april + leo | real love.

for a proper goodbye to lapril, watch in HD.
"...I need him, I can't do this without him, I cant live without him..."
First off, I am so sorry for not replying to comment, youtube has been so horrible, but ill reply to every single one today/tomorrow!! So this is not a fantastic video, but I actually am really happy with it. Plus this song is perfect for Lapril!!
RANT-ISH WARNING:
Can I just start by saying, I actually no longer watch Chasing Life. I personally was only watching it for Leo&April, the other storylines never really caught me.
I am absolutely shattered. I was crying so much during the funeral episode, I think it was a perfect goodbye for Lapril however! There was always so much confusion as to whether April's feelings for Leo were genuine or as strong as Leo's, but I think the fact that she kept 'seeing' him meant that her feelings for him were so deeply rooted, which made me so happy!
I also loved Leo's letter, it was so Leo and so perfect!! I for one think Leo knew from the minute she had cancer that she was 'it' for him. Episode 6 is still by far my favourite, I loved how they challenged each other and made each other so happy in ways you just didn't see with the other characters, "he came into your life, exactly when you needed him."
I do think however it was brutal to have Leo die in their bed, that would have been absolutely horrible for April (yes, I'm aware it's only a show). I'm not naïve enough to believe that April wont end up with Dominic, however I really hope that they keep Leo with April, I mean I don't watch the show anymore, but I do hope for that! Leo was April's great love, I don't think anything can change that. I also hope that April stays apart of the Hendrie family, I mean they grew to love April and despite everything, Leo loved them!
I'm also really going to miss Leo's interaction with the Carver family. Leo and Sarah had such a beautiful relationship, and I just love how playful Leo was with Brenna...it was all just natural.
Goodbye Leo Hendrie! Goodbye Lapril, you really have become such a big otp of mine! Don't think I'll ever stop vidding them!! I actually have another Lapril vid in the works!

beautiful video

[@melprodz]

I can't stop crying, gosh, this hurt so much

[@Forwood4Life]

+melprodz still crying!

[@svfruzs22]

"thank you for being that person" I'm just crying again...like a little baby and I'm just asking myself: WHY??? It was the worst and the most unacceptable thing that ever happened in a show. I'll never forgive the writers... After I started this show I've realized I only watch it because of Leo/Lapril, like you said in the description. I was so happy when the season 1 ended with his proposal and I was out of my mind at the beginning of season 2. It was like I finally got a real-canon couple who are still alive...and then this happened. THANKS, really....-.- The video is soo amazing, it's really emotional...all of the scenes and the voiceovers you used just broke my heart again into million pieces...I think I'll never be able to process this loss. :'( Leo was a really great character...he didn't deserve to die.

[@Forwood4Life]

+svfruzs22 thank you sweetie!! Omg, everything you said...it's exactly how I feel!!

[@karolinavycaite8254]

omg! finally! someone said that. I don't watch this show anymore too. because I can't handle it without Leo. and I probably couldn't handle Dominic with April... I loved this show.. and now... I'm just dealing with Leo's death because it was a heartbreak (I know this is justa a show, but still I have strong feelings about it) ... loved this video. thanks! ♥

[@Forwood4Life]

+Karolina Vyčaitė thank you!! Yep, we are definitely not alone, I think ALOT of people stopped watching!

[@karolinavycaite8254]

+Forwood4Life i think i will never get over Leo's death. never..

[@fictionOVERreality]

I just binged this show over the last few days and I AM SO ANGRYYYYY. LEO HENDRIE DESERVED BETTER. But this video is amazing and exactly what I needed so thank you so much!!! (I literally came here as soon as I finished because I remembered that you vid them sometimes haha) Anyway Lapril is beautiful and this is beautiful

[@Forwood4Life]

ughhhh I know right?? I'm still so bitter over Leo! Hahaha, thank you hun

[@clase406marcela1]

the editing with this video is just beautiful. You captured the essence of April & Leo.

