Disclaimer:
This is a work of fiction.  It is not real.  This is a work of imagination.  Any significance to real life situations, attitudes, or actions are purely coincidental.  This is a story, and should be seen as one. 

On Plagarism:
Garnering inspiration from other works is one thing, but stealing someone else's thoughts is another.  Don't cheapen the writing experience.  Everyone that writes knows how much work is put into a story. Find your own voice. 

About This Fiction:

The Premise of This Series:

An introspective guide of being in love with your brother's best friend.
You know love wouldn't be so hard if the object of your affection would just notice you.
