i want them back together :/ or for her to have a significant other like jake i know jamison isnt one for relationships but id like her mainly back with john maybe even help cowrite a song ..lol cant wait for the next update

(about chapter 6)

I LOVE this idea for the "Visions" video.

Ooooh no... The goodbye again... Oh tears, stop.

Jake is a good friend. And totally blunt.

OMG. That was the WORST way of meeting themselves. Ever.

(about chapter 5)

“We’re going to hash this awkward shit out over whiskey—whiskey brings people together.”
Fun fact: people who drink more alcohol, live longer. Seriously, read this http://gizmodo.com/5632914/why-alcohol-is-good-for-you

I'm glad Jamison and the boys are talking again, she needs all the good people she can get in her life.

I cried with this flashback.

“My eye is just being twitchy.” Hahahaha oh John... By the way, have you ever heart the cover of Say My Name/Cry Me a River by The Neighbourhood? Soooo good/sexy/original.

“Life seems to have a weird sense of humor.”
Hell yeah.

Question of the day: man... I don't know. If it happened to me, I'd be speechless. Maybe ask awkwardly "how are you" or just turn back and walk away.

You and you friend are beautiful souls.

(about chapter 4)

Molly seems nice.

Paperweight is such a lovely song.

"And he was doing fine without her."
Well, John, as Meredith Grey said: "I believe that we can be extraordinary together rather than ordinary apart" so if you want to be just "fine".... Your decision dude

Why did you stop the flashback?!? I want to know what happened!!

@ priscillaelise
First off, holy shit... thank you for your kind words. I never thought of character development too much and things like that cause most of the time I just write things out and hope for the best. But with that being said, thank you for your kind words I don't feel like I deserve them. But I do feel like I am setting up a lot, hopefully it's not more than I can bite off/ends up crashing and burning.

I just wanted to answer these questions for you: There WILL be more insight to John/Molly (I had this planned) and no John never used the song he wrote for Jamison for Christmas (there is a reason which will be explained!).

Gah, just thank you for your words once again. Day has been made.

Wow, just read the prequel and what you have so far of the sequel and all I can say is holy shit; what a beautifully heartbreaking story. Mad props to you for Jamison's noticeably amazing character development in the sequel, I really like the direction you're taking the story. Your consistent use of flashbacks is a nice touch, it really reinforces how hard the break-up hit the both of them.
You're definitely setting up a lot with the whole Halvo run in and the boys catching up with Jamie, but I'm interested to see how all of that is going to play out in the end, whose ass it's going to end up biting. Like the person who commented before me said, I was surprised when Molly introduced John as her boyfriend. A little more insight into their relationship would be awesome, especially in regards to John's feelings towards her while still obviously coping with the Jamison break-up and lack of musical inspiration. (By the way, did he ever end up using the song he wrote for her for Christmas for anything?)
On a side note, I love how poetic and deep their love is/was. It wasn't ever about the attraction, and you stayed true to that throughout the entire story.
I'm looking forward to where this story is going to go next, you definitely have yourself a new reader! :)

so basically, their encounter is exactly how i pictured it would probably go...totally awkward. granted, i was surprised they ran into each other this early...then again, technically it's been two years...at any rate, i was still pretty shocked when they ran into each other. no lie, my jaw literally dropped, loud gasp, hand covering the mouth...the whole shebang. yup. way to throw me for a loop there. haha. thanks for concluding (somewhat) what happened with the interaction with Jamison and Halvo. :) part of me thinks that eventually John's gonna find out that the guys all hid from him that they had been hanging out with Jamison and he's going to get like really mad or something...i don't know. or maybe he's not going to mention this encounter...but maybe something about this awkward encounter leads to inspiration for his songs?? i mean, i'm noticing a theme between them right now...they both have songs that are about the other...i think it's almost fitting if his next series of songs were about her in the sense of his life either when they were together, his life post-breakup, how seeing her after 2 years totally threw him off...maybe a combo of them all??? no idea. haha. just throwing stuff out there. hopefully you get out of writer's slump soon. i'm currently in the same boat and it sucks. but man oh man, i squealed pretty loud when i saw you updated this. (and not to worry, it didn't suck, and it was way more than tolerated! i LOVE it.) i'm anxious to see what's going to happen between john and jamison now. will they ignore the fact that they saw each other and pretend it never happened? will they try to reconnect? will they relapse from the progress they thought they had been making?? also, for the record, until molly said so, i didn't know that they were official??? maybe give a bit more background into how that happened?? like i know this story is a series of flashbacks combined with current events (which is totally cool by the way) anyway, i had to read and comment on this before i went to bed. well wishes to you. and i appreciate you and your friendship more than you realize :) much love

Every chapter always leaves me anxious! I must know what's going on!

