The more breathtaking your chapters become the more I find myself at a loss of words. I loved Belle´s journal entry thing. That´s a really fantastic literary device and you used it wonderfully. I´m also very impressed by the way you jump from one scene to another one without giving us a clear reference to time but as a reader you can kinda guess what must have happened in the meantime because your writing is just so clear and powerful. The ambiance is so well conveyed that I´m thinking I must be having drug-induced visions (thanks for letting a straight-edge person experience that, btw) because I´m right there with Belle, Patrick and Kevin in the hospital room.
I can´t wait to find out what further things you have in store for Belle and Patrick. And that slut Greta. ;)

belles journals are the simplest things to write, only because i've kept a journal since i was probably in fourth grade, and it's kind of hobby. i like to use more realistic language in it, more broken up thoughts. i know they are a little bit hard to comprehend, but i think it's important that they aren't completely linear.
you are very welcome. i love that this makes you feel somewhat euphoric, even if it is a melancholy euphoria.
i really didn't want to write Greta as a whore, and when she's not written in Belle's POV she's actually a sweetie. but everyone hates her because of Belle, and that kind of makes me feel good. :)
your reviews really make my head spin. so thank you times a million.
