day 19 - best breakup: tallie grey/wes chandar (wellies)

this choice was obvious for me. i can’t even begin to explain what the breakup of these two characters is like for me emotionally. i’ve been a diehard wellies fan for the longest time and it was so painful to see them break up, and i felt especially guilty because of it since my character was part of the plot that caused it to happen. the entire scene was one of the most emotional ones i’ve read in hf so far and i honestly teared up at it. there’s no way not to. i think the betrayal and cheating aspect was such an original idea and it only made this breakup that much harder to go through. i just want to applaud jenny and shar for the beautiful writing they did during this scene, which i’m sure was one of the toughest moments to scene, because the way they brought their characters and those emotions to life is honestly what makes this breakup so tragic. the connection to the characters and how much you know wes and tallie care about each other is just so plain to see in the scene and i still have trouble when bringing myself to re-read it. i just… i need to stop, because i know i could go on forever.
