If you haven't read part 12, do so here. Or you can start from the beginning.A week passes, then two, and every day I curse the boy in the mirror whose spine is missing.
In stories and what I remember of films, character development jumps after a major crisis. A resolution is made and a revolution occurs. Were this not my life, I would have walked out on Mr. Hale within a week of the incident, or Brandon would have stormed the house and whisked me away for a happily-ever-after. It should have been my breaking point, when I said to myself, "Anything is better than this," and shook the dust from my shoes as I left. However, the shocking and unfortunate encounter on that fateful Sunday was a minor mishap, one that barely wrinkled the fabric of my relationship with Mr. Hale and was quickly ironed out.

ReplyDeleteGood chapter. I'm surprised, but not really. Haha. I seriously love your writing. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI wish this would have a happy ending involving mr. Hale, that he'd be the redeemed lover at some point, giving Bunny what he needs - freedom, love, etc. Alas..
ReplyDeleteI love how complex your characters are! Everyone of them have layers, and just when I think I've got one figured out, you pull back another layer. Too late, Mr. Hale. Loving someone doesn't give you ownership papers.
