I can relate to that. Boys are stupid sometimes. Although I was hoping it'd have a happy ending, I can understand. Great oneshot.

*cries*

Gosh. I was hoping for a happy ending...

...It's actually blueish purple now...but okay. :D
Loved it.
I enjoyed the descriptions, details and, of course, plot.
*goes on to read more of your oneshots*

so sad, but a beautiful ending

wow this is really good but i gotta say i'm a lil bit disapointed in the ending. I'm a hopeless romantic and i really really wanted him to say he liked her back. But thats not the way its supposed to end - but hey snaps for you, you made me sad, so you prolly got the reaction you wanted.Anyway i just wanted to say good job

cant begin to tell you how much that hit the mark. cheers for all those who got their heart broken, life keeps moving, and u jump right back into the groove.

**. you should do a prequel, or at least tell me what really happened.

no! why did he walk away? boys are stupid. this is really sad.

OMFG, a new story from my Elle-Belle? I is so excited!1one

haha. seriously, though, can't wait.

and, DUDE, why haven't I read this yet? this seems like it could fit right into my "love story" and work perfectly fine.

oh, elle, darling, why are we so much alike?

" ‘This’ is letting him hit on her when there’s no one else around, ‘this’ is late night phone conversations and shared secrets, ‘this’ is the heartbreak of being ignored in school the day after sharing her worst fears, ‘this’ is promises to hang out on the weekend that are always broken..."
i relate so much to this fic and what "this" encompasses are the very thoughts that went through my head. Very realistic one shot
its even more hurtful because he doesnt realise what he's doing to her. he's taken advantage but is too selfabsorbed to notice that anything is wrong

Incredibly good. And so incredibly sad. I loved it. *snif*

Woah. I found this off the one-shots C2. Nice ending. Not exactly 'happily ever after' but somehow, it feels like the _right_ ending. I like how you develop their background throughout the piece instead of explaining it right off the bat but I was a little confused by the nature of their relationship at first...something about the wording made me incorrectly think that it was abusive...maybe make it clearer that their friends with benefits?

To be honest, I didn't like the guy. I felt sorry for the narrator and when he walked away, I thought 'well, you're better off without him!' I'm not sure if that's the reaction towards the guy you're going for though. If it isn't, maybe develop some of his good qualities?

Nice. The ending is very well done.

I was really touched by this story, in part because I've been this girl, and I wish that I'd had the guts to actually say it the way she did. It ended so realistically, instead of forcing a happy ending.

One thing annoys me, though. In this line: "And ‘this’ encompasses so much, so much obscurity, so much assumed ad left unsaid." Is the 'ad' supposed to be 'and'?

OMG, i really like this, in fact it it is going straight to my favourites. I really could picture and imagine all of her mixed feelings about this guy. oh so powerfully written!

I love your work. I love all of your one-shots, and "Chasing Mussolini" is positively amazing. PS Please update. Anyways, I just felt the need to review this one tonight because this is exactly how I feel in a particular situation right now. Keep up the awesome work. :)
