how to make a mixtape :: mgc (fin.)

last ever a/n!!

i'm honestly so emotional, i can't believe this is over

i started this book when i eleven (im thirteen now chill) and it was like a baby to me, from creating the characters to writing about them to crying in the middle of the night while writing because i'm overemotional and everything is sad. i still have the notebook where i wrote all the plans for all the characters and plot and it took at least five to ten pages to write. (i'll see if i can get some photos of it at the end)

i'd just like to say this book was so much fun to write, but it hurt so much every time i had to put maricruz through hell. maricruz is like my own child and i h a t e d putting her through so much trauma and making her so upset that it would make me feel so drained. writing the epilogue was so refreshing because it's like "yes!!!! finally be happy!!!!!"

i have so many people to thank. honestly. obviously if you're reading this, you're automatically thanked because ur taking the time to read words i wrote?? like wyd??

first of all, i'd like to thank CLBishungry for being here for such a long time and showing endless support to not only this book but to my music as well. thank u so much for tolerating my bullshit updates and uploads and i love you so much, you motivate me to actually get off my ass and do things x

next, i'd like to thank elisheba27 because she has been here literally since the beginning. that's a long time, that's like,,, since i was very smol and a bad writer and that's a lot of dedication because i sucked at writing and you actually continued, thank u sm

finally, i'd like to thank sadeyes_sadgirl because you've been here since forever. you've been here since 2014 when i was this little frightened girl writing about one direction who would come to you with school problems and you would always be there for me. i'm so happy that we're still friends because i know i can always rely on you, despite the amount of times i (annoyingly) disappear for no reason, you always message me back within a day. thank you so much for supporting me. thank you so much for everything xx

so, i guess this is goodbye from maricruz and michael :( im really sad to end this book, honestly i almost didnt. but, i really hope you enjoyed.

lot's of love,

delilah x

I'd also want to tell you that I love Valeria xx