[@missjessieban]

OH GOSH NO YOU DIDN'T!! This is NOT OKAY ALRIGHT HUN??? You know I haven't even watched the funeral episode or any other episode of the show after his death. I am too scared...I don't feel like more pain. OH MY GOSH! Your editing is too beautiful for words. I am just...GOSH! You always vid them to such perfection!! This song is stunning and magnificent and you edited it perfectly! The fact that the show got cancelled, shows how many people stopped watching after Leo died. Everyone loved him to pieces and I feel like the writers totally shot themselves in the foot. I am really not surprised it got cancelled cause seriously...Leo made the show what it was. Lapril was an always will be the core of the show. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING JOB!!!! Your video killed me once again 😭💔

[@Forwood4Life]

+Legendary Dreamer ♥missjessieban♥ It's been a month since he died and I'm STILL not ok!! It is such a sad episode, I actually sobbed like a baby!! You are amazing with your comments!

[@italianbaby307]

My heart aches. I will never get over Leo, April and Leo together, or the beauty that was their relationship. They will forever be one of my favorite couples. So honest, so real, so beautiful.

[@Forwood4Life]

+italianbaby307 I know exactly how you feel!! One of my favourite couples too!

[@creativexdreams]

Noooooo you just made my heart break all over again! This video was so beautiful and you captured their love perfectly! Such an amazing video as always sweetie!!

[@Forwood4Life]

+creativexdreams they made my hear break when they killed Leo!! thank you though sweetie

[@Lbryan30]

Wow sad but beautiful video just like Leo and April's amazing love story. Great song choice and amazing editing skills as always. I'm sad that their love story ended so soon but grateful for people like you who can keep their onscreen love alive with your amazing ability to pick the perfect moment and match it with a song that seems to capture their love, struggles and fears perfectly. Kudos to you !!!

[@Forwood4Life]

+Lbryan30 oh wow, thank you!! it means so much!!

[@JDRluver11]

I must say that out of all the Lapril videos I've watched this is one of the best. I'm bawling. I can't stop the tears from rolling off my face. Beautiful. Heartwrenching. Everything that represents what Leo and April are about. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@Forwood4Life]

+JDRluver11 OMG, you have no idea how amazing this is to hear! Thank you for making my day!! xx

[@terrilynn88]

oh my gosh this is so heartbreakingly beautifull! you killed me. i love all the parallels and the quotes you used.

[@Forwood4Life]

+terrilynn88 awww thank you so much lovely!!

[@thisismaria27]

wow, this is sooo beautiful! the perfect goodbye to the epicness of Leo Hendrie and April Carver. thank you!!

[@Forwood4Life]

+thisismaria27 thank you!!

[@petr0vafire]

i don't watch this show , but , this was so heartbreaking !! absolutely incredible sweetie ♥

[@Forwood4Life]

+hybridxgirl thank you hun!!

[@VioletEmerald]

This is so beautiful and heartbreaking and well done. Amazing job! I'm sorry to hear you're one of the many vidders who will no longer be watching the show now that Leo's dead, although I get it. They were the heart of the show, especially this season, and well April's still grieving him hard, at least, in the next couple of episodes, but it won't last and soon they'll probably get Dominic and April back together and stop keeping Leo such a presence in the show. I hate the idea of Dominic/April so much at this point. I hope maybe the show surprises us and has April reject him despite what he wants. Like really, permanently never wants to be more than friends ever again. And he ends up not being a star of the show anymore. I know it's a very small chance but I *so* want it. I am pretty attached to the show as a whole, and Brenna's bisexuality is done so well, and the episode where Leo died actually mentioned asexuality, the first time I've ever been pleasantly surprised and heard my sexual orientation mentioned on a tv series that I watch. I kind of am intrigued by Sara and George and various other plots and I do still love April and want to see more of her journey. But the story will not be the same without Leo. I'm so glad you made this using the funeral episode! it's so carefully edited and powerful emotionally. I'm glad you're not quite quitting vidding this gorgeous ship. They deserve more wonderful editing from you. They will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for this amazing vid.

[@Forwood4Life]

+luvtheheaven5 Thank you so much!! :D Yeah well I guess I left at a good time since I heard it's been cancelled anyway... I haven't seen the newest episode, but I heard they put her back with Dominic? I really hope not!! Yes, could not agree more on the Brenna front! I don't ship Brenna with Greer like a lot of people, but I did LOVE her storyline, it was so well done! Yeah, I am so glad CL explored so many real life situations, it made the show so relate-able! I definitely cant abandon vidding this ship, they are just magic!!

