. Poor Sage, getting so nervous. He's lucky he's always got Ben there to help him out. I love that about Ben. He can always talk Sage through something like that. I really like that Sage got to walk his mom down the isle. I think that was the perfect role for him in the wedding. It's nice that Ben and Mason are on good terms now. I'm really glad that Sage's mom found someone like James. What is snaps? I've never heard of that game. Sage and Nick had quite the advantage being the only ones that knew the game, lol. Haha, Ben's getting hit on by older women! I real like that they have a plan when it comes to college. I'm so happy that soccer is going so well for Sage. Sage is still too modest. It's a good thing he had Ben there to tell his aunt about the soccer camp he was invited to. I think my heart melted when Ben said all that stuff at the end there. They're going to make an amazing family one day. God, I'm really going to miss getting updates for this story. It's been so incredible to see this story unfold. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! <3

I really loved it, it ended perfectly

Chapter 90:
I love how incoherent Ben was when he got a good look at Sage. I really like that Ben didn't dress in anything special that he just looks like himself. Like Sage I like it when he just dresses casually. Those two can find a way to make just about anything special. Keeping it simple(breakfast in bed) was definitely the way to go. I agree, Sage should keep that shirt for himself and if not definitely buy some like it. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending the rest of my night watch live lava live now. Your hard work definitely payed off. The sex really did sound just the way it should be for these two. I really liked the bit where they weren't touching and to initiate contact Sage just intertwined their fingers. It was just right for the moment and very them. I always like to think of the Beatles song I Want to Hold Your Hand. I like that way it ended. It felt like drifting off into a peaceful sleep after a long and eventful day. It just felt settled and content. I'm glad I got to catch up with this before the epilogue. I'm glad I read this when I did, I'm just sorry you had to wait so long for these comments. I really needed this after yesterday. I don't know how else to explain it other than to say that I just needed these two. This really is an amazing story. <3

Chapter 89:
I figured he would go to Mason for help with the night's outfit. I have to completely agree with Mason on the topic of Sage saying "hot". It's just not something I would ever expect Sage to say. I was also surprised that he just came out and admitted that tonight is 'the night'. I though Sage was too shy to just say it, but he has already discussed that topic with Mason so it's not so odd. Mason will figure it out some day that when your with the right person you don't always have to say things for them to be understood. I love that Mason convinced him to wear eyeliner. I had to laugh at Mason's insistence that Sage put his shoes to get the full effect. Why am I not surprised that Mason has used Nancy's full length mirror several times? Apparently I know these characters fairly well. Then again I have read through more than half this story twice. I hope things go well with Mason and his mom too. The outfit would not be complete without the elephant necklace, and Mason definitely knows his stuff. I'm glad his mom isn't there too but it would have been funny to see her freaking out. It's a good thing too that James isn't his mom. I nearly died laughing when Mason said his goodbye without realizing James was there. Random fact that I thought I'd share, I am a day older than Ash Stymest. Okay, now I'm going back to the story to find out what the next part holds. <3

Chapter 88:
Ooo chemistry, fun! Sadly enough I'm not joking, I really did enjoy high school chemistry. Though it probably didn't hurt to have the school's best/funnest chem teacher. I'm not surprised that he's scared of needles when we have to get shots all the time when were younger. Hm, this is the second time Ben has brought up tattoos. It seems he may have a few ideas in mind. Wonder what they are. Parents just have a talent for walking in at embarrassing moments. I would do just the same and cover my face with a book. Name tattoos are lame. They're too simple and don't always have that much meaning. I would definitely be giving Ben a wtf look for the prairie dog comment. Oh? A weekend alone? I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's a bit of foreshadowing. Well I shall find out momentarily. <3

Chapter 87:
Silly Nancy. She would know right away if Sage wasn't okay because Ben would be freaking out and on the verge of having a panic attach. It's definitely too early for her to be worrying about college, but it's a parent's job to worry about their kids. Dorm mattresses do indeed suck. I agree those bookshelves are just wow. They are very cool but they would never work for me. It would bug me too much not having my books all lined up in order. Sage has got himself some really good friends that will last him a life time. Ben really out did himself with that sunset. Then again he would never even consider giving even the slightest bit less than 100% for Sage, and Sage would do the same. <3

