Sorry to disappoint you, but this will only be a chapter to give answers to the reviewers. Because this is only a one-chapter story, I thought I have to answer you somehow.

First, I want to thank you very much for the reviews! I loved to read each one of them! J My parents wondered why I was online so early in the morning and it was only because I was curious about possible reviews… Perhaps they'll get used to it someday. ;-)

Reviewers:

Saxaphonebaby: If I am going to do more of this stuff? I am not sure yet. Of course I will write more fanfictions but I am concentrating more on the German stuff than English. I am just more comfortable with German. ;) And I don't think I will translate my other stories. Translating is really difficult, I nearly despaired sometimes during my work on this one. But perhaps I will start a whole new story in English, that's easier… I don't know yet.

silvertoekee: Hey, I've read some of your stories!!! J That's cool, I really liked them.

I like the English language very much, it is somehow more… flexible. There are so many synonymes and you can choose exactly what you need.

I love to hear that the story moved you, that is exactly what I wanted to say with it. My best friend cut herself and this story here is somehow our story. Most of what is described in here has happened in reality. It still makes me sad when I think of it because I was really naïve to believe that only people far away from me do things like that. I've written this story in one evening, I promised my friend that it would be her story, somehow. And that I would be finished with it in the morning. So far I've hold my promises.

Coolio02: Thank you a lot! It's always encouraging to hear that!

LalaithoftheBruinen: Thank you! I like the English language and I like to work with it. Even when it is sometimes quite difficult and nothing seems to work. But in the end it seemed to work, so I'm just glad you thought that as well. ;)

jibade7: I am not sure about that! I'm still learning it and half the work did my dictionary… ;) I'm sure you will be able to improve your writing skills. I had a lot of luck with my first beta-reader, she taught me a whole lot! She was so honest, it sometimes hurt my pride quite a bit but I learned a lot.

Irish QT: Thank you! There will be no update (well, not one in the sense of another chapter), but perhaps there will be a different story later, but I'm not sure yet.

Lyn: I'm glad to hear that you didn't thought this to be a translation. Sometimes I was sure everyone would laugh at me while reading this. ;)

As I already said to silvertoekee, I have some experiences with people who cut themselves. I never did it myself and I could never imagine someone of my friends doing it. Until I found my best friend with a broken piece of glass in her hand and her fingers bloody. I was shocked. We talked together, the whole evening and some of the things we said then and some of the things she explained to me about cutting oneself you can find in the text. I wrote it for her. She promised me to never do it again and I hope she will hold that promise.

Slivertongue: Thank you a lot! I wish I could write as well as some of you guys here on ff.net but I think I will never be that good. But I love writing so it is fine for me just to publish my little story.

Thank you again for your encouragement, it helped me a lot!
