Omg, that last line was great! Chase - what an ass. And what was in the box; a ring? From a guy who's still married to a "nobody". Oh wait, I bet Chase took these two or three days and ran back to Cali to sign those papers. So now he thinks everything's gonna be ok w/Coop again b/c now he's officially divorced. Ha, again; what an ass. And I can't believe Coop went to Kyle's, of all places! AND THEN THEY SLEPT TOGETHER; TWICE!! As if once wasn't bad enough. At least Kyle sees it for what it is and he's not under any fairytale pretenses (does that even make sense?) that Coop's back for good. He knows better and Coop knows better. So why did Coop get so annoyed with Kyle when Kyle told him the way it was? Coop should have known that. And you know, I was actually feeling sorry for Coop. He's all set in his new house. The house he thought he'd be sharing with Chase. He's all alone and he never thought he'd be all alone again. That's pretty sad. But he did jump right back into Chase's arms, as he realized. Idk; I keep on jumping the fence with Chase. I loved him when they were in school. Hated him when I found out he left Coop high and dry, loved him when he came back to claim his undying and never-ending love, hated him when he left for the second time after betraying Coop AGAIN with the fact that HE IS A MARRIED MAN, back to loving him since he's trying to apologize to Coop with flowers and a box (ring?). So I'm all over the place with him. Too bad he didn't go for me; I probably woulda let him back in......lol This story just keeps getting better and better. I love the flashbacks b/c I really want to know what happened between freshman year with Chase and twenty years later. Awesome story Jon!

Hahaha, show up to class w/o a gun and you get an A! Omg, I spewed my coffee all over my keyboard, thank you very much! God you're so funny! I was cracking up the whole chapter. Well, not when I found out Eric was playing Logan. I was actually feeling a bit sorry for him. So, did he even like Logan to begin with? And wait, that "breath of fresh air" line hunky Steve used on Logan, wasn't that the same line Eric used on him his second day of school? He was a "breath of fresh air"? Hmmmmm I'm hoping Steve is not in on all this betrayal and social hierarchy shit. I can tell Steve's a player b/c he didn't care that Logan already had a b/f. But of course on the second day I'm sure he already knew that they had broken up. I'm sure gossip like that spreads like wildfire. So.....the pictures. Both sets, hahah. Eric now knows Logan was blackmailing Tori. I wonder if he felt betrayed? And now Logan is gonna let loose those pics to everyone BEFORE homecoming? So none of those "chosen" hunks would want to be her date then anyway. She's gonna get her comeuppance! lol Oh, to be a fly on the wall......

Wow, Cam is so Idk, insightful? He's so deep. I feel so stupid; I had to re-read a few sentences here and there to fully understand what he was talking about! lol If Max wanted to continue the conversation, he shouldn't have acted like a baby and gotten up to leave. He wanted Cam to stop him and Cam didn't, so Max got upset. He should have stayed and not acted like a baby even though Cam was annoying him. I must admit, I do like the "new and improved" relationship between Max and Sam. Although Sam is telling Max when he finds that special someone, it will be better for him, I think Sam's gonna be really jealous, like he was when he saw Max and Xander. Anyway, great chapter! Thanks for updating!

I should have seen this coming. Given all of Derek's homophobic comments in the past. But....I guess I was holding out hope that since it was HIS BEST FRIEND, he would make an exception and not act like the total f**king prick he was. I shouldn't feel disappointed, but I do. I am so disappointed in Derek. I'm not exactly sure why he was crying so much. I know he was angry seeing Charlie and Travis, after all, he hates gay people for whatever asinine and uneducated reason. But the tears conveys sadness. Was he upset he had to find out this way? Was he upset b/c Charlie didn't tell him? And of course Charlie didn't tell him; ha, he knew what his reaction would be. Was he upset b/c he wanted it to be him and not Travis? Hmmm, don't think that's it. Idk, maybe deep, deep down in the recesses of his subconscience, he wants it to be him and not Travis, and his subconscience pushes all gay thoughts as far back in his mind that they will go. Maybe his homophobia is so out there b/c deep down inside he fears this about himself. Ok, enough of my stupid psych 101, I feel bad for him b/c he may be ruining his most important relationship he's ever had. I hope his mother talks a blue streak of how disappointed she is in him and maybe, just maybe, he'll think that he may have overreacted. Well, knowing Derek, doubtful. Omg, I was just thinking: Andrew should stop by and talk some sense into Derek too! lol I'm just glad Charlie has Travis and Rebecca to lean on; he's gonna need them now that he thinks he lost his best friend. Anyway, awesome two chapters! Thanks for posting TWICE this week!

