OMG! He was so close! All he needed to say was "Fuck this shit I'm outta here!" and then storm out of the car, jump into the next taxi he sees, arrive on Charlie's doorstep and never look back!
Hahaha despite how lovely this sounds, I doubt it would give me the closure I need. I feel like this story is leading up to some sort of gigantic moment where everything is going to come together and the entire plot is going to implode. Am I right?? No, don't answer that.... hahaha. I think it's all the tension, there's so much tension in this story I practically have to stand up when I read it because I can't keep still!
Also, I hate this crap they are saying about Charlotte! Justin better not believe it for a second!!!
Ok ok so that is all for now. As usual I thought it was an amazingly perfect update!! Thank you so much!
Author's Response: TENSION YES!!! This is what I want lol They're just so indecisive and that's one of the more fun parts to write, the back and forth in their heads and their struggle over what is "right" and what they want. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: See I don't think he's quite made that realization yet. Like he's had a few realizations about his life that he doesn't like but I don't think he's quite put two and two together to make Amelia quite yet. *sigh* Boys...so stupid lol Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Regardless...i loved it!!!! I'm so addicted that everytime I see you updated I always squeal! No lie!
Author's Response: YAY Squeals are ALWAYS a good thing! lol I think you hit the nail right on the head with he's afraid of change. The old saying about the devil you know and we KNOW Roxie's the devil lol I think the saddest part about Amelia is that she doesn't even THINK she's treating him badly *smacks her* I'm glad you loved it!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: I know Charlotte's taking a pretty big beating right now huh *sigh* If only Justin would act right *smacks him* I'm glad you love it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
I'm SO ready for him to be a GROWN ASS MAN and tell that BITCH that he can say whatever the FUCK he wants. You like how I capatilized all the curse words...I do. Hehehehehe! I feel bad for Charlotte but what she's doing to herself is not healthy. And poor Justin...maybe he'll get out of it. Not for Charlie but truly for himself. That shit can kill him.
It's like he's the cheese and Roxie's the grater...shredding the hell outta him.
P.S-Can Amelia have a family member or another friend who's disgustingly rich and completely down to earth? Not afraid to cut her down like she does so many others? Just a happy thought. Awesome update hon!
Author's Response: YES!!! Curse words need to be capitalized especially so Amelia can hear you loud and clear lol! I REALLY like your cheese grater analogy. shredding the hell outta him SLOWLY piece by piece. It works really well! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
I swear...Justin is an idiot! Why is he with Amelia, again? I can't remember...Someone needs to slap him upside the head.
Great update! :)
Author's Response: Oh I smack him constantly and he doen't seem to get it *smacks him again for good measure* lol I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
I think the general frustration with Justin has reached an all time high. I don't think I have to add to the sentiment that we all want him to go. But sadly, as he's petrified in this kind of attitude, it'll take a while for him to leave her.
I just recently realized how apt the title is for this story. In a sense, the title expresses the central allegory of the story, Justin's untying himself from Amelia. When you tie a knot, you make sure it's secure and it won't unravel easily. But when you have to undo it, it's all sorts of frustrating and difficult because you realize you've did a heck of a job doing so. And that's Justin for me. He did love her before but now that he realizes how bad she is for him he finds it difficult to leave this life behind.
I would really love to see more his reason for staying with her fleshed out. I get the explanation they were very into each other before and he's become so annoyingly dormat and complacent but it lacks in this aspect for me. It's not just stupidity or stubborness. I just don't find it in his character (the way you've made him) to stay this long in a relationship he isn't happy with. Or I don't know. Maybe I need to re-read again @ __ @;
But again, hats off to the technical and formalistic aspect of this chapter. I can literally empathize with Justin in the suffocating bit in the restaurant.
Lovely update as always~ Will patiently await for the next installment. <3
Ps. I've been itching to point this out since I noticed this error before, and I'm really sorry that I nit-pick but it's only because I covet his shoes, it's Blahnik not Blanik ^^;;;;;
Author's Response: EXACTLY with the title!!!! Titles usually give me such a fit, like I have the hardest time picking one but this one came really quick. Although I can't take credit for it - it was Megan - but as soon as she said it I mean it just CLICKED. More of Justin's motivation to stay will be coming I promise you that. I don't wanna get to into it because I'm serioulsy such a bad spoiler lol You can't trust me on stuff like that hahaha. AND GAH SHOE!FAIL!!! I do a lot of rereading on here since its simpler to consult the online text if I need to go back through and check something when I'm writing and then I get all sucked in and read two or three chapters but in doing that I've noticed MANY typographical errors and misspellings so I'm going to do a big edit and repost when I'm done with this but THANK YOU for pointing that out. Three editors and my own countless edits and we STILL miss stuff lol Its kinda tragic. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!!!
