I was scared that this would end somewhere terrible, considering its not labeled as complete, so I'm very, very happy now :) Aside from that; this story is absolutely amazing! Its short and sweet, but far from boring, and you wrote the characters brilliantly! I loved it, thank you soooo much for writing this :D

Lovely story so far. Toby is strong and a beautiful soul. Ian is growing on me but his standoffish attitude towards Toby is grating on my nerves. Update soon

i love this stories and wanted more. Ever considering a sequel? well, for both you banane and shadows, hope you still here... i'll be glad to wait for your next work

I really love how realistic your characters are with their very believable flaws and different personalities. Great story :D

This story is cute. When he pulled the trigger it scared me half to death!
It's a good thing I came when part 2 was created. I don't think I could stand to wait
I'm inspired by you :'), you make me proud 3

Wow.

This is absolutely amazing - it's a shame that it hasn't been continued. :(

If it ever is, I so look forward to reading more!

This was absolutely awesome! I wish there was a sequel. There's so much more to tell. What about the rest of the school year? College? I really really like this story. I wish you were still around. Are you around here somewhere? Please come back. Please...and write a sequel! Please.

I want the epilogue !

How much do I have to pay!?

I decided that I will just write one massive review on not just the two parts of the finale, but the entire story in all

I've reached the end of the most amazing love story I ever read! I can't believe I read this all in one sitting! The relationship these two have was romantic, painful, but ultimately depressing. I didn't expect a happy ending. The entire story in general was one hell of an emotional roller coaster. From the first chapter to chapter 22, the characters changed almost entirely. They evolved and matured, but now it is at an end. I had a few concerns, like the fact there are no adults ever present or the relationship between Izzy and Ian...

There are so many unanswered questions!
Will Ian ever tell Toby the original purpose of the gun?
Will Toby ever know what Ian did after prom?
Will they ever find happiness?

I'm scared to know what happens after this. I really am. Like I said, happy endings don't exist. I don't know if you will update this, but that doesn't seem feasible, considering it hasn't been updated in 4 years. I just want to say, thank you for the story, I loved reading it. I hope this isn't the end of this story, I look forward to an update in the near future!

ouch and Ian is treated like garbage :(

It seems the universe is against Ian and Toby :(

Toby's apology was beautiful. It was well-written, amazing, and original. This is one of the highights of this story! And it seems like I'm near the finale, just 2 more chapters to go! I really don't want this to end!

Ian possibly had sex with his psycho friend Izzy: CHECK
Toby doesn't know: CHECK
Izzy is still an ass to Maggie, despite being on meds to supress his violent urges: CHECK
Toby makes an attempt to apologize, then gets shut down: CHECK
Realization that Toby is trying to apologize when it was obviously Ian's fault: CHECK

Still rooting for Toby :(

Poor toby. What Ian did is far worse! And his pathetic comeback on why he gets jealous is because Toby is forced to disguise the fact he's gay by hanging out with girls! And Toby even came out to the entire school (it wasn't tht successful but it was a decent attempt) and Ian blew him off. And then he cheats on Toby by... possibly... sleeping with his deranged friend Izzy. Way to rub salt on the wound ian :(

That's cold... going out with your friend instead of his boyfriend. I understand it is social sicide, but Toby seems willing to make tht sacrifice! Seems like Ian isn't ready to make that sacrifice for the one person who loves him.

Yikes, Izzy is back and he knows the secret... *gulp*

I like how Toby only shows his true colors to Ian, like the fact that even though he's almost 18, he still is excited about opening presents on Christmas!
