Nicole and Aden being a couple would not work in my opinion. I'm not sure why some believe that they would have had less drama. I guess it's easy to believe that when so far their scenes are just lighthearted. If Nicole had been the one paired with Aden from the beginning then she would have been the one beside him through all his issues. And instead of cutesy scenes, we would have saw them go through that drama that came along with it. I wonder if it would still have the same appeal to most. Since it seems what attracts them most to their scenes is the fact that it's funny, and cute. I'm guessing that considering ever since they became 'bestfriends' that's mostly the kind of scenes they've had. Also we've seen in the beginning that Nicole wouldn't have been cut out to handle the issues that came along with being with him. From when his father was in hospital, calling him pathetic because he went to see Belle, calling him disgusting instead of just letting him down gently. Because apparently it's good to put down someone who is in an already fragile state. She wasn't selfless enough, back then, to realise that sometimes you have to put someones else's feeling first. Also even after the OC, her first action as his new bestfriend was helping him put off having to take responsibilty for his actions. I feel it's easy to say two people would perfect together when all you see them do is smile and joke every once in a while(after most of the real issues have been dealt with, mind you, and even then they aren't the ones helping you get past the remaining ones, and mostly only when they are seperated from their partners), but, for me, what makes a really good couple is how they are willing to help each other during the hard times together or apart. The everyday hard stuff. And going through that may not be as cute, funny, or even makes you smile for most part while watching, but it feels more real and shows so much more depth, so it's pleasure watching. This way when the characters finally get to be happy and act cute it makes it so much better to watch. I'd take this over those cutesy and cliched stuff anyday. I love it when I don't feel like I have to turn my brain off to get through a scene like I have to do with anything Nicole related recently. As for their friendship, it was so clearly created because with Belle and Geoff out of the picture, Aden and Nicole had no one to interact with around their age. The same way they created Nicole's random friendship with Geoff to get them together, they created this friendship for when she doesn't have Geoff. Since the writers were to busy having Nicole jump from feelings for Aden, straight to feelings for Elliot, straight to feelings for Geoff, to form proper bonds for Nicole with other characters in her group. And Aden doesn't actually have anyone around his age to interact. This friendship doesn't feel any different then when they sometimes pair up characters around the same age because theres no one else for them.

Now that I've caught up with the last few chapters, once again you are brilliant when it comes to comedy. I can't believe you would think anyone would find this boring. It's so wacky, out there, and all kinds of awesome, that I don't want to think about when you will finish with this and the sequel. I really enjoyed Aden's scene with Celeste. The scenes were so sad yet so funny as well. I felt sorry for her when she died. Belle's worry over Aden was cute. I loved Melody offering to let Belle use the small corner in her office to cry. Such a weird and funny way to extend an olive-branch, but I wouldn't expect any else here. Belle's competitive streak was another funny thing. I loved how she slammed the door in Aden's face as well. Thats really sad . I'm going to miss Melody. She was one of my favourites here. Please update soon.

I have to agree with almost everyone, this last chapter was fantastic. As well as the ones leading to it. The last few chapters have been really good. I'm loving the way you are handling this situation with Aden. It's a pleasure to read. I loved those scenes whenever Belle felt like they finally made a breakthrough she'd wake up only to realise he was still not over it. Well not liked that it hurt her, but how well you wrote it. Because everytime, like Belle, I was convinced that this time he was really going to be there in the morning. You described his reasoning for not be able to move on from it perfectly, as well as Belle's wanting to help him. The scene with them getting to see the baby was sweet. It was good to see them happy for a while. I liked Aden's scene with Justin. It was the right amount of casual and serious. I continue to love Justin's characters. He's just so funny. But at the same time it's sweet how determined he is to spend time with Aden. My favoruite scene though had to be the one when he spoke about his mother. That was amazing. The whole conversation between Aden and Belle was beautiful. It also have us some information on what Aden's childhood was like. And especially his relationship with Justin. I loved how he explained why he didn't want to spend more time with Justin. Everything about that scene was great.

