Tea is No Substitute

Chiao's Notebook

Tea tastes so flat without you here to share it with me.

I resort to coffee to keep me from sleeping.

 

Each night, I dread slumber. Slumber is when you left. You fell asleep, never to return. If I dare nap, will the same thing happen to me? If I allow it, would it lead me back to you?

Scared, I don't attempt to find you.

What if I snoozed, disappeared, only to never locate you? I'd be alone like I am now. Drinking my coffee to stay awake because tea is weak, and no longer has character with you so far away.

Chapter 25: Tea is no Substitute makes me think. Was Chiao thinking of Hong Hua or of Carol when she wrote this one? Maybe the lines were even blurred? Both girls left Chiao. Though her girlfriend left in "slumber" by her own death, Carol left when Chiao was kind of sleeping-ish, right? Sniffle, can I hug Chiao now?

@therries thanks so much! welllll i dunno if you read rated fics but there IS a rated offshoot in the works. basically the so-called 'deleted scenes' that i decided to leave out to have the fic rating more nc17/pg than xxx :) so if that's something you might enjoy, stay tuned!! and chiao's notebook is ongoing, so you'll still be able to be in chiao's head for a while ;)

I just finished Nerds, Dorks and Jerks <3 I love that you continued on with this offshoot of Chiao's Notebook! It was nice to see her perspective and emotions during certain events in the main story. I wish it didn't end though!!! lol I would have happily just kept reading chapter after chapter X3
