    Misunderstood Part 20:

    It was a month after Joe's death and things were slowly getting back to normal, though normal was not what it was before his death.

    Bessie and Xander were spending a lot of time with Caroline and spent quite a bit of time at the Frio household. Buster was invited over most of the time too. Connor thought it was chaos and preferred to either have his nose in a book or to hide in his room writing stories on his computer.

    36823424335_729daa3491_b.jpg

    Jared was withdrawn and refused to talk to anyone except Connor and sometimes Paulo, he would occasionally mutter a "hi" to Xander when his family visited.

    He took great pride in the fish tank, as he and Joe had bought it together and picked out what fish would go into it, they both agreed goldfish were the most wonderful personable of fish. Their goldfish were all named and answered to their names when Jared or Joe talked to them.

    36823423825_b35cf0a5f0_b.jpg

    36823423085_1b7f305b8f_b.jpg

    He was feeding them and noticed Eliza floating on the top, this brought Joe's death flooding back to the forefront of his mind...he scooped her out...

    36823422275_3981e6be14_b.jpg

    and started crying then and there, he didn't care who saw him, he missed his father so much... :'(

    36426871680_fe60da3dcf_b.jpg

    36426870470_3c452da628_b.jpg

    Jared had to get out of the house, he ran and ran way up to the fishing spot he and Paulo discovered one day, it was nice and private.

    36426868970_25736fde49_b.jpg

    He built a fire in the fire pit and sat there and thought about his father, he regretted terribly not being a better son. He and Joe fought all the time, as Jared had a horrible temper....his father did too. He was still very mad about Jamie, how could his father cheat on his mother with Jamie's mom, it killed him that Jamie was his half sister, he really liked her....more than he should like his half sister.

    36426864000_d84c8616e4_b.jpg

    All these thoughts buzzed through Jared's head, he couldn't deal with is all anymore and just wanted to sleep, he felt so tired...

    36823410455_491f64532a_b.jpg

    A week later it was Xander's Birthday and everyone came out to celebrate, Jared was not in the mood to celebrate, he just wanted to be left alone.

    36823407775_d5d6b4b1ae_b.jpg

    Bessie looks shocked that her boy is now officially a YA! (YA to me starts at age 19)

    36823403145_f75dd64879_b.jpg

    First order of business, get a drink! Not quite legal but no one cared.

    36823402075_b7fa8c3c70_b.jpg

    Jared though that was a great idea and decided to try one too...

    36823401175_cf052cfb23_b.jpg

    Xander egged Jared on telling him to have another one, Jared obliged.

    36823399045_7809694944_b.jpg

    Xander and Paulo played foosball together.

    36823397865_92d15ae958_b.jpg

    Jared told his mom he wanted to go home, he was tired...he was actually feeling a bit dizzy and not quite himself from the drinks.

    36823395915_ef7ee614a2_b.jpg

    Caroline told him to take a taxi strait home and get some rest, they would be home later, she knew had snuck some drinks but decided a lecture about underage drinking was a talk for another time (like when Jared was sober!).

    36823393675_058c6835b4_b.jpg

    36823394785_936f1cb0aa_b.jpg

    Jared spotted the new family that had moved into the house across the street as the cab dropped him off, he decided to go make introductions, the drink was making him braver.

    36823388805_3cd2a3d800_b.jpg

    He got closer to the girl who seemed around his age who was playing with her kicky bag. He cleared his throat and waited for her to finish playing...

    36823387325_87831b2b39_b.jpg

    The girl looked up at Jared as she gripped his hand in introduction Jared felt his heart do a flop, the girl was beautiful....

    36014088343_ffda16e8e2_b.jpg

    He suddenly felt his face go red and his hands starting to sweat...he sputtered out "I'm Jared Frio...."

    36014089173_94ec8b14d4_b.jpg

    She seemed amused by Jared's tongue tied introduction...and replied "Hi Jared, I'm Pearl, Pearl Yang"

    They spent the next hour chatting about everything and nothing..