I've been quite impressed with Charlie during the last few days. It seems her ability to do her job well has improved tenfold since she stopped playing the role of Angelo's personal cheerleader. This Charlie is so much better to handle. I love that she's now following the evidence rather than making assumptions on a case based on how well she thinks she knows the suspect. This way even if Angelo turns out to be innocent, I'll still be pleased with the way she handled herself. She's being a bit more professional and unbiased, compared to since Belle's assault case last year when I was started to question if she knew the meaning of those words. I remember in a recent episode where she basically told Angelo that he better not think he can use their relationship to his advantage. Well we already know he doesn't have a problem using it. But even if he didn't I remember thinking I'd be surprised, from Charlie's behaviour towards him since the assault case, if he didn't get the clear impression that he could do as he pleased and still get off scott free with her on his side. So I was pleasantly surprised by Charlie's reaction to the fact that Angelo might be involved in Jack's shooting. I think after this I might even not mind Charlie being friends with Angelo again. Because the thing that I hated most about them is the way it came to a point where Charlie refused to see any fault in Angelo. She was still willing to defend him to the end, even when he was a suspect and she was the investigating officer, and even went as far as to makes excuses for his terrible behaviour. But now that she is approaching her job differently, and is willing to be abit unbiased about Angelo when it comes to her job, future interaction between them seems alright. I don't mind her defending Angelo on a peronal level(as irritating as it can be when she starts shooting her mouth of whenever she feels) it's when she started letting her friendship, and then relationship with him influence her actions and decisions at work it became extremely irritating to watch her. Right now I don't know if I like her yet but I have been liking the way she has been handling this Angelo stuff. I wouldn't go as far as to say she's amazing as a cop, because even now she really isn't, but she has proved that she can be a half way decent cop at times. As for those other unattractive personality traits of hers, there hasn't been much reason for them recently, so I'll have to wait and see if she's improved in that area to.

I can see why it's your favourite. I loved this chapter. Belle and Angelo working together was awesome. I loved her pointing out how similiar they are. And who knew Angelo could get so passionate about something. I also loved Aden's suspicions. He definitely is getting abit paranoid. Looks like Melody's comment really got to him. I liked it. So funny. Nice way to use Todd. I also liked that part about what she did after he dumped her. Belle seriously has anger issues, even has a kid. The next chapter isn't sounding good for everyone, but it sounds really interesting.

Nows theres the Amanda I like. I liked that part. I'm glad you added such a long Belle/Amanda scene. I especially loved Belle's thoughts on far they've come in their relationship. And how she feels like she can be open with her. It was sweet the way she let Amanda feel the baby kicking. Also I think it was good for Belle to finally talk to someone. Aden was certainly acting strange. Can't wait to find out more.

The last two chapters were really funny as usual. I'm loving Angelo more and more. Especially the way he realised no one took him serious. I loved the speech to Jessie about what he was. Jessie is really growing on me. I like her. Even though this is such a funny story, Jessie's storyline still feels like it belongs here. Poor Jessie. Hopefully Angelo will be able to help her. Aden and Belle are still cute. I loved Aden and Drew's conversation. It was hilarious.

Okay Nicole doesn't have to except the apology, but does she have the right to take off at others for feeling differently and showing the girl some kindness. Do they not get to have their own opinion. I wasn't happy about her throwing Belle in it has well. It was if she was accusing Aden of not caring enough about what happened to her, if he can sit here and be nice to Melody. And considering the way the have been potraying Nicole after the OC I find her reaction laughable. So far we are meant to believe she is so understanding, can carry herself in a stressful situation, and always knows what the right to say is. Now if she was suffering with the fact that she almost died, that was one thing, like I said if it was a comment made in the heat of the moment it would been fine, but earlier she looked perfectly fine for someone who almost died. Anyways enough about Nicole from me.

It's funny I've spent so much time hating the way Miles has been handling the Melody situation and in the episode(yesterday's) where I am finally happy with the attention he seems to be paying her he gets called on his parental skills by Bartlett. It made me feel a bit sorry for him, whereas anytime before I would have said he deserves it. I do think Miles was showing signs of improvement in this episode, whether it's because Kirsty wasn't present, I'm not sure. But I am still glad that Bartlett said that. I think he needed to hear it.

