I enjoyed this, it's well written and i felt empathy for your main character. I only have 2, and they are only minor stylistic things.

Well, i'm assuming your character is living in England and is English, (i haven't familiarised myself with the rest of this novel) so writing 'mom' is rather out of place. Even if it's only to avoid conflict with an American audience, it shouldn't be a problem to write 'mum'. I'm just being a bit of a pedantic so-and-so

“Well, we are having a baby! Isn’t that amazing! You always said you wanted a little brother or sister!”


'we are' sounds rather unnatural, i would have written we're.

Hello Meevs!!

This was really good, I liked the description of Nick; however some of the stuff Jaimiy has started saying seems a little out of place....
Has he developed an attitude??? Other than that I love Ice Cubes!!!!

Yeah Jaimy is being snappy and rude simply because he just feels unwanted by Rob and he's just angry at the whole situation.

I don't blame him for being upset!

“Well, we are having a baby! Isn’t that amazing! You always said you wanted a little brother or sister!” She nodded at me furiously, like she was telling me that I wanted a brother or sister.


GRRRR....I saw this one coming....


hehe, I do like Nick a bit more now that I've read about him though. haha, it would be funny if he turned into Chris...I would laugh a little =D

Once again, great stuff! Can't wait to read the rest!

But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett

Hey JC, thanks again :) Nick is not going to turn into chris lol, I just won't let myself write that!

Oh and Rob and Chris are still very much part of this, they have just gone for a little while, I felt that I needed a change in the story, so this is it :)

I laughed pretty hard at the end of this. You can probably guess where. ;) That was a good one. xD

I stood so quick my head felt dizzy from the sudden change of motions.

*emotions, maybe?

I feel sorry for Jamiy. That baby tihng, I could see that coming! And by the way, never ever turn Nick into the new Chris. One, he's even older, and two, he'd probably have a heart attack lol.

Anyways, right onto the next part now. :)



Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
