I really liked this. The banner is gorgeous; a little small, but beautiful nonetheless. Your grammar and spelling is absolutely impeccable, and your descriptions are very vivid and some of the scenes that you wrote about were really cute. I like the title, because whenever I read it I sing along (I forgot the name of the song, but the words, "And I'll try to fix youuu..." and I just like singing your title because it's very fun. c:
I loved how you started the story:
I laid in bed listening to him breathing. The slow and steady in and out of his breath should have been calming, but instead it seemed to only distract me further.
It's a simple, but intriguing start and it hooks the reader in rather successfully. I like how you started with quite a simple action, just lying in bed with someone, but then you detail it as the chapter rolls on and introduce complications to the once simple and picturesque scene. Like how you say that the sound of his breathing is distracting, and how apprehensive she feels, etcetera.
The ending was really, really depressing.
Seriously. I loved the story but, why.
"St. Vincent's Mental Hospital. How may I help you?"
D: It was such an ominous ending, and although I knew what was going to happen I didn't want it to happen. Ahh. I loved this, I'm kinda sad that I missed the 'updating journey', if you will, of this story. :(
Here's my nitpicks:
"He sat up in bed," delete in bed? He's already there?
"I knew that time...." The word "that" is superfluous in the sentence--say the sentence without the word and you'll see?
"started wrapping his arms...." Or stronger is, "he wrapped his arms around...."
Similar "Going to miss you," Simpler is "I'll miss you?"
"rare form" might be too cliché?