So Asia has convienently quit and Bartlett needs someone else. Ohh....maybe it will be someone who as shown they can be mature and handle themselves in a situation Asia couldn't. Who could that be? Seriously I literally roll my eyes with anything Nicole related. Predictable as usual. So yesterdays episode. So ever since the OC we have been seeing Nicole transform, overnight, into this mature, kind hearted, caring, loving, only wants to be with the guy she loves, doesn't deserve anything bad said to her because it's not like she done worse, kind of girl(I left out some of her other saintly traits). So what was with that scene with Melody. What happened to the 'mature' girl who would know exactly what to say. Yes Melody needed a wake up call. But what Nicole did, thats not it. Nicole was acting as if Melody locked that door with the intention of harming everyone. And no one should want to be in the same room with her after that. And everyone is mad for wanting to show her some kindness. I would have understood if this reaction came from someone, in the heat of moment, who actually had someone they love hurt but here it was uncalled for.

I really liked Rachel with Bridgett yesterday. I liked how Rachel refused to feel sorry for her. Or the way Rachel caught her by her arm when Bridgett was leaving the house. I much prefer Rcahel when she's like this. Although I do having a feeling that this plan of Rachel's is going to backfire on her. I hope it doesn't though. And I'm looking forward to Rachel keeping an eye on Bridgett. Hope we get more scenes like in yesterdays episode.

Since the middle of last year I've always wanted them to try and slowly build a nice friendship between Martha, Kirsty, and Belle. For some reason I could buy them as friends. I feel the three of them are really young but as had some really difficult stuff thrown at them at a very young age. And the whole three has a way of making the worse decisions. They could probably understand each other more. I find it weird that I want them as friends since I despise Kirsty, used to hate Martha(just started warming to her recently), and love Belle. But I feel a friendship could work between them.

I wasn't too interested in Belle's scenes from yesterday's episode. But only because I feel we've seen this kind of scenes before with her other hospital visits. With some changes anyway. I did enjoy the last scene. I was expecting it but I still thought it was really good. Also this episode finally made it clear what's going to be happening with her. It's the storyline I've been waiting for. And I'm glad that it doesn't look like it's going to take to long to get there.

The season finale didn't leave me liking Aden very much. Infact I was extremly angry with his attitude. Yesterdays episode made me feel alot better about his character. His scenes with Belle was what I expected so it didn't end up interesting me too much when I watched it, but his scene with Melody is what turned my anger around. It finally felt like the Aden who tried to reach out to her in the clinic. I like that he didn't let his feelings over what happened to Belle cloud his judgement. After that episode I think Melody is already clearly starting to deal with the consequences of what she did, and the last thing she needs is to be treated like a monster. I thought he acted kind enough without being to sappy or anything. It was a nice scene. I also enjoyed him standing up for her to Nicole. I did have worries last year about whether his new found cutesy interaction with Nicole was going to come between his caring for Melody. I think if anyone can understand what it's like to do things when you're not in the right state of mind is Aden. So I was pleased about his reaction to Nicoles words to Melody. I also think he needs to take Roman's advice. I can understand why he doesn't want to think about anything but Belle right now but I hope he doesn't put of thinking about his future for too long.

I just watched yesterday's episode now and I was going into it expecting Melody to be doing the old 'feeling sorry for herself' routine throughout the episode. She does have a tendency to do that when things aren't going her way. And from the discussion for this episode I was expecting worse than her usual behaviour. But I actually found her scenes to be quite realistic for someone in her position. I feel that everything is finally sinking in for her and she's starting to realise the magnitude of her actions, and she is feeling extremely guilty for it. And she was showing alot more consideration for people here. I thought she was being geniune. Yeah the 'you must really hate me' line can sound really pathetic when people say it but thats usually the first thing that a person thinks when they feel like they've hurt someone. Another thing that showed me how knowing what she has done as made her more considerate was her going to Aden to ask how Belle was. I remember that scene last year when Ruby mentioned Belle was coming home from the hospital and she said that Belle deserved it and wouldn't even have been there if she didn't cheat on Angelo. That's certainly alot different then the girl I saw today. She's showing alot more remorse. I have to say, even though I love her character, I was expecting her to do that thing she's been doing for some time now, when she's busted pretend she's sorry and play on Miles good nature. But for me she felt really geniuine. Infact it's one of the first times in a long time I thought she was being genuine. For me Melody is the perfect example of what can happen when a good person becomes troubled and ends up making too many bad mistakes in the progress. And sometimes it takes something as big their actions hurting people to finally get the wake up call they need. And I feel thats whats happening with Melody. I'm not sure about Bartlett's reasoning for expelling her as well. I was convinced that she would get suspended for her behaviour, but not expelled. His thoughts on her being better off starting of at a new school, I don't get that. Melody isn't someone who makes friends easily, how is she going to be better off in place surrounded by strangers? Isn't being surrounded by friends who care about her and want to see her get better the better option. Bartlett's decision feels more like one a principal makes to please the parents/students who wouldn't be too happy about Melody returning to the school. And is pawning it off as whats best for her.

