@ lady_enygma Thanks! Me too! I think things will be pretty normal for a while. We'll see :D
@ bobobo I really struggled with how long I thought the break should've been. I wasn't sure if I wanted it to just be the week Patrick was away, or if it should have been longer, but I realized I wouldn't have fun writing chapters without them together so it was easier for me to put their break in this chapter. Maybe if I wasn't as lazy I could've dragged it out, but I was feeling a little lazy today, haha.
@ star collision. I thought the break would be a good idea, just to clear their heads, because it was so awkward and they could barely be around each other, you know? I feel sorry for Pete too. He doesn't know what to do, and he's torn between the two parties and feeling the repercussions full force. I like your idea about the picture, how scandalous!
I'mglad they decided to take that break. I feel like it was the best thing to do, given the situation. They seemed so tense and awkward with one another. Also, I feel a bit sorry for Pete. I don't know what it is. I guess it's because he genuinely knew he was being a shitty friend. Like he was caught between staying friends with Patrick and comforting Ava. Also, I'm wondering if the fan snapping a picture of Patrick and Ava will escalate into anything.
You know, I thought it'd have to be more dragged out between Ava and Patrick but I think you did a good job of tying it together and not forcing it to be super long. Patrick and Pete on the other hand.... I'm excited to see what you decide to do!
Yes! I think Ava should totally be skeptical still, especially because Patrick hasn't even talked to Pete yet. It would be so easy for Pete to throw that in Patrick's face if they ever got in a fight! And I agree with everyone down there: a bigger issue and time apart with Pete and Patrick together? Drammmaaaaaaaa! You're Killin me!
Pete and Patrick in one chapter?! JFC. I nearly died. Seriously. Patrick is very forgiving, but it's not surprising that he'd be harder on Pete than on Ava, considering being a dick is Pete's MO. I understand why she slept with Pete. When you're feeling vulnerable, and upset, and drunk, things can happen, especially when there's a level of familiarity between two people. I don't blame her for it, because how she felt afterwards was punishment enough.
@ bobobo I've started the next chapter (might be up tonight!!) and I addressed the very issue of her saying it over text. Like, come on Ava. But at the same time I can sympathize because she felt too guilty to wait. I was nervous for her too, I still am!
@ holysmokes13 I know, Patrick was pretty willing to forgive her after some sex, but I think upon reflection he's going to regret it!
@ birds ate my face I'm upset she slept with Pete too. It was wrong, and Pete knew it, so I'm mad at him too.
Through text though??? Really?! I have a hard time believing it'll be that easy for Patrick to forgive her. I felt nervous for her while I was reading that last chapter holy crap!
NAAAAAHHH AVAAA. Whoa Patrick forgave her this easily:0 good because I would've died if they didn't make up! And jfc Pete, I'm so mad at him right now, I thought he would really care about his best friend, you know, bros before hoes or something like that. I'm so stoked about this story omg:}
I don't know what to say., only that I'm very upset that she slept with Pete, as hot as he is, you cannot cheat on psteezy! But, I don't hate you for it, it was hot and amazing, and it makes for a better story and draa! Kudos, I loved it.
Also, I'd love to read Pete and Patrick boxing lol
@ star collision. It's one huge clusterfuck of assholes and anger and confusion. I don't know if this is the end of Patrick's distrust of Ava. I don't think it is. I know he's certainly not going to forgive Pete for any of this, not yet at least. Although Patrick was an ass I don't think he deserved this, and I think Ava's being let off a little too easily. She'll have to work for his trust. We'll see what happens from here
Okay so I'm kind of annoyed at Ava. And Pete. Pete is an ass, but it's good that he can admit that he's wrong at least. I feel sorry for Patrick, but he was an ass too. I'm so glad they've made up, though.
@ star collision. Thank you!! I know, Pete shouldn't have done it, and I don't think Patrick is going to be so forgiving toward him. He'll forgive Ava, but not until she pays a small price. I'm glad that you like this other side of him, I thought it was interesting to explore. I really appreciate you reading, I'll be posting another chapter in just a little while!
So I just read this so far in full and I have to say I'm amazed. I love how you've written Patrick and I really like Ava too. And their relationship is so well constructed. I love the fact that in chapter one Patrick is trying to be so smooth, making something up about wanting to get something for his mum just to talk to her. Also Ava's relationship with Pete is interesting too. But I'm really not rooting for Pete at the moment. He should have known how wrong it was to go behind his best friend's back like he has. Also, I like angry Patrick. I don't know, it's just nice to see another side to him. Stoked for more!
