i have been reading for some time now, it's been ok so far since this chapter, too much drama. these girls have too much baggage. i'm surprised Maria still hasn't killed herself really! why isn't she even on therapy, and Brooke getting raped means her vagina has grown it's own head? so therefore she can't control whom she has s3x with and her vagina decided to do another man?

I like this story! Its good!

and I couldn't tell you

why she felt that way

she felt it every day

and I couldnt help her

I just watched her make the same

mistakes again

Whats wrong

whats wrong now?

too many

too many problems

Dunno Where she belongs

where she belongs

she wants to go home

but nobodys home

its where she lies

broken inside

her feelings she hides

her dreams she cant find

shes loosing her grace

shes all over the place- a- ace

this story is so good!

I just spent the past like, four hours reading it (:

haha, you're a wicked good writer and yeah... xD

love it

I loved it, you really did an amazing job with this story. I read it in one sitting it was so good! Great job!

hey gr8 story rly enjoyed readin it pls let me knw if u hav any othr free reads

I'd just like to say I enjoyed reading your story. I liked the story line and the way you showed the world of a totured 16 year old soul. I liked how the emotions were raw and real, I actually felt the pain Maria felt. The only thing bad I have to say is I didn't really like Maria's character that much. She was rather whiney, pampered, spoiled, and too caught up in self pitty. She was too helpless, I guess I'm not too fond of girly girls, LOL. You're characters, to me seemed a little to soap operah. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, or I wouldn't have continued reading it to the end. I just wished you could have made the characters a little less fake or should I say cliche. :/ Though I have to say, Jake is my favorite above all! I hope you don't take this as being too harsh. I think you're a wonderful writer and I hope you continue creating, so I can continue reading. Perhaps next time you can create a character who's more ruggid, edgy, and not scared of spiders, LOL! It's too bad Maria's father was such a childish, cold hearted, ass. I really hope this story wasn't based on actual or similar events.

Keep on with the writing.

Cheers!

omg this story was so good...made me cry in a few parts...laugh in to maney places to count as i know how its is to date ur brothers best friend and have hik freek out about it...funniest time i had ...keep up the amazing writting...

Hey! :)

Well, I really liked this epilogue, like any other chapter you've written. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of Andrew (somewhat) till the very last scene - but then, I'm glad you chose to focus on Maria and her relationship with her dad, because that's the pinnacle of the story, ultimately. If Maria's dad hadn't drove into the pole, the story wouldn't be there!

I'm really going to miss Maria, Andrew (and teh hawtness), Jake (the guy's quirkiness is one of my favourite things about SCC), Brooke and Bright (I really, really hope they have a nice white picket wedding someday and have lots of babies :D btw, I really liked the sexual tension thing too... haha, rather amusing), and all the other characters. You've shaped them well and made them who they are, which is something I love about the story too. I'm glad that you have a second project - I'm going to enjoy how you bring Sophia and the other characters into life too!

Well, once again, fabulous epilogue :) I'm rather tired now so I'll probably stop here, got to freshen up for the land of Oz tomorrow! I'll try to send a last email to you before I go. x)

Louisa

yay! you finished it! congradulations! excellent job!

hi, I've found this story and I like it so far. I always loved the 'my brother's best friend' thing haha

Hello there!

I really like the story line, and the characters are good too. But I think that maybe a little bit of emotion, you know, like what exactly what Maria might be feeling, also maybe slow down the events, it's going really fast I believe.

That's just what I think, though, so don't take it seriously.

...Once upon a time...

Mom: Hey, honey, how was your day?

Duccia: It was good, but not as good as the last chapter of SCC...

Mom: ?... Okay, so, would you like some carrots with your meat sweetiepie?

Duccia: Oh, I would love them... Just like Maria loves Andrew...

Mom: ...I see... What about one more slice of pizza?

Duccia : One? Oh, yeah... Andrew is definitely The One...