(2) Despite their cuteness, I am on the verge of kicking Justin in the teeth. Charlie too. They're both actually certifiably dense (if you consider ineptitude an actual psychological disorder).
Author's Response: CUNTRESS!!!! OMG BEST. WORD. EVAR!!! And Justin and Charlotte's level of densness has MADE dense a psychological disorder lol! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
ok i'm really trying to understand why he's still with her. I know in previous chapters, he explained how things used to be . . but they obviously aren't that way now . . NOR WILL THEY EVER BE THAT WAY AGAIN! I mean even if he doesn't end up with charolette . .grow a pair and tell amelia to fuck off. it's ridiculous!!!!
Author's Response: I know, Justin is seriously lacking in the balls department *shakes head* I can't decide if he's delusional or just pathetic. Maybe both lol We'll see how it goes. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: Justin is being a pretty big douchebag right now I will agree lol He's just so dang indecisive *smacks him* I'm working on the next update now so hopefully this next one comes quick *crosses fingers* Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
And that’s when it dawns on him. This is the rest of his life. Right here, right now at this table watching all these people whom he despises. Amelia’s ring glints in the candlelight and suddenly he feels as if he’s suffocating.
Ummmmm, yeah. This is news? This is a revelation, Justin? Really? REALLY!? I want to choke him right now. I really do. He can end this thing any time he wants. He's just too much of a whimp to do it. Dude's spineless. His little occasional speaking up is nothing in the grand scheme of things. He gets through to Amelia for 5 minutes. Then he goes right back to letting her do what she wants and walk all over him and she forgets everything he said. She's not going to change. I used to think that loved her and saw the good in her and thought she could change. At least there were reasons that he was with her. Now, I don't think he even loves her. I don't think he sees any good or redeeming qualities in her. I don't think that he believes that she'll change at all or that things will get better. I thought he was with her, despite all the bullshit, because he wanted the relationship, he wanted the marriage. I don't think he wants any of it at all. It boils down to him just being too much of a whimp to do anything about it. I thought he was choosing to work through his problems with Amelia but now I know that he's just knowingly choosing to be miserable. I can't respect someone like that. He's pitiful. It's just sad. SMH. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Please update soon.
Author's Response: Its so hard when he has these little moments of clarity because you THINK he's gonna come in and be like "OMG WTF am I DOING???" but alas he slips back into the monotony *smacks him hard* There's going to be more on his motives later so I don't wann get TOO much into that but I will say yes he's a big whimpy whimp lol Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
oh my god! i am freaking out for him right now....my heart actaully hurts. like, there's actual physical pain right now. first that thing with charlotte and the boss and this BULLSHIT with amelia. i swear to god, if they devil ever embodied someone, she would be it. heather, light of my fictional life, that was probably the most amazing update of all time!! and there was no sex! i was practically hyperventilating as i was reading this....and i actually yelled at the laptop- scared the shit out of my dogs btw. you are a god....well goddess i guess. i love you! you are amazing!
ps - feel free to let your head swell cause you deserve it!!
Author's Response: YAAAAY I love your enthusiasm Meg! It feels good to know that I can get that kind of reaction out of someone. Now that my head is officially the size of a large beach ball I'll just say thanks for reading and reviewing!!!!
I think, hope, Justin is finally getting how empty, unmeaningful and unfulfilled his life will be if he marries Amelia - i.e. the R.A.T.!
This was a very good chapter and well worth the wait.
Author's Response: EEP thank you. R.A.T. came up between Megan and I when we were trying to figure out a name for Amelia and when we'd finally decided I'd said "Roxanne Amelia Timberlake....what a shitty ring" lol and Megan totally came back with the RAD to RAT in one marraige line. Erm...just a fun fact I guess lol. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
I'm not sure how I feel about Charlotte being his 'side piece' while he fakes this relationship with the spawn of satan....I mean Amelia. The last couple chapters were awesome of course and I hope Charlotte finds her voice and tells both of them how she really feels.
Ki
Author's Response: Yeah Justin and Charlotte are entering some pretty dangerous territory. there's a lot of wrongness going on right now lol. I'm glad you've liked the last several chapters! They gave me such a hard time while writing them so its nice to hear that they don't totally suck hahaha Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: Maybe somethings gonna happen....maaaaaaybe not *shifty eyes* lol And no worries about how long it takes I'm just glad you shared your thoughts! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
