I can't even...I don't know where to begin. I love Shea (even though i find myself wanting to occasionalyl flick him in his pretty little nose, only out of love). I love Pash (even if he's so fucking irritating to me at times, but most of the time I just can't because I love him.) I love Oliver (he just has his own little world going on and it's lovely.) I love Jonah (even though you, sir, are an occasional butt monkey.) I love Ivan (because you, you keep it together.) I love the story. I wanted to beat Collin's ass when he fought Shea, and when Shea cried, I fanned myself because tears, oh yes, tears were coming. When Shea's mother began to be a bitch in the earlier chapters, I was like, "No, honey, look at your wonderful son and tell me if you can do that again." I had a feeling that from the moment Oliver's sketchbook was found, it was on. And sure enough. And Savannah. I would like to see her again (God knows why, she isn't Shea, Jesus) because she's just so...I don't know, there. Making any sense? No? Okay. XD And Oliver always drawing Shea, I don't know whether to be scared or go, "Aww!" So I'm gonna go, "Aww." Because it brought the sweetest moment ever in the hospital.
AND WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL IS GOING ON WITH PASH I MUST KNOW OH EM GEEZERZ WAT.
Inside you're beautiful my heart, just ngf. Oliver and Shea are just two halves of a whole. Nothing will convince me otherwise. I am looking forward to the trouble though. Intently.
@ MistressOfInsanity Ah yes! That's what I was trying to portray, I have a lot of friends who are artists so Oliver was sort of based on them. Yeah, I know, poor Shea :(
Oliver reminds me of every passionate artist I've ever known - they seem to live in their own little worlds. And I love how you've manage to capture this. Shea...poor boy. I'm glad he stands up for himself though, even if it does get him into trouble.
@ Josh Cutlip. You're welcome to do just that if you wish. I know poor Shea, at least Oliver came to save him! Thanks, I'll hopefully update sometime next weekend.
@ Hurricane Bell Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Yeah, I love writing their characters, I get so captivated by them myself :) thanks for commenting!
Can I punch that Collin guy in he face? And luckily Oliver was there to help him while everybody else was being ignorant. Yeah, I really love this and can't wait for more. (:
I love this. It's utterly captivating, both characters, and also the mystery that seems to surround all of them. Please keep updating, this is beautiful!
I haven't come across a story as captivating as this is a while. Just the whole voice of it is stunning and your third person actually has this real intimacy about it. I'm going to borrow a word from the user below me and say this is addictive.
Your characters just make me want to flail everywhere. I feel like I understand them fully. Particularly Shea's "rebellious" ways and insecurities. I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but I like how this really isn't a high school story. It's very mature but in that way where you're not dumbing anything down for your audience rather than trying to write like you're ten years older, if that makes any sense at all xD
Everything about this just makes me swoon a little and just wow :)