[@VioletEmerald]

I am upset so many people left the show since it meant the show got canceled lol... but yeah. And yeah, I shipped Brenna with Greer, but also w/ Finn. ;)

[@ellieheyerdahl7154]

when leo died i cried the most i have ever cried watching a tv show.

[@Silviasi22]

My GOD... I died when he died ITS LIKE A BIT IMPOSSIBLE. Seriously? first wedding and then.. come on NOOOO he was the best, I prefered him than April... aghh and now they finish with this OTP for what, more drama? baaah I HATE them! anyway your vídeo is so EMOTIONAL and cuttie! love it hun! ❤❤❤

[@Forwood4Life]

+Silviasi22 i know, how cruel is it to kill him the episode after their wedding? it's just so mean!! thank you lovely!!

[@daksha1263]

I just finished the episode where April reads the letter Leo wrote and it's KILLING ME. like ugh it's unfair!

[@x.ph3onix621]

OMG This is amazing I'm crying all over again, Like how could they kill Leo off that's just not ok I haven't been able to watch the show sense. Such a great vid though :)

[@Forwood4Life]

+♔ UnderValuedOriginal ♔ thank you!! the show has since been cancelled since leo died!

[@lightsallfading]

This is so beautiful. I basically watched for these two so I haven't been able to watch the show anymore either :(

[@Forwood4Life]

+lightsallfading thank you!! and yes, every comment I'm reading feels the same as us!!

[@emmaQlife]

Wow wow wow!!! so stunningly beautiful! a masterpiece

[@Forwood4Life]

+emmaQlife thank you so much lovely!!

[@leytonairjesse4ever]

aww this video is so touching I am crying so badly:(

[@Forwood4Life]

+leytonairjesse4ever thank you!! we are all still crying i think!

[@LoveSucksManiac]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!? ;____; i'm crying again... this move from the writers was so damn cruel... i don't think i've seen such an unfair move on any show :'(( and i don't think i'll ever be over Leo's death... he'll say in my heart forever ♥ beautiful video sweetie, you made me cry like a baby... just SO PAINFUL! i also have a Lapril video in the works btw & i'm ready to die while editing it...

[@Forwood4Life]

+LoveSucksManiac UMMM SO DAMN CRUEL!! THEY HATE US ALL!! Thank you hun

[@GreysALIASAnatomy]

For what's it's worth now that the show is gone ... they really did become OTPs forever. Lovely video, so sorry ABC Family is in idiot for canceling this lovely show! :(

[@Forwood4Life]

+GreysALIASAnatomy I think that Leo dying 100% affected the ratings and that's why the show was cancelled...

[@beautyinsteadofashes1781]

i don't know this couple but i've seen them in so many multifandoms including yours that i didn't mind spoilers but wow now im crying.

[@Forwood4Life]

+BeautifullEnigma you should definitely watch the show, but yes it will make you cry!!

[@oliviapiotrowski5808]

I feel like their relationship made the show and without it him it isn't the same. I watched the show because of them. I miss him so much! #bringleoback

[@Forwood4Life]

+Olivia Piotrowski I could not agree more!!

[@jessicasmith8085]

Still missing it everyday

[@theycallmenat]

this is so emotional, i've got tears in my eyes!

[@Forwood4Life]

+theycallme nat awww thank you!!! I think it's because he is starring in Blood and Oil now, but still, he could have gone recurring!!

[@ThreeDivBirds]

You just broke my heart.. (in a good way of course)

[@Forwood4Life]

+ThreeDivBirds hahah thank you!

[@sarahnava4471]

I seriously thought they were gonna end up together. I really didn't expect the writers to kill him off. I don't know if I'm the only one but I do like Dominic just not with April. April was always herself with Leo, he knew her and he knew everything she was going through. Dominic could give her the sympathy she needed but he could never understand. I no longer watch the show bc they killed off my favorite character 😭

[@Forwood4Life]

+Sarah Nava I agree with you, I hate April&Dominic together, they are great as friends but romantically...no way!!!

[@marmar31227]

Who sings this can't find it 😥😞
