I hate you.
This may seem a bit rash, but, considering my week, I think I have the right to say this. But hear me out.
Oh my God. So at first, I was hesitant with this story; starting with the first installment, I originally started reading it because I had the feeling it was an Alex fan fic. Even though it obviously was, I'd say the first... 15 or so chapters of the first installment had me confused on that. Because him and Chloe didn't initially have something, you know? You had Eric put in and that really frustrated me, by the way. I was like, what the hell is this? Why in the hell am I reading this if it's just pretty much saying that the only ATL connection was a mistaken hook-up and her brother being in said band?
But then, you had them get together, and that's when I finally realized that ohhhhh... this is indeed an Alex one. And so I kept reading.
Before I dwell into more of a review, let me just say that this story has put me through hell. Literally. Not only because of all the shit you had happened, the different twists and all the drama and what not, but literally... I am in fucking college. I started reading this Monday and finished at 6 AM last night. The night before, 7 AM. The last two nights I have gotten a combined total of 9 hours of sleep because of this damn story, while also trying to deal with school. I know that is for the most part my fault, seeing as hey, I guess I could've stopped and left it for another day, BUT GODDAMN IT. That would have actually been impossible. I would not have been able to sleep. This is how much your story has affected me.
When I wasn't reading it, I was spending that time WANTING to read it. It has been the only thing on my mind, all this week. And I fucking hate it. When stories do that to me I know they're fucking amazing. So let me just note that.
Now, getting onto the review.... ajiodasfjiwgfhorwgoregns,vjlsfejafdsfjkdaslgjksgkrw....
I fucking can't right now. That is what's up with that line. ^
I fucking love Alex and Chloe together. OMG. With the first installment, I could feel their love and when it all fell apart it upset me. When she was with Paul, I was going fucking insane. Literally, like more so than when I was frustrated that she with Eric. And I hated how things ended between the two of them because Paul seemed pissed at her for no reason; he knew what he was getting into when he started dating her. UGHHHH, like he was pissed that she still loved Alex, when hello, he's the one who moved in on her when she was still trying to get over him! That part made absolutely no sense to me.
But I am not talking about Paul any longer because I'll be blunt and say I did not fucking ship them. Yeah. XD
And then there was Logan. While Logan wasn't as annoying I still found it frustrating that he kind of put even more space between Chloe and Alex. But now that I'm looking back, I can honestly say I respect his character. He helped guide her and in all honesty, if it wasn't for him, she may not have even gotten back together with Alex in the first place.
GOD, now onto Alex and Chloe.... asjnajfsogfonsrlgsrlg...
I fucking adore them.
You are such an amazing writer, especially when it comes to the cutesy stuff. I can see why this story had so many readers now. I'm kind of sad I wasn't here when it was actually being written. But on my part, that's a good thing, because I didn't have to wait for an update. :P It would have fucking killed me probably if I was around when you were writing this.
You can just tell that he loved her so much and vice versa... the only thing that didn't make sense to me was why he cheated in the first place? I take it the reasoning was supposed to be assumed, like I'm thinking it was either just a mistake or he was just nervous about how deep he and Chloe were getting into their relationship at that point... but I found it weird that they never even talked about it. I was kind of expecting Chloe to ask why it even happened in the first place.
But other than that, I had no problems with the way things ended up. Because they ended up together and YAYYYY, that's what I wanted. XD
The only other things to note is that there were a few grammatical errors throughout the chapters, but I guess that's to be expected with older stories. And then the beginning of the first installment seemed to be a little TOO drawn out in my opinion, with that Eric dude and all. But I guess I don't really like the beginnings of stories in general anyhow. Aha. I like when it gets to the interesting parts, as presumably everyone else does. ;)
And then the parts when she wasn't with Alex seemed to be drawn out to me too, but then again, I guess that isn't technically fair to say since it was just because I wanted them to get together. lol.
But I stuck around, seeing how popular it was from comments and subscribers, so I figured it was probably amazing. And I was right. :)
Ugh, so like I said, I fucking hate you. Not seriously, but yeah. XD Excuse my bluntness but I blame my new obsession with ATL for that. I'm not even going to get started on how they have changed me, OMG. XD
This was really fucking AMAZING and I seriously... I'm so sad that it's over. I've got that Goddamn nostalgic feeling I get after reading a really good story. Dammit. This is all your fault. XD
Seriously amazing. Great job deary. I hope this review suffices for not being able to comment throughout the story when it was being posted... it's pretty hella long. :P
I was going to type this when I finished it at 6 but I figured I'd wait until I got some sleep. XD I wanted to make sure I at least sounded somewhat sane when typing this. XD If I had done it then, my God, the mess of a comment you would've gotten.
Anywho, keep writing. I see you've started posting again and I may very well check out that story too. Just because of my love for Alex Gaskarth. :)
But I'm still hesitant because I know I'll actually have to wait for updates this time around. XD WAHHHH...
Also, on a totally unrelated note, I found it funny you were in college while writing this. Because that's actually where I am right now and I can totally relate to that hectic-ness. lol. So perhaps it's good I waited; had i started this when you did post it, I would've been in 8th/9th grade. :o

But anyway, I'm commenting AGAIN because I forgot to mention something. For some reason, my theme song for this was 'Breathe' by Michelle Branch. How I made the connection, not really sure, but it's amazing song and I guess it kind of relates to what they went through. It's a bit of a love song while also, not to sound redundant by stating the title again, saying that you should take a moment and just collect yourself. I fucking love it and it calmed me down when things weren't going the way I wanted them to in the stories. lol. Call me lame but whatevs.
Now that that thought's out of the way, I'll stop leaving comments now. Aha. Once again, amazing story. <3
