This sounds so wonderful. I would have cried, but I saw Remember Me today and it was the most depressing movie I have ever seen, so all my tears went to that. But I felt her emotions. I love the way you've written Derek's character.
And I LOVE the story line. I'm really excited and hope you conitinue this. :)
I almost started crying at that. This is amazing so far and I already love it and it's only the prologue. That has nothing to do with Derek being my favorite person in the world. no. ;D I can't wait for more. <3
I love that you've started a Derek story because, like you said, it's so hard to fing them. The writing was wonderful and I'm really excited to see the story progress. One suggestion though: Your capitalization of 'mother', 'father', and 'brother' are wrong. They should only be capitalized when they're used in place of the person's name. When they follow a possesive noun like my, your, his, her, etc., like in the first couple paragraphs of your prologue, they shouldn't be capitalized.
oh wow, I was not expecting a fan-fiction at all, little less one about Derek Sanders. (Yay for hometown band pride!) I don't even know what to say about this opening chapter except for its so beautifully written that i almost started crying. I love your other stuff, so why should it change about this story? c:
wow. very moving beginning. i love how you could feel how uneasy everything was when she approached him and how broken he was. i'm excited for this. it's going to be good, i can tell.
