Hey perfect people!

Oh gosh, this has been such a journey.

  At the beginning of each and everyone of my chapters I try to put a small lesson or quote. As if I hope I can help you all and your perspectives.

But today I have nothing. I have said everything I needed to say.

  I started writing this book more than ten months ago. And here I am on the last day of my summer break, wasting all my sleep to get in that last chapter and this note. I sometimes didn't update every week, and I definitely made up for it this summer by updating at least twice a week every week. And it's sad to say that when I have to write a chapter it takes ALL DAY! So it's safe to say that I spent my summer indoors writing all day. And therefore it's safe to say that I absolutely didn't get any tan.....

  But it was all worth it in the end. Because in the end I saw all my of my hard work paying off when I looked back at all those chapters.

  When I first started this book I never intended on writing it for this long. I never intended on writing 48 chapters, each chapter, minus the beginning couple, being up to 5000 and/or twenty pages. I never intended on keeping this big secret.

  No one knows I write. My friends and family, no one. I'm even still mesmerized to this day that no one has found out, but I guess they all just figure I spend that time cooped up in my room doing nothing. Well, Netflix and YouTube aren't nothing.

  But I've just felt like I shouldn't tell anyone about this book, maybe someday later in my life, but not anytime soon. And I know you are all probably thinking I'm crazy or something, but I just feel like I should keep this to myself. Keeping it my own hidden treasure. My own old secret escape from life.

  And even though I'm keeping this a secret, that doesn't mean that it's not important to me or not a part of me. It was my own escape as I've said before, a place for me to be in control of everything. And me being a bossy perfectionist really needed that at that point in my life.

I was wrapped up in school, my studies, my social life, that I didn't get a break, and then I magically did. But then closer to the end it become a chore, a task I needed to secretly finish and become sleep deprived because of it.

  But I am truly thankful for all of this, my escape. And of course the reads, votes, and comments. I may not always respond to comments, or thank voters, but I am honestly so thank you for every single one of you.

  So later on, once my life gets back on track, maybe in a month or so, I will possibly do an Epilogue. Now pay attention to that possibly. If enough of you request it, or if many people want to know what happens to Jess, Spence, and the rest of the crazy bunch, I will maybe do an Epilogue. But please do give me time and patience. And then I might even do more than one.

Oh..... And if someone decides what Jess and Spence's final ship name is, please do share it with me! It could maybe also be mentioned it that possible epilogue.

  And as I put this part of my life behind me I jump right into a new part of my life. Just like Jess and Spencer and all of NorthWood Highs new graduates. Except this new part of life is different for me. It's not University..... It's High school.

  But I promise as Jess would want, to keep this part of my life with me and never forget it. I will never forget all the hard work I put into this, and I will never forget my friends I have made because of that hard work.

I also promise to hold these characters together in my heart.

I'm going to let you all in on this and the making and idea behind 'We Saved Each Other'.

  It actually came to me in a dream, I'm not lying I swear. But it wasn't exactly this detailed or normal. It was just the beginning, and I wrote in most of the scenes and parts. In my dream I was Jess...... Okay please stop giving me the judgemental eyes people.

  But continuing, I was Jess, and it wasn't exactly like I had all the characters names just figured out like that. The only name I had was Jess. And that's partly because that was possibly what my parents were going to name me as a baby, but that's bro really the name that they choose. My parents obviously named me Ashley, not Jessica. But back to the story.

  Anyways the main plot was still there, but other than that all I had was Jess. I named the characters myself later on, doing the rest of the writing. But I honestly did base Jess off of me, except she is older than me, way smarter than me, and way more lucky than me.

  I'm going to end this on that. I would like to thank you all for coming along with me on this very very very long journey.

So this is it. But I'm not just ending it on that.

Anyways, what did you think of this book? Sobs at the sentence. What did you think of the ending? Thoughts on what will happen in the possible Epilogue? Ideas on what will happen in that epilogue? Let me know in the comment section! Please don't be a silent reader! I will miss you all..................

Bye for now my lovely bookworms,
