I definitely felt Bay's panic and anxiety when he thought of Issac. When he finally saw him in the stands and his heart started pounding and his palms probably got all sweaty and he probably felt like he was going to throw up, yeah, I felt like I was there in his body. lol So Zu surprised me. Not in the yelling at Bay part b/c he hurt his best friend, but in the sort of caring way he asked Bay what Issac said. I can't imagine HIM helping Bay though. He's still an ass, IMO, so we'll see if he changes his tune. As always Sasha, looking forward to more.

I agree with Daithi; it seemed that Dillon's dad was trying to tell Andy something when he said Dillon has helped boys before. Yeah, but how has he helped them? lol That's the question. Oh, just thought of something else: when Dillon was giving Andy head, (in a previous chapter), didn't Andy think to himself that Dillon knew exactly what to do? Hmm, maybe he was practicing on other boys? I can see how Andy is so infatuated and driven by lust that he thinks he's in love with Dillon. I just hope Dillon doesn't hurt him. I hope Dillon's not just saying "I love you" to get into Andy's pants. (We all know he didn't have to say anything to do that! lol) Hey, a thought just came to me: how come Andy and Dillon never talked about being gay? I just thought that was something most gay guys talk about, you know, like when you first realized it, have you told anyone, stuff like that. I think Matt and Co. are very close to solving the Andy/Dillon puzzle. This was a really good chapter, Spirit!

Ok, so I'm reading the reviews and reading your comments to the reviews and now I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what Jason could possibly need to talk to Scott about. It must be especially 'delicate' if he doesn't even want to talk about it in public. So, you kept telling the reviewers that oh, so close and closer still and almost there....(ok, so that sounded pretty racy, lol)...so I thought maybe JASON'S the one who Steve was having an affiar with and not that other guy (ian, was his name?). But then why would he want Noah there too. Oh yeah, as a buffer in case Scott decided to kill him. Hmm, now this is driving me NUTS, NUTS I tell you! All the other things I come up with just have to do with Steve's murder. Ugh, now I have to wait until you update. Bad, bad Fitz. lol

Weren't Bay's parents concerned with the amount of running he's doing? All that running can't be good on his feet. I mean, isn't there damage he could be doing to his body w/that constant running? Thank God he listened to Dale and the others when they were talking about self-defense. It saved him from something very horrible happening. I'm sure now he will be too scared to go back into the city.What will he do with all his free Saturday nights? Oh yeah, he'll run. Now his past is becoming his present. It'll be interesting to see what happened back home before he came to Dale's.

I actually thought in the last chapter (ch. 10), that Jon did tell Kent he loves him too. I think Kent didn't bring up the subject of Jon moving to Cali b/c he didn't want to push Jon and maybe he was waiting for Jon to mention something about it. Now of course I remember Kent's going to Stanford, so yes, he definitely does NOT want to change schools! lol My bad. lol

Man, I was crying right along with Jon. That was such a beautiful gift that Kent got Jon. What a beautiful chapter mNmusings. I'm hoping that with only two weeks left, Kent will surprise Jon and tell him that he was accepted to a school closer to him. Certainly not in Cali. Somewhere where he'd be close to Jon and his sister. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I don't know where I was hiding that I missed the past two chapters. I know I have one more to catch up with, but I wanted to comment for this chapter. I think that Jon is worrying so much about Kent being "the one" or at least being in a relationship with him is quite normal. I think it means that he really does like Kent a lot if he's worried about losing him. You know, it's the beginning weeks and months of a new relationship that is the most angst-ridden, I think. You're not secure with yourself and you're always thinking what if he/she sees someone more attractive, what if he/she thinks I'm boring, etc. There are so many insecurities during the beginning stages of a relationship, I think it's normal for Jon to feel this way. And as I stated before, to me it proves how much he really likes Kent. And now to comment on men being big babies when they're not feeling well: YOU'RE DAMN STRAIGHT! LOL Pardon the pun. But as Daithi said, it doesn't matter what your sexuality is, men are big babies when they're sick. Ok, on to the next chapter.