Mom: Okay, enough... *dialing number*... Hello, doctor? It's me...Yeah, here we go... Again ...

Lien dearest, you should be proud of youself... According to my shrink, you managed to turn me into a SCC-aholic... Sympthoms are getting even worse now after this great, wonderful, awesome, amazing, stunning... (I've run out of synonyms... Where's a dictionary when you need it?) chapter... Shrink dearest says that ther is only a cure (beside years of therapy... But already been there, done that... See the results by yourself...)... AN EPILOGUE ASAP! Otherwise, I'll get worse, I'll die, I'll become a ghost and I'll haunt your dreams during stormy nights... (I'm such a drama queen... LOL...)... Your choice, my dear... Your choice...

THE BEAST WITH TWO BACKS HAS COME! You dealt with it perfectly... I mean, I'm not exactly the kind of girl who gets embarassed easily ( I even managed to sing and dance a Destiny's Child's song on a train full of people... And no, I hadn't lost a bet, it was just for fun... But I'm digressing...), but I have to say that I don't like too graphic sex scenes... But yours, my dear, was perfect... And then, as I've already told you, with Maria and Andrew, is not only about sex, it's about love... *insert heart shaped eyes here, please*...

So folks, who is our brave handsome hero? Right folks, Jake is! Seriously, that guy rocks! He managed to get rid of Charlie- boy ( *insert disgusted face here...*) and he saved the damsel in distress... Superman'd better learn a trick or two from him... And just like every worthy of the name hero, he needs a chick at home waiting for him... You know, the funny, smart, sarcastic kind of girl... Have I ever told you that I'm single?

Brooke & Bright... SQUE! Finally a certain someone stpped being a moron and followed auntie Duccia's advices... And Duccia is a very very proud aunt, right now... So, after everything they went through, they can have their happily ever after too... Sigh... *blowing nose sound *... I love happy endings...

I actually felt sorry for Charlie's mom... I know that she made a mistake offering Brooke money, treating her cheaply, but she was upset and she was only trying to make up for her son's actions... Like every mother would have done... She only chose the wrong way...

“I have a present for you,” Andrew said right before kissing me on the lips, making me look up in surprise.

A present? I love getting presents!

“Where is it?” I asked excitedly.

“In my pants,” my boyfriend answered simply.

RMAO! Andrew... You are a genious! And you have even taste when jewels are concerned... ( and believe me, most of the guys usually can't even distinguish a pair of earrings from a lamp... Sad, I know...) Classy, simple, silver necklace... Yeah, everything is perfect for you now, my little Maria... Just like it should be...

Now I have to go... I'm looking forward to reading your last chapter... (OMG, we're already at the end... I'm gonna cry, I know...)... Take care of yourself, my dear friend... The sun will come out tomorow... Bet your bottom... ;P

Your loyal reader,

Duccia ;)

HELLO! I'm finally here!

Okay, first of all, I just want to express my utmost love for this chapter. It's love like Wentworth Miller worthy, which is uber good! :D I have to say that M rated scenes were never my type of scene to write, but I like the way you write it. Like I said, it's so much better than the other sex scenes you see in other stories because of the chemistry between Andrew and Maria. It was natural for their relationship to progress to that level, and I'm glad Maria managed to get rid of her self-consciousness. As for Brooke and Bright, the scene between them was also very squeal-worthy. I kind of think Charlie's mom was being a little dramatic... but still, if I were her, I'd try my best to make up for my son's mistake too. If she'd looked after him better, he wouldn't have turned out that way. Just good that Brooke has Bright to look after her!

Also, the necklace Andrew gave Maria was gorgeous! Simple yet classy. Okay, I realised that's in the chapter, lol. Hands Down is a nice song too, but I don't like the normal version. :)

Okay, I think I'll go to bed soon, it's 10.40 PM now. I'll reply your email tomorrow if I can! I'm super lethargic now. Looking forward to seeing that epilogue!
