abuseFirst off, I clicked on this story because it looked interesting and I saw the Brand New lyrics. I love Brand New and I just knew I had to read on. I really like this so far. And I love the name Marcus - a plus there. I found one error, a typo:

“I…” he started slowly, looking up at me slowly with his hazel eyes. “I need you help,” he mumbled, defeated. “And I need it bad.”
It should be "I need YOUR help."

Other than that, I saw a few grammar errors, but nothing really huge. I really am interested to see where you go with this. Cliché or not, it IS interesting. And honestly, there are hardly any stories that are profound and groundbreaking these days because so many plots have been done. I wouldn't say that it's not new because everyone puts a spin on an idea differently.

abuseThis seems like a good start… you have a unique writing style and beautiful imagery, as well as insight as to what your character feels. Not many authors can do that.

Her interaction with Marcus seemed to happen quite early. I understand that this can only help to move the plot forward and add more conflict in the earlier chapters, but it seems quite sudden.

My other comment involves the swearing at the end. Putting it in dialogue is only natural, people tend to swear whenever they’re angry or just in general. Having it describe an emotion is different.

abuseOh, I like how the tension is slowly building up. Nice work. And Marcus is back in the story - you're doing a wonderful job at creating curiosity about him.
The one thing I would suggest is to maybe add in some more description of setting - I had a hard time imagining where Melaney is.
Anyway, that's all.

abuseHey there. Sorry for not reviewing earlier, but I'm finally here! haha. Nice chapters, I can see how the story is starting to evolve. I'm really intrigued about what's going to happen next.
Oh Marcus Flutie! I'm so in love with that character and I really love the name haha. well... I dunno... every complex character reminds me a bit of Marcus Flutie so it comes as no surprise that Marcus Foster reminds me a bit of him. haha.
Lovely chapters.

abuseI think you did a wonderful job with this chapter. I think the new scene with Tommy really adds to it - it brings him back and gives him a new purpose in the story, as well as sparks some more interest in what's going on.
Anyway... just dropping in to let you know that I read this chapter again. =] As always, drop me an email whenever you write the next one!

abusei feel so identified with her, when her father is practically screaming at her why can't you be normal?, i really like your story, i don't think your character is cliche at all

abuseWow sorry I took so long to review...was distracted by books! But... oh lord, I can't actually believe that! I can't believe he just came out with that. I don't even know what to say now, but this was a good chapter, and oh yes...I must express my utter dislike for Melaney's dad because he is one major asshole, and I think he deserves a slap straight across his face for being such a crappy Dad. Poor Melaney, I wonder what's going to happen next, I hope you'll update soon x

abuseHaha, excellent. I suddenly remembered about the chapter after doing pretty much nothing all day, and I thought to myself: I am a sucky beta. Ahh well, so goes life. Email me the next chappie whenever you write it, and hopefully I won't forget about it. =D
