OMGOMG OMG YOU ARE BACK SO HAPPY LOVE THIS STORY MORE SOON 5***** DONT STOP MORE SOON

Chase is really starting to piss me off ...

CHAPTER TEN - WOW!

I never warmed to Lila's character at first and now after reading this last instalment I really don't like her. I, too, felt uncomfortable reading about her and Chase's relationship. His feelings towards her I can understand as some teenagers generally have a crush on their teachers, ect), but she is the adult here and should know better and put an end to it.

Her feelings towards Chase is not the motherly or sisterly kind of love - it appears much more than that and she is in no rush to stop it spiralling out of control. This is not fair on Chase - it's almost as if she is encouraging him (refer to the incident in the restaurant where the three of them met up for dinner). She is aware of the dangers of how their closeness would look to those on the outside and knows the consequences of what will happen if it all get's out of control.

The way she is always quick to think the worse of Jack over everyone else is eye opening. She does not want to admit her true feelings towards Chase. She may revel in the fact that she has two handsome men chasing after her and does not want to give that up. She's playing them off against each other. Is it Jack she really loves or is she lying to herself.

Now she has found out the truth about the photo's and that Jack did not take them, she is still punishing him. Seeing as he has only just found out what his employers were doing, he is risking his job by trying to save her from the hurt and embarassment and from losing her job as a teacher, yet she throws it all back in his face citing the case that he "lied by omission". She doesn't seem that concerned that she was being investigated by worried parents, all she appers to be concerned with a is hurting Jack now that everything is out in the open.

Maybe when she has calmed down and takes stock of what has ocurred, she finds herself having to go back begging Jack to give her another chance.

I feel for Jack - he does have his flaws but he did what he thought was right. He tried to make things disappear without Lila having to know about it so that she would not get hurt and neither would his brother Chase.

Chase is a confused young man who needs to stop this obsession he has with Lila - she is no good for him in the long run. But after losing his parents and not getting the support from his brother (who was also grieving and dealing with it in his own way thus shutting out his brother), the one person he was able to turn to was Lila. So now he feels is in love with her.

Both Jack and Chase need to get rid of Lila from their lives and start re-building their relationship. Deep down Chase loves Jack and vice versa. The person pulling them apart is Lila.

But I know in fiction anything can happen - so I can't wait for the next instalment to see what happens after this bombshell.

You are a good writer and should get this published - I can see it becoming a bestseller.

Write soon.....thank you

I don't like Lila. I really don't. Her relationship or sick attachment that she has with Chase is sickening and unhealthy. She needs to leave both Chase and Jack alone. To be honest I think that Jack is better of without her. He needs to be a man and stop begging that ungrateful B!tch. Yeah I said it. Lila is always so quick to think the worst of Jack. And really, with the way she was getting to close to Chase, what did she expect? She crossed the line and deep down she knows it. So of course people are going to get suspicious. We are talking about a grown ass woman who should know better. Chase is a still a child who is desperate to be man. He may think he is mature, but his actions are far from it. Rather than loving Lila, I think he is obsessed with her. He has this stupid fantasy of being with her because she was the person he could lean on when he needed it. Lila had spoiled him to much with her "special" treatment that she gave him. Chase a needy little boy who is looking for attention.

WOW, I don't know what to say...

I love this story... everyone deals with grief differently.  I'm wondering maybe Danielle was Lila twin, its hard enough to lose a sibling but to lose half of yourself could explain alot about Lila behaviour, but her heart is in the right place...

So I don't know what to say exactly. 

But what I do know is that Lila needs to have sometime away from everyone to think about what just happened. She needs to sit and recalculate. This is situtation got out of hand real quick and there is a solution to it. In fact I can see it, but she needs her time to think.

Thanks for the update!

I'm sure that if Lila was a man and Chase a girl, a lot of us would have screamed pedophile or just how inappropriate their relationship would have been, especially when Chase was still in high school and all and having the keys of Lila's apartment. We would ask our self, what would a grown ass man do with a teenage girl barely out of high school!!! I'm sorry but I just can't see Lila and Chase getting together. This is mostly her fault. She shouldn't have gotten this close with Chase. That was not her job. Its her own fault that she is in this mess right now. And even if she ends up falling in love with Chase. Like seriously, what is a grown ass woman doing with a teenage boy?? He may be 18/19 and act mature for his age, but he is not. He hasn't lived his life nor does he have any ADULT life experience. And yes I'm very aware that age is nothing but a number, and all of that. And its ok for a woman to fall in love with a younger man. But not when we are talking about a teenager who clearly has some issues and barely lived his/her life yet. In a way he is still a child. Lila is a grown woman, who has already had plenty of experience in the adult world, she should know better.

I think that Lila should move far away from both brothers and start a new life. 

Glad to see that your back to writing. I had to go back and reread to finger out what was going on but it was worth is because this is a good story and I hope that you do do a trilogy on it. Would love to see who everything works out for the three of them

Wow.  This was an excellent update.

GAH! I love this story (and your writing)! I have missed it SO much! THANK YOU!!!!!

Ahhhh this is amazing! I'm gonna do a rain dance or something in the hopes that you'll update this soon, because this is one of the best stories I've read on here so far. The way you write your characters is phenomenal. They're all so flawed and honest, so HUMAN. It's what makes your stories soo addicting. I've read all that you've put up and I'm obsessed. Your writing inspires me to work that much harder on my writing and perfecting my craft. Thank you so much!

That being said, I need to vent about this story.

Okay, I have a HUGE soft spot for Chase. I mean, I definitely appreciate that the two of them weren't intimate while he was in high school (for a while I was worried they would cross that boundary), but after graduation I was initially hoping that would work out for them. I was both surprised and pleased when she actually went ahead and gave Jack a chance. I didn't think they would end up together. When I saw how well they for each other though, my heart immediately went out to Chase. How awful would it be to see someone who has become your world, begin a relationship with your (seemingly) insensitive brother? I would die. Okay, no I wouldn't, but still, I hope everything works out for Chase (maybe he'll find his own chocolate shorty @ Harvard?). *fingers crossed* I really hope Jack wasn't responsible for the pics. I was just starting to like him.

Personally, I think it was that blonde girl Ashley. She's been trying to get Chase's attention for some time now, and I think it killed her to see how much in love he was with Lila. I get that's frustrating, but I didn't appreciate the fact that she got all in Lila's face at the beach. She's still a teacher, and you blondie didnt really know what was going on. I would have had to lay her out. Lol.

If the blonde's not responsible, I definitely think the Grandma might be to blame for the creeper photos. Something about the way she was grilling Lila rubbed me the wrong way... I could be wrong, but I've got my eye on her. 

This story is so good, please please PLEASE update soon. I'm in love.
