So sad. I feel bad for everyone involved, even if they do have their selfish moments. No one ever expects their selfish moments to end like that, and I can just imagine how she will eventually begin to blame herself, when it's not really her fault.
Soooo sad :( But so immensely good! I like how you've carefully thought through how everything interlinks etc, and the differing perspectives slot really nicely into one another - all working together to tell a very creative and effective story :) Looking forward to the rest!
Oh wow. I expected Mandi's story to come before the guy she was making out with. It's a nice surprise though. I like what I don't expect. XP
I'm sure this of your own doing, and part of the character, but I feel the need to point out that Erik is very obsessed with how pretty girls are. Like, really obsessed. Can I call him a jerk for that? Because I am.
You're making me feel so bad for these characters! :'(
Oh wow. I feel so bad for her. It's not her fault, but she's blaming herself. I know how that is, and it's not fun. I haven't even had a friend die that I felt responsible for, but I know it's not fun. That's got to be much worse.
I actually was just listening to an audiobook (The Adoration of Jenna Fox-great book!) and she said to her mom, "I killed her, mom. I killed my best friend."
Heeeey :) Firstly, please carry on writing - I am extremely eager to find out what happens! Secondly, I think you're description is very effective and your portrayal of her drunken state was really good - I was feeling dizzy just reading it. Love the way you've set everything up :) Keep going!
Very sad and touching.
