Sorry that there is no chapter yet, but I assure you that it is only a matter of time. I have had to write it

a few times, revise it, change it . . . . I guarantee you it will be grand. You may not like it, I'm not even

sure I like it, but it doesn't matter because this story has to end.

This is my author's note. I have not much to say, except thank you very much to all of you who read

this and reviewed it. I didn't get a lot of reviews as far as this section of the website goes, but the ones I

got were all good, and it's quality that I go for!

To ashleyconnor: thank you for the long and detailed review! By the way, a roach is the end of a joint,

when it gets just about too small to hold onto. Well, that's what it means around here anyway. Drug

slang can be very different in different places. I could drive two hours away from where I am, and not

have a clue what the stoners are talking about.

Thanks very much also to Sombra De Severus, Be Boring, ~GrimDani~, lilegyptiangoddess, Crystal

Raven, Georgie, shang-wombat, WiccaRowan, Mana Rosa, christine, Mickat, mary32, cunning_angel,

some person who calls themselves "A", megan, teshara, Sos, lia, Sombra, Dylan S. Thompson, White

Raven, Courtney, Cola Tyger, Rebecca, Princess Fish, Liv, Nevyn, Sabrina, Parselmouth, Wolf, I think

another person named wolf who knows Paul Henderson, Vanessa, MiZ PuNk, blackrose87, MCMish,

mermaidgirl, Moria Polonius, and girlLuka. Yes, I think that's all of you . . . hope I didn't leave anyone

out!

I'm glad you all liked it! In a day or two when the last chapter is up, you may like it no more. Which

is why I have my author's note here, before the end, and before you all hate me.

I'm glad that you liked Viola. Not surprising, but she is a lot like me, and that means you all like me!

We share the same birthday, tattoo, love of tall dark and handsome men, love of pot and shrooms, and the

same habits. Her friends, even, are based on my own friends. Some of you have told me that my

characters are believable, and that's why! They're practically real people.

It's taken a very long time to get this far, and now it's practically over. I wonder if there is anyone

still there, reading this right now, who has been reading it since I started writing it. That would be neat,

and if so, we've been through a lot together. A couple birthdays and Christmases, April 20th s and entire

semesters of school. I ditched one very bad boyfriend, who was very much an inspiration for Brandon,

and now have a very good one.

I wrote this story for therepy. I needed to get everything out, and this humble fanfic has been a

remarkable outlet. All the chaos and pain in Viola's life mirrored my own, and she has helped me come

to terms with my problems better than any real person ever could have done. I no longer bring harm to

myself, I feel it isn't necessary any more. It's hard to even admit, still, that I did do it at one point, but

simple to say that I don't do it anymore. It feels good. My scars won't ever go away; I don't have the

benifit of a healing potion like Viola did, but I find that I don't mind them as much. They get harder to

notice. They don't matter.

Thank you all so very much for your support. The only thing I have ever wanted to do with my life is

write, and you have been very encouraging.

You will see the last chapter very soon!

Love always from

Jeni
