Oh god. This... this so sated the angst!whore that I am. Really, it did. It was so vivid that I felt myself back in her shoes. I was a bit worried that she wasn't going to turn around and realize she needed the help, but I'm glad she did.

Seriously, I loved this Chelsea. I may end up rereading it many times, starting now!

The vivid comes from the fact that a lot of this is based on previous personal experience. So yeah. I've been in her shoes.

Thank you, I'm really glad you loved it.

I started getting tired of it because I just couldn't bring myself to post it, just read it and edit it some more. I'm glad I finally did post it, though.

Those shoes really aren't fun to fill. Not one bit.

I'm glad that you're glad that I loved it. :) And I'm also very glad you posted it too.

Wow... just, wow.

This was really emotional. I'm sorry, I don't mean that like I cried because, again sorry, but I pretty much never cry... I'm thinking of having my tear ducts removed a la Sue Sylvester... jk

Back on topic.... this was really good and really sad and Quinn just made my heart squeeze in that REALLY REALLY GOOD WAY. Rachel more than once had me putting my hand over my mouth in that shocked, sad, terrified way when you just want to plead with someone to make it better and to stop the hurt... you know? That moment when it kinda just pierces through you and you wish you could make everything good?

The end with Puck and Santana (and of course the rest of the Gleeks) was pure awesome. I could totally picture and hear Santana right then saying that exact thing. PERFECT.

This was seriously really great. Love it. Love you. Just... wow.

I don't expect anyone to cry, no worries =)

The ending was a bitch to write. I didn't want it to be too cheesy and there was originally more dialogue but it just sucked. I'm much happier with the simple ending.

Thank you <333 Love you, too!

Oh my good Lord, my baby momma seriously writes all the best things ever. Our children (with Cassie of course) need to go and get your writing skills, her writing skills and my good looks. And THIS! This like almost kind of broke my heart and I wanted to cry baby bitch tears but I held back. Bravo Baby Momma, bravo.

I know, right? But I wasn't the one who chose for this to get published. I held a poll on my Tumblr, people chose it based on the teasers I gave and apparently the "You need help" scene won out over all the other fluffy scenes from other fics I presented them with =D
Thank you! =)
