Yes! Yes! Yes! My heart literally thumped when I saw the update!!! I missed your story sooooo much! But its quality quenched my thirst..

But I must confess that I'm really torn now. I reasonably thought that Sierra needed to collect herself by herself to overcome her drug addiction. That's logical since Jake is so important in her life that a mere word or facial expression from him(I know, I'm exaggerating...but hey, it's on point!) which upset her, could have the "power" to make her relapse. Or at least be the triggering factor. But now, seeing that she just wanted to end her life to make it better for her family/firends....I can't help but think that she on the contrary needs his support....

Even if Jake is indeed cheating on Monica with Sierra, this last scene was so sweet, he loves her so much. I think he doesn't even realize the depth of his love for her. Since he always shrugs off Finch/Monica's accusations and get all definsive. Now, he owe her excuses. I'm eager to see her reaction..I mean, if he ever plan to tell her...

I can't wait to see Maksim in action. I don't know how to picture him but think of Christian Bale (in Out of the Furnace or Batman). Wiil you post a photo of him! I have yet to know his connection with Sierra's family....But, Viktor is in deep sh..t now! eh..eh..eh..I hope he'll make justice for Neema. Her being in hospital is heartbreaking, Sierra must stay at her side and not to something stupid.

Thanx so much for sharing, I can't wait to read what happens next!

I've been waiting so long for you to updat and you finally did. This was a great chapter, and I hope you update soon.

Author's Response:

I will. Next chapter coming soon!

I can't say thank you enough. I have missed thiss story and you didn't dissapoint.

Please update.

This was the sugady!!

Oh no!! I wonder what Viktor will do to Neema, he's always up to no good!! Though, I wonder about Maksim's past, what does it have to do with Sierra's parents and Neema?! Monica is in big big trouble, she should have learned not to appraoch Sierra. Jake's reaction is so sweet...I just love Finch's advise for a threesome!! He's so into Monica, nobody noticed it. It's been a while, I hope everything's fine. Thanx for sharing this extra good story!!!

This is my favorite chapter! Can't wait for the next one.

Nice twist with Neema & Maxsim; I did not see that coming but I'm excited about it. 2 great updates w/in days, thank you!!

Good story.

I literally thought my mind was playing tricks on me but, you're back!! As is Maksim....and the drama. Which I live for. Lol.

Oh, I'm so glad to read this story again. Thanks for updating. And what a chpater! I am so proud of Sierra. I really, really hope she can keep her way back from the hole she fell into a mere year ago. She's doing so good. I really root for her to get better. I don't even want any getting back with Jake. Sh eneeds to be her own person. She need time to grow and strengthen by herself, with friends and family supporting her. And I like that she is not hanging on the hope to get back with Jake anymore. She seemns ready to move on and do things for her own sake. So happy.

Also, Maksim better be back to give some serious as whopping to his unsufferable brother. that Vikto, that little piece of shit. I hope he get karma bitched real good!

I'm in agreement with Daddyprincess review. I think it would be good for Sierra to find someone new who won't throw her past in her face each time their is a disagreement or who she feels she has to constantly tiptoe around or kowtow to.  I like Maksim with her because I don't think he will ridicule her because of his past and will help her become a stronger person.  Who needs to be around people who don't want her to improve and will constantly remind her of her mistakes, just look at Finch's thoughts.  If they are thinking it, then their actions will begin to show that each time they hang out.  Everyone seems to forget for anyone it is always about perception, regardless of reality.  If you perceive someone won't understand that becomes your reality and Sierra's perception was completely off but it is what it is and everyone needs to either accept that as she is getting help or stay away and stunt her recovery.  Very good story pulling out all of our emotions and our On my way! perceptions.

I want Sierra to grow on her own and away from everyone in town. I also want Maksim to kill Victor and potentially be with Sierra... Is that wrong? I want a completely new person for Sierra. Yeah she has made some mistakes but sometimes you need to grow from it and not let people continually punish you, which is what Jake will do. Loving the story and can't wait for the next update.
