For someone who hates writing sports you do a bang-up job. I found this game to be very exciting. I'm also glad they won. As far as Jim - what an idiot! Not only did he sound stupid, but he sounded angry. But now that I think more about it, why did Jameson sounds so defensive? Why did HE sound angry? You would think he wouldn't care what people thought. Not b/c he's a cheerleader, but maybe b/c of his brother. As always, great chapter, Sasha!

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y S L Y T H E R I N !!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!

Oh man, that was scary at the end! Thank God James will be fine. I totally agree w/Tony; love is always worth it, but I don't know if I could be serious with a cop. Way too scary. I bet Marcus is so jealous of Tony b/c of his parents. I loved the way he said "Mom and I will start supper..." or something like that, but he called Tony's mom 'mom'. I thought that was great. It's amazing he and his brothers are so warm and loving; his mother's such a bitch it's great her bitchiness didn't rub off on the boys. Oh, almost halfway down the page it's written: "She was a witch with a capital B." I think you meant 'bitch'. lol The way I see it - she is a witchy bitch, or a bitchy witch. Whichever...she's an ass.

Marcus' mom is quite the bitch indeed. lol Wow. It's amazing that all the sons are so nice and sweet. They certainly didn't take after her - the ice queen. lol

Jeez, I can't believe I have missed three chapters! Thank God Tony reacted so quickly to Marcus' dad's stroke. I'm glad he's going to be ok. It's sad that it takes something that could have been fatal, to make a person realize their thinking had been wrong and that they had wronged people they loved. I'm glad Marcus' dad apologized to him and Tony for his past behavior. Ok, on to the next chapter!

I was reading your response to Gene's review and I don't think Cj is going to go anywhere quietly. lol He's probably planning a sneak attack as we speak. I totally enjoyed Corey's talk with his father. Lee surprised me. He really does love his son. Who woulda thunk? Certainly not I, from the way he's acted in the past. I'm glad they had that talk. Now Corey understands a bit more about his father and he realizes his father is afraid for him b/c of the stupid townspeople. I would be just like Cora, crying over the fact that my kid gave up his puppy to this little boy. It was a beautiful thing Corey did, making that little boy and his mom so happy. I'm really curious why Corey's father had to step outside to talk to Clinton's father. Great chapter, Krista!

Carrie! I wanna hear the story about the Redi-Whip too!!!! lol Jeez, I would NOT want to ever get on Corbin's bad side. He is pretty scary there with all those threats/promises. lol His weekend with Mike was great. It went far better than he had hoped it would. Slowly but surely Mike is coming out of his shell and doing more and more things that Corbs ever expected him to do. Don't know if I like the no condoms thing though. Hopefully that will never come back to bite them in the ass. Pardon the pun. But then Corbin goes and uses Mike yet again to hurt Pete. I think this back and forth with them is pretty catty. Enough is enough - you are two "adults" according to the law, so start acting like them. No more petty text pictures (which I am 100% sure were fake on Pete's end), no more calling/using the vmee to get back at Pete, just grow up. But then again, what fun is that? lol As for what Amanda said about Pete losing the one person on campus he thought was his friend - come on. Do you mean to tell me that he's been at OD for how many weeks/months now and he hasn't made any other friends? Really? That seems hard to believe. I wish Pete would just be honest with Corbin and tell him exactly why he's so hot and cold. Plus, I'm dying to know!!! This was another great chapter, Jon! But as for the two-week break - totally unacceptable!!!! lol J/K but you know I look forward to this story every week!!! I'm gonna go nuts having to wait two weeks!

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y S T E L L A R!!!

Hope you had a great birthday, WL!! I didn't see this thread yesterday; I wrote right on your profile page.

I think the jury is going to find Dillon guilty. Whatever big house he goes to, I hope he gets help. They have therapists in jail, right? lol Matt does not know how lucky he is to have such wonderful parents. In fact, they should be cloned. I can't wait for the next chapter, Elias!!!!

Adam finally admitted he's in love with Mikeal!!!!! And thank God for Adam - he is certainly being a great rock for his b/f. You know, I didn't think that maybe his folks kept his adoption from him b/c of his biological parents. I would think that they did b/c they were too young. Maybe the father ran off when he found out his g/f (if they were in fact b/f-g/f), was pregnant. Who knows? I do agree with his mom though about telling him before college. That would definitely be bad timing. Adam's suggestion ws much better; tell him a year earlier or in the summer before school started. That would have been a much better choice. This was another excellent chapter, Cassie!

I can't believe it's been almost a year now. I feel like I know Billy too just from all your letters. This was such a moving letter (not that any of the other weren't; they were all so emotional), saying goodbye so you can move on. I hope the letters you wrote helped you ease the pain at least a little bit. He was so, so young. I hope your message at the bottom can help someone. There is always hope; nothing is hopeless. Take care, Jeremy.

Wonderful ending, KC!!! Absolutely LOVED the story, KC!!! I think what Asher, Michael, & their friends are doing teaching the kids about the local sea life & carrying on what Allison wanted to do is just wonderful. I think she would be so pleased her brother is doing this I can't wait for your next story, KC! Good luck on your test.