Actually I enjoyed this chapter more than the last. I felt the Jessie/Angelo stuff was much better here. From the scene with Lincoln to the end. I love that we are getting to see another side to Angelo. And I think it written very well. I like how he was so concerned yet still himself. Funniest line of chapter. I liked that whole scene with Lincoln. Funny stuff. It was so weird seeing Aden and Belle act so cheerful together, and in front of people too. Maybe Belle is slowly getting used too all this.

I don't want a wedding as well. I know they love each other very much, but that doesn't mean they need to start thinking of wedding dates. The writers do seem to have a thing about marrying off couples really young. I hope it doesn't happen with this two. I want to see Aden and Belle (after Belle's upcoming storyline) have a long break from all the drama. Because even though I enjoy their scenes it can get a bit tiresome to watch at times. I'd like to see them just be happy as a couple for once.

For some reason I always remembered it as Aden always having to be the one who put it on(like here), but she would always insist on finding the right place. I really am confusing myself with all these fics. I liked this chapter. The beginning with Aden and Belle was really good. I like that you can still see that what he did is still effecting him, yet he's still trying to put it behind them. The way Belle kept trying to reassure him, and make him feel better was sweet. I'm glad Amanda made an appearance. Not sure which part you thought might be OOC, but I have to agree with it about the Amanda and Justin scene. I like that she basically told him to shut up. It was funny. But the Amanda from the show would have probably done it (shutting him up) by being her witty self. She wouldn't have stood for his flirting(like here), and she would have put him in his place has well. But she would have done it with some brilliant sarcastic one-liners. Infact she would have probably got a kick out of it. Amanda used to always be up for a good verbal sparring match. I don't see her acting this uptight, or threatening to call her husband on him, or even being too disgusted. She most likely would have enjoyed the chance to throw around some creative insults at him, and shutting him up in the process. It would have been more her style. I really liked the chapter. Hope Amanda sticks around. And her and Belle get to have a nice talk. I miss their scenes. I'm glad Aden isn't suffering too much with everything. Although the fact that he went and took out his frustrations on a punching bag makes me happy, because it could mean that this storyline isn't over just yet.

The Angelo/Jessie stuff sounds okay. But I have to say, wasn't really a fan of their scenes. I don't know, it just didn't grab my attention. But the idea of her was good. Poor Aden. With all the physical pain he as had to go through so far in his relationship with Belle. Please update soon.

Lol, that wasn't my fic. I think you're getting a tad bit confused with wrongturntaken's fic, 'Just In Time...'. Never mind, I get confused with the many fics out there too Seriously, whenever I thought of that scene I always assumed it was from one of your previous fics. It felt so much like a storyline out of one of yours. I haven't read Just in time... again in a long while. So I can't remember some of the earlier scenes. Thanks for pointing that out.

You're getting really creative with the names. I liked the scene. Another funny one. Seriously, there was no part in this chapter that didn't make me laugh. Lincoln and Angelo was so funny. So the big imtimidating guy tripped on a pink rabbit suit. I liked Geoff, and especially Belle's reaction to Lincoln wanting to kill Angelo. Belle's overreaction, in the meeting, to the whistling was hilarious. As well as Geoff's explanation to Jo about it. Also the one about why he found her spraining her arm funny. Belle certainly doesn't know how to be secretive, does she? The Aden and Belle scene was good too. Loved that it turned out to be a shopping list.