Chapter 86:
Sage must have had a very different experience with trains that what I've had. All the trains rides I've been on have been decent trips, and their a lot simpler than dealing with an airport. I'm surprised a city station doesn't have a convenience store or at least a news stand. I'm not much of a city person either. There are some really strange people in that station. I would be totally creeped out too. I definitely do not blame Sage for not wanting to take a train again. I understand the need for caution but Ben was sounding a little over protective. Then again there are some shifty characters there so you never know. Bernice? Where the heck did that name come from? It got me laughing though so it works. Are you sure Benny and Matt aren't Ben and Sage form an alternate universe? If not then they definitely stepped out of the twilight zone. It certainly made for an interesting end to Sage's trip. The stress of thinking about the future and being away from Sage has definitely gotten to Ben. I think he needs a mini vacation alone with Sage. <3

Chapter 85:
What they're doing to Sages room almost sounds just like what I had wanted to do with my room. I kind of have to have my own book shelf since I have so many books and I even had and image all drawn up of what I wanted to pain on my wall. Unfortunately I never got around to it and the wall I was planing to pain has since been taken over by my book shelf. I'm like Ben, I don't wouldn't be able to ever fully trust Mason after the things he had done. Sage really is unique in his ability to forgive and see the good in people. It must be nice be so comfortable with Kira that it doesn't feel like they're intruding on the others silence. I wish I had that with my sister, it would make sharing a room with her a lot easier. I sort of have that with my brother so it balances out. I know how Ben's feeling. It feels like you're supposed to have everything figured out. Like every one is expecting an answer when they ask where you're going to college or what you're planing on majoring in. The reality is that know one ever really does know for certain where they're headed. But it doesn't matter how many times people say it's okay not to know what your plans are because people still ask "Where are you going?" I've been stuck in that frustrating rut too for a couple of years now and I still haven't the slightest idea of which direction my path is taking me. But Ben's got some really good people there to help him read the map. He'll find his way. <3

Chapter 84:
Now how did Ben and Mason get a hold of Nick? He and Ben must have exchanged numbers at Christmas. Getting Nick in on the plan was a good call seeing as he and Sage are so close. I must unfortunately admit that I have not read any of John Greens books. I've heard some good reviews for his work too. I still haven't gotten my hands on The Vast Fields of Ordinary yet either. I had to laugh at Nick basically making Sages plans for the weekend for him and hanging up before he could argue further. Sage has no need to worry about Mason, he'll be plenty busy. <3

Chapter 83- Room make overs are fun. I like seeing Mason and Ben working together to do something for Sage. Ben is definitely the one to ask for help with this project. 1) He knows Sage so well and 2) he is the artistic brain of the group. Wonder how there going to end up Keeping Sage out of the house for the weekend. Guess I'll find out in a minuet. Sorry it's such a short comment but it is a short chapter. <3

Okay, so it seem that the last chapter I commented what ch. 81 so I shall start with 82

Chapter 82:
I'm glad Ben convinced Mason to talk with Sage's mom and that he has somewhere safe to stay until his dad is gone. I love how willing Ben is to put his own feelings aside for Sage when he knows it's the right thing to do. There aren't as many people capable of doing that as there should be. Wow. What happened to Mason really matured him. I love that Mason started rambling and had to ask Kelly to clarify what he was trying to say about Ben. It really odd seeing them all talking so rationally about this. Plus I just never would have guessed that Mason would end up being a part of that conversation. That's all so just their personalities, they like to really think the important things out. I agree with Sage that what happened to Mason was a reality check. Candid pictures are definitely the best. Plus my brother can never give a proper smile for the camera so it always takes forever to get our Christmas cards done. My room only has a bit more decoration than Sages. I still haven't painted it either and I've had this room for a few years. Anyway, it was really nice to see such a good change in Mason. He's turned out all right.

Well there is the first of my horribly over due comments. The rest are on there way. <3

Noooo! It can't be over, at least not after that!
I want to read moooore, especially now that they have a sex life and they're even closer
Making it to 90 chapters is really impressive, I have to say.
Since you're writing an epilogue... You could stretch it to 100 chapters ;)
Hahah, no not really.

But anyway, I loved this story, and I hope you write more like it <3
