**wrote this last night**

The end's not near, it's here, my friends, and I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and I'll certainly miss getting feedback from 'child who is cool', who always put, simply, 'great chapter'. :) I would like to personally thank all of you, but there are over two hundred reviews, buddy. There is no WAY I'm going to try to do that.

Thanks to the writers who wrote things to occupy my time when I was stuck on a chapter: Miss Fenway with her incredible 'Little Hollow', Clarry wrote 'Something There That Wasn't There Before', SiriusLives1234, who wrote 'Little Piece of Minnesota', which I found amazing even before I read the fourteenth chapter, where she gave me a shout-out, and many, many more. Thanks, guys, for giving me the pleasure of reading such fantastic stories. And to Miss Fenway, you owe me like fifty bucks in Kleenex money.

I also owe a lot to my older sister, Haile, who, even though she's a popular, collected, person, found it in her heart to read my little story about Big Time Rush, and not make fun. She always gives me positive feedback, and I'll really miss watching her expression as she reads new chapters, gasping or crinkling her eyebrows in confusion at something that just went WAY over her head. She cracks me up, and always gave encouragement. Every night she'd ask, "Did you write more?" And the majority of the time, I had. So thanks, Haile, my sister/fanfiction character (:

Thanks to my best friend Shelby, who read it even though I was probably annoying in trying to get her to start it. But she loved it, and thank goodness. She gives me the support I need, and always listens when I start rambling about some new, exciting part that I'm posting. I'm serious; it's ridiculous how long I can go on about this story. She read the last chapter last week, while I was asleep,( and probably snoring), beside her.

And thanks to my other best friend, Taylor, who also read diligently…I didn't even have to ask her to! She had read my Outsiders story, and found her way to 'The Only Exception' on her own. Thumbs up for Tay Tay Rizzle! And she also let me tell her over and over again to 'read the new chapter and tell me what you think'. I badgered this girl endlessly, I think, and she probably was annoyed by the time I published the finale. (:

THANKS TO GOD, OF COURSE! He blessed me with the ability to write and entertain you people, (though I hope you may have gotten more out of it than cheep thrills). He amazes me by how great that He's made my life this year, and for that I am eternally grateful to Him. I want to thank Him for helping inspiration to hit like lightening bolts, and for helping me actually finish a fanfiction for once. (:

And now that those thanks are over, I wish to tell you to do something for me, (if you haven't already). Go to my page and read 'Heaven'. It's James/Katie, and, in my opinion, one of the best things I've written (though it's only a oneshot). And PLEASE REVIEW IT. I need feedback like I need air.

AND THE LAST SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST): There WILL indeed be a sequel to this, entitled 'Boston' (tentatively). It should be up in a week or so, most likely. Check back if you even care. And don't think it's smooth sailing for Katie and James; love is a rocky road (and I thought I couldn't get any cornier).

None of you realize how much I loved writing this, reading reviews, etc. Oh, and a huge thanks to all of the people who put up with my ridiculously short chapter awhile back; I'm sorry for that. This story helped me through some tough things (i.e. the leaf collection fiasco, the history test that I bombed, and many emotional problems that I've had since it began), and I found it to be my therapy of sorts. I put a lot of myself into the portrayal of Katie, (except, I would've sent that SOB Zack packin' after the first slap.), and I think it probably shows to people who know me personally. It means so much to me that I was able to write something that had over 20,000 views in the first month and a half.

So now I must bid farewell, until we meet again in 'Boston'. (Haha, I'm witty). And it is named after the song that they kiss in, FYI, but who's to say that there's nothing more to the title?

Think about that for awhile.

XOXO Kaelynn Stewart, Almost Birthday Girl.
