Omg Hamen, you really crack me up! 'Andrew sat there and fell asleep', hahah, hysterical! And I so did not see that coming where Charlie admitted to Derek that he was in love with him. Well, not in those words, but isn't that what he meant when he said he wished it were Derek kissing him instead of Travis? And Luke, what a fucker; sending Travis threatening letters, threatening Charlie?! Something needs to be done about him; he is way too dangerous. He's planting all these ideas in people's heads about Derek and people believe him b/c Derek is acting so out of character. I really loved Andrew in this chapter; he's always so philosophical! Another countdown till Tuesday....

This is an amazing story. I have learned so much about Africa just from the past two chapters! It's fascinating! I was speechless when I read about the young boys in Africa pretty much selling themselves to the tourists. Another weird thing is the people's names you wrote about. I also have a Joshi (Joshua, but my mom called him Joshi), a Matti (Matthew) and my b/f's best friend is named Joao. Strange, huh? Anyway, awesome story Russell! Looking forward to chapter three!

Omg, Derek is really losing it. He really needs to go back to Dr.Tralala. Seriously. The whole blood on the jacket thing really turned him upside down. He's acting so strange; he's not remembering things, he's causing fights with people; he really needs professional help. I hope his mom saw this during the meeting, although Derek really didn't display much during the meeting except arrogance. Awesome chapter! I hope he gets the help he needs and fast before it (the jacket, the blood, Charlie) take over his mind and then he'll be really too far gone.

Ha, I remember this one too! But of course the first time around I cried like a little girl (well, duh, I AM a girl) b/c I really thought Shawn was dead! Thank God the "ole' ball and chain" still lives!

Hey Sage, I think I followed you over here! lol I read this on the other site, but just read it again! Poor Anthony; always bitchin' and complain' about Shawn, lol.

Omg Greg, I am so sorry. But I just don't understand. What, did they just totally break up just b/c Alex got a job a few hours away? Are they never going to see each other again? I don't understand, no phone calls, no emails, no texts???? No holidays together? I don't understand. There are a million banks on every corner practically! Are you telling me Barb or w/e Zach's new boss's name is, couldn't ask around and try to get him a transfer? Or even a job in a different bank, doing something else? Just b/c Zach couldn't find his ideal job for a long time, doesn't mean in someplace different it would be the same. He might have been able to find a great job in a different bank. Omg, why the hell wouldn't he go up there w/Alex and look around? He didn't even go up there to see his apartment? Omg, I am so upset. I can't believe they (you) just left it like that. There is nothing better than love and if you find the love of your life, so to speak, nothing should get in the way of that. Not family, not friend and certainly not jobs. This would never be my solution. I would have went up there with Alex and tried my damnest to find something. Idk, I'm sorry this happened to you Greg. My heart is breaking for the two of you. But was this the only solution? Do you every hear from "Alex"?

Omg. WTF just happened? I feel like I got slapped in the face! Holy crap! What happened to Max? Ok, he wanted to send pictures of himself to Percy. Racy pics, or just normal pics of himself? Why didn't Percy want that? He was so excited to see Max sent him messages and he was so happy to talk to him, why did he say no to seeing him? Oh, I know. I would ruin the whole thing. He's falling for Max and he didn't even meet him yet. What if he saw his pics and didn't like what he saw? But Max wanted to show him. Now Max totally shut down. What was with the "it was nice to meet you" shit? From what Percy was thinking, I got the impression that they had been conversing online for quite some time. But that one line from Max made it seem like they just met. Ouch. What's Percy gonna do now? I guess he can send him a message asking him what happened? Why he got so upset? Wow, can't wait for the next chapter KC! Don't keep us (read: me) waiting so long next time. Hint, hint. lol

Ok, what the hell is going on? Are Jesse's parents so stupid they can't tell that their son was BEAT UP BY HIS COUSIN????? And wtf for? What is wrong with his cousins? And he was passed out for TWO WHOLE DAYS AND NO ONE THOUGHT TO MAYBE TAKE HIM TO A DOCTOR???? That whole family is insane. Why is he even there? And where is Austin? Where does he live? Where does Bells live? I don't know; the stupidity of these people really make me angry. I guess I'll just have to read more to find out about Jesse's life. Right now it doesn't look too good.

