Hello everyone! Just clearing a couple of things up! :)

.

I signed up for Wattpad when I started this story. This story is posted by me on both Wattpad and Fanfiction. Net . If you see it anywhere else it has been used without my permission and I have no control over that sadly. My username for both sites is TeamMaddison. The title of the story on both sites is "Breaking Free" with the same cover picture as you see here.

.

Almost all of my stories are "Alternate Universe" stories which means that things that happen in my stories may not line up perfectly with what happened in the show. There will almost always be some changes. For example when Lexi was a drug addict in the AU episode If/Then. She is not a drug addict in real life, but in the alternative universe she was.

.

An alternative universe (also known as alternate universe or alternate reality), commonly abbreviated as AU, is a type or form of in which canonical facts of setting or characterization in the universe being explored or written about are deliberately changed. So looking at the definitions, we see some differences. {Googled the exact definition}.

.

As always thanks for taking the time to read my stories! Hope this clears some things up.