    36014087483_f35f6f840f_b.jpg

    The subject of Joe did come up as Pearl had read about the accident in the newspaper, but Jared looked so stressed when she started asking about his father she dropped the subject quickly.

    36014087033_062a078ae3_b.jpg

    Later that night Pearl looked out of her bedroom window and wondered what room was Jared's....

    36426835350_879706e5f8_b.jpg

    Jared was doing the same thing...

    36426835020_8a45532cf7_b.jpg

    :wink:

    This update killed me more so than the funeral, which was more annoying than emotional...trying to get everyone together and mourn all at once without changing into work clothes or bathing suits as the "graveyard" was really in the Alto's yard!

    The pictures of Jared crying by the fish tank literally had me bawling! That has only happened to me one other time, when I finally finished Entwined, I cried for about 15 minutes after I posted the ending.

    ******************************************
    ******************************************

    A few extras......

    The unicorn cloud!!! Saw it from Pearl's house.

    36014086603_a8685f104e_b.jpg

    Followed it, found Fiona...Gorgeous!!!!!!

    36014086223_df62e4241a_b.jpg

    36426835830_c7baac852a_b.jpg

    Ironcally she and two other wild horses where at the fishing spot Jared went to think....maybe a sign???

    36683624261_e6d4c7d06d_b.jpg

    I actually made Pearl a family (She is a real Sim from ST, but had no parents (oh, and she's a YA in ST).

    Meet Maryann and Justin Yang:

    36823389565_3ab8e6fa6b_b.jpg

    While taking pictures of them on their empty lot, while I decided on which house to put them in a car drove by in the background, I recognized it.......

    36823391335_936e27bdd7_b.jpg

    It was Joe!!! I refuse to delete him, so he disappears when he might be in a shot he shouldn't be in. ;) . I didn't realize it but he (his stunt double ;) ) was in Caroline's car when he had the accident....this is his real car.

    @Charlottesmom Awesome update! It is good to see the families still bonding, well, as best they can. That was heartbreaking with Jared and the fish tank. :( I want to just hug him! Pearl is a cutie teen!! That is a super surprise. :) The unicorn is gorgeous. Cheeky Joe driving around when he is supposed to be dead! :lol: You really are just a marshmallow even though you write sad stories. :) Oh...btw, Xander is very handsome as a YA. I want to see more of that! :love:

    @Charlottesmom Poor Jared :( Losing Eliza was also the loss of something he and Joe had shared :(
    The sleeping is probably a sign of depression :(
    Happy birthday Xander :)
    Drinking is not the answer!
    Pearl Yang! Good choice .... until you yank that rug from under Jared's feet as well!
    How sweet young love can be! Love the window shots :)
    Beautiful unicorn!
    Pearl's parents look great :)
    Joe! LMAO Thankfully no-one would know until you told them :p

    "...and things were slowly getting back to normal, though normal was not what it was before his death." <That's for sure. :(
    Ah...so now we see why Connor often has his nose in a book. ;)
    What happens in our childhood really defines us as a person.
    Aww, Jared and Joe bought a fish tank together. <3
    Awwwww :cry: (Jared crying) Goodness girl, I am about ready to cry myself! :(
    The two have tempers...Joe must be his dad then. ;) (Here I go trying to predict, sorry. )
    Yeah, unfortunate scenario with Jamie. :( Did all this drama cause Jamie to become such a tramp? ;)
    Xander strikes me as the type who WOULD go grab a drink first thing when aging up to YA. :lol:
    Jared's drinking!?!? Oh boy...this can't be good. :flushed:
    Oh good, Caroline told him to take a Taxi (and refrained from a lecture <3), that's good. *whew*
    Woah! I thought that girl was Claire for a second, but the hair wasn't right... (Are you going to explain how he ended up with Claire? :open_mouth: )
    Pearl Yang eh? I forgot about her.
    Aww, the two looking out their windows thinking of each other. <3

    {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} to you lady. It's ok to cry with your simmies. <3
    I've cried more than a couple of times writing Sam's story and I did writing my Holland Family story as well.

