COT Chapter 14

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS SO SKIP IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE STORY YET OR MADE IT TO CHAPTER 14...






Now that chapter 14 is up I thought I'd give some insight into what I was thinking. I wanted to show how the separation of Trey and Bear affected not only them but their friends that really wanted to see tem together. The situation was hard for these guys. They have been so much a part of each other’s lives for so long and now there is a new dimension to their relationship that has deepened the love they share so they of felt the weight of the separation.

Jessica and Sean also felt this as they truly want them to be together so they try everything to make sure of that which brings us to the war of wills between Jessica and Lawrence.

People who know Jessica know think of her as maybe an airhead, or perhaps shallow but I wanted to show that Jessica is extremely clever. She came up with great ideas and plans that would help the to guys have some kind of contact, to the point that she didn’t even know how she was doing it. Sadly though Bear’s dad was even more clever than her.

There wasn’t a lot of Trey himself in this chapter but don’t worry because he will be back next chapter. In face I think that will be the only chapter like that for a long while where Trey doesn’t have a POV in it.

Some people may be wondering why Bear doesn’t just tell his dad off and leave. Well even though his dad hasn’t said it out loud, he’s intimated that Bear should think of Trey’s well being before he tries to rebel against him. Lawrence is a man with means and Bear knows this and doesn’t want anything to happen to Trey because he was stupid and angered his father.

Also no other adults are getting involved because they don’t know. As with most teenagers, these kids haven’t done the logical thing and told another adult just how bad things are for Bear, thinking they can solve this problem themselves. All Trey’s parents know is that Bear’s parents aren’t allowing them to see one another. They don’t know the extent that Lawrence is going to ensure this.

I will say that after a reread that I found this chapter kind of sad myself. I didn’t know that extent when I was writing it so if some were turned off by it I apologize. I will say that I think it was needed to see how bad things were for them emotionally. Things will get better though very soon so be on the lookout.
