Ouxh! That is my first heartfelt response.

In a way I am kinda glad you went through it all quickly. Not sure I could have been able to survive a detailed telling of the gang-rape.

Are you going to have the twins publicly talk about the ordeal at some point? Their well known status gives a great springboard to help others who have experienced something similar.

Anxiously waiting to see how you deal with the girls self-defense classes and flashbacks of the actual rape.

Keep writing!!!

You may want to talk to some survivors of rape to get some feedback on the after experience and coping.

It really was a nice twist as things were going too smoothly for the twins but again ... Ouxh! {Remind me never to get you angry :) .}

Great job!

Glad you enjoy the story. To give you alittle insight into this, The reason I put this part in was, because i wanted to start to show just how strong both girls were, and since they are strong I needed domething like this to shake them up. As you know or would guess, nothing less than something of the magnitude of this would fase either girl. I don't really go into the help part of it right off as you will see. Yhey live with it for a few year, and this is where the the reason I put it in this category comes from. They do help others later but did it in a differen way.

They were pissed that Carter and Jerry were killed......wow....imagine that.

To me this part quite realistically traces the coping mechanisms of the girls and their family after this brutal attack. It also realistically delves into priority setting and determination to overcome and not let such a tragedy ruin their lives. The back-and-forth regarding whether or not the girls will have abortions just shows that these decisions are not easy to make and can be made only with all the information out on the table and with a good support network. Great stuff!! I especially liked the way all the characters pulled together and FELT THEIR FEELINGS and expressed them to one another.

Incredibly stupid? You take one line out of the whole chapter and call everything in the story stupid? Do you even have one iota of understanding of what the bigger picture is in this story? Sometimes when coping, especially after a brutal tragedy like this, even the most obvious stuff needs to be expressed. Also, this isn't group therapy or primal scream. The girls are just putting out on the table to their family and doctor what they feel. BTW, do you remember at all how the girls reacted to that nasty girl at the diving competition? They didn't just blow up at the girl; they translated their feelings into more determination to win.

At any rate, peace be with you.
