Review for You Remind Me Of A Former Love.

You Remind Me Of A Former Love.

(#) Life_is_42 2008-08-05

Ryan was attempting at optimism for this. This, though, had shocked him. Never was he positive or even considerably an optimist.

This made me half jump out of my seat and go “Oh good LORD Helen was so perfect for him! She has influenced him SO much, just by accepting him as who he is…and his life is so much better” and I then zoomed to write it all down for this review before I forgot!

But, it was as though even if Helen weren't around to help him, Ryan was still changing for the better

This reminded me of the phrase I heard somewhere “Don’t marry the person you think you could live with, marry the person you KNOW you couldn’t live WITHOUT”. And I squeeed because it proves that Ryan NEEDS to end up with Helen! =D

"What the hell is he doing here?" another voice asked, startling both Ryan and Nicole.

Omg. I think this is the first time I’ve heard (well…read……known…) Helen to swear. Ryan is in deep doo doo….

"Get your fucking hands off me, Ryan!" she screamed, as Ryan instantly let go, a little scared. He had never seen Helen act that way before, with the exception of their break up. He hasn't even heard her cuss before. This plan was failing miserably by the second. Still, Ryan continued.


HAHA!! See? I was RIGHT! Do I get cookies for being so observant :D XD jk.

*"I tried to talk to Helen." Ryan answered, as the annoyance on Elle's face had dropped to a blank one and she was suddenly silent.

"Oh." she whispered and that was that.*

I think Elle is my favorite character now, aside from the protagonists. And its not just because I’ve actually talked to her XD. No, its just…so cool that she’s understanding this all…

He began to have visions of her being mugged or cornered by a vicious killer.

Snorts Yeah right, ryan. Because Elle is TOTALLY going to sit back and let some mugger get her. She’d end up mugging HIM. He wouldn’t know what hit him…

Elle just stormed into the Employees Only room as Brendon hastily followed after her. Once the door swung shut, Ryan instantly dropped his broom and smashed his ear up to the door as more muffled yells poured from behind the door.

LOL….nice going Ryan. ( I’m only happy because Brendon is going to get whats coming to him. HEEEeeee!)

"You didn't mean to? So, what happened? Did you fall on him naked?" Elle spat, causing Ryan to chuckle.

This reminds me of that youtube video that was released by the same guy who did the “Shoes” video called “Love Letters”…….

*"That's hardly relevant." Brendon protested as Ryan heard something shatter.

"There! You are being violent and threatening me."

"I am not! You just broke that!" Brendon yelled, as Ryan laughed. Typical Elle.*

OMG dies on the floor laughing I feel SO insensitive for laughing so hard during such an intense and important moment. But you’re just TOO FUNNY m’dear!

"Um, yeah. I'm fine." she lied, looking to the ground. But, then, out of nowhere, Ryan walked to her and enveloped his arms around her in a tight hug, as she quickly wrapped her arms around him as well. Ryan felt hot tears drop to his shirt, as he just patted her back. This wasn't romance or a hug of sympathy. This was a reassurance that Ryan was there and that he always will be. This was the comfort to know that Elle could at least turn to somebody when in need. This was the encouragement that everything will get better in the end, even if things looked crappy now. This was their friendship.


Awww I love those hugs. ☺ Sniffles a little at the sweetness


And once again you've produced a FANTASTIC chapter marvals


Author's response

ACK! I have no idea how I'm going to smith together an EQUALLY amazing response for this FABULOUS review. But, I'll try. :]

Aghhh, Helen and Ryan ARE perfect for each other. And yes, she has influenced him A LOT, even if she isn't around to do so. :]

LOL! Yes, you get a cookie for being so observant. I just thought having someone as sweet and understanding as Helen cuss, who never cusses, that it'd seem like Ryan IS in deep doo doo. [BTW, that made me giggle]

-throws you TWO BOXES of cookies.-

Ah yes. Elle happens to be my favorite character as well and not just because she is one of my best friends. XD. But, because she IS so understanding and all. And gahh, I love writing her. She is just too awesome. :]

XD. Haha, that's so true. She wouldn't let some mugger get her. Gahh, what was I thinking?

Hm, I never saw 'Love Letters' but I have seen Shoes. [Who hasn't?] XD

Ahaha, don't feel insensitive. I wanted to make it seem rather funny to contrast the intense situation. :]

ACK! I love you! Thank you for this AMAZING review. :]]]
