Hey Krista, I started reading this yesterday and was hooked from the first line. Wow, so much has happened since the first chapter. But something that has not changed is how much of an ass Corey's dad is. His 'assness' (probably not even a word) just increases from chapter to chapter. What his mom, who I think is wonderful, btw, ever saw in him, is beyond me. I like Jenny now that she knows her and Corey will only be friends. And that whole statement about needing a gay best friend kinda came out of the blue. And what the hell happened with Greg? He was an ass for leading Corey on like that and then ignoring him and just really menally fucking with his mind. And Clinton I see as a good guy, but when he's with his ass of a friend CJ (why isn't the 'j' capitalized?) he just follows along like an idiot. But when he's by himself, he's actually a nice guy. And how could Clinton's parents like CJ? Don't they know what a douche he is? You know, CJ and Corey's dad would get along great, they're so alike. I also have a feeling that Clinton's more like Corey than he thinks. Although Clinton was being an ass out by the pool. Luckily he redeemed himself when he and Corey were talking on the front steps of Amber's house. Anyway, I'm really enjoying the story and I'm sad that I got to the last chapter. Hopefully you'll update sooner than six months....

Another fantastic angsty chapter furnished. My heart just goes out to this poor kid. And it's not like I can even say, well, it's just a story; it's fiction. I'm sure there are I don't know, hundreds, millions of kids out there feeling the same exact way as Caleb. And my heart goes out to them all. His feelings towards his sister; how he thinks she's so brave b/c she doesn't care what people think of her, how he wishes he could be more like her is just so sad. Maybe Cassie can sense that something's up with her brother. Maybe, just maybe he can feel comfortable enough to confide in her. He needs to tell someone something; he's going crazy here. I just wanted to point out two typos: when Caleb was talking about how his mom's an interior designer, and there's beautiful artwork on the walls she probably payed too much for, it should be paid. Also, at the end of the chapter where Caleb strips and stairs in the mirror; it should be stares. Other than that; another perfect chapter. Very emotional, very angsty, lol. I can't wait for chapter three. Have a wonderful holiday furnished! =)

Another emotional chapter. I'm glad Tom set up Will and Scott to talk. Will is really a good guy; he just took his feelings a bit too far. Tom seems like a great guy too; I'm sure he missed Scott as his other best friend. I hope Scott can get past the fact that Tom and Steve were twins, and be the best friend to Tom that he was in the past. Great chapter Fitz. Looking forward to the next one.

"Man, these guys are freaks" and "Wait, these guys are us", hysterical lines! Had me cracking up! Which is good b/c in the next few sentences I was crying! I admit I was pretty choked up when Chris was reading the cards he gave to David. I loved the scene in the kitchen; very cute and domesticated. lol And as usual, the boys (Liam and Ethan) were adorable! I hope Chris doesn't get into an accident on that bike! I wonder if he'll automatically ride to David's work, maybe out of habit? Great chapter Kim! Looking forward to the next one! And a happy holiday to you!

Holy shit! Did Chris, Theo and Aaron's mom just pull an "Aunt Camille"? Did she wipe Theo out of her mind? Holy crap! I got chills when they were in the car and she didn't even address Theo; she didn't even LOOK at him! I'd be freaked if I were Theo! Now I'm really curious as to what Chris has to tell them and also what the hell their mom told Aaron in secret. The story of the boy is amazing. I'm sure the baby makes it, b/c M.K. story is mirroring Theo's story a bit. Well, at least with the three boys, the middle one being gay..... Ok Yanks, I'm on pins and needles here, so I hope you update quickly!

Great start to your new story Damond! Can't wait to read more!

Quinn definitely has to give Cameron space and time to come to terms with what he did. But it seems they're becoming closer and Cameron DID invite him and his mom over, so that's a good sign, just like Allen said. I hope he can work things out with his father. I thought in the last chapter that Allen's suggestion that his father come to therapy also was great. Quinn could tell his father how he feels and the therapist would be right there. And now it would be even better b/c the father's moving out and therefore Quinn wouldn't have to see him every day to be yelled at or talked down to over his feelings for his father. Awesome chapter Damond; looking forward to the next one! And looking forward to checking out your new story also! =)

Ha! Kevin and Jonas! Funny there Billy! JT's dad is such a dirtbag, you know JT will be getting shit from his father if he fails to hurt Andy and Joey. Even suspension and expulsion won't stop JT or his father. Oohhh, maybe Andy's family could get a restraining order on them...just sayin'. And speaking of Andy's family (and extended family), wow, they are terrific! I knew they would take Andy's coming out well. As if they didn't already know...lol Great chapter Billy! Looking forward to the next one! I hope Andy put JT in the hospital at least! =)

This is one of the most well-written stories I've read. My heart is bleeding for poor Caleb. How he has to pretend he's someone he's not and how a little piece of him probably dies every day b/c he's not being true to himself. I can't wait for the next chapter! Awesome job furnished!

