Tell Me How It Feels

Author's Note and Character List

Author's note: 

So, it's finally done. Here, I'd basically like to thank everyone who had read it, or those who will come to read it and get here. 

It's been fun writing it and, although I'm not that creative or amazing at putting words into a story, I've really enjoyed it and plan to continue.

I'd like to give an absolutely huge thank you to @folkoff, without whom I probably would have stopped at chapter ten, despite saying I'd continue regardless of the amount of reads. She's awesome, and is the reason I'm still on here :)

And further thanks to @AvalonTheHoneyBadger for commenting on the majority of chapters, being lovely and readingmy story... Thank you :)

- Some  information:

I do intend to write a sequel, from Joel's point of view (still 3rd person). Again purely because these characters always end up floating around in my mind during exams or whenever they shouldn't, and I like to write it down :) It gives me something to do. First, however, I'll be writing something completely different. But by the time this gets 'up there' in the number of reads, I'll probably be finished two more books.

Also, I need to edit chapters one to at least twenty, so if you're reading this I apologise for the rubbish beginning. I'll delete this when it's all editing.

Anyway, I leave you with a character overview with basic points, because I want to... And need to prior to editing. I'll delete it when I've edited :)

Thank you!