    Unicorn! <3<3<3
    Stunt Joe has one NICE car! :love:

    LOVED the update! Really! You write so well and you really know how to reach the hearts of the readers. <3 And also how to draw them in. Looking forward to the next one!

    :kissing_heart:

    @Charlottesmom , I just caught up on the last two updates. It was so heartwarming that Caroline visited Bessie and comforted her! I laughed when I saw the screenshot of Connor changing into his bathing costume during the funeral, but after reading your explanation it makes sense that he did that. :smiley: Teenage Pearl Yang is so adorable. I like the family you made for her too! Her and Jared's meeting was very sweet, but ... it can't end well, can it, if Jared has to end up mean-spirited and single? I have a feeling his troubles are not over!

    @PalmArrow ^^I think you might be right. :cry:

    I forgot Pearl isn't originally from SV. :p (C'mon emorrill you're supposed to be an expert on the Sims 3! :lol: )

    Posted these in the main thread but decided the need to be here too:

    Just messing with MOO with characters from my Jared's story:

    I am determined to one of these days produce results the same caliber as @Mikezumi , my inspiration...

    First up the main family in my story: The Frio family, Connor, Jared and Paulo are teens here, Caroline and Joe are Adults:

    About the best shot I got:

    Some others:

    36675417212_e0f6ed6a00_b.jpg

    Sims being Sims..Connor cracks me up!

    36675414882_112e4f42ee_b.jpg

    Bessie and Buster are both adults, Xander before I aged him up to YA:

    36449659700_9dd79ab093_b.jpg

    36449661290_f7a681431d_b.jpg

    Jenni Jolina and her daughter Jamie:

    36449646730_69005f5c99_b.jpg

    Jamie and her cat, forgot said cat's name...I believe it's Bella (no I didn't name her)

    36449647760_927e2a4983_b.jpg

    The Yang family: Justin, Maryann and their daughter Pearl:

    36449644180_65de5c9534_b.jpg

    Tons of Alto's!!

    Vita and Nick, YA version (Nick is stunning as a YA...well not in this picture but normally).

    36449654980_61e0ebbce7_b.jpg

    Older version:

    36449651390_960c686222_b.jpg

    Nick, Vita and Bert Alto, Nick's Older brother (I played him as the younger brother) from Hidden Springs.

    Sorry, Bert wouldn't wipe that sh*it eating grin off his face...I have an older version of Bert but he was camping out in the Library for now.

    36449648520_8178f4becf_b.jpg

    Vita flanked by older YA Nick and Adult Nick...

    36449650240_80109d5b90_b.jpg

    All the extras in that house!

    36449657130_c1dd9b491b_b.jpg

    And.......the newcomers to town....who haven't been introduced in my story yet (tomorrow's update):

    Thea, Edward and teen Thornton Wolff!! I've been waiting so long to throw them into town! <3

    36675419862_8d25de98a8_b.jpg

    The gorgeousness that is Thornton as a YA :heart: :

    36449693980_5b1ee50394_b.jpg

    and aged down to a cute teen, he does perpetually look annoyed though.

    36449689740_f836471451_b.jpg

    Edward, Thornton's father is the same one I used in my Kate story, he is a duplicate of Thornton aged up, not sure if I even had Thornton's mom in Kate but here she is, she is a gender switched Thornton, aged up to Adult...

    I wouldn't have believed it without the evidence, but YA Nick Alto with the mustache replaced by a slight beard does look very good!

    Misunderstood Part 21:

    Jared was quite smitten with Pearl his new across the street neighbor and decided he would like to get to know her better. A quick but nervous phone call to Pearl was soon met with smiles and excited chatting as Pearl was very glad to hear from Jared.