Sui, Sui, Sui!!!! I can't believe I missed this chapter when you posted it! I'm on pins and needles here - what's going to happen to Toshi? Jason? Will Baron and his partner get there in time? Omg, what a cliffie!!!!!

Hmmm, who's Liam and is he going to throw a wrench into Emmett and Jayden's mating? I do like Mother H, even if she seems a bit wacky! lol I'm looking foward to when E&J finally "meet" as mates. Great chapter, Shadow!

That was such a beautiful song, Andy. Did you make that up? I feel for Josh, he knows that no one will sing that song to him again b/c he's fourteen now. How sad. Sometimes tradition is really stupid. I do like how Josh and Max's friendship is developing. I just hope Josh doesn't get a lot of flak from it from his folks. Even though Josh sort of put them in their place in the last chapter, I wouldn't want him being reprimanded b/c of this. Great chapter, Andy! And again, congrats on your promotion! It was well deserved!

CONGRATULATIONS ANDY!!!!

I don't know where I've been hiding, but obviously it's been somewhere b/c I missed this hella awesome chapter!!!! And what a chapter it was! Thank God A&M are back together!! Yay for Steph Allen for telling them every last dime that Allen owned!! And yay for civil lawsuits while the creep is already in the big house becoming Big Momma's Bitch. On to the epilogue (oh no!!!! Not the end, KC!!! )

This game is going to be exciting. I hope Luke makes Erie and his family proud! Phew to the boys' clean bills of health!!! Everything else is cake. Great chapter, Sasha!

Jeez, where have I been that I didn't read this chapter? I could certainly feel Erin and Luke's apprehension at getting tested. It must be scary as hell. I was going to bring up that the doctor sounded like Dr. House (especially with the cane! ), and then I read the response to your latest review when you mentioned the show and Hugh Laurie. I think he's great too. But I could totally see House examining them and making those crude comments. lol Great chapter, Sasha! On to chapter eighteen.

I'm glad Andy went to talk to Gina. Good for him! It's good she agreed to meet Matt on Monday under the tree. I'm just anxious to find out when the jury will be through deliberating.

I cannot wait to hear what the jury is going to say. I can't believe Dillon just perjured himself (is that even a word? I think it is...). I really liked the banter between Andy and Thomas. Poor Andy - he's just looking for someone to love him. He's only fifteen; he has his whole life ahead of him. What's the rush? lol Ok, on to chapter fifteen.

Omg, how did I miss this chapter?? So much going on! So glad Kieran's going to be ok. I swear, I saw red when that asshole nurse was spewing her hate! They had such a great opportunity for a lawsuit, but at least the nurse was fired. What an ass. Even though I hated Jason for the way he acted towards his brothers b/c of his father, I'm glad he's now feeling badly for that. I hope they can put the past behind them and make up. Just as long as Jason has no more communication with their father. Unless of course it's to find out where he is so they can take him down, of course. lol I'm looking forward to the next chapter, as always, Tony.

Heya Jon!! What a terrific chapter! I totally agree with Louis and Timothy; if it were me, and some guy was trying his damnest to take our 'friendship' to the next level, and he confessed how he feels about me, and then to turn around when I didn't go for the bait, and boff the vemee (well, I guess in my case it would be a vemette, ), I'd be devastated too. I'd want revenge. I could never do what Pete did; that was really cruel, but he only did it b/c he was hurting so much. He wanted to get back at Corbin the only way he knew how that would crush the other boy. Corbin doesn't really think that Pete's gonna bang Dakota, does he? Pete just sent that text out of spite. Even if he used Dakota that way, I know Dakota has enough self-esteem and self-respect, and smarts to know that he would only be using her. She wouldn't go for that. Yes, a fake "kiss" picture, ok, but not full-on sex. And again, in this chapter you are totally swaying me towards Cadet Mike. He said such beautiful things to Corbin. Unfortunately, it's the vemee I see being the most hurt in all of this. Corbin just used him when Pete turned his back on him after the kiss. Mike knew he was second choice and he still wants Corbin. Now, on to the Chu debacle. lol Boy, our boy Corbs really knows how to manipulate people to get his way, doesn't he? Threats, unleashing Chu's skeletons from her high school days (I definitely wanted to read about those!!!!), they are all below-the-belt ways to get what he wants. lol Good for Corbs! Too bad the dean is still pissed with him. And last but certainly not least: Corbin is SO, SO, SO lucky he has such a great group of friends!!!!! What a terrific support group! Everyone should be as lucky as he is in the friend department! Wonderful chapter, Jon! Can't wait for the next one!!!

Sasha, I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this story!!! I read it on my phone whenever I had the chance; that's why it took me so long to finish it! And why I didn't r&r after each chapter. Sorry. I just loved the way D&D, especially the way Artsy D, tried to avoid and hate D the Jock and D the Jock was totally crushing on Artsy D but no one knew it. I would also love to read more about these boys. Terrific story, Sasha!!
