Title: QUESTION

For I would like to see the a chapter in He Ry's POV because maybe it would give us insight to what he is truly feeling. I know he explained part of who he is to Val, and it gave me some helpful information but I feel like it's always one sided only because we don't get to see Henry's feelings when Val pushes him away. At the end of the last chapter we could feel for Val because Henry hadn't called or txted but I think there is a bigger picture as to why he hadn't done it. At the end of the day it would be interesting to see how it plays into the flow of the story.

Title: QUESTION

The way you have written your story has been done in such an outstanding form  that I feel as though I know Henry, therefore Henry's POV is not needed, imo. 

Henry is scared; scared of loving Val and scared of comittment to any woman.  He don't want to be like his father, but that is who he is emulating.  His early example of love came from his parents; that example was nothing to brag on. 

Even though Henry has issues, his POV won't change the fact that he hurt Val, badly.   Now the worst thing was when she saw him on the Internet... I wouldn't want to know Henry's POV--he spilled his guts, was super affectionate, introduced her to his family, rocked her world, gave her a kitty, and then disappeared to show up much later on the Internet smiling and happy. 

Even if Henry was in the hospital or in jail he would have ascess to a phone, so there is no excuse. Nah, a POV is not required, Henry just needs to come correct, with knee pads.

sidenote:  i saw you had put in an update and I got all excited.   Before clicking on update I wanted to enjoy this and got myself a PB&J and made a smoothie...clicked on it and saw QUESTION, Giiirrrll...

Title: QUESTION

I would love a chapter in his PoV. Everyone is wondering why he keeps hurting Val. I want to know how he feels about her. He may say he's falling for her, but that could just be to make her happy.

Title: QUESTION

I was wondering why you did not write in Henry's POV more. I think you did one chapter in his POV before and I liked it. If it wasn't a whole chapter it was a section where it was his POV, I think. Maybe you were just talking about doing it, but I thought for sure I read his point of view at the beginning of the story. Anyway, I think incorporating his POV would be nice. It would be nice to know what Henry is thinking and feeling because we all know what Val is thinking, lol! It would help explain why he does what he does. Even though most of us can read his issues and what might be holding him back, it would be helpful to actually know from his POV. I cannot wait for another update!

Title: QUESTION

Instead of Jason POV, make it a third party POV, to lend an unbiased and abject development of Jason's story.  No judgment but mere rendition of his story.  Quite frankly jason has been a dizzying ride, and I really need an independent viewpoint, why would he could not have a decency to acknowledge a simple text or phone call.

Title: Prologue

I would like to read a chapter in Henrys POV so that I can understand how he feels about Val and why he disappears without any word.he gives me mixed signals . Ultimately,  the story is Val's so I want to keep reading her POV.  great job with the story. While val is not completely changed, I feel that she has made some progress due to Henry being apart of her life in a way. I hope they can get it together!

a chapter from Henry's pov would perhaps allow a duality in how we see their story as a whole. One poignant perspective to shade your mind while reading in hers. I love it!

Well first thing first you can't go asking questions right here because that's just  plain mean because I was all extra excited about an update when I saw this in most recent.I'm just kidding.This story is one of my faves.  But getting to the question of course we would love to hear from Henry. I really want to know why he runs so hot and cold. Can't wait for an update.

Title: QUESTION

I think you should do a chap in his pov. I think it would help clear up a lot of things too. I always wanted to know what was running through his mind because right now I kind of don't like him because he's hurting Valerie just as bad as her ex did in a way. By the way I love this story. You had me all giddy thinking this was an update lol but I would love to see Valerie hit him with the Houdini trick like he does her.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Okay, last post, I promise, I think..., lol! That's why Henry wanted Val to keep Apples, he knew what he was going to do, he knew he was going to end things the moment they probably got thru doing it, lol, but dropping her off and actually verbalizing she take Apples, so she could have a piece of him and he keep Peaches so he could have a piece of her confirmed it. I hope he knew what he was doing (he doesn't) because Peaches may be all he will ever have that reminds him of Val and not from his lack of trying to get back with her either, once the mood strikes. I think Val may be threw and not because Henry is a horrible person, but because he just isn't the relationship type.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

OMG, I feel for her it is so hard to care for someone like that. The worst part is because you care you let them in again after they ignore you. The best thing to do is to move on and don't accept his future calls and contact because he will contact her again.  I know this is just a story but parts like what he just did is so real and close to home. Maybe in the story there will be a happy ending however,  sadly in real life more times than not there is not. I can't wait to see what you will do. I personally hope she moves on with someone else. She already has a lot of emotional issues,  I think he might long term break her with the hot and cold treatment.  excellent update.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

You converted me in this chapter.. There are moments when I want to throttle Valerie and Henry.  but the vulnerabilty that flows between them is beautiful. I'm not even sure if they are right for each other but they fit for right now. Henry's love for his family is sweet and only endears him further to me but this thing will falling off the planet after mind blowing orgasms.mhmm let me really think about this why is Valerie mad again. Every time he pops up she pops off but I digress. I absolutely loved the emotion in this chapter and I was pleasantly surprised when Valerie found her voice for Henry's sister and  didn't succumb to  her unhealthy habits. She is growing into herself. Loved it.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

I knew something like this would happen, lol! Val is scared and so is Henry. Now, that does not make what Henry did right. Ignoring her, really? But hey, he's still on 'it's too soon' to love Valerie because boyfriend almost slipped and said it. I can understand his fear of that too. He has a pretty good feeling that Val as been hurt, even though Val tried to play dumb. So what makes him think him ignoring her is going to open her up? Well, I hope he plans on staying away forever because I don't think he is going to get back in as quick as he did last time and last time I think Val gave in too easy. He would not take no for an answer when she tried to leave. He knew he messed up and he tried to act all nonchalant about it and say she was the one upset, which she had reason to be.

