YOU JUST MIGHT. What is wrong with you!

Oh God. I should've hexed this. What are you talking about?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What am I talking about? You! You calling out Smeth like he's some awful man! He's been nothing but kind to you, and you attempt to embarrass him because of what you think might be flirting with some random girl! I try to be quiet and I try to always side with you-- my siblings but I am sick of just being ignored when it comes to --everything so here I am! You are being ridiculous!

I love you, I love you so much, Jen, but doing this to someone who you supposedly love is not going to fix anything, and you are too smart to ruin everything like this.

You are not allowed to simply 'okay' me anymore. You've been running around doing your own thing for the past year, and I've let you because you are an adult and are supposed to be able to run your life the way you want it, but obviously you still have some maturing to do.

I'm your sister. I'm always going to be your sister. No matter how much you piss me off, at the end of the day if you need to cry to me I'll be right there. I'll always be there, Jen, but you have to grow up. I love you, but none of what you're doing right now is healthy for you and it's going to stop.

Smeth isn't ready to date you again. Maybe he doesn't ever want to date you again. You have to learn to accept it, and if the time comes, the time comes, but if it doesn't? You've already proven that other men can be interested in you. Smeth is a wonderful man, but he's not the only wonderful man out there. I thought my life was over when Jake died, but fate led me to Caden and now I'm happier than I've ever been.

Don't do this to yourself, because you are doing this to yourself, making a break that shouldn't be so hard into something intensely difficult to bear. You're smart, you're young, you've got the rest of your life to live and forget about all this mess. You're gorgeous and talented. You're lovely and loyal, don't let some boy make you forget all those things.



I'm sorry this turned into a lecture, but---I'm in mean big sister mode, now.

I honestly don't know what to say to you. I should probably say something meaningful and heartfelt but I can't find the words to put into words. There's a lot of things you didn't see in that conversation between Smeth and I and yeah, I need to move on. I know I do but it's just...hard to do. I'm learning the hard way on everything it seems. I was swept up by Ron Jeremy and I shouldn't have. Yes, I know I've been referring to him as Johnny but that's to protect myself. And him. I know I still have a lot of maturing to do. Life goes on, I know it does. I don't know. I don't know whether to start dating again or just completely cut myself off from men. I know I'm not going to talk to Smeth for a while. It's just for the best. I love him so much Stell. You don't understand. I wish I could use a time traveler and turn back the clock. I...just don't know anymore.

And I know you'll always be there for me. If I didn't have you I think I'd go crazy.

YOU SLEPT WITH A BLOODY PORN STAR? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT. THE. HELL. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DISEASES YOU MIGHT HAVE RIGHT NOW? WE ARE GOING TO ST. MUNGO'S RIGHT NOW ONCE I MAKE SURE SMETH ISN'T WORKING---A BLOODY--!

It's going to be hard. It's going to be very hard, but you have a family that's going to support you through everything. Maybe just hang out with your girlfriends for a while, maybe working full-time, just something. You'll be fine soon enough, making a great life for yourself.

I'm giving you until Monday to weep and eat lots of ice cream, and then you're completely done with all this drama.

I didn't know who he was.

I've got some plans made and I've been saving money. I think I want to own my own hair salon. I think I'll concentrate

That's brilliant! That'd be so cool, I will be your first regular, gossip away with curlers in my hair.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Curlers? Oh no honey. Not curlers. Your hair is not meant for curler. Maybe some red highlights.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Highlights! I've never done that before. Hmm.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You'd look pretty with them. Red and a few blonde highlights. You'd knock Caden off of his feet.
