The Straw That Stirs the Drink- an Idol Intersection with halfshellvenus

Can't you just listen for a minute?

I hate to think of the hurt forming in your eyes. I know it seems like I don't care about you, but I do.

Believe it or not, I didn't start this just to hurt you.

I didn't even like him when I first saw him. Honestly, he

This is powerful and heart-rending. Brava, lady. Keep writing like this and you'll be the last one standing this season. <3

My partner is the one who came up with this idea. Her creativity, suggestions and editting skills deserve the praise. Two truly can be better than one!

i really like how you and halfshellvenus each wrote a different side of the story. and it's a sad story, but with a hopeful ending.

We felt these kinds of misunderstandings ring true to life, in the busy lives most people lead.

She came up with the idea and how to use it. She did a great job! I couldn't have done it without her!

I'm glad you liked the ending too:)

This was heartbreaking.

Thank you for reading and commenting. ::hugs:: I'm glad you got to see the Hunger Games. I can't wait to see the movie. Have you read the whole series?

[baxaphobia]

Yes. I read all 3 books like an obsessed crazed woman! They were sooo good!

I really liked the second segment of your piece. It rings true.

Thanks for letting me know. This is fiction so many details I have not personally experienced.

I wrote it two different ways. I first wrote it differently and they divorced at the end but my partner had the good idea to change it and change the ending and apparently that was the best choice as you said it rings true.

Thanks for telling me! Feedback always helps!
