Love Jen's inner monologue, and I laughed my ass off at the banter between Leroy and Jen over where to dine. Really liking this, girly.

Author's Response:

Hi My Dear! *waving madly!*

MWAH!

Ugh, heartwrenching, Steph!

I'm guessing it was either Stepanie Ritz or Lizzie showing up at the end. I have faith in Rob, though. I think it's the evil Nick behind all this pain!

Author's Response:

Thanks my dear! yes the angst is intense... the answers are coming i swear!

ooh evil Nick! i love that you guys hate him so! heehee!

xoxo

OK...I was so ready to ream you out, but if you update soon all will be forgiven. I think Nick stole Rob's phone and he made up something to Rob about Jennifewr not wanting to talk to him anymore.l That is why he looks like crap. He is as depressed as she is over this. I think the woman could be multiple people. Jennifer's mom, his mom, his sister, Mrs. Johnson???? Any of those work???? Great one and I so cannot wait for the next chapter to be posted!  HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO:)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the review and rating!

yes, the next chapter has been submitted, hopefully it will post soon (the site has been total fail this morning for me- please no! no server issues right now!)

I like that you saw his crappy appearance in what she saw of him in the paps pics...oh you are very perceptive...*nodding in approval*

I like all of your choices in the women... even Mrs. J! that gave me a giggle... funny... no one has mentioned theatregirl? hmmmm....

hope to see the next chapter up soon! thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Okay woman!  Take a bow!  Seriously, that was excellent.  I really thought she was going to go stir-crazy.  

Rob's text hurt me.  It really hurt me.  I felt it in my heart.  Goodness, me.  The gasp came out of my mouth when I read it.

Oh, dearheart... I wanted to squeal when I read that part.  Eeeeeeeeee!  (Squealing now!)

That was fabulous.  You did an excellent job and you certainly made me cry... again... and again... and again.

Thanks for telling me not to read it at work.  I would have been a real mess and would not have been able to function after.

Bravo!

 

Author's Response:

Aww! thanks so much my dear! seriously this was the hardest thing i have ever had to write... and to have such a reaction from so many... it makes my heart soar.. and break...

yea on the squeal! and the dearheart.... sigh... a little glimmer of hope perhaps?

i am so glad you didn't read at work.. so glad you im'd me.. i would have felt horrible.. 

thanks you my dear for all your support! it means so much!

xoxo

Steph, Steph, Steph...

That chapter should've come with a warning that tequila would be needed to get through to the end! I felt every horrible emotion Jen was feeling - I could empathize with her so much. You really got into her head and it was so easy to feel her frustration and hurt and anger. I thought it was AMAZING! I am usually a fan of angst in stories, but angst with Rob - that's torture, girl. I mean, really, that chapter was exquisitly painful. I LOVED IT!

I'm really hoping that was Claire coming into the shop, or maybe Lizzie, since she seems to be so close to her brother. Somebody needs to go slap some sense into that boy, and Mama is always good for a job like that!

BTW - thanks for not destroying the Stoli - you know how I love it!

Author's Response:

The Stoli is a religious artifact... to be cherished and worshipped upon ...ammmmeeeennnnn...

hahahhaa!

sorry there was no warning label... i was however ducking for my desk before the chapter notes were even finished...

I love that you felt all of jen's emotions... i heart jen so much...poor girl...

and Rob angst... simply heart rending... yes...

yes.. there needs to be some slapping around...we'll see who mystery lady is...chuckle giggle... I love all your theories!

love ya tracy!

thanks for reading and reviewing! and for not hating me!

Ok, I get that there has to be struggles, etc in a story. There has to be conflict.  BUT what the f _ _ k?  I am heartbroken here!  Tears are streaming down my face.  You are killing me.  How in the heck am I supposed to sleep tonight?  I'm so sad. 

I'm trusting you here.  You're gonna fix this right?  Personally I think Nick is behind this somehow.  He has to be.  Surely Rob isn't that big of a prick.  Fix this!  Please!!!!

Author's Response:

Oh my dear!

