Jeremy needs to get the hell out of that relationship. He really needs to listen to his friends and kick Jacob to the curb. "I'm giving you fifteen minutes." WTF? And Jeremy allows Jacob to treat him like that. Why? Why does Jeremy feel the need to be physically and verbally abused? Does he feel that down on himself, is his self-esteem so low that he thinks he DESERVES to be treated like this? Jeremy needs to hightail it out of there and find Chris; he seems like a really sweet guy. Oh, in the scene where Jeremy walks into the apt. and apologizes to Jacob, you switch from the third pov to the first. I'm looking foward to the next chapter!

I'm really curious to find out what happend with Kyle. And what's with the coordinating dreams that Kyle and Jacob had? Great second chapter! I love how you can feel the love between Jacob and Matthew. It's good that they can communicate so well and not fight like a lot of siblings. I look forward to the next update!

Haha, now you don't have to send out the search parties for me! I always wait until I know I won't be interrupted to read your chapters Jon. Unfortunately, that may take a day or two after you post.... This chapter was wonderful! So we learned that Devon actually has a heart. Although I am against separating CJ and Liz, I do agree and think for the six months, it would be good for him to finish out his school year in Dallas. Although Devon says it's also b/c of puberty; hey, he'll still be going thru puberty in six months. What's she gonna do then, look in a manual? But she did do the right thing by Coop, so I forgive her. lol Loved the line, "I made a mental note to watch it on Thursday at 8/7 central." Hahah. Actually the trip down memory lane had me choked up a bit. So sad how things that start off so well end up so bad. Although from what I took from that short trip, if it were me w/Coop, I would know in the back of my mind that if Chase ever came back, I'd be pushed aside quicker than you can say Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Even if it was twenty years later, it still happened. Glad that Chase didn't disappoint Coop and seems to be in it for the long haul. I loved the interaction between CJ and Chase. Now Morgan, hmmm, where do you think he disappeared to? Did Coop finally get to him during their visit? Is he gonna be stalking Coop's house? B/c we know he didn't fly back to Cali. He needs to torture C&C some more. The sick fuck. I just hope Chase doesn't bail out on Coop b/c he feels guilty or worse, blaming Coop for Morgan's MIA status b/c Coop is the one who went to see Morgan w/o the best intentions. Awesome chapter as usual Jon! Looking forward to the next one! =)

Ok, something weird just happened Night. You posted a chapter 24 and I clicked on it, but there was no writing, no chapter, so I hit the review button and told you the chapter wasn't there. Then I get a notification from you that you responded to my "review", but there's no "review". I guess it got deleted, and when I clicked on the chapter in the lastest story updates, it said an error has occurred and the story isn't there....I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

?????????????? What happened to the chapter?

Hey podium, just read your comments on my comments, lol. I know all about wrestling, and unless Kyle is JV, then he most likely has to cut weight. If he's 115 lbs, he has to wrestle either 113 or 120. He's lucky if it's 120 then he doesn't have to watch his weight too much, but still he wouldn't be eating cheeseburgers. They tend to eat pretty healthy during wrestling season. And at five foot two, he's pretty short. One hundred and fifteen pounds might look a bit chunky on him. We have wrestlers who are five two and weigh only 106. Anyway, sorry I was nitpicking. I just noticed a few discrepancies only b/c I know wrestling. In fact our high school just beat our all time rivals. Their rivals were their states's champion for 23 yrs.! And we just beat them. Our high school is well known in our state for having the best wrestlers. Sorry for going on and on.....I enjoyed the second chapter! I'm wondering what's going on with Kyle. I noticed in your tags you wrote abuse. But Kyle said he wasn't abused. And his mother is actually treating him like a child; he's fourteen, right? She treats him like he's a lot younger. And what? No shower after swimming? lol I'm also wondering if there's a father in the picture. Maybe that's why Kyle was so sad? Anyway, I look forward to the next chapter. Thx. for answering my questions before. =)

Hey, just found your story and read the first chapter so far. I had a few questions. First, why did you change pov's? The chapter started out in the first person, and then went to the third person. Also, not to nitpick, but if Kyle was cutting weight, there's no way he'd be eating a cheeseburger and fries! Even if he was wrestling at 120 lbs, the cheeseburger and fries would most likely put him over his weight limit. And obviously he's not wrestling at 113, so...lol My middle son wrestles at 120; he's normaly 135-140 lbs and is probably around five eight. He can't eat cheeseburgers for the whole wrestling season! lol Just trying to make it realistic..... Anyway, enough of the lesson in cutting weight...this was an enjoyable chapter. I love Jacob's timidness and shyness when it comes to Kyle. Hopefully he'll come out of his shell soon though. Ok, on to chapter two!

