Story Notes:
Yeah, I know I shouldn't have started a new one, but this has been stirring in my head for a long time.  This story means a lot to me, being that I centered it around something most of us can relate to: heart disease.  My grandfather had it, my mother has mitrovalve prolapse and I have a murmur (though it's nearly gone and not serious).  I am a part of the HHC (The Foundation Brian Littrell actually founded, which has done a lot of good - check it out) and I wanted to put a twist on what already had happened to him and bring it to life once more.  Not every celebrity has a perfect life, and this is where Audrina comes in.

I was on a roll tonight.  Two chapters, haha.  Sad that I have to get up in three hours, but oh well =]  Hopefully, this is gonna start tying one of the many loose ends that JC and Audrina have given their so-called relationship with each other =]  Make sure you read Chapter 3!

I really am on a roll with all these updates.  You can thank my sudden obsession with watching AJ's 'Lay Down Beside Me' performance, hahaha.  I'm so glad you are all enjoying this story, it means a lot to see how involved you guys are getting!  I'm waiting for a shoe or some hard object to be thrown at me after all the stuff I'm putting my characters through!  I promise I won't torture you for long ...

Sorry for the long delay between updates!  I actually was sick all last week and my eyes were swollen so bad I couldn't even see straight.  It sucked.  Horribly!  But I'm back and I'm finally getting the story to the pivotal chapters so I hope to have it gain better momentum shortly!  Thanks for sticking it out and let me know what you think!  This is a shorter chapter, solely based on Audrina, but it's definitely giving a lot of insight.

A quick update.  A short chapter.  A pivotal moment.  Enjoy =]

Yay, an update!  :]  I want to thank you all for reviewing, I know I've slacked on responding, but I want you to know I read them all and I appreciate them so much.  It's always good to hear what someone has to say about your story, and I hope you continue to let me know what you think!

Woo, two chapter updates within a day!  I'm on a roll with this story! 

32. Chapter 31 by Bobbilynn [Comments - 2] (7053 words)
The next few chapters are going to be really hard for me to write, getting it just how I want without extreme cheesiness or extreme 'wtf was she thinking writing this?' factors.  We shall see how it goes :]

33. Chapter 32 by Bobbilynn [Comments - 3] (8083 words)
It's finally wrapping up :]  Thank you so much for the reviews, angry and all at the characters, haha! 

34. (The Actual) Epilogue by Bobbilynn [Comments - 2] (3373 words)
Apparently, in the midst of my trying to fix my double posting, I ended up deleting the epilogue anyway!  Sorry, guys!

35. Apparently, doing this at 4AM isn't good for my brain ... by Bobbilynn [Comments - 0] (89 words)
It saddens me that this story is done.  But it's been a good four months writing this and I know JC and Audrina's story is told.  There was much I could have done to stretch it out longer, but it would have been painstakingly slow.  Who knows, maybe I'll add little mini's about their lives after the story ended, or even stemming from flashbacks :]  But that's on the back burner if I should decide to do so; there are other stories that need to be finished (By My Side, anyone? ahem)! 

Thank you all so much for your patience between my long and scarce updates, to my quick and one right after another updates, much like the last four or so.  Vacation from work has had it's plus side!  Thank you all for the reviews, the e-mails making sure I hadn't forgotten about them and all the 'JC is so stupid', 'Audrina needs to stop being a baby' remarks; it makes me think that you guys really got into this and was rooting for them the way I did :]

Initially, this epilogue was going to be two parts.  But as I said before, I didn't want to make it a painstakingly long process so I edited a lot and meshed it together.  What you're going to read is the present and then a glimpse into the future.  I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you all around my other stories!!
