    “You want to what?” Coach Slewman’s eye narrowed at the question. “I wanted to know if there was any way I could have August 29th off from practice.” Jason repeated. This was going about as well as he expected. “Tellerman,” the way Coach said his name told Jason to stick a fork in his request. “You know the rules.” “Yes sir, I do. And I wouldn’t have asked if it wasn’t important.” “What is happening the 29th that you need off so bad?” His mood hadn’t softened. “Peter is co

    when you put it that way, it sounds so cheap and tawdry LOL - um well then again, maybe it is

    Thank you Nephy, I have to say posting this on GA has helped me develope as a writer - all the comments and discussions I have had with you and others really played a role in where the story has gone. When I start working on the next one [i have two I want to work on but i can't do multiple stories and stay married ] I hope to incorporate much of what I have learned into those.Thanks for you support and help, I really appreciate it.

    I almost think in dialogue that you'd be better served using contractions, like 'you've' as opposed to 'you have' and it's as opposed to 'it is'. Other than that, of course, I've no useful insights into this chapter. I love the name Jordan--it's really cute. As always, amazing writing. Yeah, Anyta has been working with me on this, you will likely see as chapter's progress I do more of the contractions in dialogue. Which is weird because I went back and tried to catch them in the pre-Antya hitting me over the head chapters - guess I missed those [sorry Antya ]

    Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. Not sure I'm a good writer by any means, but I am trying to get better. But I do really appreciate the compliment. And the reason they didn't get together was Bryan is straight so that would be weird that and jason isn't interested in him in that way.

    Thanks Anyta, funny things is you made the same comment about using Jason in this story - I almost changed it but then got lazy. I suppose I could just do a search and replace and edit this, but again I am lazy. As always you know I adore you and love your comments. Andy

    Chapter 9

    Andrew Q Gordon commented on Hawkeye's story chapter in Chapter 9

    So I read 1-9, and am really enjoying it. I have to say I am waiting to see how the Derek/Alex issue plays out. Alex telling Nate he broke up with is boyfriend of a month because it wasn't going to work now that Alex was leaving was a huge wake up call to Nate or at least that is how it came across I think. Sadly, I was sort of hoping in the back of my mind that Derek would sneak on board and go with them, but how realistic would that be? Derek and Nate are very good together, and Derek seems such a sweet guy - although I wouldn't say he was innocent, he definitely has a wild child streak. Anyway, thanks and looking forward to more.

    Oh the shit is gonna hit the fan in a few chapters, just wait, it's gonna happen. I'm not kidding. Thanks Frost, I appreciate all the help. As for D. Well yeah he is, but you might want to hurry, he might not be for long - not that I'm saying nothing - just saying

    The only problem with being Beta Reader is making sure not to slip up when writing a review - I am always worried I will say some thing in a review of this chapter that happens in a yet to be published chapter I read already

    Andrew Q Gordon posted new chapter in An Old Debt

    The satellite radio went blank again, claiming it was ‘acquiring signal.’ “Remind me to cancel this stupid service when I get back home.” He told himself as the music returned just in time for the guitar solo. Smacking the wheel of his Jeep in time with the beat, Jason continued to search for the break in the field that indicated his turn. This was taking longer than he remembered. If he didn’t reach the farm soon, he might have to pull over to put the top up to escape what promised to

    Thanks Frost, with the posting of the new chapter, I gave you your props as Editor. Thanks for the help and for pushing me to post. Andy

    Washed, dressed and a little nervous, Jason started the car, but not before giving Peter a wink. “Are you sure you’re okay with this, Jason? Definitely not the response he expected. “Stop already! Yeah sure. Do I look nervous?” He flashed Peter a big grin, hoping to show how relaxed he felt. “You looked pretty freaked out when I asked you. I just want to make sure you’re okay.” “Pete.” He put a hand on Peter’s leg. “I’m fine. It was just a bit of a surprise.” “No worse than your d

    After Peter got over his initial anger, he suggested Ethan and Anthony meet he and Jason somewhere before the end of the summer. They agreed Philadelphia had the most to offer, so Jason and Peter booked a hotel for a Saturday night and the three of them drove to east for the weekend. Everyone agreed the ‘road trip to Philly,’ as Ethan called it, was one of the best nights of the summer. Peter and Anthony got over any angst they had once they all met. Jason decided if he and Peter looked

