Trade Baby Blues for Wide-Eyed Browns - Comments

Personally, I would've, but then Anna is a stronger person than I am.

@ birds ate my face
You and me both.

Anna's mother comes off as a right cold-hearted bitch! Anna should of stayed with Pete

I wanna punch her mom in the throat

@ birds ate my face
Did you read the Pete's POV chapter? What did you think? :)

And yeah, he's a wreck, even more so than usual. Also, knowing Anna's parents, they're not going to go easy on her. And maybe you'll be right! :)

@ sodapop curtis
I'm sorry!! :( I so didn't want to write that.

Yeah, Anna's life is pretty much a mess right now, and she doesn't really have anyone she can turn to--except Patrick, who's thousands of miles away, of course.

Thank you so much for saying that about Pete/Patrick. It's so hard getting the balance right without making people just hate Pete. I'm trying to show why he is the way he is, and why he does the stupid shit he does--because his head is a mess--and I'm always worried he'll just come off as a general asshole. Writing Patrick is hard, too--conveying his sincerity and goodness without going over the top or making him sound like he has a stutter. But I'm so happy you think I'm writing them both accurately. Thank you.

Whoa

Pete is probably a wreck in his head, I wonder what her parents will say. And I think I figured out who told the paps about Anna!

Oh nooooo she had the miscarriage on my 15th birthday. You just made my birthday so much sadder

But seriously I feel so bad for Anna. She dropped out of uni with the mindset that she had a serious responsibility to take care of, and now it's all gone. How do you even go from there??? I can't wait to see what happens when she goes to her parents' house.

Also, I just wanna say, I love how you portray both Pete and Patrick. For some reason I'm a sucker for fics where Pete isn't a perfect angel and actually makes mistakes. A lot of fics don't accurately depict just how debilitating being depressed and bipolar is, and you manage to hit it right on the nose. You just write them both realistically and I love it.

@ KateeJayne
Sorry I made you cry! :( It sucked to write, believe me. Things will get better. Soon, I hope.

@ What_a_catch_lauren
<3 Thank you! I'm sorry. I so, so didn't want it to go that way, but sometimes the story has a mind of its own

Wow I'm crying at this, this can't be the end though something has to happen

Okay I actually cried. This is very deep and moving, I love it

@ birds ate my face
Yeah. I so didn't want to write that.

Oh wow, totally shocked and sad

@ birds ate my face
Pete is a wildcard--I'm never really sure if he's coming or going, and I don't think he is, either. As for who told about the baby...we'll find out soon enough.

@ khuckles
When I was starting out, I was 100% for Pete. But Patrick is now growing on me, too--I honestly have no idea where this is going to go. I just let the characters take me where they take me, LOL. And as long as there's one person out there who likes it a little bit, I'll keep posting. :)

I'm not sure what to say, I'm shocked and saddened that someone told about the baby; I have a feeling it was patrick, but I hope it wasn't. Also, I knew this is fucked up royally, but I'm not sure if the baby will be okay. It'd give them both a reality check, especially Anna, because Pete isn't who she really expected him to be, and that things are going too fast

It doesn't suck! Don't you worry. I'm glad you're portraying Pete the way you are, and not trying to sugar coat things. I generally don't say things like this, because I like the author to call the shots, but I would vote for Patrick. My first and foremost thought, however, is that Pete supports the baby, and Patrick remains just a friend, because it would be too sad for her not to love him the same way he loves her. I don't know if that makes for a good story.. but it would feel much better to me. Trick is so genuine and caring. Hope you keep posting!

@ birds ate my face
I wasn't sure which way it'd go myself, to be honest.