What a beautiful story Dom! I'm slowly going thru all your stories; I think you're an excellent writer. This story was sort of close to home for me and I found it very sad. Not the outcome; the way it turned out was wonderful! Ok, onto another one of your gems.

Aww, what a sweet story! And Princess Arwen is brought "back to life" so she can reunite Apple with Teasel! And why didn't she get the "he" reference when Apple was asking her to save his true love? lol I guess she was still woozy from her unconsciousness! So Lord Dixton couldn't take rejection and he became evil? Typical male, heheh And even Marky (hahah!) gets to live happily ever after with his love in this new fay kingdom of love. Good job Mark!

It seems like Nick wants to be Sam's fag-hag. lol I think it's really cool that Nick is so, well, cool about everything, but Sam has to move at his own pace. I think Ava knowing about them might make it easier on Sam to let Kelly know. I think he was so cute buying the flowers, and I had to laugh when Jared asked what he did wrong! lol I think they should just go and play it by ear. See what happens. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Haha, my bad! Seth Cohen is an extremely Jewish name, btw! I would say that 99.9 % of Cohens are Jewish, and the name Seth I believe is in the bible? Like Matthew, Joshua, Zachary, David, Aaron I believe....though I haven't read the bible, these are all biblical names. And wait a minute; I KNEW the name Seth Cohen sounded familiar! He was the kid on the "OC", played by Adam Brody! Hahah, now I remember... Ha, I just IMBD'd it just to make sure!

Oh no, what happened to chapter three? I was on here earlier and I swore there was another chapter! But now when I finally had time to read, it's gone! I LOVE this story! I feel so bad for Seth. I love him for his name alone. He's such a nice Jewish boy....he's under so much pressure to be just like his brother. His father sounds like an ass. How could he put so much pressure on his child? Every child is different; you can't compare one's attributes to another one's. His father is putting too much stress on Seth; it's unfair. He should be able to learn and progress in what he loves doing on his own. It's fine to encourage a child; they should be encouraged, but being so nasty is not encouraging. All it does is stress the kid out. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this story and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Holy crap! What happened? Does this pertain to the earlier parts of the story? Whose blood is it on Derek's jacket? I wonder if Charlie remembers. Derek blocked that part out b/c it was too painful. Just like he blocked out parts about his father; it was too painful to remember. His father sounds like a complete ass. Who the fuck is he to suddenly be proud of his son? Proud that his son did such a despicable thing? And he's gonna run Charlie and Mrs. C. (and Mr. C too?) out of town AND "teach the school a lesson" so to speak? What an ass. I am also so proud of Derek for standing up to his father (well, thru his PA, but still...) And that whole scene with Derek's mom and Dr. Tralala from the University of Tralala! Hysterical! That was a very funny scene; I love Dr. Baker; she's a hoot! I think Derek needs to go back and continue talking about Charlie. I am sure there are many parts of his past (like the time he was eleven and can't remember) that will come up. It seems like he buried a lot and I wonder what happened during his childhood that was so catastrophic. Can't wait till next Tuesday! Great chapter as usual Hamen!

Damn, I meant where's chaper nine! Sorry!

Noooooooo, where's chapter eight?????? I just finished the whole story and I'm already going through withdrawal! Oh God, poor Jeremy. Is he just using Lucca to get closer to him to spite Matt? And why the hell would Lucca hang up on Matt? WTF is wrong with him? Couldn't he let Matt finish what he was saying? And is that the reason why Matt was avoiding Lucca; b/c Matt likes him also? What's gonna happen with Sam if Lucca figures out Matt likes him? I guess Sam could meet Jeremy....lol Ok, this is such an awesome story! I love how you have all these twists and turns and you never know what's gonna happen next! Please don't take too long with the next chapter - tomorrow would be good....=)

