"Chris didn’t break eye contact, giving Jensen a raised eyebrow of his own, "What do you want me to say? If you are? You are. That doesn't change anything. Not to me. Won't make you any less you." He didn’t have to even think about it, and it was important that Jensen knew he had his support no matter what. "You don't want to tell anyone, I won't make you. You want to talk? Then I'm here. Okay?"
Don't we all need a friend like Chris? What a heartwarming scene. Perfectly done, sweetie.
I looooove the girls night! All of them are wonderful and you had me smiling from the very first to the last. OK - the last line... " made me siiiiiigh...
#3 "Jared didn’t like the feeling it left him with. He didn’t even know how it was possible to feel so hollow when his stomach felt so full of lead. And he didn’t like what he’d seen in Jensen’s eyes. This was bad. He needed to find out what was in that column" ... OMG! What happened! What did he read? Ouch! Oh Chad, why did you do this - I'm sure he only would help but ... that wasn't very clever! Bensen? Seriously? Chad could have been more inventive :-))
Danni is such a sweetheart helping Jared to get rid of the paper! I love how you write her! She has her heart on the right place!
And this "he cupped her arm and it overwhelmed him a little when she just threw her arms around him for a hug which took a second or two for him to return. Before Danneel he hadn’t exactly had any female friends so hugging had never been a regular occurrence. Not since… It felt good. And for that brief moment it had alleviated the weight in his chest. " proves it.
Great chapter, my dear. I'm jumping to part 4 now because I can't wait!!!
Ah, honey, I am really so very sorry, for taking so long to respond. I hope you can forgive me for being so awful.
I'm so very glad that you liked that conversation between Jensen and Chris, and it was important for me to include that little flashback. It was one of the things that popped into my head very early on when I started writing this story, and ugh, yes, if we could all be so lucky to have a friend like that in those painful teen years, when we oh so very most need it. I don't know. I just really like having Chris being that cool calm collected kind of zen master-esque kind of guy you know? And I hate when he gets portrayed as a hotheaded and psychotically overbearing, so I wanted to reclaim his character and create a more positive portrayal of him. I mean a person can be protective without being crazy, right?
And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *claps* I am very, very pleased that you liked the night in with the girls, and of course the ladies themselves, they were so much fun to write and heeeeeeee....and of course got to throw in a little acheyness between the boys, well for Jared anyway, since Jensen is just so oblivious at this point *pets them both* lol
And moving on to your third point here haha you know it's funny, when I was discussing this with Teri (tmn1966) when I was in the writing process, the original letter, the person had used a fake name for their friend. And so you know I was like "Chad would probably come up with something lame." and Teri said "Yeah probably like Bensen." I mean I'm paraphrasing, but I just thought that was so hilarious but then also SO Chad, and I was like "YES! I am using that." lol I mean he wasn't being intentionally malicious, just yeah. Oh Chad. lol
AND HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE DANNEEL AND HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE MY DANNEEL, TOO?!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *TACKLE-HUGS YOU AND SMOOCHIFIES* /capslock ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