    36730517642_56876171e4_b.jpg

    36901112695_4058126a4f_b.jpg

    36730517402_e0865808cd_b.jpg

    It was decided that they would meet later on in the day at the Diner for dinner. Pearl was excited at the thought of her first semi date, she had gone out with boys before but it was mostly just making out in the woods, the only boy she really liked had rejected her months before. Jared was the first boy she was really interested in since him....he had effectively broken her heart, maybe Jared could heal it.

    On her way to meet Jared...

    36826171571_d1d4cb10df_b.jpg

    Pearl was very happy to see Jared...

    36826169611_ee99eb5e2f_b.jpg

    She threw herself into his arms..Jared had no problem with this display.

    36826167101_37666a5e96_b.jpg

    Dinner time..

    36569439930_0d20e51d79_b.jpg

    A full tummy and some stimulating conversation will put anyone in a good mood...

    36157208233_973b0bcfb9_b.jpg

    Jared loved that Pearl was so affectionate...it seemed he had been starving for affection ever since he discovered Jamie was off limits.

    36826161981_0503f40daf_b.jpg

    Some flowers for the lady...always a sweet romantic gesture..

    36569436900_3a4975be74_b.jpg

    He couldn't stop himself as he moved closer, pulled her close and gave her a lingering kiss..

    36157205393_7748d3b419_b.jpg

    Jared then before his brain could even register what he was saying blurted out the only three words that Pearl was not ready to hear again..."I love You"...

    "No!" she yelled...."No, you don't love me, we just met...how could you say that Jared, you're ruining everything!"

    36157204173_d0d268c3d2_b.jpg

    Jared didn't understand what was going on, he wanted to back petal and take back the obviously rage inducing words but there was no going back, it was out there. Jared decided to let Pearl leave before a huge fight broke out, she was on the verge of tears and her body language said he would get nowhere trying to apologize.

    36157203263_68667a3e70_b.jpg

    ************************************

    Meanwhile a mere 15 feet away a romance was being rekindled...

    36157197513_a5fe6dc06a_b.jpg

    Bert had been calling Caroline for about a week, he had wanted to get back in touch with her since the funeral but decided to give Caroline some time to grieve..Caroline finally agreed to meet him.

    36569415310_c968556528_b.jpg

    Bert and Vita were good friends, they met when Bert was in college and Vita was a teachers aide. Bert brought Vita home for Christmas one year and introduced Vita to Nick. In one of their marathon phone chats Vita had angrily informed Bert of Nick's affair with Caroline when she found out about it which was months after it happened, Bert was shocked and extremely mad but he realized he had messed up big time and really couldn't blame her..though he had no idea how Caroline had met Nick as he had never introduced the two and Nick had only heard of Caroline in the very rare phone calls to his brother and had never seen her, Vita had met her on two occasions, that is how she knew who she was when she saw another woman wrapped around her husband..

    Bert had hoped Caroline would be willing to give their relationship another try when they met up 15 years ago when they had their one night stand. Bert then found out Caroline was married and his hopes were shattered. The past didn't matter to Bert now, he was determined to get back together with Caroline, he had gotten his womanizing days out of his system and was ready to settle down, he had missed Caroline very much when she left him and decided it was time to grow up and try and win her back. Bert decided it was time to break off his friendship with Vita when Vita started referring to Caroline as "that little tramp."

    36157196383_8c555f7b8f_b.jpg

    The past seemed to vanish when Bert embraced her...it was the first time Caroline had felt really loved in years, Bert had always loved her but kept his feeling tightly in check as he knew love brought nothing but heartache....Bert suddenly realized he had heartache even though he never truly gave his heart to anyone. Now was the time to finally admit his love for someone, someone he had loved for years.

    36569420900_8d08a55034_b.jpg

    36569420340_6d820c6d4f_b.jpg

    He whispered "I love you Caroline, I always have I always will.." to her and her response was taken as a very good sign...

