Ok, it's official. I love Billy. Haha. Tell it like it is man! Him and his southern sayings. Love it. Lol Justin needed to hear that. Charlie called him out on it a long time ago, but seems like he needed someone like his grandpa, who he obviously has lots of respect for, to voice his thoughts. I think it's very easy to see how and when he turned into a runner. Also no matter where he's at he gets chastised. At home with his parents and grandparents and in the city by amelia. He's just like a disobedient puppy. A stupid puppy. All of his family and his best friend see it and he's ignored it...ignored the obvious by looking at the past. Justifying things with the past that is long gone. Now his future is coming up on him so fast he can't help but live in the present and finally think about what could and could not be his future. He's just been living in dream world. Well buddy it's time to wake up! *rolls eyes* and every time somebody even mentions amelia or the wedding his gets tense and moody and defensive. Do I really need to say why that's a problem? And I think once he wakes up fully and gets out of dream land he will see the light that's been there the whole time. He loves the idea of what amelia used to be, but those days are gone. She probably loves the idea of having a submissive husband. Haha. And I think he's just scared when it comes down to it. He has been ripped to shreds for years, his backbone is gone, his pride is long gone...all when dealing with amelia of course. All that's there when he's with charlie, but anyway, he's scared to stand up to amelia and end things. If he does in fact leave amelia, he needs to do some soul searching and become who he used to be. Be himself again because that person is almost completely gone and if he marries her it will be lost forever. Still don't want him with charlie though. I want her to rip him to shreds and only then can he start his soul searching. LOL whew! Glad I finally got to these! I've been a busy bee and I need uninterrupted time to read this. :o) update soon!

Author's Response: YES he's getting a lot of advice in a short period of time and just a lot of people telling him what to do in general. He needs to just figure his shit out and take responsibility for his life. Ugh he's annoying ME and i'm the one that shaped him hahaha. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

NO.EFFING.WAY.
NOOOOOOO. FREEEAKING. WAAAAAAY!! I can NOT believe I just read those two words. He took what his grandpa said the completely wrong way! I am seriously almost in tears. This is so ridiculous! HE is ridiculous! Reading the start I was hoping that charlie would just go and say what she had to say and I'm glad she did even though it probably felt like complete hell for her with the lack of reaction she got. At least, as trace said, she won't regret it later. I know I say how weak she is, but that doesn't mean she's deserved this hurt and pain that she's gone through. Yes she has brought it on herself, but gosh she's a good person! Too good obviously with what she has put up with from justin and amelia. And now that the shock has worn off, I'm glad he went ahead and said I do. I wanted charlie and justin to be together. I didn't, but there was always a small part of me that did. That had hope that he'd wake up. I wanted him to just stop being stupid and be honest with himself and stop hiding from himself. But he is such a lie and she just revealed her heart to him and he still goes through with it so I'm done. I don't want them together at all because what he's put charlie through in unforgivable. If charlie ever talks to him again I want her to show how strong she is and how he's going to regret not being with her. I reeeally want that. She needs her moment of strength and confidence before this is all said and done. Ugh. Wow. So glad I finally could read it. What a chapter woman. I love you. Lol update soon! :o)

Author's Response: Okay I really liked your review because of the range of emotion you showed. Like how you went from being in shock to really thinking about what happened to Charlotte and what justin put her through. It was nice to actually SEE that transition because that's really what I was going for with this chapter. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

ugh. conflicting emotions here! so happy to finally read the end, but so so sad that it is over! :o( but wow...this has been an emotional and entertaining journey. i feel like i've been a character in it myself with how intense my feelings would be as i read this story.  anyway, i'm super happy with the outcome.  i was worried there that charlie would let him in easily since he has such a hold on her, but i'm so glad it wasn't easy and she made him suffer for a bit. it was only fair! but i'm so glad they made it back to each other and justin made it back to himself. absolutely love that. perfect ending. :o) i will have to check out the deleted scenes. you always seem to create characters that become my fav couples. Charstin. Skystin. loooove. thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us once again and creating this masterpiece. yes, masterpiece. now when are we going to make this into a movie? :o)

Author's Response: YAY I'm glad you liked the ending. This story was such a mountain and conquering it was rough but I'm very happy with the outcome and really ecstatic that you guys are as well. I'm glad you're loving the characters and hopefully we'll hear more from these guys. Thanks so much for reading all this time and for your wonderful reviews!

awww! that was so cute. hot and cute. haha. :o)

and she will continue to have you wrapped forever. haha. that was a really, really cute update. it was really nice of trace to set up the room too. it was all so sweet. and good for saying no to all that magazine crap. way to go jt! haha. udpate soon. :o)

I understand Ava having big sister syndrome, but dang can she ease up?!? haha. gosh. any time Selah and a boy are mentioned in the same sentence she gets an attitude and acts like her sister isn't supposed to date until she's 30! haha. I really feel for Selah though. Hopefully during this process she'll be able to open up, gain confidence, and go for what she wants. It would be awesome if she got the help and push to do so from Mr. SexyBack himself. Just saying...haha. ;o) update soon!

Author's Response: Haha, yeah Ava definitely is trying to make sure that her sister doesn\'t get too attached or involved with these two men in particular. But I think it\'s because she doesn\'t want to see her get used and then hurt and you\'ll understand why she feels that way very soon. Selah on the other hand is definitely going to have her time to shine and come out of her shell as the story evolves and Mr. SexyBack may have something to do with that. ; ) I love your reviews so thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

ominously is right. haha. this chapter made me enjoy this even more. selah and i are a like it a lot of ways...ok, i know she's a character, but you know what i mean. haha. but yeah...i really can't wait to read more about her that will allow us to get inside her thoughts and feelings. and you know, if i was her and he winked at me, i'd have a teeny moment too no matter how much i know that he's just a regular person. haha. update soon please! :o)

Author's Response: Aww, I\'m glad that you can relate to her because that was one of my main objectives with the story, that everyone can relate to Selah in some way. Like I said before, she really is a complex person and the reasons why will be developed over time. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it!

ohmyfreakinggoshheckyes!! that was the hottest dance EVER. girl seriously...that was sexy. my body heat just rose way too high and i definitely don't mind. and great song choice. haha. things reeeally just got kicked into high gear and i'm loving it. justin is already bringing her confidence back everytime they speak. she gets all feisty and flirty and it's awesome. haha. jessica is still in the picture though, and i don't want ava to find out about this or nick. i think it should just stay between them because it was so private and there was some kind of connection made. i know that jess is still his gf, but i don't want selah and justin to distance themselves. i don't want them to backtrack. they don't have to go forward immediately (obviously), but i just don't want them to get weird on each othere. eh. i guess i have to wait and see what happens next. please update soon! awesome job on this one. :o)

Author's Response: Firstly, you know you are so right about Justin giving her a little bit of confidence back everytime that they speak or interact with each other and I never thought of it that way, so thanks for pointing that out to me. Secondly, yeah I had to find someway for these two to release the tension that they had between them (without them taking their clothes off), so I decided on dancing and I just made it as sexy as possible *teehee*. Not only do YOU not want Ava or Nick or even Jessica to find out, but neither do the two of them so we\'ll see how well they can keep this under wraps without being awkward toward each other or giving something away. And trust me, after that chapter there is no going back for Selah and Justin. I love your reviews and thank you so much for taking the time to read and write one. ; )
