You're a genius. Seriously.
QUOTES!
"This time, he felt differently. This was war." Man, that's awesome. It's such a huge change and brings on so many opportunities! And they're both so damn stubborn; neither will admit what they feel. Pssh.
"Just because I have a thick head doesn't mean that...that...I'm stupid..." Man, that's hilarious. xD.
AND! "I didn't know where you went...and I'm...well...I was...lovesick, I guess." That is a fantastic way to describe it. Jeez, so I take back what I said earlier; right there it that phrase, Brendon just basically confessed his love for her. Alice is the one with the thick head. x|.
Anyway, amazing chapter! I can't wait to see what happens next [and I am SO glad it's a triology!].