    @Charlottesmom LOL at Pearl making out in the woods! :p
    Awwww but she likes Jared :)
    Poor Jared, starved for affection :(
    Oh no! He moved too soon! Will you ever give Jared a break? ;)
    Bert and Caroline - how sweet! And Connor doing homework in the background!
    I hope Bert really has put his womanizing behind him! It's good that he is taking Caroline's side with Vita :)
    Great update :)

    I do feel bad about screwing up Jared's life so much but if he had a wonderful life full of flowers and bunnies he wouldn't be the mean spirited poo poo head he is at the beginning of SV saves. My goal is to end the story exactly as it would be on opening a brand new SV save. I predict only about 5 more updates, 6 tops as I'm not adding in a few things that are not really necessary. ;)

    @Charlottesmom Hmm...so Pearl has been on other dates before but they were just makeout sessions? :p I trust that her interest in Jared is genuine, based on what you wrote, but my goodness why do I get the feeling she is going to break the poor boy's heart? :cry: Just when he feels like he's found the right one?
    Anyway,

    :astonished:

    Oh boy....Jared's overwhelming feelings ruined it! Awww, poor kid! If only Pearl knew.... :(
    Ohhhh Bert wants to snag up Caroline again eh? ;)
    So...am I right to say that Bert and Vita had a thing going?? Or at least Vita had a crush on him?
    Connor in the background. :lol:
    Bert suddenly realized he had heartache even though he never truly gave his heart to anyone. Now was the time to finally admit his love for someone, someone he had loved for years.
    ^Awww, that was beautifully written! <3
    Hope Bert will make Caroline happy and be the one to heal her heart.
    Loved it! As usual, I look forward to more. :kissing_heart:

    Another great chapter! :) Though not so great for Jared. He must be really feeling like he is going to be alone forever now.
    Looking forward to eventually seeing his first meeting with Claire though!

    Misunderstood Part 22:

    A short one....Flashback to camp 4 months ago...

    Pearl was sent to camp by her parents, it was lame and she hated it so she snuck out and found a nice private bridge, it was pretty and she liked watching the water. A boy approached her, she knew this boy he was one of the most popular boys in school.

    "Hi Thornton" she said confidently..

    Thornton replied "Hey Pearl" back...Pearl was surprised he knew her name though she had been getting more popular last school year being on the cheerleading squad.

    36949162831_2cf1d24116_b.jpg

    They had a wonderful chat about school, friends, sports, and thoughts on being a senior in a few weeks.

    36949162051_3effd9f34b_b.jpg

    36949160391_1cf35fa40b_b.jpg

    All of a sudden Thornton lunged forward and kissed the daylights out of Pearl!

    36949159681_16c9d1af33_b.jpg

    Her mind was reeling...but she couldn't resist him, she had in truth had a crush on him for two years...

    36949159211_a4bf56a59b_b.jpg

    36949158361_32bb040113_b.jpg

    36949157651_1de7aeb7c1_b.jpg

    He leaned in and whispered "I've wanted to do that forever!"

    37090581575_9bc94a7fd8_b.jpg

    They spend the rest of the afternoon avoiding camp and talking, laughing and making out.

    They were inseparable for the remainder of the summer...their last day of summer they spend the night together at an out of the way fishing spot Thornton had found earlier.

    It was then that Thornton uttered those three words every wildly romantic teenage girl longs to hear "I love you" spilled from his lips...

    Pearl was overjoyed!

    They spend some time enjoying the fire..

    They decided to get back before curfew (for once)...

    They would be going home the next day...luckily they lived in the same town so they could see each other.

    Oh no! This will really break Jared's heart! :heartbreak:
    Mind you, Thornton and Pearl look absolutely adorable together ... but, hang on! ... this can't work either! Where does Morgana fit in all this?
    My head is spinning!

    Oh, and I forgot to say that Thornton is one of those teen boys that looks very mature not like some of my girly boy teens! <3

    @Mikezumi , I still have to fast forward about ten/twelve years or so to get to the start of SV, I fear my estimate of only 5 more updates may be impossible! Morgana will show up...
