sold my soul to the open road

Oooh, okay, glad you don't mind me pointing stuff out! Some people find it annoying or don't want to be bothered, lol.
:D

@Nanook

Thank you again for the feedback! and for pointing out those typos to me. By the time I get to proofreading the chapter I've already read through it so many times I miss a lot lol. I'm really glad to see that you're getting so into the story!

Ughhh... okay, this is the second story I read an update for tonight that has frustrated me. XD
First of all, yay, an update! :D I'm glad you posted, was hoping the story would be continued soon.
Second of all, I can't. XD If that wasn't obvious with my first sentence. XD
Going first to the ending of this update, I honestly have little sympathy for Jack and am fully on Shay's side with this. The day she left, he literally picked up on nothing. He told her all about how Lisa was visiting, and this was following the whole Alex breaking-up with her... like he could've freaking TOLD her that it wasn't anything bad. Okay. That's the issue I have with giving him any sympathy. Because he probably could've made the situation better when she called, and he didn't. And this was also following hers and Lisa's fight (which he did in fact witness), so, I feel like Jack could've clarified with her, you know? And he just did little on that part, which was weird.
Just expressing my thoughts on that drama. XD I realize you have an overall plan for this, but I just really need to vent my frustration right now. XD
Okay, and then Alex... oh boy. Again. Like HOW DOES HE NOT REALIZE WHAT HE DID WRONG. He did not talk to her that day! Like WTF! XD I'm just, totally team Shay on all counts. Even when you put in the explanations, I'll probably still be on her side. Because in all honesty, you can't blame her for running, when she gave him a few chances that day, and nothing was promising! Like seriously.
Okay, I am calm. XD But still frustrated. That end... whyyy.... I need more. XD
I'm also frustrated that her and Alex's confrontation was interrupted! I need more answers! XD
Two things to note:
At the beginning, when you first mentioned Zack here,
I was taken completely aback when Matt pushed through Alex, Jack, Rian, and Zach and hugged me.
You spelled his name with an h, when technically he uses the k. Although, with the rest of the chapter when he was mentioned, you did use k, so it confused me a bit why it was different here. I mention it though because, I feel like I saw this happen in another chapter? lol. Just wanting to clarify.
Oh, and with that last quote from Jack at the very end of this new chapter, there wasn't end quotation marks. XD It bothered me a bit, but it kind of threw it off because I thought it was just going to continue into another paragraph, but then I hit the notes and was like, "Oh." XD
But just two small things, no big deal. :)
Great job with the update, though, girl! Trust me, my frustration is a good thing... I'm still really into this story/the plot line. I just cannot with all this drama and them both blaming her so I had to ramble a bit about that to stay sane. XD
I hope you update again soon! :) Really want to read more. <3

Poor Jack. I hope he will stop and listen to her, I've got a feeling that nothing she thinks happened did. So maybe they can work past everything and start to rebuild friendships and relationships.

Aw, you're very welcome! :)
And ugh, I figured. Again, the torture. XD
And yay, glad to hear there may be more soon! :D I'm glad my comment brightened your day; wanted to leave my feedback because I know how crucial it can be for authors, whether it be with motivating them to continue or just letting them know they have another reader. :) So it's no problem really, also wanted to leave one to let you know I really would love to see how this continues. :)
