Hai, if you reached this point then congrats, you made it to the end of my story. Yay! But in all seriousness, I'm just going to be talking about inspirations on writing, music I listened to, and just a little more about my writing along with myself.

Inspirations:

~ Writing ~

I'm a big daydreamer, it's gotten to the point where I had to search Google to find that I had a disorder for it. Its called maladaptive daydreaming, so search that up if you want. It's always the spark of inspirations for me, whether it be a short story, a one shot, an ending that could've taken place in a book, anything really and that's how I discovered fanfiction, where things you create in your head turn to life. But that's how this idea was formulated, the idea of taking a cliché storyline and turning it into something more interesting, more different. I know there's a lot of plot holes, but if you look at the whole picture, you'll actually be able to find that it's a pretty good plot, not something you see everyday and something captivating, or at least I hope as you are here reading this.

So if you were here from the very beginning, then you would've actually seen a different set of chapters that just went everywhere and made no sense, but I had paused the whole production of writing around December of 2014 because I realized that I was honestly getting nowhere and what I wanted to say wasn't coming out correctly in the chapters since I was working on two stories at once and thought I could put my all in one at a time rather than rush myself into pleasing both works.

That ended with me taking some time off, probably 6 months because I finished "The Silver Promise" in February, but I just needed time to figure out what I was going to write, how I wanted the story to flow. And if you remember, I started writing in about 2012 with the first 5ish chapters copied exactly from my notebook before I began to stray and so my writing had improved as it is 2016 right now. But I began learning a lot of things like dialogue, character development, and most importantly the plot/plot line. And because of this I had finally realized that I had to start all over again, I felt like I had to write it as close to as I envisioned it and it honestly was pretty close.

I write with an open mind, although there may have been some sessions where I had an event or scene planned, but I mainly was writing whatever came to my mind. I had no outline for this story when I had rewritten it, all I had was the storyline and I think that's all that mattered, I had a draft of chapters for the first version, but it has long gone been abandoned.

But the final version, the one you're reading is my final (unedited) product and I am actually very proud of it. I honestly never thought I would get so many views especially since I've been going on and off with this story, but I do thank you for sticking with me till the end whether you were here from the beginning or just discovered me today, thank you.

~ Music ~

Music is one thing I can't live without besides books. Music is where I can just drift off into an area of my mind that is at peace with the world. I actually don't have a specific play list because of my many likes, but I'll list some songs/artists I've listened to while writing. But they don't really correlate to the chapters because I use music as mainly an outlet, a blocker that keeps me grounded from the real world so I normally just type and not even think about the music playing. Although there are times where I can play a song and immediately think of this story just because of the amount of times I've played it when writing the story. I also think more of the songs as lyrics rather than artist and popularity, I know some of these artists have more impacting songs towards the public, it's just that I find other songs more impacting on myself and I can relate to it more.

- Against the Current: They are one of my go-to artists for writing just because I really enjoy their music, and their song lyrics. I've been with this band since 2012, a little earlier than before I discovered Fanfic, but it's a big key in musical inspiration here. They have 2 EPs out right now and I love both, "Infinity" and "Gravity", but there is one song that they released a while back that describes this story to a 'T' and it's called "Dreaming Alone" so you should search up the lyrics or even the song if you feel in the mood, but I really think the lyrics are greatly impacted by this whole scenario. "Brighter" is also a song you should look up if you're ever interested. They also recently, as of yesterday released two singles off their debut album, "Running With the Wild Things" and "Runaway" and they both describe the story pretty well, maybe better than "Dreaming Alone", but I think this album will fit entirely, so you should check out the lyrics in those songs too. But I just love this band overall in general and I hope to see them one day in a concert.

- Ed Sheeran: I just love his music, it just soothes me and I love listening to it when I just need time to think and write. I love all his songs, old and recent, but I think they are all very inspiration and he is an amazing songwriter with lyrics that just speak to me.