"Oh fucking hell no!" Now THAT was funny! "I'm not that gay!" not so much. You really fucked up big time, Bay. Now what are you gonna do, take off running? That won't solve anything. You're going to have to kiss ass, eat dirt, and grovel for a long time. AND face Zupan while you're doing it! While he's looking smug in the corner. I'm hoping Issac was right when he told Bay he couldn't live w/o him. Issac needs time to cool off. Maybe HE should go for a run to clear his head. He already knows Bay has no filter and doesn't think before he speaks, maybe he can find it in his heart to forgive him. Issac must be questioning why Bay would say such a thing to begin with. Maybe Bay will finally tell Issac everything. Such angst! Great job, Sasha!

Well, all your other reviewers think Andy's gonna get burned.Idk...maybe I'm dumb or naive. I didn't assume Dillon was taking advantage of of Andy. I think if he were taking advantage of Andy, he would have made Andy please him and he wouldn't have reciprocated. And he DEFINITELY wouldn't have swallowed! lol I just think that Dillon saw something in Andy that told him Andy would be a safe person to confess his feelings to. Maybe he noticed Andy constantly checking him out. Who knows. Time will tell. Hopefully I won't be walking away with my tail between my legs b/c I was wrong. lol As for Matt, I don't think he was jealous. He didn't act jealous. He certainly didn't act like Andy did when Matt took over his QB job. Now THAT was jealousy! And Matt told Andy to be careful; he said it nicely, not snidely like he was jealous or upset with Andy. Matt said that as a friend; he had no ulterior motive or anything for warning Andy. While I was looking something up for this review, I noticed your comment to my last review. I actually have three boys, not two. As always Spirit, I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

The story is definitely getting better. Poor Xavier, thinking that he can't tell Axel his feelings. And Axel, being so young and away from home for an indefinite amount of time, must be really painful. It's good he knows that Xavier is there for him. I'm looking forward to the next chapter Joe. =)

I just started reading this. It's a good premise, but as far as consistency, I'm not sure if they said 'bro' in the 40's. Actually, I'm 99 percent sure they didn't. lol But I will keep reading! On to chapter three.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" - gee, and I thought it was Kanye who made that up. Either him or Kelly Clarkson. lol J/K I don't know where I was that I totally missed this chapter. If you don't mind, I just wanted to point out a few typos, since you said you're revising as you go along...when Matt was with a girl you said something about her braw. I think you meant bra. Also, 'now days' is one word: nowadays. And my last nitpick of the night is physic or something like that. When Matt was talking about Andy's muscular physic towards the end of the chapter. It's physique. =) Ok, sorry, I just wanted to get that down before I forgot. On to the review: Wow, I've heard kids start young nowadays (lol), But constant sex at fourteen, wow. Andy developed quite the reputation. lol And it is quite sad that kids (guys and girls), just looked at him as this big football star. And thank you for the football lesson. lol I did know that when they're in the huddle, the QB is the one who calls the plays. I should have really paid more attention when my kid had a football quiz in his 8th grade gym class last year. And yes, he's finishing up his freshman year of high school and no, he is NOT experienced like Andy and Matt. lol (Whew! Thank God for that!) Anyway, sorry, I got off on a tangent. It's just sad that kids see these athletes and all they think about is their athletic prowess and intellect on the field. They don't see the real person inside, just the athlete who they can gain popularity from just by hanging around him. Matt seems to be pretty smart. He's taking his time trying to figure out what he is. He's not trying to seduce Andy or anything. lol And really, at fourteen, fifteen, a mouth is a mouth, right? And a tight space is a tight space. lol Although girls like Joan probably don't have that tight space anymore. Well, the front door I mean, not the backdoor. Hmm, funny how front door is two words, but backdoor is one word. Ok, it's late so I won't get to the next chapter until tomorrow. Maybe by then I'll have two to catch up with. Oh, I tried to rate the story with five stars, but it only let me do four. I'll try again though.

Hehe, still misspelled. Issac definitely handled himself well at the club. Those boys (or bois?), did not deserve what Bay did. Issac is right; Bay really needs to learn tolerance. I know it goes back years and years for Bay, but it's time to grow up and get over it. He needs to learn that there are all different people in the world, some will be flamboyant gay boys, and some will even be flamboyant straight boys. I still hate Zupan, maybe now even more considering he was the one driving the car that fateful day. I do agree with Bay's feelings; Zupan has no right to threaten Bay about hurting Issac. Intentional or not, Zupan still hurt Issac the day of the accident. I don't remember if I asked this before, but was Zupan always an ass? lol

Good luck tomorrow KC! My thoughts and prayers will be with you! I was sorta curious to what evidence gay sex leaves as compared to straight sex...I mean, not meaning to get graphic, but cum-stained sheets can be found after both types of sex. Just sayin'... And I don't know why what gave me this impression, but I thought Ziggy was gay - that's why I thought Asher laughed so hard when the cop told him Ziggy was the target b/c he slept with the shooter's wife. Florence Nightengale Michael has a nice ring to it. lol I think Michael will have his work cut out for him. Good luck again, KC.

