Wow, this was exactly how i felt minus the Baxter part, he rubbed me and Cove the wrong way ^_^' i'm 31 years old and I have never had anything like that in my life, such an intense experince, so many wondeful, caring cast of characters. I wanted parents like ma and mom. my real parents were the exact opposit as they did not care when me or my brothers got home or anything like that, we did not have rules or chores, looking back I really wanted that.
I liked Lee she reminded me of my relationship with a cousin but we had a falling out this year and we don't talk anymore, and i kinda miss her.
Cove, sweet sweet Cove, what i experinced with him romanticly, that is what i wanted in real life when I was in my teens, but I was a shy kid and a shy teen and i'm still a little shy. Back then it hold me back from alot of things, I had a small group of frinds quality over quantity right?. And they tried their best to get me out of my shy-ish shell, they really did but it did not help.
Anyway back on track, (SPOILER) when Cove came to "my" room at night after the orca event and showed the firefly, i could not contain myself (I would have done it the same way in real life) i flew right at him and kissed him.
At the restaurant when he told everyone that he was getting his own place and such it actually hurt my feelings and somehow i felt betraied, I'm used to being hurt by people in real life, but this was way different, like being hurt by my real life boyfriend. I began to tear up for real. When "i" ran to the car and cry my heart out i did so for real, after a text to Cove to come and talk, when he said that "i" could live with him i felt a warmth inside I have not felt in a long time. I was so happy i tried to "jump" him even though i kept sying it was moms car and he had hight issues, that made me giggle.
And I also realised a thing about myself while playing this wonderful game, when Cove told "me" that he had trouble getting words out but not in his head becuase of the what-ifs and all that, at that moment it just clicked in my head and i knew that is how i am when i'm talking to my boyfriend.
Sry but I just nedded to share my wonderful experince with you all who are reading this, i finished this today and I have cried the most of the day bacuse of all the feelings i have never been used to, when my boyfriend came home he asked if something was wrong and I just shook my head and cried. I am a very emotional guy and a hopeless romantic, so he knows that I am prone to tears so he just kissed my cheek and hugged me.
Anyways with all that said. I cant wait to see where my adventure with Cove (and the others of course but mostly Cove) leads in step 4
