yea! *claps hands* He came to surprise her!  Awe...he's so cute!!!  :)

Awesome update...and I'm glad to hear that there will hopefully be another one soon!  I wanted to tell you that you have really grown as a writer through the course of this story.  I've liked this story from chapter one, but each chapter gets better and better writing wise.  Keep up the great work! 



Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was thinking about this earlier, about how I contemplated "if" I could do a long story and I'm really glad I did it. It's given me time to space stuff out, think it over and take the time to perfect how I think and see things. I'm glad you like the story! Comments like these make the art of writing that much more worth it :)

way to go, JC!  *smacks him upside the head* How are you going to fix this? Hmmm??  Hmmm???

Author's Response: You've gotta admit, they've had a pretty drama free relationship. lol You'll have to keep reading :)

*sigh* 

okay, now I'm depressed like JC!  lol...You have a great way of pulling your reader's into your character's heads and letting them feel their emotions.  :)

As far as suggestions...um...if JC wants her, he's going to have to fight for her.  I want to say that he should fly to Chicago and prove that he's sorry.  Or is he sorry?  Maybe neither of them are really ready for this relationship and they need to give it a rest for a while?  I'm going to be really pissed off if this is the case, but as an author I understand that you have to write and stay true to your characters, even if it's not what you want them to do!



Author's Response: Thanks so much for your positive feedback and also for your suggestions :) Hopefully I'll get somewhere with these two.

I'm on the edge of my seat to find out what happens!  Here's hoping you update soon...*crosses fingers*

I'll be honest, I wasn't really expecting the whole appenix thing.  I though she was going to be pregnant and there was going to be something wrong with that....

Awesome update, as usual :)



Author's Response: Well, of course you thought that! lol I had to build it up like that but didn't want it to be like every other story. JC and Carly are a rare couple =) Their future has many possibilities! Keep reading and as always, thanks so much for reviewing! I appreciate it!

Okay, they are just too cute!  Although, I do have to point out a few things.  I have had my appendix removed and it's not fun!  You got the whole bathroom scene perfectly!  You can't bend down for like a week or more and it sucks!  lol...The only thing I had an issue with was the part where she laughed.  You can't do that either without being in excrutiating pain those first couple days and him being almost on top of her with that kiss would have been painful too. And I think I ate only saltines for like three days...

All that aside...great chapter!  I'm glad they've finally made up and I can't wait to see what happens next in their relationship.  Keep up the great work :)



Author's Response:

Okay, I knew somene would get me on this.. lol I DID do research on this and have had friends that have had it done and I swear I tried to keep it on the track of what was medically correct. I did write this chapter really early in the AM though so there may have been parts where I fell off the *correct* path but I guess when I wrote stuff, I tried to see in in my head as being perfectly easy and gentle in regards to them laying together, JC coming over her, etc. Sigh... lol I'll take the no laughing to heart for future appendectomy stories ;)

Otherwise, I'm glad you liked it though :)

hmmm....what is going on with Carly??  *raises a skeptical brow*  Is she pregnant and keeping it from him??

I wish I would have had someone like Jace around when I'd had my appendix out!  *wink, wink*  :)

yea!!!  things are finally getting back on track.  Now, JC needs to suck it up and ask Carly to marry him.  Come on, Jace...you can do it...

Author's Response: lol If onlyyyyyy it were that easy! Thanks for reviewing! I really appreicate you all sticking with me:)

uh-oh...I'm kind of afraid to ask, but I really hope Gavin isn't going to become a problem again!  I don't think Carly and JC could survive another blow-up over him.

 Don't keep us all hanging for too long...   :)

oh snap! *shakes head in disappointment*  Carly, Carly, Carly...what have you done and gotten yourself into??

Author's Response: lol She couldn't be perfect all the time! Thanks for reading and reviewing. Stay tuned :)

these two need to figure out what their problem is...I'm afraid that this is going to turn into one of those stories where it isn't happily ever after at the end...

Author's Response: I know I'm horrible for the roller coaster they always seem to be on. I have to keep you all on your toes now. Hopefully I'll get cracking on the next chapter soon! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

random-ness and drama are good,  but these two need to get their issues worked out quickly!  lol...I'm afraid if they don't they're not going to work and they're going to end up ending it all which would make me very upset.

gah...I...you...ahhh!!!  how can you leave it hanging like that?!  you better have the next chapter ready to post, like, right now!  OMG!  These two, I swear...they're going ot be the death of me!!  lol



Author's Response: lol I'm sorry. I couldn't smoosh everything in all at once! I'll try to get an update up soon. The end is near :(

uhm...WHAT?! 

I...I'm speechless.  SOOOO wasn't expecting that!!  You better hurry up with the next chapter cuz I'm afraid of finding out Carly's reaction, but I also can't want too long! 

Oh, and I'm glad you're feeling better :)  Now...go write!  lol

okay, first of all I have to tell you: I got the update email for this chapter this morning and I was really excited.  I printed the chapter off so I could bring it to work and read it (cuz I can't be on the interenet there. boo.) then as I was stuck on the freeway I realized I'd left the chapter sitting in my printer.  lol...soooo...I had to wait till I got home to read this chapter!  Arg! 

lol...Now with that being said...omg.  Sigh.  Okay, poor rejected JC is too much to handle! lol...and I still haven't figured out Carly's issue (or should I say issues?? jk). Every chapter is like a roller coaster ride with these two!  good grief!

What did this whole exchange mean?? :

JC closed his eyes for a second at the warm feel of her hand but quickly pulled away. "You just don't get it."

Her hand fell from his face. "Get what?"

He shook his head. "I'm not going to tell you Carly. I've always been the one with the short end of the stick. It's time you figure this one out on your own." 

As much as they love each other and as "honest" as they've been with each other I don't think they've really gotten down to the bare bones yet....hmmm...or I could just be over thinking everything!  lol  :)



Author's Response:

You know, I've realized the "drama" with these two is driving people insane and I'll say sorry if I've caused anyone to rip their hair out... lol I just don't want this to be a "typical" story where everyone assumes how everything is going to go. 

As for the exchange, it's basically the beginning of JC trying to get through to her that he's always put her needs first and has always been there for her and she's not really taken the time to think about how he feels, what he's dealing with and the weight of her rejecting his proposal. The reference to "the short end of the stick" is just him kind of sulking, thinking that Carly doesn't really want to be with him and feeling like everything is going to pan out just as it did with his ex. Sorry for the confusion and thank you so much for reading and reviewing :) I promise, their is more to come!
