I think this is a great story so far

LightPrevails, I see you haven't updated in a while but if you read this, I just want you to know that for the past week, your writing and characters have kept me content with life. Like there is something to look forward to everyday. I've just finished reading the chapter where Hannah passes away so I'm not done yet. Just saving some for everyday, you know? Love the writing style, the dialogues and most of all, your characters. Seriously, i don't even mind the typos or grammatical mistakes. When I read your stories, I can't help but imagine everything happening right in front of me. How I cried when Hannah died! I was hoping to read more about her adorable little antics but then.. :'( I'd certainly miss her. She felt almost tangible the first few chapters.
Mary is arguably the most relatable character I've come across. I don't know why but her thoughts are just too..too deviated? At times I seem to want to personally help her do or figure out what she wants to, and there are instances I just want to whack her on the forehead! A very interesting person.
And ahhhh! I'm torn between Bastion and Leon. Bastion I love because idk, he sounds a little psychotic and I kinda find that endearing lol. That and his dad's abuses, I'd want to save him too if I was in Mary's shoes. And Leon, well.. He's just what every girl needs I believe.. After Hannah's death, I've just come to love him a little too much. And if I were Mary, Lord knows I'd keel over and die before I choose one of them.
And I would've felt blessed to have friends like Harry, Melody, Ryan and Vida. They're all awesome in their own ways. I love that you keep them real (y)
There were times I was a little apprehensive as to what was going on at the Welles' what with the vague descriptions of Bastion with some girls, his sisters I presumed. But I trust him and I trust you lol so I'm hoping nothing along the lines of incest (...) occur..hmph
Anyhoo I guess you don't visit fictionpress anymore or not as often as before but I just wanted to say "thank you for making my week" I really mean it. I'd have been ecstatic to have you as a friend. But this, this will do :) keep writing and spreading whatever you do with your stories i hope your college life has been good to you. oh and if you can, please update hehe

Ugh, I have finally found this story after all these years! And promptly ignored all my work to reread it:( But it was worth it. It's an amazing story, just the right amount of mystery and romance. I have an idea of what happened within the Welles family, but I can't be sure. Anywho, I know that there is a sequel up, so I will continue to read this story instead of doing my work. It seems that you haven't updated it in a few years, but hopefully the mystery will be revealed within the chapters that are currently up. If not, then I implore you to please finish it and put many of us out of our misery. It is your duty as an amazing writer.

Yay! I was demanding that sequel! I was going to say "Hey LightPrevails, give me that sequel!" then give you my sternest look so you would comply.

I'm so glad I didn't have to get physical with you ;)

A SEQUEL! IT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA!

Uh-oh...this cant be good.

Aww, such a sad chapter. Poor Hannah :'(

Bastion is a bastard son!

Am I totally off or hitting the mark?

Darn! I need to keep reading!

Gah! You people are despicable... I wish we were on the beach, so I could kick sand on you!

If I was a lion and you were gazelles, I would eat you!

You look like something on the bottom of my shoe!

Your like mosquitos, buzzing in my ear!

Okay, i'm better now. Great chapter!

I dont get why she's so afraid of her own feelings. Gah woman!

Oh no Bastion! Stay away from the light!

The only real grammar mistake I see is that sometimes you put "are" instead of "our" but it's not a big deal and doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I pretty much do similar things with my stories. I get so excited about writing a chapter that I occasionally forget (or get too lazy) to spell check because I immediately want to put it up.

Happens to the best of us ;)

I am really hoping that something happens between Mary and Leon because I really like him. But I like Bastion too.

Decisions, decisions...

Aww, I wanted that kiss to last forever.

(And you're really responding to my reviews quick, I like that!) Lol.

Onward to the next chapter I go.

What fight with Julie? Was that in chapter 19 and I missed it? Or is that the failed speech?

Die Mr. Welles! Die!

Muahahahahaha!

I think you're doing a great job protraying you're character's feelings. I am just so glad this story is complete so that I dont have to wait for the next update.

I am going to hate the ending though.

NOT because of your writing, but because I wont want this story to end. Boo! :(
