My goodness, Sheila. Thank you for being so brave to share such a hurtful event in your life as a part of a fanfic.
I know from personal experience that writing about a true to life painful event can be very cathartic and very painful as one relives the emotions of that time. I don't think I could be as brave as you. Brava Sheila!
Yes, Paul was a jerk, but unfortunately there are a lot of jerks out there that think that way. Fortunately, there are a lot of Clark's out there too.
I am really looking forward to the rest of this story!
James, who hopes that you have well and truely gotten over the 'Paul' in your life!