WOW! WOW! WOW! The last two chapters were brilliant. Seriously, it was absolutely amazing. They are definitely my new favourites. I know he had a nightmare again a few chapters ago but I was so caught up with all the Aden/Belle/Justin stuff I wasn't really focusing on it. And this chapter started of so sweet, and calmly that I didn't think for a second it would turn out this way. But I'm so happy it did. I love the way you brought it up. Her wanting to protect him from knowing(she's so much better when she's protecting him without acting like a mean, selfish, demanding brat), and his react to it was perfect. I know I haven't being going easy on her recently. And this line would probably be something I'd hate. But it was so funny. I could clearly imagine Belle, on the show, thinking up something like this. Even in the serious situation she is in. I liked this part. Stupid thing to quote, I know, especially when there was so many beautiful parts in the chapters. I tried to choose few parts but they ended being too many so I deleted all. I also actually found myself desperately hoping he wouldn't get too mad at her for keeping it from him. Strange, I know. But I feel, in this situation, it really was all about saving him from more pain, and not about how him knowing would affect her and their relationship. So I liked how you handled it. He had the right amount of anger about her not telling him. But most of his anger seemed to be directed more at himself. I'm so glad you went with this storyline here. It certainly reminded me of the Belle I love. She was in her elemant here. She acted the way I imagine her to be. As for Aden. His reaction to it blew me away. You wrote it so well. Especially his pain in knowing he was hurting her, and could have hurt the baby. And how he was struggling to deal with what he did. I really can't find the proper words to describe how lovely Aden's reaction to it was, so I'll leave it here. This last two chapters reminded me so much of the Belle and Aden of your previous two stories. Both of them were awesome in this two chapters. As much as I still wanted to hold on to my recent hatred of Belle, I couldn't after this. She handled this situation perfectly. And she reminded me of the person she really is, not like the person she was acting like recently. I'm so glad she calmed him down enough, that he is staying. When he was talking about making sure he would not hurt her again, I thought he was going to refuse to sleep next to her, or leave because he thought it would best for her. Kinda like that time when he accidently hit her face in the previous story. You wrote the situation, and both of them beautifully. It was such a pleasure to read. And I loved this ending. Not sure what you wasn't too happy with, but I liked that it happened this way.

I believe even the most unlikely relationships(romantic or platonic) can come about when you put two people in certain situations. And that's what happened with Aden and Melody. Granted I wouldn't want to see them hanging out with each other(that would be too weird), and becoming bestfriends or anything, but more sharing some scenes together whenever they run into each other sounds good. Although I don't have much hope for more interaction from them. I am still angry as hell about how selfishly Aden acted towards her in the finale. I hated him in that scene. He made me even more angrier then he did in that scene with Belle, in the episode before the finale, and that's saying something since I felt the need to strangle him there. He really got on my nerves. And going from that scene, in the finale, I don't think the writers are planning to keep with their interaction. I guess one of the reasons I preferred Geoff/Melody over Geoff/Nicole is because I'm tired of watching the same old 'lets see how they can make their relationship work since they are so different' storyline. There are some rare times in television were that storyline can still work, but 90% of the time all I'm left thinking is 'here we go again'. Another one of those storylines. It's just so overdone. It's not interesting, to me, anymore. It was along time ago, but now it's just boring as hell.

I'm surprised that someone actually found the pairing of this two to be obvious. I was actually quite surprised by them going down this route. Because it's always the ever predictable goodboy/badgirl, or the other way around storyline. Infact they rarely ever pair anyone who as the same beliefs with each other on T.V. And if they do, one of them will always realise they have feelings for someone completely different while still with the one who's similiar to himelf/herself. Atleast here I'm glad they only introduced the idea of Geoff having feelings for Nicole once Melody was out of the picture. And while Melody was there, the first time around, it was her he wanted. Even when Nicole tried her hardest to get him. It's always that opposites attract theme, and while sometimes it actually still works, it's getting increasingly boring to watch since it happens in almost every show. This relationship (Geoff/Melody) was a refreshing change. Even if it didn't last long.
