I just read this & I think it's amazing. Not the typical girl-goes-away-and-comes-back-and-kisses-the-boy-she-left-and-they-were-happy-forever-after. I think it's nice twist. Great job.
I love this so far! I feel so bad for Avery, but then again, John has a right to feel the way he does. I really hope you decide to turn this into a story! :)