The title is so fitting for this chapter. Cooper seems to be trying to do the right thing all the time; for his kids, for his ex, for Chase, hell, even for Morgan now. And it always backfires in his face. I was surprised at Kyle. It was obvious he had someone with him, but not even to try to make some time to talk to Cooper. Cooper would have dropped everything/everyone (well, maybe not Chase, lol) to talk if Kyle needed an ear. The whole Morgan visit; Coop does have balls. I don't know if I would have done that though. Probably not, b/c I would have thought Chase would have been furious with me. I was surprised that Chase wasn't furious with Coop. I think if Chase listened to Coop and had Morgan stay in Dallas and live in his old house, it would have driven Coop crazy. I think Morgan being so close would drive Coop nuts. Morgan would be in their faces 24/7. No, Chase needs to get him back to Cali and out of their lives for good. Coop shouldn't feel guilty; Morgan is a grown-up and if he's so desperate that he would kill himself trying to get Chase back, then it's his decision. Chase has been enabling him long enough; it's time to cut the cord, as they say. Loved the Youtube comment. Hated the scene in general with Coop and CJ. CJ is hurting big time. Who knows how long it will take before he comes around? I think Devon should have talked to him to explain why his dad did what he did. And said what he said. Right now CJ can't think past the fact that he thinks his father abandoned him. I'm also happily surprised at Mike. I didn't realize his feelings for Liz were so strong that he would care so much that she's moving away. Excellent chapter Jon; as always! I hope things start turning around for Coop. He doesn't deserve all this negativity in his life right now.

I loved Ray's thoughts. What an interesting concept: meeting your twin. Interesting though that Ray didn't catch on to what Alex's daughter meant when she mentioned Dad Max. (or did he and I just read that wrong? lol)

That was a great chapter Billy, but from the ending of the previous chapter, I was thinking that something horrible would happen! Luckily I was wrong! I loved Andy's speech of love to Joey; they are so sweet together. I'm curious to find out why Andy's dad and Roger's parents seem so spooked. And of course I don't truse JT at all.

You're telling me the chapter was short! lol I'm glad Ulysses is now hanging out w/his new friends. I'm looking forward to reading more!

Oh man Billy; I can't believe you left that little cliffie there......maybe we should vote you King of the Cliffie's. lol I would agree w/Andy and feel something was up with the way his father was acting. The three parents definitely were taking all the precautions to make sure the kids would be safe from JT's family. Now I have this horrible feeling JT or his asshole father will be paying Andy and Joey a visit..... Looking forward to the next chapter Billy!

Good second chapter! I think though you made two mistakes when the kids were introduced to Ulysses. The first one was when Hector was introduced and then you mentioned the name Javier. I think you meant to say Hector. And then when Tina said something, you mentioned Liz's name, but from the sentence it was clearly Tina that you meant. Other than that; great chapter! It's good that Ulysses is making new friends; as Sarah said; it's depressing moving so often and not making any friends. I look forward to the next update!

Omg Em, that was amazing! I was terrified for Ian! When he got to the room, I thought maybe it was a set-up and someone planted the phone there knowing he'd pick it up. Then I thought maybe it'd be a surprise b-day party or something for him when he opened the door! But wow, what a great story Em!

Wow, so glad you updated! I'm so upset about Will! I'm kind of annoyed with both Darren and Jacob, but mostly Darren. Darren finally realizes he's in love with Will. He calls off his wedding to elope with Will and they get into an accident. Now he's all lovey-dovey with Jacob and Will is a vegetable. I know he's going to take care of Will, but then he'll be hooking up with Jacob every chance he gets. It sort of takes away from the "love" I thought he had for Will. Why isn't he hearbroken about Will? Why does he seem so indifferent? Here's this guy he finally realized he wanted to spend the rest of his life with (romantically), now he's in a coma, and he acts like he doesn't really care that the real Will is gone forever. I look forward to the next chapter. Hopefully Darren will feel more sadness when it comes to Will.

Well, at least Dean regrets what he did. Oh man, he totally took advantage of Dave. And shit, if Tyler ever finds out.....and Dean hasn't let Tyler in on Dave's secret so far, will he now? And we all KNOW it's Ugly Davey who Tyler is smitten with, right? He will feel so betrayed when he finds out the truth. Awesome chapter Em! Can't wait for more!

What an amazing story! Is it over? Will there be more? You had the whole OCD thing down to a 'T'. My ex had OCD really bad. Cloroxed everything, even him and I. Did you know that Clorox kills 99% of germs? Yep, years ago, the CDC and I were best friends. Thankfully Prozac helped a lot. I'm actually surprised Jake's doctor didn't precribe meds. I think with the therapy, meds would have helped a lot. I'm not sure if someone with OCD as bad as Jake had it could be helped with just therapy. Anyway, it was a terrific story. I'm glad they finally were able to find each other again.

