So many times I wanted to say, "Be latefor class." or "Skip football practice." Or "Meet AFTER practice or Glee." I am so worried about these two and I really want them to have hours of uninterrupted time together and I want them to be HONEST mwith each other, Plllleeease let Kurt tell someone about the note. Or have someone find the note.

I wnat Sam and Kurt to be OK. I want the message of this story to be, "Find someone to talk it out with and it will get you through the hard times."

Absolutely NOT to put ideas in your head, but I have found that a person who is toying with the idea of suicide talking to another person who is also toying with the idea of suicide is not a good combination. They just give each other reasons to go through with it. Again, not the message I want your story to have. THis was just an observation. :)

I'd have loved to keep their conversation going, but I can't have them slacking off :P They'll have plenty of time to talk on Saturday, promise :) And you definitely haven't seen the last of the note, so don't even worry there <3

I really want them to be okay, and I am hoping to make that one of the overall messages - but there are bound to be some bumps along the way. And I'm always up for suggestions, so don't worry about putting any unwanted ideas into my head :) I have considered that actually, but I'm not 100% sure what I'm wanting to do with that just yet.

Thanks so much for commenting <3

THIS STORY IS AMAZING. Their attitudes were so spot on, like acknowledging that things really aren't okay but being able to deal with it, it's so perfect. If the writers of Glee could get that across even a little bit it would be sooo awesome.

Emma actually being useful for once was <3. I like the idea that some people actually do go to her for help with serious issues, because we don't see that often.

And Puck doing Adam Lambert is kind of awesome.

And, yeah. I forget what else I was gonna say. xP BUT I can't wait for more parts. <3

[wakingnitemarex]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you think so :D And I agree; I really hope the Glee writers do try to touch on this subject, even a little bit.

I think I'd like Emma's character a lot more if the writers would make good use of her, so I'm really happy that you think I'm making her relevant. Thank you! :)

Way too awesome, haha.

Thanks so much for commenting <3

This is great. I don't feel like writing about something like this in a respectful way could ever be a bad thing. Whether it's for entertainment alone or not, it can raise consciousness. Which is the best thing that can be done about a tragedy instigated by ignorance.

On a story related note, i love seeing sam's anger. It helps explain his canon denial. And kurt's pov is so good. His flawed reasoning when talking to emma and his empathy with sam are so obvious and lovely to read.

[wakingnitemarex]

Thank you so much <3 I'm relieved that you think writing about this isn't disrespectful. Awareness really is a huge part of what I'm going for, but of course entertainment is still a factor.

Thank you <3 I'm really trying to handle them well, and it's particularly hard with Sam, as we still have so little to go off of.

My candy wrapper keeps moving and catching the light and distracting me...

He greeted him brightly with a ‘hey!’, comma, babe! <3

Kurt is SO SWEET to Sam. We've really only seen him be sweet to his dad and occasionally Mercedes in the show and idk it just makes me smile so much. Like of course he's not going to be a bitch but still. BAWW KURT. YOU ARE BEING SO SWEET AND NICE AND SOFT. I LIKE IT A LOT.

MRS. EVANS I AM GOING TO FROWN DEEPLY AT YOU CAUSE I AM NOT HAPPY AT YOU. YOU SHOULD BE HIS BIGGEST FAN (even though i was the one who basically put it in my personal canon but w/e w/e w/e) Yes Kurt, you realize how lucky you are boy.

He simply nodded in response to Sam’s ‘thanks’, comma! I almost typed coma. That would be rather distressing for me to tell you to change that to coma. DON'T PUT THEM IN A COMA. /ramble

[wakingnitemarex]

LMAO. Silly candy wrapper.

damn commas :| xD; Thanks, love <3

I HAVE SUCH A WEAKNESS FOR SWEET/SOFT KURT. And he never really needed to be like that with Finn, but Sam kind of needs that and, so, that's what Kurt gives him.

YOU CAN'T YELL AT MRS. EVANS, YOU MADE HER THE WAY SHE IS~ :P (no but seriously, thank you <3). I think Kurt forgets how lucky he is a lot of the time, because he and his dad aren't really perfect - but they have a relationship that a lot of lgbt people would give anything for.

OMG, WHY DO YOU WANT KAM TO GO INTO A COMA, YOU TERRIBLE PERSON ;_; Why are comma and coma so similar in spelling? Grr.

It's so very much not Sam's fault at ALL :( But he just wishes he was better and his mom loved him again. Sigh :( Kurt will help him see reason eventually. And Kurt hurts my heart muchly :( but yes, Burt loves him and doesn't care about the hardships because Kurt is his boy and yeah. <3

Kurt wishes Finn rubbed off on him. SORRY, I HAD TO

Written over it in the same ink that had damaged his locker were the words “take a hint, fairy,” and Kurt had to fight a little harder than he usually did to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes.

I kinda had a comment thought out in my head until I read that. Then everything was just gone. It terrifies me that there really are people who think like that.

Thankfully, you're taking this story in a hopeful direction. ♥

[wakingnitemarex]

I'm sorry I wiped your head blank, but at the same time, I'm really glad that the message was so powerful. It hurts my heart and makes my blood boil how cruel some people are :(

There are bound to be some bumps along the way, but I really do want this to be a story of hope. <3