    Pulling down with all his weight, Jason thought the thick metal pry bar might snap in two from the effort. The stump he was trying to dislodge? It sat there mocking him. Why were he and Dean trying to remove it anyway? This far back on the property it was not in the way. He had a terrible feeling this was busy work to justify he and Dean getting paid by his grandparents. “Stupid stump.” He tossed the bar aside as Dean laughed. Lifting up his shirt he wiped the sweat from his face

    Ten minutes early. Royce’s conditioning left Jason sitting around waiting for people too often for his liking. Peter said he would meet him after class, which meant two p.m. Finding an empty bench, Jason sat back, looking at the blue spring afternoon. Hopefully Peter wouldn’t mind if he went running later. “Looky here, Joe, if it isn’t Jason Tellerfag.” Jason didn’t need to look over to know it was Myers. “Wow, fat, slow, and stupid.” Jason stood up. If Myers wanted to fight, he

    How the fuck could he be so stupid? Jordan? He outed himself in front of fucking Jordan! Pushing himself as if racing everyone for a ball, he tried to outrun what happened. It made no sense; he couldn’t escape what he said. Right now his emotions controlled him and they told him to run. Down the path, the rapid slap of his shoes on concrete breaking an otherwise calm night. Somewhere up ahead the field house and soccer field marked the end of campus. Jordan was going to tell his mother; th

    Jason stopped by the Java Shack after dropping Peter off. Contrary to what he insinuated to his brother, all they did last night was hold each other. Correction, Peter held him. If Peter was disappointed by that, he never let on. Jason smiled when he thought how safe he felt in his arms; even going home didn’t bother him. They spent the night in his bed, in his apartment. That still shocked him. Hell, everything about being with Peter shocked him. The fact he had a boyfriend, that his brother

    Jason and Dean spent the afternoon roaming the nearby mall. For dinner they hit Outback Steakhouse so Dean could, ‘eat a cow.’ Watching Dean finish the biggest steak he’d ever seen made Jason slightly queasy. Or maybe it was the greasy Bloomin Onion they shared. Then again, maybe it his mother’s reaction caused it. Probably all three, he decided. Peter already gave him crap about eating that much grease, but as Jason explained, that was what he and Dean did when they went to Outback.

    “So, what’s so urgent you have me come in on a Sunday?” Coach Slewman smiled, taking the bite out of his comment. “I told you it could wait, sir.” Jason’s stomach clenched, he thought he would puke; a common feeling for him lately. “I know, but if it was important enough for you to email me on a Saturday, I figured I should deal with it ASAP.” He motioned for Jason to sit, as he eased himself into his chair. “So what’s the problem son? The season’s over, so I assume it has to do with

    Christmas Eve the whole Henry family was in attendance; his grandparents, aunt and uncle and their two families. His uncle’s daughters, Meredith and Michele, brought their boyfriends along; chumps as Dean called them. Aunt Karen had three children, none over 12. Her son, who was the oldest, tried to shadow him and Dean everywhere. Jason was better at tolerating Keith following them, having let Dean do it for years. When his dad mentioned Jason was named co-captain of his soccer team, his gran

    “What’s this?” Peter turned over the small box Jason gave him. “Today is Valentine’s Day.” Feeling incredibly pleased, Jason couldn’t stop smiling. “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Immediately Peter’s face took on the expression he always had when the subject of money came up. “Please,” Jason pressed on. “Don’t even pretend you didn’t get me anything. You buy me things for every occasion, real or imagined.” Peter laughed. “Mighty sure of yourself are you?” “Sure enough to know I didn’t do

    Jason woke up alone in Peter’s bed. The iPod clock he bought Peter said, ‘11:52.’ Peter’s absence surprised him. Normally Jason woke up when Peter got out of bed, but today he had no recollection of his boyfriend leaving. Listening for any sounds that would tell him where Peter was, he heard nothing. If he wanted to find Peter, he realized he would have to get out of bed. Late as it was, he was still tired. He and Peter were up late the night before having gone to Harrisburg for dinner and to

    Circling east around campus, Jason ran south, then north and finally west toward his goal; Peter’s apartment. Leaving before Darryl got back allowed him to visit Peter without raising suspicions; or at least that was his thinking. Tomorrow being Thanksgiving, he was going home for a few days. This was the last chance he would have to see Peter before he left. Beyond the few blocks of restaurants and other shops lay a stretch of road he rarely used before he met Peter. After just a few dat
