Thank you so much! It means a lot to me, especially because your story (and especially your fourth chapter; despite you not making it into the final round) was really popular =)

Yay! I'm glad at least someone knew it before the fourth chapter =P SO I'm glad you were able to make the connection to the lyrics as the story progressed =)

I'm assuming that going back and reading is just because you like it and want to re-notice small details, not because you don't understand it =P

I'm glad that you liked the small "The Butterfly Song" reference kind of thing, and I'm also glad that you took the time to really notice some of the detailing I added.

I wanted my story to be realistic, but not at the same time (if you understand what I'm saying...) It's like, I wanted there to be a real issue that people face, and not just teenager drama that people think is like the end of the world. Once I eventually decided to base the story off of "Parachute", I really wanted it to be something that actually had some meaning to it, and it makes you think twice a little bit.

With Ally, I had to divulge into her mental state. It wasn't supposed to be which wasn't supposed to be pretty or funny, and I definitely didn't want it to be fake and over-exaggerated (okay, maybe it was a little bit) to the point of ridiculousness.

I'll probably continue writing, but I'm not sure if it'll become an actual career. I won't really work on chapters if I don't have a time limit, but when I do, I think things like Chapter 3 come out... long, awkward and a bit random...

And if you thought that was like an essay.... Chapter 3....

Chapter 3....
