The story of a lonesome ol'Jerome

Downstairs

*Harriet’s POV*

I can’t fucking sleep. Or, rather, I just don’t want to go to bed. I’ve had terrible insomnia lately. I know it’s getting late, it’s almost 6 am, and even though I have tomorrow off, a small part of me feels like I should try and adhere to some sort of schedule. But I was still all souped-up from seeing the Brides. They were peachy-keen!

I heard Vetgirl get home, she sounded upset, she was crying as she went up the stairs. I stood up, but then suppressed the urge to go check on her. She had always been friendly to me, but given me the ‘hands off’ vibe.

A few minutes later, I heard her smack her bathroom mirror, and my heart reached out to her. Goddammit! I wanted to go up there, say something, offer to be there for her, make sure she was ok. I realized I was chewing a little too hard on one of my lip rings. I know that some people are just loners and want space, but it’s so hard to hear her when she cries and do nothing…

I wonder what she’s like, what is bothering her? I know she’s a veterinarian, because she has bumper stickers from the vet school she went to on her car, and every now and then I see her with scrubs or a stethoscope on, if she wears them home from work. I know she has a lip ring that she wears outside of work, and smaller tunnels that she hides with work-appropriate earrings. I also know she likes some cool music, based on what I hear coming out of her car before she rolls the window up, when she’s parking.

My thoughts are interrupted by an angry yell from upstairs. I have to do something to let her know she’s not alone! I get the broom, and gently tap the ceiling. I hope she knows what I mean…

I decide I’d better get to bed. But one quick look at Tumblr first… I just love Ezra Miller, I can’t wait for Madame Bovary to come out, though it’s going to be over a year! How will I survive! And BVB’s new album is coming out in a few months! Man, I love leopard geckos! And… the fuck? Vetgirl is on my Tumblr… I investigate further.

A few minutes later, Vetgirl is Gwyn, and I have a slightly better idea why she is crying. But I don’t have her number, I don’t know her last name, I don’t know where she works. All I know is where she lives. But I have to do something. Andy is my hero. And not just mine. And my gut tells me that Vet-, I mean, Gwyn, maybe, she could be happier if she made a connection with someone. What the fuck should I do? What could I do?

Ok, cool. I don't mind plodding plots at all, but as a frustrated English teacher, I can totally understand the grammar and structure stuff.

oh, i'm not changing it significantly in that regard. i mean more a stylistic change to make it easier to read: breaking up paragraphs, improving grammar and tense consistency, stuff like that. i've become a much better writer and i want my stuff to reflect that. if you're nervous about the changed, you can check out the newest version on my wattpad account. my user name is anathemadvm, just plain anathema was taken. i'm still likely to further revise the very beginning a little, but nothing is plot related, i like the plot as much as i ever did. i just want it to be easier to read, that's all.

Actually, the beginning of LoJ fits the story perfectly, IMHO. You establish Gywn as a likeable, but clearly flawed character from the door. It's much different from most other fanfic, which want to get to the Bride(s) ASAP.

oh my goodness! i don't think even i have read it that many times, though i could be wrong! i've certainly only read it through once in one sitting! i promise that the edited version is higher quality, but i don't dare tinker with it here until i have the whole thing ready to go. right now i've edited through chapter 50, though i might need to ahve another look at the very beginning, because it's so plodding.