Well Dariyo, if I wasn't confused in the last chapter; I am now! lol I know the last chapter and this were in italics. I thought maybe the last chapter was some sort of dream that Jace was having. Or a story he was writing. But this chapter totally confused me! I was expecting to see the two boys from the last chapter in it! lol Both these 'different' chapters are interesting and very well-written. I did like reading about the new 'alternate universe' in the last chapter. But maybe you could write a little author's note at the beginning of the next chapter to explain how these two separate chapter relate to the main story. Thanks!

KC - LOVE your new story! I feel so bad for Gibby and his dad. Obviously they've suffered a lot. I hope things get better for them.

Wow, I'm kinda confused. Was this kid real? Or was the narrator imagining him? And who the hell are they and do they have anything to do with the story? lol

Well if Chris never remembers David and David wants to switch teams, I'll take him! Oh man, the things he said to Christian made me swoon. I'm jealous of Christian.... And those kids. omg, how much more adorable could they possibly get? They're terrific! And so well behaved! Which of course is a testament to both parents. Great chapter Kim, looking forward to reading more about Christian's journey; the lucky bastard.

So, I ran out of tissues and had to resort to napkins. Just not the same thing. The goodbye scene between Theo and Shane was incredibly moving. I don't blame Theo; I fell in love with Shane also. All three boys have such a terrific relationship, it's amazing. I wish my kids were like that. lol I really like Jeremy Greene (ha, I think that's a title of another story on here). I wonder what he's so upset about though. And Theo's great-great-uncle CHOPPED LITTLE KIDS UP?????!!!!! Omg! What a thing to learn about someone in your family! Wait until his mom finds out! lol Yanks, this is such an awesome, awesome story. It's so well-written, free from typos, grammatical errors, etc. You are a very talented writer and I look forward to the next chapter.

What an amazing chapter Jasper! Did Elijah's sister have to shave her hair off too? Omg, poor Elijah; he can't even put mousse in his hair. His mother has really fucked up her family. I like the conversation he had with Mark; I thought it was really sweet. Mark's really insightful; where most teenage boys are wrapped up in their hormones, letting them consume them, Mark's got his head on straight and knows once the hormones have their way, he'll be left empty. Smart boy. And of course he's right about the swim team; that whole scene with Jamie will blow over and they'll forget all about Elijah's "solidarity kiss".

Oh Caffled, so glad you updated! I love this story so much! There seems to be so many things to buy or to make sure of when you move to another country. I did read once about the plugs in the UK being different than the US plugs and I know that a lot of cell phones don't work in other countries unless you pay for international calling, or something like that. Anyway....awesome chapter as usual. Thankfully I didn't cry as much as I have in the past! lol I wonder what all that knocking is that Jon hears? Could it be the red headed kid? Can't wait for more Caffled!

Well that last sentence had me drying up my tears. =) Is he going to run into Will again? Don't they need some closure? Not that they had that type of relationship, but still, even as Scott's therapist, I would think Will would want some closure. I really feel for Scott. Losing your partner must be horrific. I can see how he'd be feeling guilty and going thru all those self-destructive defense mechanisms. Oh, how come Scott hasn't been in contact with the police? Did they find the killer? Great chapter Fitz, looking forward to more!

I didn't figure it out until the note that said he's been right under his nose the whole time. And also the 'Jakey' thing; only a bff would call him Jakey, right? This was such an awesome, awesome story! It was so well-written and mysterious; had me pretty much on pins and needles the whole way thru! And omg, thank GOD Jakey didn't give it up for Max! As hot as Max was, I think he'd be really upset (as would Kevin) if he went thru with it. Ironically it was Kevin who put a stop to that! And how right was Vince? What other boy would put an end to all the others interested in Jake? Only Kevin. What a terrific story MJ! I'm so sorry to see it end. Maybe you'll do a sequel? Like Kevin coming out to his family, with Jake there for support?

