Room 242 - Comments

My god. If I ever needed a reason to love you, it will be this story. It was scary, emotional and mind-blowing all at the same time. I cried from the second chapter onwards and I don't even know why. It seems like usually, there will be one strong one in the band, holding it all together but this one, everyone seems to breakdown and it seems so much more human. I love it when Ryan and Jon found Bredon in the bathtub.

I love this story!

This is a hard story to describe, and not just because the subject matter is so touchy, but because it breaks away from the norm. Like, what you mentioned in the third chapter, this isn't how the image of rape victims are usually portrayed. They are usually scared of being touched, and depressed, and sucidal; but Ryan is looking for the affection, he wants to be touched. I think it was good on your part to kind of show a different side of rape victims.

There are also alot of tense moments, where you can feel the tension from the story just by your words. Like the moment in the plane were Ryan seemed to have snapped. Your almost simple wording to describe the actions of the characters just made the scene more traumatic. It was like a dance in slow motion, elegant but was much deeper than that.

Stop making your chapters so good, dammit!! ... On second thought... don't.... :XD

PAGE CLAIM! ... Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!!! XP

Amazing chapter like usual. I have to agree with The Way with everything she said.

More soon?

This chapter was amazing. Me and my friend read it together and we were like "Whoah"

That's really all I can think of what to say.

Dru = evil genius.

"Hi." Brendon replied just as quietly, twice as gently, and three times as scared. Don't let me break you, Ryan. I don't want to break you.

My newfound love for Ryden made me melt for that line, though it was a bit sad, it was sweet.

Silent tears were streaking down Brendon's face now. Instinctively, he brought a hand up to wipe at his eyes. Gasping, Ryan moved in front of Brendon so quickly his body was blur. "Brenny? Brenny, what's wrong? Don't cry." His fingers reached out and Brendon stood up, fleeing to the bathroom.

I love how Brendon is here. He seems so vulnerable and though he wasn't the one who was raped, it was like he was feeling the pain too.

-Btw, I love how Pete is all so... "I'll take care of it" in this. Like he's their dad. :tehe:

“Wh-When he breaks . . .” Spencer choked on his words, burying his face in Jon’s shoulder and bringing his arms up around the other boy. “When Ryan breaks . . . I can’t fix him. Y-You just have to wait . . .” Tears were streaming down his cheeks now, stinging his eyes. “I try so hard. But I can’t fix him.”

Dru, it seemed so heartfelt, so emotional, so much like the words were a dam that was ready to break at any moment from the overflowing tears...


“No.” Brendon said, voice angry. “But we’ll get most of him. He’s ours, not theirs.”

“I want all of him back.” Spencer said miserably, hating himself for the weakness he was showing.

Brendon nodded, tears pricking his eyes. “Me, too.”

They're all so... I can't explain it. But I felt it.



The two boys fell onto the couch, holding each other and crying quietly. Mourning Ryan, mourning what those men had ripped from him in room 242. Mourning themselves, mourning what those men didn’t even know they had ripped from the rest of them. Mourning what had been, what would never be complete again.

And then they cried because suddenly acting like an adult didn’t seem so important anymore.

That made the hair on my arms stand on it. So, so true.

I love where you went with this. We all thought it was just gonna be a one-shot, but you turned it into this beautiful, heartwrenching full-fledged story.

Once again, EVIL GENIUS.

So sad. x__x It kills me.
I loved it.
I loved how Spencer bought all the candy and threw it away.
I loved how Ryan went to his dad's house and then after such a short time he just left.
I loved the last line of the chapter. Pure genius. O:

Too many things to say I loved.
So I loved all of it ;D
<33 katie who just left a shitty review. *dies*

It worries me that they are walking on eggshells around Ryan.
Is that gonna make things worse for him?
Then again...he's already not acting right. :(
Poor guy..

Thanks, guys.
I was a bit worried this chapter jumped a bit too much and didn't show enough, so I'm glad that you all proved my doubts wrong.

I loved it. Absolutely wonderful.

"Hi." Brendon replied just as quietly, twice as gently, and three times as scared. Don't let me break you, Ryan. I don't want to break you.
That made me cry. How everyone's so scared.

And then they cried because suddenly acting like an adult didn’t seem so important anymore.
Amazing line to end the chapter with.

This seriously left me pretty much speechless. Wow. You really are the best writer of this site.

Wow. I don't even know what to say.
I think that was my favorite chapter out of any story ever.
Really amazing, Dru.
=)

I loved everything about this chapter. The fact that Ryan acted like a kid on thte plane really set the entire scene. I liked the Jon didn't know his way around Vegas and he simply said "Google."
My favorite line

because suddenly acting like an adult didn't seem so important anymore.

I like the bit about how Spencer bought all of that candy and soda and then just threw it away.
I liked that Ryan acted like a child while on the plane. In Psychology we learned about how regression is a defense mechanism, so having Ryan employ it was realistic and I think added to it. Especially because when you're a child it's, not necessarily easier, but....it's being cared for, there's something of innocence.
I liked how with Ryan's dad's house, when Ryan is explaining why he thinks his dad missed him, it's because there were a lot of bottles in Ryan's old room. That made me smile because I got it.
My favorite lines:

Not to spare Brendon's embarrassment, but because nothing really seemed out of the ordinary anymore.

For a brief moment, Jon didn't feel like slitting someone's throat. But then Ryan's smile faltered and Jon found himself wishing he had a knife.

just as quietly, twice as gently, and three times as scared.

"You talked in your sleep." Ryan sounded like he was five again. "It wasn't even aword, Brendon."

“I think he missed me when I was gone.” Ryan said, not looking up. “I came here after he died, to get rid of the food and stuff. And there were so many empty bottles in my room. I think he missed me.”

“You don’t know your way around Vegas.”
“Google.”

This wasn’t right. They couldn’t be joking. Ryan was upstairs showering and he had been raped. They couldn’t joke. The world was ending. Or something.

because suddenly acting like an adult didn’t seem so important anymore.

That is so fucking sad!
Great work, I love your writing!

Dru...
My god, this is fucking so fucking sad.

Ryan is so...insane.
(I don't use 'insain,' here because it's more...intense than that.)
But seriously, I love it. It's like...you can't just get over something like that.

You maybe can...heal.
But no one's ever gonna be the same.

Goddamn. How can you write like that all the time?
You're so amazing.
This story's so amazing.
