This is becoming more than a little arduous. We all have had difficult teen years...so what??
I am so confused. I understand the story line, but cannot figure out where you are going with this tale. I like the characters you have developed and the pain you have inserted into Ariel. Now she has fled her home and into a new life. How are you going to get her where we all want her to be?
Though this appears to be a thorough and clear-eyed look at early and first-time experiences, the phrase ‘onward, through the fog’ comes to mind. The fact that Ariel feels willing yet unsure of what exactly, is so apt.
I’m hooked, so get back to work.
I always hate the crossed wires in “boy gets girls, boy loses girl” story arcs. All the unhappiness to plow through, and I always hope for a happy ending.