I just found your story today and I'm hooked! It's GREAT! I just had a comment/question: In chapter three, I thought Matt was at the nursing home to pick Lucca up b/c Lucca's dad asked him to b/c he was stuck at work or something. So why when Lucca finally made it back home at almost eleven pm, his dad told him Matt stopped by and seem troubled? Why wasn't Lucca's dad yelling at him for leaving Matt and not taking the ride? Why did his dad not even mention sending Matt to the nursing home? And why would Lucca call Matt on his house line at almost eleven? Why wouldn't he call him on his cell? I'm not trying to be picky, but if someone called here at almost eleven, I'd be annoyed b/c I'm trying to get my youngest to bed. Plus all my kid's friends call them on their cells? Doesn't Lucca have one? He should have called his father. And why isn't his father worried b/c Lucca should have been home hours ago with Matt? Ok, sorry to nit pick. I do love this story though! I'm curious to find out how Lucca and Sam meet. Sam must be really special if he's gonna replace Matt's place in Lucca's heart. lol

I love your new story KC! Percy sounds pretty funny. I can't believe he tried to go back to apologize to Mr. Too Close. It was Too Close's fault after all! Wouldn't it be funny if Mr. Too Close and Max are one and the same? lol

Totally did not see that one coming. What the fuckity fuck fuck?????? My heart dropped to my stomach when someone other than Chase answered the door. Well, at least Chase didn't pick up some floozy in a bar. But WTF is MORGAN doing there?????? AND WHAT THE FUCK DID HE MEAN "MY HUSBAND"?????????????/ I thought he signed the divorce papers?????? Oh wait, Chase didn't give them to him b/c he felt sorry for him, right? Well, it doesn't seem like Morgan is the type to feel sorry for. From what was written, it seems that Morgan may be taking advantage of Chase. Or maybe Chase is just mind-fucking Coop. Which I would absolutely HATE, b/c you know how I feel about Chase. Oh shit. Now I have major anxiety. WTF is Morgan doing there? And omg, Chase isn't gonna be coming out of the shower too, is he? Omg, Coop...... Ok, now that I'm heartbroken, I did take a few notes so I'd remember to write about it in my review, hehe: Actually, now that I'm looking at them; it's a page and a half. Oh well. lol Starting at the beginning of the chapter: How could Bass be so insensitive? Telling Coop that the relationship between him and Chase couldn't have mattered much? What? Just b/c Coop didn't go parading him in front of them. They're the ones who didn't want to give him another chance, why should Coop put Chase thru their shit? And Coop knew Chase was THE ONE; the one who got away. Him coming back in Coop's life means EVERYTHING! What? Bass didn't think that Coop would fall for him again? Coop never got over him in the first place! And wtf was Coop talking about that he wasn't planning a long life with Chase?! He's in denial if he thinks this! Of course he was planning on Chase being with him forever! HE WALKED OUT ON HIS GODDAMNED MARRIAGE FOR CHASE for fuck's sakes! He just doesn't want to admit it that he would be happy spending the rest of his life with Chase b/c it hurts too much now. So as a defense mechanism, he's denying it. Bass was right about this though: Coop is not responsible for Kyle's happiness. Oh, and I meant to write this my review for the last chapter. Kyle is making sure everyone's going to his announcement thingy on Saturday night. Well, isn't Sat. night the night Cooper is watching CJ? B/c Devon, Liz and Brit are going to Chicago? Is he planning on taking CJ with him? Or did he forget already? Now as far as the whole custody thing goes; Coop was 100 percent correct in not wanting to separate the kids. That would be the absolute worst thing he could do. They should be together even if it means he loses custody. I'm proud of him here; he definitely shows maturity. lol I think Spencer is an ass for thinking that "at least Coop would have one kid", or w/e he was thinking. That's asinine. It's like when those idiot people tell you at least you have other children to the couple who lost a child. How ridiculous is that? No, they shouldn't be separated, and I'm actually surprised at the judge. From how Cooper was explaining him, he seemed like a really old fashioned guy. You would think, number one, he wouldn't look favorably on Devon for working so much and number two, he wouldn't want the kids separated from each other AND from their father. And Kyle is right: even kids Liz's and CJ's age shouldn't be left overnight with a nanny for two to three days every week. How is Devon gonna be there for them? What happens with cheerleading practice? Karate? What about the kids? She has to get her priorities straight. Is she moving just to spite Coop? This may all backfire in her face. The kids are gonna suffer. Not only are they losing their father, but they're losing their mother b/c she'll be working all the time. Not good. Oh, plus Spence has no fucking idea what he's talking about: HE HAS NO KIDS!!!!! Only a parent would know what it feels like to get your kids ripped away from them. Ok, that's all my notes, lol. Sorry if this is so long! I'm just heartbroken now about Chase. I still love him though and I hope this doesn't throw Coop into a tailspin and running thru Dallas into Kyle's arms. I hope Coop doesn't high tail it out of there before hearing an explanation. I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter; shit I gotta wait a whole week? I don't know if I can do that. I think I need some anxiety meds....

