Oh my god, oh my god, guys, guys,

*Runs into the room sputtering and flailing*

I honestly don't know what to do right now. I'm home alone, no one to celebrate with. I've been dancing around my house, screaming and laughing and crying, and I'm pretty sure my two cats think I'm insane. So I just HAD to make an author's note to share my excitement with someone.

So....

*ugly cries*

I can't... I just can't even.

, and I wish I could hug and squeeze each and every one of you right now!

When I started this book, I never imagined it would amount to anything. I was just writing for fun, hoping a few people out there might not hate it. I never thought I would be blessed enough to come this far and I'm so, so, so grateful. We've come so far.

This is probably the best day of my life and I don't even know how to express myself right now. There are just too many emotions!

I hope you all know how much this means to me and how much I love you! You've all been incredibly supportive, so kind, and the amount of love you've shown has honestly brightened my life in so many ways. Ugh, I'm crying. 😭

I'm so thankful for Wattpad. It's because of this incredible organization that regular people like me and you are able to share our passion and have a chance at being recognized for it.

Writing is my passion, it's all I've ever wanted to do. Using my imagination to create something that I can share with others is the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

Writing stories, sparking emotion in complete strangers, giving people something to feel good about after a long day at work or school.... That's my purpose in life. And I couldn't do it without this app. So thank you Wattpad! Thank you for everything you do!

A very special, giant, humongous THANK YOU to the incredible !!

Thank you for sharing my story, for believing in me and for always having a kind word to share.

You've blessed my life, Emie. *hugs*

And I'm SO thankful for my readers! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for giving my book a chance, thank you for supporting me chapter after chapter, thank you for giving my life a purpose. I love you all so very much.

If you love this book, please share it with your friends! The train doesn't stop at one million! We're gonna keep going, baby!

Thanks again my friends.

And remember...

Xoxoxo times ONE MILLION,

-Kailey ❤️
