Ok I just took the time of reading this and YOU CANNOT take another year to update!! I want them out of that hellhole and for them to finally have a happy ending! lol Seriously, I'm glad you've continued this--keep going! MOREMOREMORE!

Author's Response: Ooohh heck no it's not going to be another year lol. I have committed to finishing this because I had so much guilt for leaving it hanging (though it is being a little neglected for a challenge story right now, but I swear it will NOT be that long lol)

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Left my childhood behind
In a roll away bed
Everything was so damn simple
Now I'm losing my head
Trying to cover up the damage
And pad out all the bruises
Too young to know I had it
So it didn't hurt to lose it
Didn't hurt to lose it
No but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling


A girl who is a nobody with a past to the outside world, meets a somebody that holds the future she's been searching for.

Past Featured Story Things aren’t always black and white. Relationships, situations, people - they're complicated and messy, and often heartbreaking, even when they make you happy. Sometimes they’re gray, sometimes they’re blue, and when Justin meets Zooey, everything suddenly turns… yellow.

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

The butterflies are out from Charlottesville this morning
They were carryin' a letter addressed to me
As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
All at once I set them best wishes free


You wrote "how's it been" in some crazy pen on paper
The red wine stain on the back had me green with envy
And the blues you sang on the b-side of that mixtape made me smile
Realized this love of ours might never be

You're upstate with Shakespeare 
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me


You went on and on 'bout some new song and a change of seasons
Bout how Buckley's sketches kept you up all night
Though I did my best to lay to rest your fears about gettin' old
Truth be told it's been so long you just might be right


You're upstate with Shakespeare
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me 

As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
Realized this love of ours was so meant to be


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

At twenty-two years old, Justin Timberlake was voted in as the youngest CEO in Goldman Sachs Brokerage company history.  Reaching billionaire status by the age of twenty four, he is considered untouchable by most, especially by his own family.  Greed has taken over his mind, and his lifestyle, his most famous motto being ‘business first.’  When tragedy suddenly strikes, Justin is faced with the responsibility of caring for two people he never thought he would have to.  Kids are easy though, right? Wrong.  Realizing he needs help, he begins to seek it, but what he finds is more than what he bargained for.

I love how you're not ending this quickly like 1, 2, 3...baby, we're married, we love each other, the end lol. I love the details and how you're wrapping everything together! Can't wait for more :)

Author's Response: Yay so glad you're still loving it! I love details...I'm just trying to go easy beause I don't want to overwrite the story.  There's more coming up! Promise!

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." - Unknown
