Writing this story has been one of the best and most satisfying accomplishments in my entire life of writing. Five months, 28 parts, and more than 42,000 words later, I have finally finished “Forever and Always”, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. It started out as a simple idea and I had no clue when I first began that it would develop into something that I would pour my heart into. In the process of writing “Forever and Always”, I have cried an uncountable number of times and the emotions I felt were transformed into words. That being said, this story contains some of my deepest feelings and I hope you understand how much it means to me and enjoyed reading it. I couldn’t have completed this story without the help of some amazing people and I would like to thank all of you for taking part in this incredible journey.
Yerza – for reminding me to have hope and live in the moment.
Stacy – for always being able to bring laughter into my life.
Bekah – for your wonderful writing that inspired me to begin my own story.

And finally, to Harry Styles – without you, this story would never have been written. I love you, and always will.