Henry plays games. I still like Henry, but he plays games, he is insecure, and scared of to love Val.  I understand where he is coming from, although he is very well off, he has been through alot and Val is like a healing balm for him and he does not know how to treat her or deal with her. He's suspicious as he put it. Val does not play games, but she has her issues too, although hers aren't as bad as Henry's, well they could be, but Val tries to work on her issues. I was so proud of her for not throwing up her food. Val tries.

I hope with Henry doing this, it does not set her back. She is strong and she will be fine without Henry. She is hurt now. That is to be expected. She really liked Henry. Hell, she may even love him too. But it can be hard loving someone who is hot and then cold when things get too intense or you never know where they are coming from. This is what Henry does, #od love him. He'll let go and bare his soul then retreat because he can't handle the emotions. It's childish, but it's how he deals and I can almost bet he has been with other women trying to forget Val during their time apart, then maybe not, they are not exclusive I know, but at this point it does not matter. As much as I love Henry he messed up. I hope Val moves on and I do not mean to someone else, that's not healthy, especially what she is feeling for Henry, at least not yet. She has to be happy with and for herself and I believe she can be.

Val and Henry are bound to run into each other and when they do, I hope Val is not upset/angry/mad with Henry. She does not have to go out of her way to talk to him, but if they are in a position where pleasantries are appropriate to be made, she says hi, asks how he's been, make little chatter, and move on and says all of this without smoke coming out of her ears or hurt lingering in her eyes. Because if I know Henry he will be with someone else anyway, lol. This may be hard for Val considering her character and how embarrassed and frustrated she gets, but she can do it. I don't care this will floor Henry, because I think he expects Val to lose her stuff when he's around especially how she lost it the last time he went MIA. She was PISSED and I cannot blame her and Henry knows how to deal with a pissed, hurt, and frustrated Valerie. He knows all the right words to say and make the day end with Val screaming his name, lol. He is good, but does he know how to deal with a calm, cool, and collected Val, almost uncaring. Not in a mean way, but when you know how a person is, you can't keep setting yourself up for hurt especially if you've been down this road before. Which Val has.

Some may say Val should have told Henry that she was hurt and maybe he would not have ignored her. Maybe, maybe not. But that is very doubtful. Gosh Val, you can do this. Please don't make Val bitter. If Henry wants Val he needs to show some sign this time around and Val should not give in. Not because she is playing games or hard to get, but because she needs to know he his serious. Until that happens, Val should treat him and an associate, a friend of a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. Sorry for the length, I could not help it. Awesome update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Maybe it is just me but Call and Henry are both some what damaged goids they both are afraid if commitment fir different reasons. Henry doesnt want to be hus father its why he tries so hard not to get close to anything or anyone. Val has yet to ooen up about her past and her insecuruties. And until she dies Henry will always be out of reach to her.Henry disappearing for weeks at a time...hmm I think Val should give him the benefit of the doubt instead of lumping him un with that douche George. I mean there dB can be several differsnt reason as to why her calls and text have gone unanswered even though she has seen what he has been up to inline. The benefit of the doubt is what seems to come to mind for me. And maybe its me but Henry opened up is a big deal, but Val is still closed off to him, so maybe he thinks she doesnt feel the same way that he does. He seems to be trying tio tell her something without saying the words or scaring hed off because hs saud, "Someone hurt you..." And instead of Val being honest she makes it about the sexual position. So instead of me feeling bad for Val, or me saying Henry what the F***, I going to say Val you cant expect Henry to know where you two stand if you are afraid to show him who you are. And Henry you cant be afraid shut down out of fearm its why your parents didnt work and  instead of trying your hardest not to be like them, you have to stop running. You want Val but you are afraid if those feelings well so is she. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Wow! I have to say this story floors me. I went back to read the prologue again. Based on this chapter and I believe 12, I get her thoughts. Val made a leap of faith, let her guard down and now we see she isnt the guarded one. She is so brave, possesses such strength it only comes out when you pay attention. Kudos to you! When a reader returns to read previous chapters and uncovers tidbits of foreshadowing... that is the hallmark of a wonderful writer.

Henry. He is messed up, most artists are. He and Ben are very similar, however Henry is so guarded. He is easy to fall for but difficult to maintain. He is a vvagabond,  a drifter and a dreamer. A male torn between a man and a child. He is his father. I believe Henry is afraid of commitments because of hisbfather. He believes the he cant love a woman and his music. He chooses whats safe. He is in love with Val, has been from the moment he saw her. She was different, unique, and removed from  .  His world. Yet he is insecure. He isnt bothered by her insecurities because he is a modelizer. He is so messed up my heart breaks for him.

 

Valerie is a wonderful character. She is real. I have said this before, your storytelling is above par for this site and the genre. You are truly talented. Thank you for sharing. Happy writing and be blessed!
