WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME EMOTIONAL IN THIS WAY? It's my dream to be in a band and just make music that helps people in situations like this through tough times. Avenged have helped me through so much, and music in general has just been such an escape for me, I can totally relate to Emily. This is an incredible one-shot: you are an amazing writer!
A friend of mine recommended it and I, normally, never really pay much attention to any recommended stories. I'm just not much into reading lately, though I write my own stories. But I can honestly tell you, I'm happy I clicked on this. I'm honestly a bit disappointed how fast pace this was, but it was still lovely. To be honest, it made me tear up. My heart practically swelled when Zack stopped her from doing anything. I feel, like, a personal connection with her. My depression makes me want to give up sometimes, but bands like Avenged Sevenfold give me hope.
Sorry I made this all long and personal. In short I really love this one-shot and it pulled on my heart a little in a good way. If you were to ever decide to make it a full story (on that small chance) I would love to know. I would enjoy reading it. Keep up the awesome work!
I won't lie - the first half of this, showing her school and home life, I didn't really like. It just went too quickly for me and seemed a little random and too much all at once, but I understand the need to tell the story there. So I went on reading.
Getting to the end, where Zacky saved her... I was literally holding my breath while she was standing on the bridge. I loved this. It got my heart beating and it made me want to cry, and I love the thought of Zacky coming across a fan and helping them in their moment of greatest need. It was perfect and it just...well, we all know it's something he would do.
So despite my comment about the beginning of this story, I did indeed love it. I'm glad I carried on reading, and thank you for sharing this with us. =') It's beautiful.
