Chapter 27: in which Peter and Nia are ABSENT

let's set the scene, shall we?

i grab my stuff, head our the front door, and clamber into the backseat of the car. my phone is still connected to the wifi.

miss author texts me:

so, i think, nice, i wanna know where they end up because that last ending was illEGAL.

i start reading it as we drive out of the neighborhood. mom asks me something. i don't remember what. we're at a stop light. i finish the chapter.

and you know--

SHE LIED. SHE TOLD ME TO TEXT HER AND SHE WANTED TO SEE MY PAIN. HOW DO I KNOW IF THEY'RE OKAY?? WHO'S GONNA TELL ME. NOT THE AUTHOR, CLEARLY.

-6.3/10

do i even review this chapter anymore smh

listen. did i love this chapter? yes. it was sweet. rotted my teeth, gave me a sugar rush, made me want to run through a field of flowers. was i fully concentrated? n o. because someone told me i'd find out about Peter and Nia and the entire time i kept expecting them to show up and could not take in anything and then i got to the bottom and there was nothing else and i literally did this 👁👄👁

this isn't even the worst thing. just wait.

Chapter 28: in which THE PICTURE DOES NOT MATCH THE CONTENT

we're parked in a plaza. miss author texts me this:

JUST

HEAR ME OUT

one time, on the walk home, my sister told me she could magically make her hand smell like strawberries, and so i fully believed her. i was old enough to know you can't magically make your hand smell that nice. BUT she said, "here, see if you can smell the strawberries," and held out her palm. i leaned in, opened my mouth to say there was nothing, and she smacked me in the face.

if you're wondering why that has any correlation with what i'm about to tell you, well...you'd think i would learn my lesson and not believe the author when she told me she felt bad about my trauma and wrote a reunion, but no.

a few moments before she sent the reunion text:

*start [lying]*

me: okay

me, a little while later, having finished 28:

I'm filing for mental abuse.
no one talk to me for the next week.

essentially, author told me her hand smelled like strawberries and hit me in the face instead. that is the connection. also that i'm evidently gullible.

AND CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER WAS THE GROUP BEING LIKE WE NEED TO FIND PETER AND NIA.

AND I WAS LIKE YEAH OKAY YES PLEASE LET'S GO CHOP CHOP

AND THEN THIS HAPPENS:

AND IT ENDS.

PLS. WHAT IS THIS.

bye.

maybe i'll review these chapters properly some other time. i can't add anything insightful rn. i no longer exist on this planet.