- 5 Seconds of Summer: Strange combination of artists, but equally as talented. I know many believe they are just a wanna-be boy band, but I look at them as a band who writes and produces amazing songs that too many people can relate to, but is bypassed simply because of their age and looks. My inspirations from them come from mainly their old songs like "Close as Strangers", "Wherever You Are", and "Rejects", but I do enjoy their current work from both albums like "Beside You" and "Broken Home" along with "Invisible". Their music, both lyrically and melodically are just very captivating, I always enjoy their different pieces and sound, and it generally helps me write.

- Troye Sivan: I discovered him on YouTube and now he's pretty much blowing up with his whole album and I couldn't be more proud, but he is one of my biggest go-to play lists honestly because his music is something I always enjoy. I always love listening to the lyrics and taking them apart, piece by piece to understand it more as not only words, but also as an inspiration, motivation,a connection. His songs are all beautiful, lyrically and musically, but his lyrics are the best feature that I see. I especially love the songs "Gasoline", "Lost Boy", and "for him."

- Shawn Mendes: From this list, it may seem like I'm just a teenage girl obsessed with their looks rather than their sounds, but I think he is very talented. And if I'm being honest, I don't enjoy his two major songs on the radio. I prefer the slower, softer songs which hold so much meaning to me like "Imagination", "Kid in Love", "Aftertaste", and "The Weight". Those are the ones you should listen to if you want to understand my feelings towards the connection between the story and these songs, but they really speak to me and I just love his sound and his lyrics.

There are many others I listen to, but these are my main artists and I think they are all talented musically and lyrically, not just through popularity as much of the public believe.

What I Plan:

So what I plan for the future is most likely going to happen after I finish my last book on the site; "The Golden Promise". I'm going to rewrite the whole story to fit as an original work and I'm going to post it on Wattpad, because a) That's the site for many originals and b) I prefer that site for posting original works as FictionPress is not as commonly known, nor is it a good starter. So my Wattpad user is BrokenPromises4U, it's an account I use for reading so there's a reading list there if you ever feel in the mood to check out, but it's where I'll be posting the story so follow me or keep me bookmarked, maybe I might post a chapter here to tell you guys, but I think that's about it.

I actually have two accounts on this site, both are well and running, I prefer this one just because I started on this account and also because these stories mean a lot to me. I also have an account on Archive of Our Own (aka Ao3), I upload somewhat regularly, but I do have about 5 works there, but it isn't relevant to what I write here, but still fanfiction.

What Happens Now:

Simple, I continue on this site with my last book and I guess after that it's farewell to this account. I have no qualms with this site or account, but I think it's time I move a little deeper into the water. I don't what to stay situated on the same site forever, but I will always come back to it. I love this site, it's like my method to escape while also providing others with something they can appreciate. I honestly don't know when I'll be done, but for sure, I do know that this account is going to come to a close someday.

I don't know if it's a great idea or a stupid idea, but I do know that it's what I want. I've been drifting from this site to be honest. There were times where I spent all my free time just reading fanfiction after fanfiction, but it's different now. I can't start up again here, the only reason I stay is for my story and I guess that was when it hit me how I no longer have a use for this site after my works. But I will always cherish everything I've accomplished, all the people I've interacted with. This site is a part of me that I won't ever forget; not in the front of my brain, but something I can always look back to and smile because I've accomplished so much and I can't thank you for sticking with me on the journey of this story.

Stats:

I honestly don't know when I hit the marks, except the 50 reviews, as I saw no impact on them until I hit 15k, but I think you should see them still.

- Before Re-Written: 9,723 views; I honestly didn't expect this much, but thank you to those who've been here since the very beginning.

- Re-Written: 16, 723; This is nearly double the earlier version, but I didn't calculate the Epilogue yet so it can change. But thank you to everyone who read my story, even if it was a chapter, it still means a lot to me.

- Total Views: 26,446 views as of February 24, 2016; you guys are fucking crazy! I never thought I would hit 26k, I mean hitting 16k is amazing, but the fact that I had that many views on my story is crazy, I still can't process this, but thank you all so much! You don't know how much it means to me.

