Jay’s Comments (group member since Feb 16, 2014)

Jay’s comments from the Jaybirds MoreMunity group.

Official Combative Discussion Thread.
Wednesday - Chapter 11-15
Chapter 11:
- Madison allows herself to be vulnerable with Ky and breaks down in front of him about feeling off.
- We learn Madison is on medication.
- Ky gives Madison a rainbow rose .
Seeing Madison being vulnerable, does it allow you to connect with her more?
Chapter 12:
- Madison and Ky go to the Dollar Store and she opens up more regarding her desire for love.
- Madison and Ky hook up, but no sex, Madison wants to wait.
Why do you think Madison’s time is ticking away?
Chapter 13:
- Madison and Ky are getting closer and having sleepovers, still no sex.
- Jackson is getting desperate and pushing Ky to be bolder in getting information.
- Nate catches Ky touching his phone and hits him.
What are your thoughts on Nate right now?
Chapter 14:
- Ky surprises Madison with “mail."
- Madison takes care of Ky’s injuries.
- Flashback to Steve's death.
Steve was obviously damaged, but seeing how he cared for Ky, in the only way he knew how, does it make you want to find the guys responsible even more?
Chapter 15:
- Madison feels insecure about Ky’s feelings for her.
- Ky is hurt during training and is out of commission so Jackson comes over to his apartment.
- Ky opens up more about his past, but Madison refuses to tell him anything about herself.
Do you think Jackson is just being overprotective or do you doubt Madison’s motives, too?

OFFICIAL COMBATIVE GROUP READ THREAD.
Tuesday
Chapter 6 - 10.

Chapter 6:
- Ky and Madison go out on a date, it’s Madison’s first date ever.
- She is unsure of what to do, obviously very inexperienced.
Why do you think Madison has never dated?

Chapter 7:
- Madison gets drunk and hits on Ky, he turns her down because she is drunk.
Madison is such a contradiction, drinks whiskey like a pro, but unsure during dates. Why do you think that is?

Chapter 8:
- Ky begins training, Madison is ignoring him now after being shut down.
Do you think Madison had someone else in her apartment?

Chapter 9:
- Nate calls a meeting with Ky, he suspects that Ky is a cop. During the meeting, Nate gets to Ky and Ky shows him his fear.
- Ky takes Madison to flower shop to order flowers to have delivered to his "mom."
This is the first time we learn Ky is sending his mom flowers. What do you think that says the kind of person he is?

Chapter 10:
- Madison calls Ky out and asks why he doesn’t hand deliver the flowers.
- Madison asks to meet Jackson.
- Nate sees Jackson, Madison and Ky at a bar. After Jackson leaves, he joins them and shows an interest in Madison.
Do you think Nate’s interest in Madison was just to rattle Ky?

Jackson is one of those characters who are really hard to write because he has so many walls.

COMBATIVE OFFICIAL GROUP READ THREAD.
MONDAY
Pro - Ch.5

Below are some notes and discussion topics, but please feel free to start your own in the comments, as well as post your highlights.

Prologue:
- Ky is interrogated about the attempted murder, and a deal is mentioned to avoid going to trial
What’s your first thoughts about Ky? Did you think he was good, bad, in the wrong place at the wrong time or just looking for a fight?

Chapter 1:
- We meet a young Jackson and Ky and begin to see their past and the bond they shared.
- Jackson tells Ky about the deal.
Knowing that Ky and Jackson know each other did you expect their bond?
Do you think Jackson is manipulating Ky to get his way by using Steve’s memory?

Chapter 2:
- Past shows Jackson’s family taking Ky in and standing up to his Dad for him.
- Ky goes to a fight and meets Nate and Tiny.
Seeing how Jackson and Ky’s relationship developed, do you now feel different about Ky helping him?
How did you feel seeing the first scene with Ky and Nate DeLuca?

Chapter 3:
- Nate questions Ky’s motives for wanting to fight.
- Ky and Madison meet for the first time.
What are your thoughts on Nate and Tiny?
This is our first time meeting Madison. Thoughts? Who do you think Sara is? Sister? friend? Mom? Lover?

Chapter 4:
- Ky attends his first mandatory anger management session, and we meet Doctor Cinnamon Aroma.
- Madison and Ky have an impromptu dinner together.
- Reflection shows Jeff dying and Ashlee cheating.
I loved writing Ky's therapy sessions, which, by the way, were a last minute add on. I loved her methods of getting him to talk. What do you think of them and how do you think this will play into the bigger picture?
Madison made me so suspicious, the texts, her nerves… do you think she is just a shy girl afraid of making the wrong move or more?
How do you think these past events changed Ky?

Chapter 5:
- Ky meets Nate again and tries to do some recon at the venue.
- Jackson checks in regarding the recon work Ky has done.
What is coming in the mail? What do you think Madison’s obsession with it is?
What are your thoughts on Nate?
Do you feel like Madison is different from other girls her age?