Awww, you had me tearing up there at the end. David is so sweet, kissing him every night, even when Christian was in a coma. I found it comical that Christian was pretty much drooling when he saw David in his shorts and shirt. Straight guys wouldn't look twice, right? lol I love the way Christian was with the boys. Those boys are precious and Christian was so good with them. Awesome chapter Nap; can't wait for more! Oh, I almost forgot! When Tibby first comes into the room and finally says hello to Christian, she calls him Mr. Beck, but then when she's leaving, it's Mr. Back, so I think you meant to write Beck. =)

Shit, I was bawling along with Billy at the end! I'm a bit confused though. I did re-read the last chapter just so I would remember where the story left off, and Billy and David both said "I love you" to the other. So why in this chapter it was taboo? I think Sam's meddling is irritating. I totally understand where she's coming from and I do applaud her in the fact that she told Billy she will always be there for him when he needs it, but enough is enough girl! Billy and David need to make their own decisions; it's not up to her to try to break them up. And besides, how horrible would it be for them to 'break up' and still be sleeping in the same room, working together, being together practically 24/7? That would be pure torture. Another thing: this thing with Seth. I don't remember from previous chapters, and I know Billy's father is an ass to put it mildly, but is he also the Gestapo? He has total control over him and Annie that they CAN'T EVEN CALL THEIR OTHER SON/BROTHER ON THE PHONE????? Annie does not seem like the type of woman who would acquiesce to this. She always seemed like a strong woman to me and one that is close to her children. I can't see her bowing down to her husband on this. And don't they have computers? Billy and Seth can't IM? Skype? Without the Gestapo finding out? He has way too much control there. He needs to be brought down a peg or two. Hopefully with all those secret papers, Annie will knock him down quite a few notches. Loved that they were dancing to Aldean! Luke Bryan would have been awesome too! Fabulous chapter Night! Definitely worth the wait! I hope David, with Billy's help, maybe even their friend's help, can come up with a plan to have David stay.

Wow! What a fantastic story! Callum is so funny I found myself cracking up at all his inner thoughts. Then I found myself really pissed at him for not confessing and letting his bff AND crush take the blame! I'm glad he finally confessed even if it was too late. I was also surprised about the caning? Thought that shit went out in the 50's? Anyway, awesome twist at the end; totally did not see that one coming! Will there be more? This story is so well-written and intriguing and I can't wait to find out more about Callum and Jake. =)

Intune, thank you SO much! I spent Idk how long this morning scrolling thru FORTY FRIGGEN PAGES of stories! lol Now I know exactly how to do it! Thank you again; you're a lifesaver! =)

I'm trying to find a story called "Always". I'm not sure who wrote it. It was listed as one of the 'recent update' stories a few days ago but now that other stories have been updated, this particular story is gone from the list. I searched forty pages of stories and didn't find it. I'm sure I missed it. I am really confused. How does GA sort all these stories? It certainly isn't by alphabetical order. Wouldn't that make sense? I had to scroll through FORTY PAGES and I missed the story! So, being as disgusted as I am with this whole system, how are these stories sorted? By chronological order? It seems on page FORTY, the stories go back to January of 2011. But....I saw Indiana Summer there and that was just recently updated. So I guess there goes that theory. It would be awesome if someone could fill me in on the logic of finding stories, so the next time I don't catch a story before it's wiped off the 'recent story' list, I'll know how to find it without going through FORTY PAGES of stories. Thank you. Lisa

Yay! You updated! lol That whole party was amusing, well except for asinine Ashton. He's an ass. I love the way Merry described how he sees Jace. It was really beautiful. And the whole scene out by the pool with Uncle Dave. He's a hoot! Can't wait for more!

Wow, what an awesome chapter Jasper! I was so proud of Elijah for 'helping' Jamie out like he did. I guess I was a little confused with what Tom was saying. He knows, and most of the kids in school know, even SOPHIE knows that Elijah messes around with boys at parties. How could they not think he's at least bi? Why would they even think he's outing himself by sticking up for Jamie? If they think he swings both ways? Also, I liked the conversation with Tom where Tom says kissing girls is fun, kissing boys is weird unless you're gay. And Eli says you kiss guys out of curiosity, for fun, etc. Ok, once, maybe twice you kiss a guy out of curiosity, after that you're not curious anymore; you're doing it b/c you want to. Isn't it like when a guy pees; you shake your dick once, twice to make sure all the pee is off of it, but after the second shake, you're just playing with yourself? lol It's like that! And Pineapple Express: I didn't get it either. And I watched it two times. But mainly for James Franco. =)