I know! this is bad! i know! 

but yes! there is hope and i will fix it! even if Jen has to go down there and be cave girl and grab that boy by the hair and bring him back to washington! 

I'll make it right. i promise!

update is coming soon!

thanks for the review and rating!

steph

Wow .....  that was fabulous....

Author's Response:

wow... fabulous! you like the angst eH? 

thanks so much! this chapter is truly overwhelming me today! 

you guys are awesome!

thanks for reading and reviewing my dear!

xoxo steph

I have read this chapter for a second and even a third time tonight (first time was at work) and I'm still mad. Maybe even more mad!

I just can't understand why he would do this, unless he was acting (read: lying) all along. However I think the text is not from Rob himself, but rather from Nick who has somehow gotten hold of Rob's phone. Still there is no excuse for him not contacting her personally unless he's dead or dying. Which he isn't, we already know. Yes there may have been some sort of emergency or interference from Nick, but he could/should have found the time and the way to make a 2 minute phonecall. The only thing I can think of is that Nick somehow managed, maybe with a bogus text, to make Rob believe that Jen wasn't interested anymore and he was crushed. But he still should have checked personally if the info was correct, because they spoke so many times of their love and feelings for eachother he should be more secure in her love.

As for the mystery woman, it has to be Rob's mom. She called Jen dearheart when they spoke on the phone earlier. It must be coming closer to Christmas and Clare inquired with Rob about Jen's arrival. To which he told her what happened and she's taken it upon herself to seek Jen out to console, explain or reunite? I don't know. Or maybe Clare or Rob read Jen's last blog post and felt compelled to reach out to her.

I'll stop reviewing this chapter now, cause I'm going crazy trying to figure it out and I'm sure the next one will bring more clarity. Please tell me you'll write (part of) this chapter in RPOV too, cause I really want to know what's going on in his head, why he did what he did or rather didn't.

Author's Response:

oh my dear.

to have read it 2-3 times. i bow down to you for putting yourself thru that. It was hard for me to do- and i wrote the damn thing!

you awe me with your feeling about Rob and why he hasn't made contact. You are right. He should investigate- he should call- he shouldn't believe anyone but Jen... that beig said... the answer is inthe next chapter... I won't drag this agony thru several chapters... I can't be that cruel.

mystery woman- god i love your thinking... and how you are putting so much into it... I won't tell you whether you are onthe right track or not (im mean i know) but i heart you for these thoughts.

I am DEFINITELY writing an RPOV on this... although i won't publish it until do the outtakes story... but i do want to do it. I so love getting in robs head!

 

love you girl. review all u want i love every word!

steph

LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!   Do you realize how hard it is to keep my laughter contained while still being in an office.   Well let me tell you IT IS EXTREMLEY HARD TO DO!!!!!!!!   I know that this was a filler, but I loved it anyway.  When he shaved I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  ME LIKEY BEARD!!!!!!  Oh well I love him either way, still Rob.  *hint hint* love the beard.  Anyway when he went down stairs to find her and what he saw, I about died.  I'm sure he did too.  I can't imagine how hard it was for him to keep it together.  I would be like Jen completley mortified, embarassed whatever you want to say.  Steph, I loved this chapter and you are going to have to wait for more when I get home because you warned that it was a longggggggggggggg chapter and I want to be home and uninterruppted when I read it.   Again I loved it.  I know your lurking, *peeking around corner*  I see you there waiting!!!!!!   Bwhahahahahaha

Okay yes this chapter was so worth the wait.  What was that like 10 minutes Bwahahahaha!!!!!   It was about fucking time she got her ass back in that house.  And Rob waiting for her at the door.  awwww.   I about died when she said that was Elvis' guitar.  That would make me stop in my tracks too.  Anyway what a way to say that he loved her!!!!!! *THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD*    Damn I'm in aww here.  Thank you.  And them making love to each other fucking hell that was so sensual and hott!!!!  Only a hour and half and I can go home.  I'm going to try and read another chapter since the boss is FINALLY gone.  Great work.
