1. I completely, whole-heatedly, 110% agree with you. I think Derek Rose is exactly how you described him: humble, kind, focused, etc. My version of Derek is a complete 360 in comparison to the actual person. I honestly didn't intend for his personality to come out the way it is. However, that's just the way it's been coming out. That being said, sometimes in life, unforeseen circumstances and tragic events can often cause people to mature. I think, as the story progresses, Derek will, eventually, have to grow up.

2. Good Lord. You are correct. I am from Fiction Press....and Fan Fiction (which I beg of you not to try to look me up). I've been on the wring scene since I was twelve. Haha. Yes, "Fall For You" is also another one of my stories. I think about returning and trying to finish that story, all the time. I'd probably want to start over completely though, revise and edit, ya know? Maybe. 

3. Umm. You should know that I completely started fangirling when I saw your name. You're the same AwardedEmmy who wrote Make It Nasty, right? I started reading that when it only had....like 5 chapters. I suppose you've finished it by now? I must finish reading it when I get time.....Anyway, can I just say how extremely shocked I am that YOU, being the amazing author you are, like my story. Especially "Fall For You," which really isn't written all that well. I swear, when I saw your review this morning, it was all I could think about during school. Yes, it made me that happy.

Okay, I'll stop rambling. Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate it!
