A/N:

Hi Everyone! I'm so happy you found your way to my profile and decided to take a chance on this book. This page used to have cast photos on it, but I've taken them down. The point of reading is to imagine your own characters how you see them. It's personally my favorite part, and I don't want to take that away from anyone.

I have one more request before you begin...

Wattpad is a fun platform to work from. Readers have the ability to interact with authors with their comments in realtime. That is amazing and very helpful when editing and seeing what works. I love getting your comments and I put them to use when I'm deciding what stays and what goes.

What is not helpful is a thousand comments in a row calling the MC a whore, slut, or any number of derogatory terms like that. (In other words, don't call someone petty and be petty yourself)

Now, if you'd read my works before, you know I like to swear a lot and I'm honestly not easily offended. BUT...maybe other readers are. Don't ruin the experience for someone by posting comments that are harassing in nature or just plain rude. I'll mute you. I wish I could block you from reading the story completely, but I don't have that power.

You're allowed to be angry with the characters, or you may even hate them from time to time, and that's okay. I want you to. Life isn't all sunshine and roses and books shouldn't be either. People make mistakes and do things that seem irrational, but that's normal.

The characters in this book are young. The female MC is eighteen. I'm not sure about you, but when I was eighteen I did a lot of dumb shit, especially when it came to relationships. (And for those of you saying right now..."I'm not even eighteen yet...hahaha." This book is mature. There are scenes and subject matter that deals with issues that you should be mature to read. I'll pause for a flurry of thirteen/fourteen year-olds to flood my comment section defending their maturity....

Geez, they're still going. I'll give you another minute...

Okay, now that's over with... I hope you enjoy the story. This version is not edited, so I'm sure you'll see typos here and there. Eventually, I'm going to take it down for a few days and clean it up. ( hopefully soon, but I procrastinate a lot )

Most of all, I get a lot of comments at the ending thanking me for writing this. Well, I want to thank all of you for reading. It takes a while to get your story out there on wattpad and I feel incredibly blessed to have so many loyal readers now. I may not be able to respond to all of them, but I read each and every one of your comments, and they do mean something to me. You take the time to share your opinion with me and honestly, it means so much I can't even describe. So.. Thank you!!

Okay, this author's note was long enough. On with the story.
