I really enjoy this story and how their relationship is blossoming slowly. I can't stand when they're in love by the fourth chapter, aha.
I just have a little thing to say, and you're probably going to hate me for it 'cause it's quite heated costrustive critisism.
When I read about Bill's eating disorder, it really isn't exactly anorexia. I've had anorexia and it's the scariest and most depressing thing I've ever gone through, and I've had a death of a family member and a knife pulled on me. So you can see how terrifying it is. :P
I totally understand as to WHY Bill would have anorexia because he's definetly not in control of his life, therefor he controls his eating to make up for that. I get it. But anorexia is so much more than just not eating. It's about thinking about food 24/7, dreaming about calories, seeing fat on your body that isn't there, never being happy. Anorexic's aren't comfortable eating period-doesn't matter who's in front of them. And high caloric juice is definetly going to be on one's guilty mind for the rest of the day.
Just a little, well big, thing I thought I'd share.
I'm really impressed how you wrote the whole scene with Bill pushed the food around and hiding it, you really tapped into his character there. :)
He definetly has an eating disorder, but I don't think anorexia.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a bitch, but I've expierenced anorexia and it's not something to be taken lightly, even in a story.
Other than that I absolutely love this story. Bill's put through so much but he actaually handles it very well-so far. :P
Ps. I'm so jealous you're going to Germany AGAIN. I've never been there ONCE, lol. I'm going this summer though, tell me how you liked it and what I should expect. :P Are there lots of TH posters and stuff?
Please don't think I'm a bitch for ranting, it's just something personal and a real life nightmare and it's hard seeing it tossed around with ease.

D:
This had me bawling my eyes out for the last ten chapters!
Does Bill remember that Bushido was the one who gave him the broken rib? And does he pretty much remember everything now? Or is it still a little patchy during his amnesia stage?
LOVED this story, though. It's been inspiring me to continue writing one of my old stories, so thank you!
I'm off to read the sequel now!

"I instantly bit my tongue back. I wasn’t gay, was I? No, I didn’t think I was. I’d stared at too many girls already to be gay. Too many hot girls. So many hot tits and short skirts that I just wanted to find the nearest room, rip my pants to shreds, and shove my engorged-"
Oh dear god.
I laughed for like, 20 minutes.
Author's Response: Haha, I loved that line too. That was Bill's first big personal reveal haha xD

ugh bulimia...i saw on Tv about a model who was bulimic and she binged so much one day that by the time she reached the toilet to throw up, her stomach exploded and she died :(((( so tragic, it's so horrible that people fall into such patterns
Date: 02/04/11 01:11 am Title: 15. I Love You, Mom
waaaaaah! *tissues* aaaaw, I'm sorry if you have a rocky parental relationship...I am so happy to be very close to both of my parents, despite the fact that they dislike each other...(divorced 14 years ago) I know I am very very lucky, and I'm so sorry to anyone who can't have that. ;_;
Date: 02/04/11 12:58 am Title: 14. The Way He Feels
I have seen Coldplay and TH too! ahah, Coldplay is wonderful live...maybe better, musically, but TH is better...excitement-wise. it's not like i was falling all over myself to be in the presence of...coldplay singer. lol, see? oh, and i read a great and terrible beauty, and the rest of the series, too :)
Date: 02/03/11 08:09 pm Title: 12. Did I Do That?
1. the accident is what i thought it was :)
2. not confusing
3. aw yah, so cute :3 i dont know...i think my favorite line was that he had the coolest room in the world
4. i think bill was completely messed up before the accident, thanks to daddy and the fact that even at school, where daddy isnt, people like tom only made it worse and tried their hardest to make his life horrid. it's so bad that he doesnt eat and thinks no one in the world cares for him...which i guess was sort of true, but really really horrible, especially that he blamed himself instead of realizing it was just because everyone were ignorant fucktards
Date: 02/03/11 03:40 am Title: 9. Families Aren't Always Fairytales Part 1.
im sorry about CB :( i really liked Final Attraction. ahh dad is bad news...but it would be nice to wake up rich one day..:)
Author's Response: I absolutely loved Cinema Bizarre, and I still listen to them all the time. Haha, yes it would be xD
Date: 02/02/11 06:03 pm Title: 40. Epilogue
Have I ever told you that this is my favorite Fanfic?
I just read it for the thrid time :)
Author's Response: Wow!! That's awesome! I feel really honored. I've been rereading it myself actually, and I'm probably going to edit it once school is finished because there's some spelling/grammar mistakes I'd like to correct. :D
Date: 02/02/11 05:26 pm Title: 4. So....He's a Vegetarian?

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! :D
Date: 02/02/11 05:08 pm Title: 1. First Day
isn't it normal for german students to take two foreign languages? haha, in high school I took French and Japanese and Spanish so it doesn't seem strange to me, though I'm American
Author's Response: For German students its normal to take two foreign languages, but because American students typically only study one, I made that note.
Date: 12/27/10 03:26 am Title: 40. Epilogue
wow it was amazinggggggg love it so much
*runes to read the sequel*
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!!! I'm really glad you enjoyed the story, and have fun reading the sequel!!! :D
Date: 10/11/10 03:13 am Title: 40. Epilogue
Awwwww *heart*
You threw me with that picture for a moment. I thought it had to do with the ending scene XD But how awesome!
Author's Response: (= Yea, a lot of readers were surprised at the ending picture. It was seriously the least I could do to show my love for you guys after all the support I received from everyone :D
Date: 10/11/10 03:11 am Title: 39. I Have Something To Say
Hmm, I noticed Bill didn't explicity tell Tom that his father sexually abused him. He just said he "beats" him. I suppose Tom made that assumption in addition?
Author's Response: No, Bill didn't directly tell Tom that his father sexually abused him, but I would think that because Andreas told about the rape, and Simone and Gordon knew about it, they would have either told Tom or Bill would have ended up telling him later. So, I'd say that yea, Tom knows about the sexual abuse.
Date: 10/11/10 03:01 am Title: 38. The Truth Part 3.
*slumps in happiness* Mein Gott, the catharsis is amazing. It makes my heart soar when an abused person - especially one with such a beautiful soul like Bill's - finally gets help.
Author's Response: I'm having a catharsis now too! I've read a handful of tragic fics today that have really gotten to me. I love when abused people get helped too :D
Date: 10/11/10 02:45 am Title: 37. The Truth Part 2.
Oh god, the entire last section made me tear up! ;.;
Author's Response: Awww :)
Date: 10/11/10 02:26 am Title: 33. Where He Lies Broken Inside
Lol, I'm pretty confused. I thought Tom had drunkenly crashed his car into Bill's parked one, not knowing he was in there. But now I see that Bill was driving, and he did crash into a barrier?
edit: Oh, wait a second.... Those were two separate things, weren't they... So now I'm comprehending that Tom crashed into Bill's car, giving him the initial concussion, and then within that day - due to that concussion - he crashed his car, resulting in amnesia?
Author's Response: No, Tom had beaten Bill up (when Bill was already concussed) and Bill was too disoriented to drive because of that. Bill was driving, became dazed and confused, and crashed into the barrier himself. The car crash resulted in Bill's amnesia, yes. I hope that makes more sense now.