You're back!!!!! And with a wonderful chapter! Josh came out and his family was fine with it....Mark is looking forward to moving with his aunt and cousin and ooohhh, I see a set-up in the future! I'm looking forward to them getting back to school. Mark'll meet all sorts of new people, lol. I can't believe that scum of a "father"! Cheating on his wife, making his family miserable. What a shit. I feel so bad for Mark. Mark's father and Tom's father sound like the same type of person. They're both asses. Awesome chapter Night! I can't wait for the next one; hopefully it'll be out sooner.....

Jack, I found your story a week or so ago and I've been devouring each chapter ever since! I finally got to the end and there's no "next chapter" option. This is such a fantastic story! I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the mini vacation up in Canada! I took French in high school (only three years) and am proud to say I remembered a bunch of words! lol French is the most beautiful language.....I really enjoyed trying to translate the words; thank God you already translated otherwise I'd be lost! lol I loved Julien and Loic (is that how its spelled?) I also loved Adrien; he was a pisser! In the previous chapter I was surprised to learn that East Orange is only half an hour from the city. For some reason I thought it was like an hour away. I actually googled it to find out! lol And you're right! I'm from Jersey, the northern part, practically next to the GW, and I really thought East Orange was much further away. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. This is a wonderful story and I can't wait to read more! Now I'm gonna be going thru withdrawals! I hope you update soon; it's been three months you know.....(hint, hint, poke, poke)

Boy these fay sure are busy! I love how you wrote the "fight" scene between Apple and Dixton! And Dixton got hit by a car; serves him right for coming between Apple and his true love! Looking foward to more Mark!

Omg, Coop, Coop, Coop. I just wanna smack him upside his head! He's sabatoging (is that spelled right? I'm too lazy to look it up) his relationship with Chase. Omg, is Chase gonna even stick around to listen to this? Chase is gonna be so upset; he loves Coop so much; it's so apparent in everything he's been doing. Coop's breaking his heart. And what? Does Coop want to break it off with Chase and go be with Kyle? Ok, I like Kyle, I always did. It broke my heart when he told Coop that Coop was his Chase. And now adding fuel to the fire by saying he's been in love with him for so long and he can't pretend to be happy with someone who is available. What will happen now? Shit, I can't believe he said that. And Devon; I'm surprised she asked Bass to watch CJ. She should have asked Cooper. Coop's the father; he should be asked before anyone else. It's bad enough she's planning on whisking them to the Windy City, but she shouldn't try to usurp Coop's place in his kid's lives. Omg, I'm on pins and needles here. What's Chase gonna do? Does Coop want Chase to leave him? He said he didn't deserve to be happy. Why not? He can't control Kyle's feelings. Shit, I don't know. I feel so bad for all three of them. Actually Winston too. For some weird reason. Ok, can't wait for the next chapter Jon!

Omg, I'm still crying. That was so beautiful! I also think Jason's a hoot and would be a great match for Cindy; they have so much love to give; they care so much about other people. So, the sequel isn't happy? I thought Alex and Zach would live happily ever after. I couldn't take reading a sequel where they're not. lol This was the perfect place to end the story. It was wonderful and I'm so glad Zach fought his demons (with Alex and Cindy's help of course) and found love. Awesome, awesome story Greg!

What a smart lady! She purposely got Derek so riled up, ready to flip out and that's when he finally admitted what issue he wanted to resolve. Brilliant work Hamen! I can't wait to read the next chapter and we get to the nitty gritty of this session.