So I waited four days to read this. I've been putting it off and putting it off till I couldn't put it off any longer. I must have read your A/N about a dozen times and then X'd out of the page! I was too afraid to scroll down and continue! But, your story beckoned me and I finally finished it. One less box of Kleenex later.....it was fantastic. Beautiful, emotionally, heartbreaking, yet hopeful. I want to thank you for making me laugh before you made me cry. Dr. Baker is priceless and I want to go see her! She was hysterical making fun of Derek and how she was going to get paid. Truly funny! You tied up all the loose ends. It's just too bad Derek's father isn't being tortured in jail. That I would have loved to read about. I'm surprised, but not surprised that Charlie and Travis broke up. The kiss was beautiful. And it made Derek realize he wanted Big C to wait for him. And Hero will wait for however long it takes. So I figure you could take a month off, and then start with the sequel. It should start six months after Derek moves. He's moving back after say, graduation, to resume life with his Big C. But of course, not to resume it as their relationship was, but to make it better and stronger. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking. What do you think? I never told you I hate for fantastic stories to end, so I have to think of something that will keep you writing! lol Kudos to you Hamen; you definitely deserve the story of the year award (or whatever award you mentioned), author of the year: you got my vote. =) You are truly an extremely talented writer and I look forward to reading more from you. Maybe the sequel......hint, hint?

Love it so far! I feel so bad for Ulysses to have to move so many times. It must be so tough making new friends whereever you go. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Cooper, you dumb fuck. I just want to smack him upside his head. First he's putting all this pressure or burdening Chase telling Chase he did this (not fighting Devon taking the kids to Chicago) because of him. Ok, he did admit it wasn't all b/c of Chase, but c'mon Coop! You did it for the right reason (not separating the kids), don't put all this on Chase. And he did this for the right reason, but he didn't explain it the way he should have. He should have just told CJ the truth; he needs to be with his sister. He should have told CJ he wanted to speak with him separately, but that didn't work out. He should have NEVER said he didn't want him hanging around! What an ass! You don't tell a fourteen year old boy who looks up to you and loves you so much something like that. Trust me, Coop DOES NOT want CJ to hate him. What kind of horrible thing is that to say? I don't care that obviously he didn't mean it, but how is CJ to know that? And the end line, omg, after all this, he better not try to end it with Chase. Jesus Christ, just b/c Chase didn't answer his phone, doesn't mean you throw it all away! He could have been in the shower like Coop was earlier. Idk, maybe Coop is just looking for a scapegoat and Chase is it. Very emotional chapter Jon. Welcome back! Now I can retract that missing persons report I filed.

I've been putting off reading this b/c I was afraid it was the end....:( I absolutely LOVE Percy's mom; she is too cool! And Maxthemagnificant is definitely magnificant! He was willing to show himself the whole time. Percy could have seen who he was way back when.....but then I guess there'd be no story! lol I was really worried however when Percy was dropped off at the twins place. Or wherever that was. I actually thought they were gonna kidnap him or something. Loved Rocket's payback line! KC, I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this story! I will certainly miss Binx and Max, but I look forward to reading your new story! And as far as writing classes: BAH! You don't need 'em; I'd give you an A+++++++

Hey Dom - I'm working my way thru all your stories, slowly but surely. I just finished the last chapter of this amazing story. I'm disappointed to realize that this story hasn't been updated since Dec. of 2010. Are you planning on finishing it? I really hope so. It's distressing because I think since I've been on this site, I don't think I've read any story from you that was updated. I really hope you finish this one.....

Glad to see Luke becoming more social and more involved with school. Sky sounds pretty cool. I look forward to your next chapter!

Omg, Derek can't die!!!!!!! I'm so, so glad he finally was able to admit to Charlie what he always wanted to but never could. I really thought it would have been Travis who saved Derek by using the trashcan cover on Jared. And where the heck is Travis? Can he not hear all the commotion in that alley? Where is Charlie's boss? Is he deaf? lol And Jared! I was like, who the heck is Jared?! Now of course I remember. What a psycho! And Derek should have added Luke to the list of people who knew about Charlie and Travis. How did Jared think he was the only one? And Travis was with Charlie way before Derek found out. So what rock did Jard crawl out from? And I'm assuming Jared killed Luke? What a wacko. Loved the scene in Travis' car with Derek. Also loved the plug! lol Efiction? Hamen Cheese stories? That's what Travis shoulda said. "Oh yeah, the story is from this awesome author, Hamen Cheese!" I loved the light humor in the scene. Which made the next scene horrific. And shit! Doesn't Charlie have a cell phone to call 911?????? Luckily I read this on Sunday; only two more days to wait! Wait! This is the end of book four...and there's only one chapter left. So that means that book five only has that one last chapter? Shit, I'm gonna miss these guys....:(

I think Percy's "anonymous" life is now over. I think those evil twins are gonna out him to the whole charity event. And the whole city. They'll probably publish some junk just for their tabloid. Poor Percy. And where the hell did Max go?????????? I can't believe this story is almost over; it's been one of my favorites for so long now! I'm really gonna miss it!
