I LOVEDDDDD LOVEDDDD LOVEDDDD the story! It was by far the best one i have read in a LONG time. I love reading fan fiction especially since they are scattered all over the place. You are a FANTASTIC writer and i could def. see some of these stories being a book! Continue writing hunnie!
<3
Oh noooooooooooooooooo! I can't believe this is done! I was like, OMG I can't wait for the next chapter, and then I saw:
COMPLETED
I was terribly sad after that. But it did end well, and the way I wanted it to. There was one line, though that I fell in love with.
"Climb over the wall and let him catch you on the other side."
.....perfection. I can't really say why that line stood out the most to me, because I don't really know. But you did a good job and I enjoy reading your stories. I can't wait for what's next.
Author's Response: awwww...thank you!! I was sad to see this story end as well. I fell in love with Cassie and Justin and, even though I had struggles at times writing this story, I was very invested in in. There were quite a few lines that stuck out to me while I was writing but the one about climbing over the wall is deffinitely a big one. It's something we all need to do from time to time (trust someone else) but it's scary. I don't know what's next for me as far as writing goes. I haven't been hit with any new inspiration yet. But, as soon as I am, you all here will be the firsts to know! :)
Wise words, and again well done!
And look, I have finally opened an account to review - Hooray! About time :)
Author's Response: yea, for finally opening up an account!! lol...next step is writing! ;) If you're on facebook or twitter look me up! (Cheryl McLaws)
Oh my, what a beautiful ending for Cassie. Like your other stories and characters, I am very sorry to see their journey end (or this episode of their story end -- hopeful thinking for future installments :) but am happy that it ends with them in each other arms, walls broken down and plans for their future in place.
Your last paragraph really touched base with me. Being in my mid 20's, still living in the town I grew up in, I have a tendency to view the grass greener elsewhere ( which is hard to imagine as Ireland, if anything, does not lack in associations with green and grass!) Thinking dreams I've been chasing will be actualised, or as you/Justin put it 'empty spaces' in my life will be filled abroad, at some time in the future and not at home now. But maybe what is here and now is what is to be meant to be grasped and achieved. Perhaps all I ever needed, or wanted is at home too.On a less profound and life-reflecting note, I loved this story and have looked forward to each installment, so thank you for writing such a beautiful story and WELL DONE!! And on a side note...I have always wondered what Justin and Aubrey would be like as parents to a little Randy :)Looking forward to reading more from you,ShellAuthor's Response:
thank you!! I LOVED how you put it: maybe what is here and now is what is to be meant to be grasped and achieved. That is something I definitely have to remember and apply in my own life. It is so easy to push off followig your dreams, and view the grass as being greener on the other side of the fence but what you have to remember is that: the grass may be greener, but the water bill is higher! lol...you make your dreams come true by not being afraid to live your life and making the most of what you have :)
I don't have any future stories planned right now, but I never know when inspiration will strike :) I'll definitly keep you're thought about writing more about Aubrey and Justin in mind. Thank you for all the reviews and support. Honestly, you don't know how much it means to me. <3
Author's Response: thank you!! :)
Author's Response: hahaha, I don't know if there will be a sequel or not but I guess anything's possible. I'm so proud of Cassie. She was able to overcome a lot in a short amount of time and now she and Justin can live happily ever after!! <3
::tears::
I did not know that I had missed this much updating while I was gone. Beautiful. Stunning. Amazing. Incredible. Three cheers for you!
Congratulations and beautiful job, m'dear.
A microscope with bright blue eyes that saw all her imperfections, and was able to call all her bluffs.
Isn't this what we all dream of? To have this someone that is your better half - your 'no-bullshit' half. Stunning line - Bravo!
Author's Response: I've been waiting for you to catch up! lol...I'm so glad you liked it!!! Also, that was a great line. There were a couple of them that I typed them out and was like, damn. That's good. hahaha. <3
Author's Response: yea!! I'm glad you liked it! :) It is sad to see this story ending but it was a fun ride. Thanks for reading and always reviewing. Like I said, the reviews always keep me going!
Author's Response: I guess there's always a chance they could pop back up but right now, I don't see their story continuing. I don't have any plans to write any sort of sequel, but like I said: there's always a chance :) Thanks for reading, reviewing, and loving this story!!
P.S - I love Matt's 'father figure' role and the sound advice he offers
Also 90th review - congrats :)
Author's Response: I seriously LOVE your reviews! They make me smile and I always seem to get them right when I need a push to keep writing. Thank you!! :)
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie...tut-tut...will you ever stop doubting our poor Justin?
Matt puts his finger on it when he says "The only thing that's going to drive him away from you is you." Open up and welcome that strapping pair of biceps into your arms, your heart and your life. And comprise Cass..hell if I was offered a two week try-out in LA, I'd have my bags packed pronto (even though I have always wanted to see Tennessee) I do understand that it is a major step, and he did just break up with his long time gf only weeks ago, but what is there to lose?
Also I ADORE this caring and protective yet charming and playful portrayal of Justin
Sorry for only reviewing now and not when I first read the chapter, I have been swamped in work and just now got the chance:(
Sorry to hear about your writer's block, but I have a feeling that the SAG awards this Sunday and a glimpse of JT dressed in a tux will provide some inspiration;)
Well done as per usual, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment,
Shell :)
