Awww that story that Garrett told her to make her not as nervous was brilliant. And the "fight" between pat and him was hillarious!!!!! I hope this gets like 15 comments I want more updates
And by the way, I saw The Maine June 3rd too!! I drove up there early so I could be one of the first thirty people in line, what a coincidence. It was so awesome meeting them all. Lol.
I LOVED the new chapter! You do such a good job making me feel like I'm actually there and I love that I can understand Izzy's feeling perfectly and yeah I'm horrible at leaving comments, but I just wanted to let you know that this story is fabulous so far and I can't wait to read more!
This was a very cute chapter! :) I think Pat's actually older than Garrett though. I'm not sure..... But anyways, like I said, this was a very, very cute chapter and I was smiling and giggling all throughout. :D
Yay for the update! I was so excited. I'd been wondering when you might post something more and almost asked you, but with all your exams, I didn't want to get in your way. [Though the worst is finally over, right??? ;)] So, I'm very glad you found the time to update thiss, haha....
Oh my gosh. Last semester, it was like that almost every day. I had such issues every morning, plus I had the prettiest roommates. I hate when things look crappy. That, and if I wear a skirt, then I'm seriously dressing up, whereas for Izzy, that's casual. Wish I could pull that off- Izzy has such a feminine style to her, I admire that, because it's almost frowned upon these days...
I loved the Emmy and Izzy piece hanging out, healthy relationships on the go! It's definitely neat, and I like how they're finding it possible to talk to each other and everything. Totally important. Ummm Ugh so much in this chapter.
I seriously just can't wait for the next one. I'll just be squealing through their date, I presume? I expect it! Hahaha...
But yeah, annnyyyways. OH MY GOSH. The story. So glad for the details! It totally explained everything, seriously. IT WAS TYSON'S FRIEND WASN'T IT?? IT WAAASSSS- So terribly sorry I can't remember the name, but yeah. It was. It was. And then and then she'll see Tyson and they'll talk and fall in love and and and just like alksjdfkajdksdjfds no words it will happen it better happen won't it? Pleasee??? Haha. But seriously, Katie. Something beautiful is expected to come from such misery and sadness.
In all, another wonderfully written chapter! I love the puzzle pieces you give in every chapter, it's like an adventure but you can't really see everything until you have every last piece, you know? It's so amazing!! :)
I've only read the preface, but I must say that I love this already! I know this story is going to blow my mind. Mainly because I adore the way your write. It's very enticing and descriptive. That, and because I absolutely love Garrett Nickelsen. :)
Okay okay. The first part was adorable. I love your introductions to every chapter- if we forget what happened in the last, you tell us just enough to remember. It keeps the story up to date really well, and flows perfectly. Izzy all nervous with butterflies was just adorable. She's trying to tell herself it's just nothing. Silly girl, it's not nothing! Haha... But yeah, she was right- I like the point you had brought in that though Izzy's emotions and feelings toward him had changed, Garrett's still the same guy.
The same perfect guy.
... she should have cuddled up to Garrett. It's all I'm sayin. Haha. But that worked well, being practically draped over both guys. Personally, i think that once the physical barrier begins to fall apart, then the emotional barriers will fall as well. Not always necessarily in that order, but I see it pretty often. I don't know, whatever. It makes sense to me. So I just loved it. There's something just so grand about being able to drape your legs over guys. Maybe it's just me? Haha
Anyways. Ehm. The parents were nice enough- I've been pretty concerned about introductions. Unless there's more of that to come? o.0 Hmmmm
Oh my gosh. Oh. My. Gosh. Did you see my arms flapping in excitement? I was flying around the room, I swear. alksdfj There are no words for how cute they were when he asked her out! Both sort of shy and awkward, but trying to play it out, and I just- I just bursted. I flapped. I loved. I LOVE. It was so adorable.
Seriously, Katie, don't underestimate yourself or your talent, ever. You are so brilliant in everything you write, so fluent and so realistic and everything! I love your characters how you personally create each of them and their lives, and there are simply no words to explain how proud I am to know you!
No words for any of this, no words for you. So, SO cute. I mean, it was only a few paragraphs, but you totally captured my heart and I just...a skdfjkds SO CUTE. :D
Ugh, Izzy is so flippen adorable. My heart breaks every time she thinks about her illness. And ugh, Garrett has to find out eventually about it, so sad. I cannot wait for another chapter <3
Awe, I love the brother and sister bonding time you have in the last chapter. It was really sweet and easily relatable, at least for me it was haha. Garrett has been adorable in the past couple of chapters and I'm curious as to how he'll react when she tells him that she's ill.
I still can't believe Izzy has leukemia! D: I'm in denial maybe?
I'm addicted to this story. It's so well written and you do a great job of developing all the characters and their relationships with everyone. I can't wait to read more!
I loved how this was centered around Tyson and Izzy and their relationship- and then you brought in Garrett not only to show him being cute, but also to build up more between sister and brother!
My heart just about broke with Izzy listening to her brother play the piano after so long. That was so sad and heartfelt, it was amazing. You wrote it out beautifully and I felt like I was there, feeling all the pain and sadness there by the paino. Tyson lost so much more than just his best friend- it's like half of your world just disappears, and the other half no longer matters. The way you described it was beautiful, and I loved how you brought in how important this.... this side theme is, to your story.
However, I'll have to admit that I'm frustrated with Izzy. She's just giving up hope, just like that. She's already settled herself with the belief that there is no cure, that she is just going to end up dying, even as they try to save her. That, I think, hurts the most. What can anyone say to that, you know? They might die, but you want to give them the hope they've tossed in the trash. That's so sad! Poor Izzy and Tyson :3
Thought I do admire her for her strength. Trying to be optimistic, at the least, you know? She's trying to do more than mope around until her time comes. She's at least trying something, and she's not doing it so much for herself either. It's better than just dwelling on the negative and everything.
Ugh, Garrett. Only a few lines, but still. Every time, he's just beautiful and cute. You're so brilliant, Katie :) Don't ever forget! I can't wait to see the building relationship.
Especially now that Tyson knows! Haha. He's trying harder with Izzy, and I loved how he talked- hurting him as a friend isn't a good thing either. Tyson is great, I knew I would like him, hehe... but yeah. The last segment of the chapter was wonderful, and I can't wait to see what happens!
lasjdfkds Garrett and Izzy are just precious. I can't wait for the next chapter!!! :D
