But all this time, Zoey has remained loyal to her MC? Why, really? She thought the MC would move in with her in San Diego after she graduated high school. Lack of communication at the beginning of the interlude.
Honestly we don't know if Zoey stayed 'loyal' or if DPC simply omitted it, neither is it important imo.
IIRC the MC just said something like 'well there are colleges too'...a bit hard to belive she was convinced he will move there just because of that and she didn't bother talking with him about it afterwards either.
Emma's unfounded jealousy and the resulting Rooster Cluck. When Zoey reads this Rooster Cluck, she finds that her family, friends, and the MC can read it. In the subsequent decision of whether or not Zoey should take the phone away from Emma, Zoey tells Emma, and thus the damage is done. Now Zoey makes her biggest mistake. She doesn't call the MC right away to explain the Rooster Cluck.
Her biggest mistake was to follow Bret/Emma's example and decided to stop/or barely communicating with the MC, i think the reason was, so he would not remember her everyday and if there are more feelings he will talk to her...
By that time they didn't talk for weeks i doubt the MC had any hope for this 'relationship' left and why would he ?
Zoey just leaves, has a happy live at the beach and stops talking to him. I mean, what would anyone think at this point, if he would be in the MC's shoes ?
By the time Emma posted that cluck, i doubt it made much of a difference.
I think he summed his up as, she lives a happy live and got a boyfriend, but he didn't seemed to be especialy hurt by that, or accused her of cheating or anything.
And while it was a mistake she didn't call the MC right away, neither did she talk with him for the next 6 months, i think that was the time as the MC talk's with Bella about it and was before he got his new phone.
Their relationship breakup was caused by Emma because of jealousy.
I find it hard to even call it a relationship.
From the talk the MC has with Bella we know, even back as Zoey left he didn't really see her as his girlfriend.
A best friend, a fwb and yes he had feelings for her, but he also stated it wasn't love.
He managed to move on in his summer break and fall for Josy, so probably not the big love of his live if he already moved on.
Who is the wolf? His answer was just one word. So this "wolf" was already mad and angry when the rooster crowed.
Yeah well, so Wolf just said ''slut'', every other comment there was also insults, despite it doesn't have anything to do with them.
What if Emma has a relationship with someone close to the MC? It does not matter if it is kinship or friendship. What if that person is an LI? Will the MC overreact again or lock herself in a bathroom?
Why would that matter ? This whole thing happened before the MC is at B&R, before he meets any of the LI's and the MC doesn't know Emma besides seeing her on a few pics with Zoey, so why should he care.
