    holy shit. I'm in tears.. I'm bawling. Never have I had a story get to me quite like this one. Everything about it is immaculate. From the plot, to the ending, to the details, to the character development it's all great. Heart wrenching and a complete emotional roller coaster.. but great none the less. This is truly one of the greatest things I've ever read, and I guarantee that it will stick with me for a long, long, long time (: <3

    I highly doubt that you'd read this since it's been two years but this broke my heart.

    I don't care if this story is completed.
    YOUR FUCKING KILLING ME.

    I couldn't reading some of the last few chapters they were so sad. :(

    I'm not saying its a bad story, in fact, its a wonderful story, with a wonderful plot. And you obviously have a talent for writing.
    You're also very good at making people cry... just sayin'. :D

    chapter 32
    "In most cases, between sixty and eighty percent of patients were able to be cured if the cancer had not spread beyond the tumor. Unfortunately, Miss Kaston, you are not most cases."
    HAVE MERCY!!!!!! you killed me!!

    the irony? today my mom told me that my cousin's husband has cancer into his mouth;/

    "“That wasn’t just a check up, was it?” he questioned softly, his voice barely audible above the wind that was picking up."
    I can feel the tears coming up.
    my tears!

    :(:(:(:(

    chapter 33
    "“And I want you to know I’ll always love you, too. No matter what. No matter where you are, or what you’re going through, or if you want to love someone else. I’ll keep loving you. Always."

    *sight blurring*

    chapter 34
    "Addie was distancing herself from Oliver."
    she was doing what she thought it was right. in order to make him hurt less when she leaves.

    ..it's funny when I write my comment and then move on to the next paragraph and see that the story goes exactly like what I wrote:p;p
    like now: "She was trying to make it less painful for when she left him."

    "There was nothing he could do, and the minutes were just ticking away at this point."
    he should grab her by her shoulders and shake her! snap her into reality; that he loved her and she should fight this for the sake of both of them.

    oh.my.god.!!
    my fave chapter so far!!!!
    I just love drama!!;p

    chapter 35
    "“I don’t want you to go, Addie, I don’t want you to go! I want you to stay, to be here with me for the rest of my life because we both know I’m not going to be able to make it if you leave me. For the second time!”"
    and I cried :(:(

    i adore this story!

    chapter 27
    "“Addie, if we weren’t meant to be together, then why were we brought together?”"
    the man has a point!

    chapter 28
    having missing someone and still need to go to work..and being watched al the same...is the worse...I've been there and it sucked!

    good thing she went to the Doc!

    chapter 29
    "Something inside her had been wrong though for the past few weeks."
    whaaaaaaaat?? whyyyyyyyyy?????

    "She slept on the couch that night. "
    :(:(:((((((((((

    By that point I would only assume that my br doesn't want me anymore

    chapter 30
    I love love love the drama!

    and I liked that they finally hugged and made love like two people who love each other and reunited after a while

    chapter 31
    “I’m afraid to say that your mother was in a car accident, and is now being held in our ICU at the Legacy Hospital,”
    WHAAAAAAAAAt???????

    I was waiting to read that something bad is going on with her knee and this happens?? oh myyy

    ...I have to study woman! am off!!:p

    chapter 23
    I knew she was planning on asking him what he'd thought if she moved back! It was only making sense for her to take that decision!

    chapter 24
    Oliver first reaction was weird...if it was me..I would have thought that my bf doesn't want me there..okay it's a big decision..but still...

    am glad that she asked his opinion before that "speach"...cuz if she had told him all that before...am sure Oliver would have waited for her to break up with him.

    his silence was torture!!!
    but then... "“Would, would you want to move in… with me?”
    YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
    ;p

    I think she should have told her mother...and certainy not do so right before she left. Maybe her mom would have wanted to spend some time with her.

    "Oliver was trying to scoop her up, with no success. He had no idea what to do, but the only thing he did know was that he had to get Addie out of there fast."

