Oh my! I find myself feeling sorry for and repulsed by Em in equal measure. I seriously hope she finds happiness though, and that Gerard and Frank both are happy too. And Mikey, and Grace, and damn it I hope everything turns out alright.
But I realize that that is not the way the world works and that someone will probably have to get hurt.
I love the way all of these people are characterized. They feel very real. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I'm so thrilled to see that people have so mixed feelings about Em, cause that's exactly what I'm trying to aim for, and how I feel about her myself. As I write, I contemplate on wanting to hug her and shake her.
There's a new chapter up, I'm really sorry it took me all this time to put it up but I hope you like it!!
