Once Upon A Time, I Could Take Anything
Summary
My best friend moved five hours away, my boyfriend begged for a forgiveness that I couldn't give. So when my suicide attempt failed and my therapist gave up on me, I began my own life, one that would suck me in so deep I could never recover.

"Go ahead, say it, you're leaving. You'll just come back running, holding your scarred heart in hand, it's all the same. And I'll take you for who you are, if you'll take me for everything.. Do it all over again, it's all the same.."
A/N: Aside from the band, I own everything to this story. Steal and it will become a legal matter. Just like the prequel, this is my own personal story. It is a trigger warning in more cases than one. Please proceed with caution.

I just keep stumbling across more and more of your stories. I've now read what you have of this story and the prequel.
This story overall... it's just so real. And I commend you for that. There is nothing cheesy about it, and you just go with the things that actually happen in life. Which is mainly because you based it off of what's happened to you, and so that has just made this the most authentic story I've read. Truly.
I'm not sure how much is true or if anything is exaggerated, but I just wanted to tell you that I admire you for all you've been through. Going by what's happening with the character, your life definitely hasn't been easy and you've had a lot of hardships. I'm sorry you had to go through so much, no one deserves that.
But it definitely was able to make an interesting story. I'm bummed to see this was never continued, perhaps it got a bit too difficult to write, you weren't receiving as much feedback as you would have liked... I don't know. But if you ever do choose to pick it up again, I will be here to read. I would like to know how it all rounds out for this character. I don't expect a cheesy ending, but with where it left off... I'm sure some decision was made.
But yeah, you're seriously an amazing writer and that is why I keep checking our your stuff. This story has to be the best one so far for me, just with how it comes from a true story/your life. You really know what to write for it in that case and that makes you an awesome writer, for knowing the subject you're writing about.
Once again, I will be here if you ever choose to continue this or wrap it up. I think it honestly could have ended with the prequel, save the last line where Alex showed back up again. But I would be interested in seeing where this installment goes if you were to continue.
Even though it's been a while since you've written for it, I just wanted to leave feedback to let you know I enjoyed it. :)
