The crying fits of Emma Claire tore me up.. :( I felt her pain..when Annie was leaving, I think I heard her yelling in my inner voice..

And when Emma Claire snapped at JC, and he was slap her, but he stopped..whoa. Poor Emma, she's going through so much now...

And Annie's right, it is gonna be a long week, looks like she's missing him and Emma already...hmm..

Nicely done..

Oh BTW I forgot who Derek was..lolz

Thanks for the update! :)

Yay!!! New update!!! *Happy Dance* Okay, let's get to it: So, Annie actually left. That scene between she and Emma Claire was pretty tough. That poor child has been through enough, I can't imagine how difficult it was for Annie to walk away from that situation.

The conflict between JC and Emma Claire was rough. I'm glade that JC caught himself, before he got lost in his anger. That was a close one. This breakup is effecting (affecting? whatever...) everyone involved. It's defintely a lose-lose for everyone.

So here's what I'm hoping: That this time apart is only temporary and not permanent. I hope that JC can both learn and grow from this both as a father, a boyfriend, and as a person altogether. I want to see Annie come back, and for the three of them to become a family (*fingers crossed*). But first, not without some serious trials and tirbulations.

Great read as always, can't wait for the next chapter.
