I know. Y'all just wanted to see some cute MarNel stuff, and instead we get this (I swear, I never get the cute pages on my birthday). But you can't just disappear from your partner's life without a word for months and expect everything to go right back to the way it was without some kind of discussion. Especially when you're a teenager, a couple months can feel like an extra long time.
Does this mean they'll break up? Not necessarily. This is a bump in the road for them, but talking about things, I think, is important. It's better than letting it linger and stew. And this has already had months to do just that. It's not the fun, cute page we all wanted, but it might even be for the better in the long run.

I just wanted to shout out a general thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday. I had a very simple, very quiet day, and that's just the way I like it. (And no worries to anyone else who might have forgotten, not known, or missed it. It's totally okay.) ^_^
User comments:
"Sorry I'm so bad at staying in touch but I forgot to stay in touch and then I remembered to stay in touch and it had been so long since I'd been in touch that getting in touch would just highlight how long I'd been out of touch and now it's been seven years lol oops hi"
Happy birthday Jocelyn! I'm glad you are out there!!!
I think marnel will get through this bump in the road of there relationship
No. I don't think Maria has learned yet.
Besides, a relationship is a two way street, Chanelle is just as responsible for it as Maria. Chanelle could have texted Maria herself instead of stewing, she could have gotten Blair's number from Emily if she didn't have one for Maria. Chanelle and Maria are equally responsible for communicating in their relationship.
Dude, leave it alone.
If you had a clue, you'd see this is just an excuse for Chanel to have fun giving Maria a spanking. ;)
Either you're joking or you're confused, Chanelle is not even comfortable letting Maria measure her for a dress, so spanking Maria is not going to happen, besides this is slice of life, not porn, relationships don't work that way.
But you're right about it being a two way street. Sometimes it's even a boulevard. After the first 20 times Chanel texted Maria and got nothing back, she should have persisted and tried 50 more times.
Readers may, of course, decide whether her apology is enough or not for themselves, but as the author, I can confirm Maria is very much being genuine here.
It’s my birthday on Friday 31st, and here’s hoping for a lighter page :-)
but it’s actually super validating to see maria explain it—like, it feels impossible to explain because it’s so irrational
Maria : I know. And I agree. I'm sorry.
She just admitted to being at fault and not Chanel. She wouldn't say that unless it was so.
Sometimes it gets hard to reach out to people, and the fact that you haven't makes THAT hard, and that can compile with itself and create this huge THING. You have to work past this, the people that are important to you have to know that you're there, you can't just rely on inertia to keep a relationship going. But, it's not always EASY to reach out.
At the same time, there's nothing worse than having no idea what is happening and being utterly cast adrift without direction. Not knowing where things stand, if something has changed, beating yourself up while simultaneously getting upset but not sure if you SHOULD be upset or if maybe something is the matter.
So, yeah.
I've been on both sides of this.
