God, what a beautiful story, Luc. I was hooked from the first word and rivuted to every word after that. Just an excellent story. =)

I didn't feel all that sorry for Brice. After all, he's the one who told all those lies to Melissa about Bram. Did he really think they would never get back to Bram? Did he really think Melissa would never shout those very lies to him? I do feel badly b/c both Bram and Kenton used that derogatory language, which was totally uncalled for. Hey, I don't remember - do they know about Brice? I mean about him being gay, not about him liking the two of them. So now it's back to square one with Bram. I don't think Bram's gonna forgive Brice any time soon, either.

Hmm, KC, still picturing you dancing in a bar with your really, really tight skinny jeans doing you-know-what with your you-know-what. hehe Ok, seems that Michael's computer has the same porn STD that your computer had. Coincidental, I say not. lol J/K I think, although Michael may look at bit at other men, he is totally Ashersexual. I agree with everyone else; that last line was beautiful. Awesome chapter, KC!

I'm fascinated by Charlie. I think he was so brave getting up there in front of his peers and talking about himself. I am totally intrigued by him and can't wait to learn more!

What a FANTASTIC story, C James! I can't say enough great things about it. It was beautiful and well-written, as JoAnn said, and it kept me at the edge of my seat during the whole chapter. My nails are almost bitten off from that surfing scene. I could picture watching this as a movie. =) I never wanted this chapter to end. I want more! lol

Excellent story, wrath! So glad Justin was ok and Tyler was still by his side. =) I loved the last paragraph - so beautiful and profound.

There's another part? Thank God! Shit, I need a Xanax now... What a great story! Ok, I gotta look for the next part...

Terrific story, Bardeara. It was really beautiful. =)

Viv, I just found your stories a few months ago and I can't help devour each new one I come across. I love the way you write. In this particular story the sadness and grief of both Tracey and Casey (I just realized their names rhyme, lol.), and the anger both these boys feel fuel this chapter. Tracey was acting out, filled with pain and sadness over losing his mother. True, he shouldn't have done what he did, but he's facing up to his crimes and he's going to make amends. Casey is fighting his own demons since the death of his father. They are both struggling with trying to cope with how to handle their emotions, Casey, lashing out in anger, and Tracey, acting out of anger and sadness. These boys are so similar and I hope that Casey can calm down some b/c it's not good for him and he's just stressing his mother out more. I did want to point out one thing though. It was prevalent throughout this chapter, but not in any of your earlier work. There was an extra comma after every ending quotation marks, and there were also extra commas at the end of sentences instead of periods, or maybe after periods. There were even commas after question marks and exclamation points. For example: these sentences are just off the top of my head: "Tracey, you go and sit down at the table and start to eat,", Paulette said. "Why would he do that?", Casey asked. See what I mean about the extra comma. Those commas don't belong there. You never put commas after quotation marks anyway unless you are using the quotation marks around a title to something - book, movie, TV show, etc. Anyway, I'm going to start the next installment of this hella awesome story.

Oh so Dillon had already planned his seduction of Matt and he used Thomas and Randy to help him with it. Not good. I wonder if we'll hear from Dillon again. The Emily and Gina were very thoughtful to bring over the boys' homework. Odd that they didn't smell anything out of the ordinary in the house considering all the sex the boys were having. lol Hahahah

Fantastic story, shadowgod! I never wanted the chapter to end. I love you style of writing and the story was so well-written and descriptive. I found myself praying for the lost boy who had to sell himself for money and the kind young cop who saw Cody as more than just a "diseased" hooker. Terrific story. I wish there was a sequel. Just sayin'...

I loved your story, Altimexis. I think it's great that he (you) were brave enough to come out to your wife. And I think she's wonderful for staying with you and mostly supporting you with your decision. After all, she's taking the time to look up link online to send you! And you are one of the lucky ones b/c you DIDN'T want to end your marriage and your wife didn't leave you. =)

Great story, Leshwar! Boy that train station was a busy place! lol First I thought the story was about Ashley, but then you started talking about Jake, and then I thought with Aaron, it was Jake who bumped into him. lol

God, Nickolas, what an amazing story. You really know how to pull at those heartstrings. lol It was such a beautiful, well-written, and emotional story. I read a few of your past anthos and I really like the way you write. =)

Sorry, I meant your 2006 antho. lol

I loved these characters from your 2007 antho and I'm glad to see you continued with them. Even though I hated Mason for the first half of the first story, I really liked him in this "sequel" I'm glad Khay is giving him a second chance. =)

Ditto. I couldn't have put it any better than Jo Ann. It was a beautiful and well-written story. =)

That was actually really sad. I remember the other stories with Ryan, Jo, and Jake. And I remember the dream Ryan had in the last story when he was in New Hope and he had on the watch that he never wore.

Terrific story, Carl! I was at the edge of my seat when Mr. Tubbs was found dead on Jeremy's porch. I was wondering why his father didn't seem that upset that his son found a dead man's body on his porch! Then the officer came by and I was cracking up when he mentioned Mr. Tubbs, the CAT!!!! And Uncle Johnny, didn't know quite what to make of him. But Jason, he was like a breath of fresh air! I loved him from the start. I would have loved to keep reading, but alas, it's only allowed to be one page. =)

So, so sad. I'm a big fan of "Glee" and Cory was such a great talent. I was just shocked when I heard about it. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and Lea.

"Desert Droppings" was what brought me to GA. I've been addicted to his stories ever since. I'm another one who wishes he would write some more of his wonderful stories.

Finally! I was ready to smack X upside his stubborn, childish head! lol If Axel had not gone to his room, X would still be treating him like shit. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter. Just wish you'd update sooner than a week...

Terrific chapter, Lab! Things are finally starting to make sense for Hugh. And for Gary. And now will Hugh tell Gary about Jon? And will Hugh tell Jon about all he's learned? Ya gotta update more frequently, dude! I need to know what happens next!

I don't know what happened, but I totally missed this chapter. It was heartwrenching. Gary (of course he knew from personal experience), showed his son what he was doing wrong. Thank God that wouldn't be a repeat of what Hugh did to Jason. This chapter really had me choked up. Although I want to hate him for what he did to his best friend, Ever since, Hugh has lived with this guilt and the pain of what he did. He knows what he did was so wrong. Ok, I gotta get to the next chapter to hear Jason's story.

I think it could have been a lot more awkward, but it wasn't thanks to Mark. Just by him going up to Trey and kissing him good mornng eased the tension and awkwardness. Mark's lucky to have a sister like Jackie. I'm looking forward to her interrogation. lol