Adam, I've been reading this story on and off for weeks now. I really should have been finished with it awhile ago, but there werer so many emotional chapters I had to stop reading for awhile. Every time Andy pushed Matt away I wanted to jump through the computer and smack him upside his head! He just couldn't see what he was doing. The second to last chapter when Andy and Matt finally have it out on the beach, wow. Luckily I had a full box of Kleenex; I needed them! What an emotional chapter. I don't even wanna think about it; I start tearing up. I know Andy has had so many experiences in college with other guys. It's amazing to me that he never really fell for them. Besides the baseball player (shit, sorry, I forgot his name! He was too many chapters ago! lol). Especially Brad. Maybe it's just girls, but being so intimate with someone not once, but twice and Brad being so sweet and all, I woulda fell head over heels! Angie is my hero. She is f**king incredible. I can't think of any girl who would encourage her b/f, the boy she's madly in love with, to be with someone else. Especially since she knows this someone else is the boy her b/f has been in love with for years. I know she wouldn't want him being with just anybody; I know it would be Matt or no one. But to encourage him to be with Matt, knowing how in love with him he is, she is one strong and brave girl. I'm so proud of Matt too. He needed to "bring out the demons/monsters" of Andy's soul in order for the healing to begin. Andy keeps questioning Matt's sexuality, asking him about other guys. Matt's not gay; he's just gay for Andy. lol Anyway, I just wanted to drop a line to let you know this is one of the best stories I have ever read. On any site, from any book (I used to read books way back before the computer age! hahah) Hands down, this is one of the best. You are an amazing author who really knows how to convey deep emotions. I basically spent the whole thirty-one chapters crying my eyes out, so yeah, you're wonderful. I can't wait to read more from you. Don't get me wrong: I hope this story is far from over! I look forward to seeing how Andy does in school. He better not be messing around with anyone! Boy or girl! lol Anyway, great job and it's just an awesome story!

Hope you enjoyed that chapter? How can you say that? lol That was a horrible chapter! Jesus, now Coop realizes he left Devon for what? For nothing! Chase is married! If he has unsigned divorce papers, HE'S STILL MARRIED! And when exactly was he planning on telling Coop this oh so teeny fact?????? Coop will never trust him again. God, I don't know how to feel. I feel bad for Coop b/c he probably feels like he just got punched in the gut, never mind the jaw. And Chase may be feeling that he's never going to be able to make this right. Wow. But....onto the whole child custody thing. I don't necessarily believe in separating the siblings. I think divorce is traumatic enough for them losing that one parent (physically being in the house) I don't think they should be separated from each other. And let me tell you: I am 100 percent sure Devon is in no way, shape or form going to let Cooper take CJ. No way. And I think it would be rotten to make CJ choose between his mom and dad. That's not fair to do to a thirteen year old. And I think some states have age requirements on the kids. Here in Connecticut, I believe it's fourteen where a child can choose where he/she wants to live. Not 100 percent sure though...Anyway, it's not fair to CJ and I think if Coop tries to get custody of CJ, it's going to make his divorce even messier. As if Coop doesn't have enough on his plate, now he has to stress out over what Chase did.

So the bitch had gastric bypass? Or went to a fat camp? How the hell did Taylor ever find this out? How will all her minions react to this bit of info if they ever find out? And most important: how will Eric react when he finds out Logan went behind his back to get incriminating information on his sister? Inquiring minds (well, ok, mine) want to know dammit! And never mind those Maddens; Logan better get some pumped up kicks so he can haul ass back to SoHo!

Wow, what a chapter! It was worth wating two weeks for! Derek just floors me with this asinine comments! Where does he come up with shit like this? I have a sinking feeling it has to do with his dad. Was he having sort of like a flashback when Rebecca kept mentioning flinching. Omg, did his dad abuse him or say hateful things about gay people or accusing young Derek of being gay and every time he did that, Derek would flinch? And Derek hid it deep in the recesses of his mind his entire life. Well, at least what, eleven years of it. Jeez, I hope I'm wrong. Ok, so what's Luke's problem? Does he think he figured Charlie out? And wtf does Charlie think he needs mace for or knives for or combat gear to defend himself. Holy shit, he's not thinking of coming out and having to defend himself against who, the homophobes in the school? Jesus... I'm so intrigued; I can't wait till next Tuesday. And wait, Derek didn't even figure anything out yet... I though of Beast from Glee every time the lady in the combat store was mentioned! lol Ok, my anxious wait till next Tuesday starts now.....

