Why in the world did Jessica agree to marry Paul when she was in love with Jeremy? Paul and his goons are absolute bullies, who will end up in jail at the way they behave. Well done.

    Thank you so much for your exceptional review, You made my week. Jessica was infatuated with Paul's fictional persona, what he poses to be. Never seeing his true colors until tonight.
    Thank you again for such a remarkable review, I am honored.

Bullying gone over board. Two kids who love each other, one not being so sure until the kiss, then the so called lover coming back to punish both of them. How will this story end? Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writing.

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for your kind wishes. I'm hoping to raise awareness and show what bullying does both mentally and physically. Get inside the victim's head.

    Well hello again. It's always so nice to hear from you. I do hope all is well. Thank you so much for your kind review, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Jessica realizes how heartless Paul is in the next chapter, but is it too late?
    Thank you again for all your support, friendship. It means the world to me. Take care.

Oh dear. This is not good at all, Jessica is in very big trouble. Girls seem to make the worst choices when it comes to men. Now Paul is in very big trouble as well. Things do not bode well for either of these young people. Well done. Can't wait to find out what happens. Rox

    Thank you for such a great review. It tickles me to see you're so in to the story. That you worry about their safety. I'm afraid these two are like Romeo and Juliet, never had a chance.
    Thank you again for such a sweet review, all your support and friendship. It means a lot to me, take care.

Hello Mistydawn. This is quite a violent chapter. As I read the early part Jeremy was describing a history of something like abuse and his desperation for Jessica seems like a scream to stop the pain. The line that was so descriptive of his feelings to me is, "left him feeling like he was a mirage of a human." His self esteem couldn't be lower and that is why he is so desperate for Jessica.

    Thank you so much for your kind review. Yes it was rather violent but I wanted the readers to see, feel Jeremy's anguish all the suffering he's had through the years. What that did to him. Why he does what he does.
    Thank you again for all your help, support and friendship, it means a lot to me, take care.

Paul has proposed to Jessica, Jeremy's eternal love, but she confesses to Jeremy that Paul has asked her to marry him, at which Jeremy becomes incensed with jealous passion. What transpires after that is a nightmare of gargantuan proportions, of one has to feel for Jeremy. Well done, good basis for a plot. Blessings, Roy

    Thank you so much for another helpful review, for catching my mistakes. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Jessica and Jeremy are in a world of hurt, right now. One of my readers said what you put your characters though, I hope I'm never in one of your books. Don't tell my neighbors but a few of them have been included a time or two.

Hey there, Wow, what an intense chapter. Found two things:He first recalls the numerous times he was corned in the bathroom. I think you mean cornered and not corned.

Jeremy spins around. "I never intended to fall in love, but I did." Jeremey darts away. Your spelling of Jeremy is spelled wrong the second time. You might want to say, "he darts away" instead of saying his name again.
Just a suggestion.

    Thank you so much for your encouraging review and your helpful suggestions. There were a lot of Jeremy's that could be deleted. I didn't realize I'd used his name so much. Thank you for pointing that out. Hope all is well with you, things are getting back to normal. Thanks again for all your help, support, and friendship, take care.

A solid psychological theme, a realistic plot development through sociological and cultural navigation of thematic maturation, love nurtures the breaking point in course of struggling for rational and lovable survival, and crime could not stand on its way to flourish and breaks, well said, well done.

MD,

What a horribly dramatic and wonderful exciting scene! In so many ways, girl!

This was great plotting. There were definitely some crafting issues, but those can always be corrected - not everyone can create such drama and compelling fiction. Kudos!!!

I was fully immersed and felt like I was passing a car wreck - where you feel horrible for looking, but can't help yourself. Wow. Great job.

Some note, if you'll permit?
1.) I hope I don't upset you by saying this, but the title on your book cover should be "Pushed (Too) Far"

2.) The cool night air gently brushes across Jeremy's face as he steps through the school doors for the final time.
--> the 'brushes' is highlighted differently - is this on purpose?

3.) He first recalls the numerous times he was (cornered) in the bathroom.

4.) How his peer's hurtful rants would replay like a broken record over and over in his mind.
--> because you're saying it's playing like a broken record, you don't really need to say 'over and over'
--> How his peer's hurtful rants would replay like a broken record in his mind.

5.) Pretend(ed) they didn't see the brutality.

6.) He'd then pictures Jessica's grief-stricken face and decides he can go on a bit more.
-->He'd then picture Jessica's grief-stricken face and decide he could go on a bit more.

7.) "He what(?)" Jeremy bellows, trying to process what he's been told.

8.) "I thought you loved me (<--italicized, maybe?) not... (n)ot that
douc(h) bag(,) Paul."

9.) but his hot, raw passion savagely emerge(s) to the surface.

10.) "Sure thing, Paul.(no qmark) Come on, you (loser. L)et's go." (Lifting Jeremy physically, the brutes) carry him across the yard.

11.) Jeremy yells as the two goons shove him in the(ir) car.

Great work. I hate the lowered rating, but I will be happy to come back and bump it up. Just holler when you edit a bit, please. I really enjoyed this a LOT. Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for such a helpful review. It seems I concentrated so hard on the darned commas that I missed a lot of small stuff. That's the way it usually goes with me, grrr. Well, it's fixed now. On a good note, I only had one fragmented sentence. Now to get the rest of it in order. Some day, I hope.
    Thank you again for all your help it means a lot to me. It's how I learn, grow as a writer, take care.

Wow! Exciting stuff. I read the first part to get caught up, but I didn't expect the story to progress to this. Poor Jessica. Where are they taking Jeremy? Will they be okay? You have me worried. Hurry and save them! :)