- 50th Reviewer: ameliabedila24; milestone hit on January 12th, 2016. If I'm being honest, that was one of my goals that I thought I would never reach, but it's mind blowing. And I can't be more thankful, you guys are amazing and I wouldn't trade you for the world. But thank you, and I hope to see that number climbing even though "Forever Alone" is coming to an end. Thank you.

- Total Reviews: 58; Insane and unbelievable, you guys are the best readers an author like me can have!

- Followers: 77; an incredible number although 17 are from before the re-written, but thank you for sticking with me through this story, I can't believe I even hit the 50 milestone here. I don't know when, and although there are dates, it's too much with my head so I can't dedicate you to the milestone, but I still love you all.

- Favorites: 54: devils-lover76; It was a hard find, but I found you and I have dedicated the milestone to you! Thank you so, so much, I didn't think I would hit that high for favorites, but you guys honestly are the best audience I could ever ask for, thank you!

Questions/Reviews:

Thank you to the following reviewers and thank you to everybody who ever left a message or comment on this story, it really means a lot to me and I can't ever thank you guys enough.

-Jessie the twilight girl (aka Rain girl 19): No problem, and thank you for your review, it really means a lot to me and I hope you enjoyed this story to the very end! :)

-Guest: I'm glad you love the story and thank you for the kind review, I hope you feel that way towards the end! :)

-brankel1: Thank you for the compliment and I hope you enjoy the story till the very end! :)

Social Media:

- Second Fanfic Account: uponxfallingxstars || I have a Mortal Instruments/Twilight Crossover story up so check it out, but it's an adopted story and I update monthly.

- Wattpad: BrokenPromises4U || All I have is a reading list, but I will upload the original on this account.

- Instagram: thedaughterofnight || Public/Connected to FanFic account and vickymlam || Private, but I love you all and I want to talk; but if we know each other in real life then I think I may have to rethink my life. JK, but come talk to me or something, who knows what can happen.

- Twitter: infinitelyxtori || I mainly tweet about my life, not pointless shit so I won't evade your time line, so follow me if you wish to.

- Archive of Own Own (Ao3): luke_is_a_kirby || Same as my Twitter, only difference is I post 5 Seconds of Summer BxB One Shots, so... a lot different than what I post here, but check it out if you're the slightest bit interested!

But in all seriousness, check me out on any of the following above and if we know each other in real life, please don't go around blurting this to other people, I go to great lengths to keep myself off the radar and Fanfiction isn't exactly looked upon at my school; more like laughed at … so yeah. I honestly don't know how I feel about giving you guys all this information, but if shit goes down, I'm taking it down so no harm done, I guess.

Ending Note:

I honestly can't thank you enough and if it starts to get repetitive, then I'm sorry, but I don't know how to express this. You guys are the best readers I could ever ask for and I really hope my last book does just as well as this one, hopefully better! But seeing one of my visions come to life and for others to find entertainment in it is an amazing feeling and the accomplishments are all I could wish for. So thank you for everything you guys, you don't know how much each and every one of you mean to me.

I loved this story from the start of the journey and reaching the point of the end is making me feel quite emotional, but I wouldn't change it for anything else. I made some friends online through this story and I honestly wished it wasn't over.

If you actually read through this then congrats, it's the last you'll ever see of me on this story, but I'll still be on the site. Message me if you want to talk or anything really, I'm actually working on a story with someone and it's pretty fun, so who knows what'll happen! I wish I could hug each and every one of you, but I can't so I hope you can feel my love pushing through from your screen or whatever you're using to read this right now. Thank you, I love you, and I can't believe you made it this far.

And if you want to see more works, check out this account for my newest story "The Golden Promise", I wouldn't recommend reading the first book as I'm still in the process of re-writing it, but TGP is just as good without the first. And also be on the lookout for this original plot turned, it's going to happen, whether it be next week, next month, or even a year from now, because I'm going to make it happen.

But thank you to all of you who were here from the very beginning, the re-written, the middle, or even the end, because I love you all so, so much and I hope to see you somewhere, somehow! I love you! :)

I LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! **insert thousands of hearts**

THANK YOU FOR CLICKING ON THIS STORY!

Till Next Time! :)
