True
Author's Notes
Yes,
there WILL be a sequel to this story. The
entire thing is planned in my head, I just have to write it.
More things will come out about Chloe's past, and her family, and there
will be more of a progression in her relationship with Brady.
That's all I can tell you for now.
Secondly,
THANK YOU FOR READING! It's all
of you who inspire me to continue plugging away at this stuff, and I REALLY
appreciate all the kind words. Days
fans are the best! You guys rock.
:)
Now...
some notes...
Special
thanks to MapQuest for giving me all the mileages between Salem (Illinois),
Boston, Newport, New York, etc etc.
Yes,
Chloe *IS* an NSync fan. I've
seen the posters on her wall.
I've
tried to incorporate a couple of elements from the actual show in this story.
Including, the Tropical Temptation storyline, the van crash will lead
Brady to get the Jeep that he has now, and the aria that Chloe sings at the
Met is the one that she started to sing at Salem High before Brady stopped
her.
Special
thanks to the Aria Database. Anyone
who needs help with opera lyrics and translations for a Brady/Chloe story MUST
use this site, it is very helpful. http://www.aria-database.com
My
apologies to Chloe for breaking her wrist, and having her attacked by a scary
man in a bathroom. I know she's a
fictional character, but part of me still feels bad when I have to hurt
someone that I like.
Brady's
childhood stories are ALL mine. (In the carsickness story, I was Belle, and my
brother was Brady who vomited. Basically,
in all of the stories about a younger Belle, you can substitute me.
They ALL happened to me. Honestly.)
Plus, the thing that happens to Brady's van happened to my best friend.
The tow truck guy told her she was lucky she didn't kill herself.
I
forgot that Chloe is a semi-vegetarian. So,
let's pretend her cheeseburger was a SOY burger, kay?

The
characters of Chloe, Brady, John, Marlena, Belle, Shawn, Phillip, Jan, Mimi,
Albert Miller, Nancy, Craig and all the rest DO NOT belong to me.
I only wish that they did. I
don't make any money off of this, I leave that to the professionals to do.
The other characters in the story DO belong to me, so don't use them
unless you have permission. Please.
(Although I don't know why you would want them...)

if you're wondering where the heck I got the title from, please check out the
following song: "What's
Simple is True", by Jewel
turn
to me with frozen lips / your hands are icy cold / your eyes burn bright
against the frost-bit sky / you never seemed more lovely than you do tonight /
pale on the horizon / like leaves frozen in the snow / our two shadows merge
inseparably / will time stand still if it’s pierced with cold / the more i
live / the more i know / what's simple is true / i love you
there's
a warmth in my heart / it haunts me when you're gone / mend me to your side
and never let go / say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold / the more i
live / the more i know / what's simple is true / i love you
twilight
descends on our silhouette / how soon spring comes / how soon spring forgets /
i wanna hold time, say it'll never begin / old man winter be our friend / old
man winter be our friend
’cause
the more i live / the more i know what’s simple is true / what’s simple is
true / i love, i love you
