I hope you're all being safe– treat people with kindness :)
                          
So it's been quite some time since I've come on here. And least to say a lot has changed. 
                          
I'm not 15 anymore, i'm 22 and I have grown. I completely forget I wrote this until I heard someone mention Wattpad to me and it all came back. I wrote this as a way to be creative and get better at writing (re-reading this made me realise while my intentions we good, the execution was horrible). And at the time, I loved it so much, and I still do. While I now think this story has A LOT of problems, I don't want to delete it because it represents a part of my life that meant something to me, and I don't want to edit/rewrite because now I write for me and perhaps one day I'll share stories again, but for now, I like what I do for a living in the real world.
                          
1. Apart from the obvious problem, there's a part in this story that a character has sex with another character who is drunk, so trigger warning for that. While there is consent given, it still doesn't sit well with me as the character asking for the sex was in fact drunk to the point of not remembering mere hours later and was a virgin. These characters weren't in a relationship and one character fails to mention the encounter, even though they're aware the other character is a virgin. This is something I'm not promoting or saying is ok. I DO NOT agree with what was written here anymore. It's wrong.
                          
Lesson: Sex is good, but sex with consent and safe practises is better.

                          
2. Re-reading this, it's obvious this would NEVER happen  in real life. But my 15 year old self wanted some excitment to her life and this was considered excititing if it were to really happen.I don't think ANY character is a well-written one. They each have some kind of major issue and everyone is too forgiving because love apparantely fixes all. It doesn't. Don't hurt people on purpose, don't keep things from people with the intent to hurt them and basically, don't be an asshole.
                          
3. Major character flaw– Rosie is what we'd call the "nice guy". This is when someone believes they're owed something (usually affection / love / relationship / praise) just by simply being good. Rosie thinks because she's so in love with Niall, what she's going is justified. And like...it's not. You're lying to him and it's wrong. If I were to re-write it, off the top of my head, they would meet the twin by chance and Rosie would then convince her to go along with it. The reveal would also have Niall be betrayed and hurt and Rosie would have to face the concequence of her actions.
                          
Here's my closing statement; I think it's alright if you like this story, BUT if you understand that a) this is fiction b) the views and standpoints of these characters actions are not something that should be followed c) the real-life counterparts aren't a reflection of the actual people they're based off d) this would never happen in real life and it's purely fiction.
                          
I guess that's it. I'll promo my twitter @ltcupcake if you wanna follow me on there. Other than that, if you're wondering what I'm up to, I finished uni and I'm a graphic artist for a crystal company now.