Writers block is seriously the worst thing ever. Especially when you start out so invested in it. But no worries, I'm sure you'll find inspiration soon! :)

@ chelsea13
Hahahaha. You're my favorite just so you know..i have nothing else to say....

@ dreamingyouhere
So I was just scrolling through the comments and saw the indirect about my long comments...haha. honestly, I have no idea. Sometimes i just have a lot to say. I can be a bit long-winded. If we ever get into any sort of conversation, watch out! Haha. I'm liable to talk your ears off!! Haha. that being said, yeah, I can talk a lot and I have a tendency to ramble...much like I am now...or going off on tangents...haha. for the record, ill be more than happy to leave you my "famous" novel-length replies on your stories. I still need to comment on yours anyway I think...

UPDATE!!!!!!!! (and it wasn't before class! Score! Haha) granted, it WAS updated whilst I was dancing the night away with my best friend. Haha, but during a break I saw I had an email saying you updated and got super happy :) I hope life is slowing down a bit for ya.

Also, gah, why must you leave these cliffhangers with her running into people from her past?!? First Mama O, now Halvo....you're killing me Smalls!!! That aside, its nice to get more background on Jamison and Molly/John....you already know how I feel about that. Haha. I'm liking her right now in how she's acting like a buffer of sorts I guess?? Not sure if thats the right term, but its all I got homie. Haha.

As for your question, I feel of John and Jamison were to run into each other, I think it would be kinda silent...like they're in disbelief that the other is standing in front of them...maybe some tears shed with a giant hug...but I can't help but feel it'd be a bit on the awkward side...however I also feel like they have such great chemistry, that they may sorta fall back into old habits where they take care of each other in a sense?? I don't know...just my thoughts for now. They're subject to change later. Haha.

Much love and appreciation. Thanks for being you :)

( Thoughts about chapter 3 )

Wow... First, I love honest interviews, you know? The ones that you can know a little more about the person.
Second... You just have a way with words and imitating reality! It leaves me speechless.
It's always good to learn about Jamison, this flawless fictional character.

PS: tests are over!!!! LIBERT- not really, I still have classes :(

WOW, is it me again? Yes! Just a catch up before the gym and then, guess what? More study <insert crying face><insert gun emoji>

[ Thoughts about chapter 2 ]

“Fun fact about this track is that Brendon from Panic! At The Disco did drums on this track.”
I think it's funny when musicians are talking about a really personal song and they just change the subject to the technical details

GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS ♥ have you ever heard "stars"? Her voice is perfect, I wish I sing like her

This flashback... It's so painful... FEELINGS

Pat is the sweetest human being on Earth

“Someone once told me that love can never be truly silenced by anything" It was me!! :D I told Jay this when we were fishing, my old friend, great guy hahah

Thumbs up for the way you fit "take me dancing" inside this scene
----------
Answer of the day: I believe in second chances for everyone, so when it comes to love it isn't different. Especially because sometimes the timing that people come into your life is not perfect, so why not try again? Of course it can be hazardous or the best decision of your life, but isn't like this with all things in life?

PS: It just occurred me that Jamison can be a almost anagram for Jam & Song... Ok, maybe I really need to sleep

PPS: I dedicate this song to my biophysics test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aznFLJ5qjl8

"no fun today, no fun at all, no more talking on the telephone, read this, write that and learn it aaaaaall CAN'T LEARN IT AAAAAAAALL"

Look who's not dead after no sleep and too much studying! Also, I got an A+ on my anatomy test (can I hear a "you go girl" from the audience?)

[ Thoughts about chapter 1 ]

Brendon Urie is my spirit animal. The way this story starts is already a "hell yeah" from me.

"Angry young girls are not something that I enjoy dealing with. They are scary and mean… really mean"
TRUE. If you look to MCFLY's fandom you'll see that (it's going to be 6 years without an album and instead of just releasing stuff, they decide to tour with Busted... #angryface - let's just ignore above the noise because it's irrelevant)

“Who knew one person could give me all the words I needed, to say what I wanted to say?” /
“Who knew one person could take all the words I needed, to say what I wanted to say?”