    Big mistake.Biiiig mistake!! At first I thought it was a bit too over dramatic [and I love love drama] but then I remembered that she didn't have an original reaction to the events of that day..she never had the time to...so I guess being back there triggered her feelings.

    chapter 25

    "This pain was just the beginning of another adventure, and she wasn’t even aware it was happening."
    whaaaaat???? :S:S:S

    Once again, I have to note that your writing is overwhelming. Your ability to put the mental images into our heads is amazing. I also love they way you can connect the events.

    chapter 26
    something's wrong with her knee ;/
    am worrieeedd

    chapter 18

    they were in the airport and I was thinking the whole time "say something,say something"!!;p

    "Home is where the heart is"
    I've noticed that when in half-awake-half-asleep state you realise the truth; the one you deny when in full consciousness

    chapter 19
    am in a weird mood today so I can't help but think one thing...he wants more than being friends...that won't narrow down the ocean that separetes them!

    HE'S VISITIIIIIIIIIIINGGGG:DDDD

    Jack Skellington is hereeeee:D

    okay that's it...am off to study! You're going to ruin me:p;p

    [i"Were this one girl though, my old best mate from way back when. She-she moved, I think. Never told me why, ‘cause she never said goodbye. But, the neighbors were talkin’ about why ‘er family left. Said her dad got shot by her brother."

    chapter 14

    At first, I thought she should have recognized his voice once they got outside..but then I thought of an old childhood friend I had when I was at her age...I would probably recognized him by his face...and only because he haven't changed much within the years..and I've seen him once or twice around...so makes it even more realistic for me

    chapter 15
    but am curious...shouldn't his last name ring a bell?? oh I'll shut up:p

    "scare the living daylights out of him"
    I love that phrase:p

    "Well, only one of them was aware that they would never see the other again. "

    ohh you got me confused and am gonna have to read chapter 16 tonight as well!:p

    chapter 16

    "What happens once he figures her out, though? "
    and that is the question!

    have I mentioned that I love this story?:p

    chapter 11
    it only sounds reasonable for them to move away...after all that...a fresh start is needed!!

    chapter 12
    oooooooooooohhhhhhh I see the plan!! she's getting oldeeeeeeeeer!!!

    I LOVE THIS STORYYYYYYY!!! and you too!!! I love how it wasn't rushed at all!!!
    :D

    I'm glad she finally got friends...it feels so lonely without friendship

    Chapter 13
    and we've reach 22!! yyyyyyyyyeaaaaaapp!! :p;p

    I liked how smoothly you took us from 12 y/o to 22...your writing is marvellous!

    "..Deandra forced everyone to listen to when they rode in her car..."

    the driver decides about the music! and noone else touches the stereo!! :p;p

    “I swear, I have no idea how a human is capable of making the noises that that guy makes.”

    indeed..first time I've heard of them I felt my own throat aching;s

    am so in love with this story...and here I was telling you am gonna take it slow:p

    chapter 10
    oh.my.god!!!!

    I can't even...he just killed himself! Did he kill their dad? it wasn't clear at the time it happened. I only reaslised when she was trying to comprehend...

    but still...oh.my.god!! I know love this story even more...just because its more realistic that way...it's not all happy ending where her parents will decrease their hours at work to be home or her brother will sober up..

    chapter 5
    THEY SPOKE TO EACH OTHER!!! FCK YEEEEEEAH!!!!
    hahah:p

    chapter 6
    ok..not only the spoke but they arguing...actually she's arguing...he's just being nice!

    but okay..I think her reaaction is excusable...he saw personal stuff she felt threaned..

    “I’m havin’ a bit of trouble with this lass next to me,”
    loolll I would have killed him!!! :p

    chapter 7
    he's acting like a bully...

    chapter 8
    okay..I have to be honest...my interest droped a bit when I read she's only 13!!! That is just too youuuuung!!!

    but okay..am curious enough to read the rest of it because I like your writing!

    ok..now that am aware of their age...alllll this make sense:p but still I think it would better if they actually were 4 years older..
    ...but as I said...am still reading!:p

    Love the plot so far:)

    I hate you. In a good way.
    That story is by far the best one i've ever read on here, or anywhere for that matter.
    It freaking made me cry! But it was sooooo good.
    I loved it. I'm excited to read the sequel.
    Thanks for writing such a good story. I was seriously addicted; read the whole thing in a day.
    :)

    this is one of the best, yet saddest stories i have ever read. every sad part, my throat closed up and my eyes watered. the last few chapters made me feel like i was there, like i was hollow. you are an amazing writer, and i can honestly say no other story has made me feel as emotional as this one. it was an amazing story, and i can't wait for the sequel :)
