Jonathan is such a meanie! Like, I know shit like that happens from time to time, but it's still mean and hurtful every time!
It hurt even more to see her just not be able to talk to him when he called. I never went through humiliation like that but I do know about the self-harm stuff and it's the pain that it represents that hurts more than the actual scars or making of the scars.
You captured her pain really well and now we know of the whole background scenario that has caused October so much pain and why she hates Toews so much. Bravo!
Little tidbit, watch your grammar. Run a couple things through spell check and make sure your tenses are right.
Glad to see your back updating this. I missed it. I thought you did a good job at the part where she was bullied, I guess I don't have much experience with it but to me it was believable. Good job! Can't wait for more!!
OMG!! This story is so good!!! I just read the last chapter and I was vrying brcause I was feeling all the emotions of October!!! It was fantastic but sad!!! Next time, don't wait too long to post the next chapter!!! If possible try to make it daily or biweekly!!!
I love October and her love with COD! It's brilliant and refreshing from the cookie-cutter girls. Plus, I just threw my mouse out of the room because someone killed me in LOL.
She's a clever one though, covering her back like that with Sharp and his wife. And what has Captain Serious been saying about "Missy"?
Toews's part was quite a joy to read! He's so adorkable! But hey... he has a thing for her! I can't imagine how he'd be when he finds out just who she really is.
SOoooooo happy you updated!! and I loved this chapter especially! Can't wait for more!! (are you going to be able to update you other stories? I know school makes everyone crazy busy.)
Ah I have fallen in love with this story! I'm so intrigued to see where it is going. I'm also wondering if maybe Jon didn't mean to humiliate her and just got caught up with the in crowd? Can't wait to see what really happened to October in high school. Poor girl. Please update soon!
Did I mention how much I love October? Not just the month (I love Halloween!) but the character. She is my type of gal! She's a PS3 girl for COD and if she was real, I would've loved to play an epic battle against her, [wo]man-to-[wo]man. But dude, I feel like I'm October for those moments when you describe her gaming system. I have all but the Wii, because my sister owns that. Seriously, I've stood in line for the release of a game with a group of my guy friends. I love this chick, though! October is freakin' awesome!!
I kept thinking that when she was thinking Toews changed, maybe he just changed his demeanour because she wasn't who she used to be, eh? But I'm glad that they both let down their guards from the club. That was just a bad first impression and getting off to a better start was a great thought. (In my head: "Bowchickabownbown!" [brown chicken, brown cow!!!])
