    I love a classic arranged marriage story, you can never go wrong. The description made me giggle, emo geeky loser, that was just out-right hilarious, though upon reading the description I wasn't sure if you were going to make this into an LOL story of if this was serious :)

    An emo geek loser, aye?? And she falls in love with her next door neighbor? Sorta reminds me of spiderman cuz he and MJ were neighbors and he fell in love with her. I find it hard to imagine falling in love with my neighbors. Lol.

    Arranged marriage?! That sucks!

    Gray eyes?! I LOVE gray eyes! They are so unique!

    Well, I’ve never been in a “emo’s” shoes before… but this.. well, its walking in new shoes. I didn’t know those people could be so…. Emotional. Lol. I was watching “Fat Boy Chronicles” a couple weeks ago and something you wrote on here reminds me of that. About dying, but not because of your health, but dying on the inside. The girl in the movie self-harmed.

    I don’t know if it was just how I am or mostly how I was raised—but I don’t do the emo, sex, drugs, drinking, smoking, homosexual thing. I am just… plain? Maybe that’s why I like stories that are unreal because I’m so plain and writing is my way of coloring a masterpiece.

    It’s really sad that Delilah has to get married to a man she doesn’t love. Though, she doesn’t have to “die” she can be happy. She would just have to take down the wall of unhappiness and try to see something good in the bad. It’s not like the movie “The Princess Bride” (loved that movie as a kid, btw) where the woman loved this man so much that no one else would do. That’s like a strictly romantic movie. Or, maybe that’s what you were shooting for just more modern I guess.

    I get your black cat reference and I liked that you titled the story after it. Nice work.

    I was directed here from Mibba comment swap, if you’d like you can read my story “No Ordinary Life”. It’s a sc-fi.

    I read the summary and I was all yes an arranged marriage story! haha I have to be honest though Delilah's mood swings are driving me insane. When I started reading it though I thought it'd be another cliche but its actually really really good, you have no idea how well you are doing dear! <3 Keep up the good work and you're on the right path haha :)

    I've only read the first chapter so far, but I'm really liking what I've read and I haven't a lot of time on my hands. I'm going to subscribe and read the rest later. I'll comment again then.

    Initially, I wasn't sure whether I'd like it or not, just because of the amount of cliches involved, but you seem not to be heading down the predictable path. I like the idea for your story and haven't read anything like it in a while.

    When I read your summary I was like 'Yay! Arranged marriage story!' I'm starting to get over the entire vampire thing, but I like the idea for your story. I felt bad for Derek, he seemed to love Delilah. Then when I read the second chapter I was like oh, Derek is crazy and my feelings for him are forever changed. Jack seems really sweet, but he also seems really arrogant. I don't really like Delilah's mood swings. She seems to be in love, but then she becomes a jerk, she also seems very ditsy, though I like that she can stick up for herself. Jack and Delilah are adorable together! The vampires seem clueless when she is hiding and snooping on them, I think that would be kind of odd for vampire behavior. I like the idea of 'better' vampires. Though it doesn't really explain much, just yet. I think that Jack and Delilah are cute together! They definitely bring out the good in each other.

    I know my comment seems a little random, but those are thoughts that were in my head as I read each chapter. I also liked the story and plan to keep reading it! You are a very talented writer! Your wording is amazing! I was a little confused at first, because I didn't know what the main girl's name was, but as I read on I figured it out. You should keep up the good work! It is awesome!

    I just started reading, I'm not even done with the first chapter and I love it! I like your writing style, it's very unique. I haven't had a chance to read many stories in this style. I enjoy it. Subscribing and reccomending after I finish reading!

    This is an interesting idea. Although, to be honest, it is not my favorite. I do like your wording and descriptions! The beginning was interesting. I enjoyed the conversation, and the emotions that came from it. This story is very promising! I don't know if you're still working on this one, but I do encourage you to keep writing! You have a lot of potential!