I SEE WHAT YOU DID HERE. I don't know if there's a name for it (i think it's called parallelism) but I LOVE when writers do that.

My, my, my...a visit to Mama O...wonder what that's all about...Jamison, Jamison, Jamison....tut tut tut. (for some reason I'm speaking in three's a lot right now...what's up with that??? hahaha).

I'm interested in finding out more into how she interacts with the guys...either in continuation with that initial meeting or after that night...like does she continue to keep in touch with them and none of them tell John?? do they all go back to awkwardly not talking to each other for the sake of John?? And ok, is it bad that I like automatically started shipping John and Molly??? Like I'm not sure why, but I dig the chemistry between them...a lot...Like his dynamic with Jamison was so different (obviously) and they got to know each other in a different way and in a sense, a more personal way. For some reason, his encounter (at least from what you described) seemed more....him??? not that he was being fake with Jamison (duh) but idk...I like Molly though...despite getting the feeling that I'll be the minority party here...don't get me wrong, I'm all for a happy Jamison/John reunion if it's in the cards for the story...but I'm not denying that I wouldn't be just as thrilled with John/Molly...who knows. My opinion may change tomorrow, but for now, I like her. She's quirky and if nothing else, can help get John out of the funk that he's been in. So...not to replace Jamison, but rather help John get over her??? maybe??? Or at least get him back to his old self. I'm rambling again. But basically, I enjoy Molly's character and am interested to see how she plays in this story :)

@ Maiteshope
Ah thank you so much and don't worry about it :) ♡

I liked the interview chapter! It gave me a very clear image on how Jamison is currently doing with everything that has happened. I was also glad to read the word "reunion" for the next chapter which is pretty exciting! I would imagine it being awkward though! Hahaha.

I'd love to see how John reacts to her album and how the rest of the guys would react too. Reunion would probably mean running into each other or something in the like. Aaahhh whatever I'm still excited for the next installment! :-)

Ah I've got to check out that song now!

And yes, I feel like I have to pick sides like if John's more hurt about this then I have to be like, "Jamison is a jerk, it doesn't matter." Or vise versa...haha.

I however did enjoy finding out a bit more about her. :)

BTW, How the hell Chelsea13 writes comments that long I'll never know, it's really astonishing. Haha

ok, so i lied in your message earlier and decided, "screw getting ready for class, i'm reading/commenting on this now!" so i did. haha. (luckily my class isn't for another 40 minutes. BUT i did finish my homework for that class before reading this, so i was at least somewhat responsible...even if your stories as well as a couple others' are completely taking over my life. haha)

so yes...you totally gave me all your heart-felt emotions in that riveting message. so thanks for that :) *channeling my inner patrick kirch* "you da bessst" :) lots of fun patterned socks and potatoes for you.

so, firstly, can i just say, LOVE the beatles allusions in this chapter!! from the title of the chapter, to the name of the tour...not only does it fit her aesthetic, but it's just so GREAT. (my inner bealtemaniac is fangirl screaming right now...in the best way possible)

secondly, ahhhh, i now understand the reasoning behind the questions you asked. glad to see some influence there. :) always good to have some back story. her story is so interesting anyway with her start in the industry, to everyone she's worked with and befriended...(so jealous). it's good to see her side of this :) i won't deny, i'm interested in knowing/finding out john's initial reaction to her album (if he knows about it)...and wondering if any songs/inspiration hits as a result?? does he go to see her on tour? does she have a tour stop in AZ and he avoids it on purpose (or long ago decides to stop keeping tabs on her so is completely oblivious to her being in AZ) and they run into each other during the day?? maybe that's where something happens??? idk...i'm just throwin shit against the wall and seein what sticks at this point.

as far as b-sides (a la their happier times in the past) i think those would be nice in terms of them going about their individual lives and coming across something that triggers a happy memory perhaps?? kinda similar to john finding the envelope in his journal?? if that makes sense...idk. haha. i had coffee this morning and i'm a bit jittery at the moment and incapable of forming cohesive, comprehensible thoughts. haha. (i felt so collegiate just then...all those 50 cent words...haha) anywayyyyyyyy, thanks for the update, and keep it up. :)

much love, potatoes, good music, and good vibes to you :) xx

(ps: sorry if my english isn't good sometimes, I'm french (: ! )
