LOVE IT! This was such a great story! I love how there was always so much going on, but in the end Ally and Cole's feelings for each other shined through! I really enjoyed reading this story! You are such an excellent author and I hope you continue writing through whatever happens in your life! Good luck writing and with life and everything! LOVE THE STORY!

Love,

At the end of the flashback in this chapter it says "Nick smiled, thinking about that picture." I believe this is supposed to say Cole. I thought you'd like to know. I'll formally review when I finish, but so far I love the story!

Love,

read the entire thing and found myself crying like a blubbering fool. honestly hate steph she drives me crazy

loving all you stuff so far!

Great! Another Cole-Ally date! ]

Ah you took this story off! Guess I have to buy it now! :o)

It was a sweet ending. I think we've established that I'm a sucker for happy endings by now.

Anyway, I wanted to point out that you did a good job in describing the boys. However, you keep leaving out Parker a lot even when mentioning the band, and he's kind of like a ghost in the story.

P.S. The only reason I asked if the criticism is okay is because I've had some nasty reactions to it in the past. Once someone flipped and issued an A/N chapter saying that she was an idiot when I just pointed out why something happened in the TV series she was writing about (after she asked the question in her A/N!). Suddenly there had to be a flurry of reviews to calm her down and then people tried to tell me I wasn't right, simply to appease and comfort her.

I find critical reviews have helped me a lot, and sometimes I just want to know what I did wrong or what I could do better. I really appreciate it (not flaming) and that's why I love sharing it. :)

It's interesting to see that Cole and Ally don't have an easy relationship. A lot of stories show the characters knowing exactly how to handle it transition from best friends to lovers, while here you've gone a different route.

I also read this and I know exactly what's going through Ally's mind with Stephanie's arrival. I'm that one girl who hangs out with the guys, and when another girl comes in not as one of the guy's girlfriends but someone who's just another friend like you, it makes you uneasy and like your position in the group is threatened. Irrational, I know because I've outlasted all of them, but inevitable.

Hey, I went on Lulu to order this and I cant find it. I clicked on your name and only the other two came up. Can you send me the link?

OMG LOVE IT! kinda surprised me though to get a message saying there was another chapter, but definitely a good one D

Hey, I enjoyed the story. Thanks for posting, and I REALLY can't believe this was supposed to be a one-shot...

How is this a sequel to whatever it was, by the way?

“He said ‘hi big mouth’,” Nick told her with a smirk.

I just noticed something. Isn't that supposed to be Cole there?

I absoluetly adore this story! Its a wonderful from the plot to the charcters... just everything! You have me hooked and I know that this story was written a while ago but its still funny when I read your little author notes like I also read PCfAR and Bt and when you were talking about the Nickelback concerts and what you might do it was hilarious. You are an amazing author and I usually only read yaoi but Iz, Jake, Ally and Cole are to cute! You totally have another fan!

So in the story you said that Cole is a sophomore..in..college? and Ally's a freshman.

But then in the character list in the end it says that Cole is 18 and a senior, and Ally is junior. just a bit confused..

Second time reading this also, and i got so into it. I think its the amount of drama and angst, but i was tearing up and feeling so angry on Allys behalf, when none of them were speaking with her. Although that meant that i wasnt that happy when she quite easily forgave them, so i would have liked to know a bit more about how she felt, as they were reconciling (sp?) because they hadnt spoken or seen eachother for ages and that must be huge for friends that have grown up together.

I dont usuall like high school stories, but i love yours, theyre always so gripping, the only problem i do have is that sometimes i wish the characters feelings and emotions are explored more. Although, as i said, you did not have a problem inspiring emotions in me in this story, i was literally so angry at the guys during the fight :D