Holy shit! What's he gonna do? I can't believe he killed that hooker. He is so messed up. I can't believe social services would place him in a dilapidated bungalow with some old guy who already had a kid taken away from him! That wouldn't happen in real life, would it? I mean, how bad is the system? I'm anxiously waiting for chapter three.

Damn, just when we were getting to the good part! lol J/K Poor Kent. Cara is a smart girl and a great sister. I think Jon will be the perfect guy to ease Kent into gay sex. lol And it seems Kent is ready for it. hehe

'Birthday blow jobs to bathroom blow jobs in nine days' - that was pretty funny. And now he got way more than a kiss. Bay definitely did not handle the whole thing with Lena well. By not talking to her or contacting her, and in essence, avoiding her in the days following the bj, he made her feel like he used her She's going to be angry with him for quite awhile, I think. Maybe one day he can come clean with her, but definitely not now.

I could definitely see Andy being jealous of Matt taking his QB position. I think if it were any other teammate, Andy would feel differently, but b/c it's his bff, he feels jealousy. Andy thought his life as he knew it was over when he broke his leg. So dramatic. lol I'm glad he got his funk back. I'm looking forward to reading about him making touchdowns. lol Anyone on the team can make a touchdown, right? It doesn't just belong to one position, right? See, this is how much I know about football. Nada.

And he's back! Dan/Tse-Ho is not a happy boy. Maybe he'll cheer up a little bit during his visit, but since he's trying to forget something very painful I doubt it. I wonder if his parents will notice his mood. Too bad he can't hook up with the cute waiter. lol

I just noticed we're all spelling Issac's name wrong. We're spelling it the 'traditional' way, with two 'a's' and not two 's's'. Sorry. This was a very emotional chapter. Well, reading about the tragedy. And it wasn't that long ago, right? I mean, Issac is in his late twenties, right? So it was only like five years ago or so, right? And who knew there was such a thing as wheelchair rehab. But it makes sense. As always, looking forward to more Sasha!

I agree with everyone else - Bay has certainly grown up and showed a lot of maturity in this chapter. I was reading a story on another site about a man who lost his leg from his thigh down. He lost it when he was in the war. Anyway, he didn't have a bionic leg; he just had a regular prothestic. I was just curious why Isaac got a bionic leg. Oh, and I think I saw that runner's leg. Last August at the Olympics in London, there was a runner (forgot where he was from), he had one of those legs, with the hook-like foot at the end. It was cool the way the foot thing kind of made him bounce. Anyway, I'm glad they're getting along well and Bay didn't freak out. Ok, on to the next chapter.

What an ass Ted was. And so rude in the end; he didn't even thank Mark for dinner. Trey seems promising. I like him already just from his first line. =)

Lol, just read your response to my review. As far as editing is concerned, I do see that you post every day or so...but the good thing is the chapters are pretty short. lol I could definitely edit for you, but I'm not sure I could turn the chapter around in a day. But if you don't mind waiting a couple of days if necessary, then I could do it. Sometimes I can get the chapter back to you in the same day, it depends on how busy I am. If you want, you can email me the next chapter and I'll take a look at it. My email is LisaT25@msn.com

Underwears? lol You mean underwear? This is one of those words that is the same in the singular and the plural. I liked their first date. So it was technically Friday night, not Saturday,right? So Kent was pretty anxious, lol. At least he's holding off with the sex. They don't want to do everything on the first date, after all. Looking forward to the next chapter. =)

Well, he says he's an average looking guy. He does find others to be with, but maybe if he wants a lasting relationship, he should hang out at other places besides bathhouses. lol And I thought bathhouses didn't exist anymore. I just Googled it and boy was I wrong! haha Anyway...love Trevor, he sounds so cute. Hey, does Cara know about the main character. What is his name, it wasn't mentioned, was it? Anyway, maybe she has a friend she can introduce him to. Ok, on to the next chapter. Oh, btw, Gatzby is Gatsby.
