OMG this is a fantastic idea for a fic *off to read chapter 2*

[moongirl24]

I am SO happy you think that! I hope you like the rest of it as well :)

this is wonderful...i agree with you that molly's role on the show was far too brief. i think you found her voice beautifully and realistically while taking me, as a reader, through some of the events from canon.

you brought tears to my eyes with this, i can picture it perfectly:

"But I suddenly noticed a man who was sitting all by himself on one of those chairs. He was staring straight ahead, his eyes empty, and it looked as if he wasn’t aware of anything that was going on around him. He looked lost. Scared. He had a nice suit on, and a white scarf around his neck, but the clothes were covered in blood, and so were his hands. Part of the scarf had turned a dark, brownish red."

molly's thoughts hear ring true to me:

"I wanted Dad to love Justin again and I wanted my family to get back together

Yes, Molly has like, three scenes or something on the show, and we never get to see the more grown-up Molly at all. I'm so glad you liked this and that found her realistic because writing Molly was almost like creating a whole new character :)

Lol yes, obviously Brian had to give Molly a nickname ;)

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I'm so glad you liked this first part of the story, and I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well :)

This is great. I could actually see this happening.

[moongirl24]

I'm very happy to hear that! I'm glad you liked the first part :)

And as time went on, I started to think of Brian as one of us too.
Aww bless.

Loving this - have to read pt 2 later - can't wait!

[moongirl24]

Aww, thank you, I'm glad you like it so far! Enjoy the second part :)

What a great story idea, love Molly's POV on B/J.
Wonderful first chapter off to part 2.

I'm glad you like the idea of the story! I wanted to make Molly more involved in the things that we saw on the show :)
