I LOVE this chapter. I knew something else was going on as soon as she called her and I feared it was her mother. So sad. They're adorable together, it was a great idea and I really like the idea of them starting over with all their shit behind.  Great job!

Author's Response: YAY, thank you so, so much. Like I said, one of my favorite chapters, so I'm super glad that you enjoyed it. As for starting over, we shall see if they live up to it all! Glad you're still reading!

Oh oh, in all my emotions I forgot to say that Justin talking about the voice mail thing I was dyyying LOL! That was great. And I'm wondering if her sleeping with his friend will come up again. Again, great work girl!

Author's Response: And I'm glad it made you laugh! I wrote it in after I completed everything else in the chapter, but I thought it was a cute moment. As for Rie sleeping with Huch... I dunnnoooo, we shall see! Thanks again, hun!

WOW. That was the most amazing chapter! I am so emotional now LOL. That kiss was so great, the skydive was so great, everything was great. Update soon, amazing work!!!

Author's Response: Awww, thank you so very much! Trust me, I got emotional writing it, so I'm right there with ya lol. I'm so, so glad that you enjoyed it all, 'cause I worked on it for a while. 'Preciate it, girl!

First of all, I've got to say I love this story and how sorry I am that I've become a lazy bum and not reviewed this sooner. Now about the chapter... that kiss, ay dios mio, I was like "yeeesssnoo" about it. All because of Talis, who I haven't even decided if I like her or not. I mean, she still hasn't told him about the whole cheating thing and now she's bogarted her way into his life again; and the way she carries on as if everything is perfectly normal kind of annoys me--and why am I on the fence about not liking her? lol Seems like I've kind of decided that i don't. Yet in still, she's probably thinking they're cool again (or working towards it) and then suddenly Justin realizes he hasn't talked to Rie in awhile and goes slowly more and more phone crazy (which was hilarious, by the way, especially the bit about wanting to hurt the voicemail lady lol) and then disappears to spend a day or two with Rie, which I'm sure Talis doesn't know about. And if she doesn't know, I wonder if he even said anything about where he was going, though I guess he doesn't really owe her any explanations...
But at the same time, it's like who cares, cause him and Rie are so cute together. I love their banter. And...and...could you just update now? lol Like right now? Kthanks.

Author's Response: AAAANGIE! Yay! Dude, it's okay to be a lazy bum; I'm just super stoked that you're reading! It's funny, everyone else was just pretty "Yesss!" about the kiss, but it's interesting you had even an ounce of sympathy for Talis. I like it. My guess, though, is that you don't actually like her and you just want Justin to tie up his loose ends with her before moving on, yes? Because you clearly see that she's being a manipulative skank! And I'm glad you enjoyed Justin being phone-crazy ('cause we've all been there, haven't we?) because, although it was an after-thought for the chapter, I liked it too! And it's also funny you wonder if he mentioned where he's going, because it's kind of addressed in the following chapter lol. You're right though, he doesn't owe Talis much of anything, (even if he doesn't know the whole story yet), so don't fret, my pet lol. And most importantly, I am so glad that you like Riestin and their banter, and even more, that I got to hear from you, because I always love to! THANKS for the review, girl!

Girl, I'm not even going to lie. That is probably one of the best pieces of writing I've read in quite some time.

I LOVE where this is going! :)

Author's Response: Duuuude, thank you so much. What an incredible compliment! :love It was one of the first chapters I wrote and it's definitely one of my favorite things I've written, so thank you, Taina! I hope I don't disappoint!

amazing!!!

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yyyyyyyyaaaaaayyyyyy and yes best chapter so far I hope they can both live up to letting things go

Author's Response: Awww, thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. As for them living up to their promises... *whistles innocently* We shall see! lol

oh god. I so love you right now. this chapter just made one of the shittiest weeks ever worth it. You are truly talented to be able to take us away from our problems with this beautifully complicated and slightly self destructive characters of yours. Please please update real soon. Love and peace. *wipes eyes and sniffs* sorry now I feel all contemplative and shit. *goes off to read tears for water and write poetry*

Author's Response: I was really hoping you'd like it, because I know how much you appreciate my precious Rie! But to hear that I could take you away from any problems, even if only for a few minutes, means the world, seriously. I definitely wanted to make them beautiful disasters, so I'm glad to see that I'm succeeding with that. And contemplative is good! ...Sometimes lol. Really though, thank you so, so much for reading and enjoying and reviewing. And I hope this week is going better for ya! :love

That was SUCH an awesome chapter, you don't even understand! I'm teary-eyed right now...great, great job!

Author's Response: EEP! Thanks so much. I've been excited about it since I began the story, so I'm reeeeeeally glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review!

fajiowe;agvjewioagjeio!!!!!!! BEST CHAPTER EVER IN LIFE! OMG!!!!  I need an update pronto!  OMG make him kick talis out right now and move rie in!  OMG OMGOMG!  Please tell me we aren't close to the end!!!!!! 

Author's Response: AWWWWW what an awesome compliment. Except now, I have a lot to live up to lmao. But seriously, thank you! As for the future, we shall see what happens, but I promise you we're not close to the end. Still a lot of loose ends to untie and re-tie and stuff lol. Thanks again for the review!

Even though I haven't reviewed on all the other chapters, I just had to let you know that I've been reading and after reading this chapter, I had to come in and review.

It was so good and now I understand why it's one of your favorite chapters. I really liked it because it's so relatable to anyone who reads it and needs to let go of all the things that are holding them down because it's obvious that everyone has baggage, ya know? And the whole skydiving mixed with the writing of the lists was amazing too. Great job girl and I'm really enjoying this story.

Author's Response: Eep! I'm so glad to see you're reading, Bri! :love Thank you so much, and I'm stoked that you enjoyed it. And you're so right that anyone can relate. We all have demons and heartache and things we wish could fly on out the window, and hopefully, this made Rie and Justin a little more human in that regard. Again, I'm so glad you're reading. I hope to hear from ya again! :love x 2694792

ohhhh such a great chapter! i cried when she read her letter and when she jumped, that was amazing. and they kissed! I'm so happy with you right now, amaaaazing job!

Author's Response: Thank you so, so much. I have to confess, I cried a little while writing it lol. I'm glad it hit a nerve, though (in a good way)! And I'm super glad you're happy with me. Thanks so much, hun.
