No More Pretending. Chapter 14: Consequences

[anxioussquirrel]

Author’s notes: As you can probably guess from the way chapter 13 ended, this chapter discusses topics that may be considered sensitive. If you choose to skip some parts, it should be safe to come back for the last section of this chapter.

Also, because I’ve been accused of putting my own opinions in my characters’ mouths before: this is a story,

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE IT THERE!!!!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NOW!!!!!!!!

This chapter made me incredibly sad though. I will admit to wanting Rachel to keep the baby, mostly due to my own personal feelings and convictions, although I understand her reasonings for deciding not to, and it did seem to keep with the characterizations better for her to abort rather than to give it up for adoption.

Very well written, I thought that you handled a sensitive topic very well and respectfully, so I thank you for that.

What a very real chapter! I've lived through that very scenario myself (making the opposite decision) and you conveyed the fragility, confusion and desperateness so perfectly.

And then you go and scare the wits out of me with that ending! I guess it had to happen, but why so soon? And why at this moment when everything is still so fragile and uncertain :( (rhetorically questioning the situation, not your choices as an author... They are, as ever, perfect)

OMG.....

Noooooooo! How can you do that?!!! This chapter was so sad but I really like how they pulled together to get through it. And the end I just want Blaine to grab them and run. I'm so glad he was there.
