Title: Chapter 13: Rule #10: No More Games
I have GOT to say something else: As I read this chapter for the 3rd time (yes, you know me, the FANATIC), I realized something; I wonder how toxic this father has been for Adam. Maybe with the father's clearly racist views (his comment in the club) is something that has truly rubbed off on Adam - that would explain something. But that also got me wondering: if Adam HAD down that road before (earlier conflicts in racial related things). Here's why I'm thinking: a) because the comment from the father implied it being more than one instance..... - not just referring to Shaun (it seems....) and b) because there MUST be some earlier connection these two (Shaun and Adam) must have had... I mean, COULD he have known her at a younger age - is he the dead ringer of Shaun's childhood days....?????
Ohhhhhh I'm just grasping for a HEA (Happily Ever After) since it all looks entirely DISMAL right now... Seriously. And can Shaun learn to LOOK at her friggin friend Celia? And see what Celia is TRULY doing?? And Jackson for that matter? Since when is a tabloid/expose/tell-all/"how to _____" writer taken for a truly credible journalist? Which planet? Which country? Which century? Let's be real....
Now, what's up with Yoshi and Veronica hanging out or even TALKING?! I guess because Yoshi does have a BRAIN he was wondering about that note.... But, seriously... I kinda like Adam's group. They seem nice, even the crazy Noodle! But I hope nothing more sinister is going on? Or... Is Yoshi connected to Celia?! I know it's a far stretch but.... why is Celia on a vendetta to ruin Shaun or her happiness or Adam? Either she has something up with Adam herself or someone close to him.... And Yoshi has been a wild character... I just wonder..................
If Adam leaves her, I would NOT be surprised! I can't even begin to think what Shaun could possibly do to make it up to Adam. It's nice and all that she LOVES him (yes... it's got to be true by now), but people don't have such secrets and still get along well. It's going to be a tough blow to their trust factor.....
Where's Janelle when you need her? Janelle is a wonder-worker and could perhaps help salvage something here before it goes to print....?!
And I've got to tell you, Adam has EVERY friggin right to be DISGUSTED with his father and never forgive him!! What. In. The. World. Is. That?! Sleeping with your son's girlfriend?!?
The dad has got some serious demons and issues of his own to deal with - including a wife (or ex-wife) that fathered his 2 children (Adam and Katie) who is a drug addict. Maybe if he cleaned up his own life, the wife would come back to him and want to clean up hers... Just saying....
Karma is a b----!
And so is Celia (btw). I don't know if SHE deserves a happily ever after - since this game was started by Celia. And Shaun rightly or wrongly agreed to it and here is where it stands.... YIKES!!!
Man, oh man, oh man, oh man!
Update as soon as humanly possible. :D :D :D
