WOW! speechless! :O That went in a direction I never saw coming! Poor Stacy, Its like everything bad is happening all at once! hm… i wonder whats going to happen from here. SOo good! :)xxx

Its a great twist, but you shouldn’t have refered to his HIV as a “dark past”. HIV could be in Stacey’s future, so calling it a dark past doesn’t make sense. Really, you made Ethan an unfeeling jerk who didn’t look guilty for what he had done. Its not his character – all the sudden you made a sensitive guy who did sleep around into a complete ass. You need to stay true to your characters.

Well, Violet. I think I did stay true, seeing as Ethan felt bad about it. Him being a nice guy, he decided to tell her, just in case anything happened.

He isnt an ass because nobody is sure if anything happened yet. So, I feel like I did stay true. He felt guilty for doing that, thats why he told her. Its a whole motive can of thing.

hmm, well I didn’t think that ruined his character, it would’ve ruined his character if Stacey had to hear it from someone else that he gave a girl HIV.

Definitely didn’t see this twist coming tho lol. This has sort of a Lifetime movie feel, idk why but this part reminds me of the movie She’s Too Young. A good guilty pleasure that goes well with a pint of ice cream :)

This reminds me of a particular scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall—

You didn’t tell me you were going on tour…
Yes, well I didn’t tell you I’ve got genital herpes because it’s not inflamed at the moment.

But this is more drama and less humor.

Fair enough. I just thought he didn’t seem that guilty, at any point in the story up till now – like when he met her at school SHE was the only who was nervous, not him.

I’m sorry if I seemed hard on your story, congratulations on writing such a successful series.

No hard feelings Violet. And besides, he wasnt nervous because he didnt quite remember her. If you remember her face was really vauge.

Well, that was unexpected. Can’t tell if that’s a good or a bad thing right now, but it was certainly a twist… :\

HIV?!

uh, well, he’s more of a jerk now, who didn’t learn. maybe she’ll stop being a prostitute after this scare..

My guess: everyone is looking at them now. Ethan’s a jerk.
