I, too, loved the growth of Valerie as noted in the line stating that low self-esteem can lead to being self centered. I also believe that changing the last chapter and/direction to please your critics is not a habit to get into. Stay true to you and your vision.

Loved the line in the original update about how low self-esteem can sometimes lead to one being self-centered. So absolutely true, and such a profound recognition. Definitely not exhibited in the traditional sense, but it's very present.
Also, MAJOR kudos for the O-Town inclusion.
Interested in where you go with the revamp.

It's so nice when two broke people can be there for each othe and they stay. So many people run away because that's not what they signed up for.

Dag, I figured it was another update (I know, I'm greedy ... but when it's good ...). Anyway, I still stand by my previous comment. I'm proud of Valerie, and how far she has come. It was a long jorney, but she overcame to hardest hurdle which was to admit that she has problems. I jusy hope that she can overcome those, as weil as the issues that remain with her parents (she needs to tell them what George did to her). I agree with Henry that she needs to spread her wings and leave the nest with respect to working for her father. I also wonder if she'll ever be able to comfront George about what he did to her and how much of an impact it had on her life. Maybe it will help in getting some closure there. Having Henry's support will be very helpful, I'm sure.
I also hope that that Henry's brother will come around as well. Any who ... looking forward to what you have for the rewrite, and what remains of this journey (though, I hate to see it end ... I loved this story ... most definitely one of my fav's <3)

Reviewer: Penelope Signed [Report This]Date: October 03 2015 08:01 pm
SO amazing, as always. I don't really feel like Valerie has regressed. It seems to me she's still wrestling with her demons, which for some is a lengthy battle. And, as great as Henry is being right now, he hasn't always had the most reliable track record. Valerie is a snail - moving at a slow pace and retreating if someone pokes too aggressively. She's made progress though, and I can't wait to see her turning point when she realizes that she will truly be okay.
Sad that this is ending, but so wonderfully happy that you're back. Please update soon!

This is one of the very few stories that I will stalk the chamber for updates. I can so identify with Peaches. It's like I am reading about myself and I want to know how I end up. I can read this story and find something new each time that I read it. Thank you for continuing on with and can't wait for more.

Wow! Great update. Val just needs to take that leap of faith in Hentry. Only two chapters to go? Will you update soon?
Author's Response:

Awww, we are close to the end. I can't wait until she runs towards Henry versus away and she really needs to break the hold George has on her b/c he could care less about her and is living his life without worries. Have to agree with Madea: you holding on to hurt and pain while the person who gave you the pain and hurt is living their life. Too much power. I hope Henry doesn't give up on her and start dating someone else because then she will be very hurt.

I love this story. I love how relatable the characters are. I can't wait to see how the story will end but at the same time I don't want it to end. I don't blame Valarie for being so closed off at time Goerge really screwed her up and Henry pulling a disappearing act on her didn't help any. Some how though I feel like since the death of his father something has changed in Henry and I feel like his going to stick it out with Valarie I just wish that she can over come her insecurities they are hindering her progress. Loved it and I am eagerly anticipating the next update.

So glad you've back!! I'm glad they're together. The time as friends helped cement the true love t hey feel for each other. She's scared, but I think he's reassured her that he really loves her.
Reviewer: Michmom2 Signed [Report This]Date: September 18 2015 09:00 pm
Ughhhh Val is soooo annnnoooooyinngggggggggg. For real. I though that at least towards the ending we will see some progress in this chick. I even ask myself why Henry is still wasting his time with her. She is so indecisive and is still living in the past with what had happened with her ex. Its getting kind of old and she needs to move on. I feel sorry for Henry. He is trying to show her that he cares and wants to be there for her. But like always she push him away. She truly is fucked up.

So glad to see this update. Seems like they're on the right path on establishing their friendship. Val just needs to open up about her fears, and get out of her own way at this point. Great update!

She has regressed, she is allowing fear and het memories if that asshole George to hide her heart. Henry is perfect for Val and he truly loves her. I am annoyed by her lack of progression . Just sad!
Reviewer: pmgayles Signed [Report This]Date: September 18 2015 10:43 am
Wow, that was powerful and extremely sad. Henry needs Val and Val needs Henry. I guess that means that Henry truly forgave hus father because he has nothing to feel guilty for in regards to his father. So good!