Omg, PictureGate - hysterical! And The Great Lexus Chainsaw Massacre in Texas! Love the malebot; too bad Logan had to sell himself out for this malebot. So now Logan's in with the in crowd. You know, I still don't trust Tori. I knew she was setting Logan up from the beginning. He was still too trusting. She's gonna pull some other shit, I know it. And poor Taylor. I bet Tori makes it all about Logan and how it's his fault. The bitch. I'm glad Logan's having a good time with Eric. I just wished he liked Eric as much as Eric likes him. And hopefully Eric will NEVER see those blackmail pics; I think that would crush him. Oh, I noticed two little typos: fillet minion is filet mignon and 'we' of course is 'oui'. Anyway...awesome chapter as usual!

I think Devon's taking this way too calmly. I think the kids will show more emotion as time goes on. I know Liz was pretty emotional, but I think both kids will be crying on and off for quite sometime. The problem w./Coop is: he doesn't think before he does. He doesn't think of the consequences; he just does. He didn't think at all when he met w/Devon in the restaurant. And I know that was last chapter, but why the hell would he want to meet her so far from home? And she seems so fine with everything. Why wasn't she a wreck driving home? Why was she not a wreck while making dinner?Idk, I would think she would be more devastated than this. Cooper didn't think of the ramifications of divorce. He doesn't get to stay in his beautiful house that he loves, he doesn't get to tuck his kids in each night. He won't even SEE his kids every night. He never thought of these things. He just acted. I do feel glad that Chase seems like he's on the up and up w/Cooper. He's here to stay and has never stopped loving Cooper. So of course the romantic in me is jumping for joy! lol But I can also see why Kyle is so upset; Coop wouldn't take HIM back, but as soon as Chase shows up, Coop doesn't think twice. Anyway, it was an awesome chapter, as usual. Looking forward to more!

Wow, am I disappointed in Logan! He would be willing to "screw over" Eric? Jeez, I thought Logan was a good guy! And actually, I kinda felt, Idk, dirty? Not sure it that's the right word, but after the bj, they kinda got up and left. Still can't believe Logan filmed it! It seemed like wham, bam, thank you ma'am, know what I mean? And how come Eric didn't mention to Logan again, that he could stay over? I thought Eric was into him. It was just weird. Like Idk, I got the feeling that on Monday, Eric will be a little distant towards Logan. It just didn't seem lovey, dovey like two boys who are into each other would act. Besides that, I got great laughs along the way! Eric's on Logan's to-do list or his wank bank! lol And boner-tape, OMG, what an awesome invention! hahah And a swimming pool filled with Perrier! Shit you are funny! I noticed one error though: It's not Dunny and Burke; it's Dooney and Burke. I only know this b/c a friend of mine has one! And yes, they are awesome pocketbooks! I did enjoy the chapter. I just hope they didn't rush into this bj thing and they won't be like avoiding each other on Monday. Looking foward to the next chapter! P.S. when my kid throws a party, I take all his friend's keys. They know they are all stayin' over.

Hey Jon....so the band-aid approach worked out great, dontcha think? I feel bad for Devon. Been there, done that. I'm amazed she stayed to drink TWO bottles of wine. I saw her as the type who'd take off right away. I also didn't like when they left the restaurant, they're joking about who's gonna take who to the cleaners. I'm sorry, but after twenty years of marriage and KIDS, when you find out your husband is leaving you, coincidentally after his long-lost love comes back, there is no joking around. My heart is breaking for these kids though. Their whole world is gonna come crashing down on them, and yes, I think they'll hate their father for awhile. Maybe when they're older they'll understand why he did it. As much as I'm thrilled that Chase is back, (you know how much I love Chase! ), I'm also wary, b/c what happens if he decides to book again and leave Coop all over again? I don't think Cooper will be able to handle it a second time. Also, that scene in Kyle's office - ouch! Cooper's rage was uncalled for. Kyle was just trying to be a friend, tell him like he thought it was, and Coop just laid into him. Really insulting yelling at him that it would never be Kyle; that he would never choose Kyle. That wasn't right. All his friends are going to say the same thing. After all, didn't they help pick up all the pieces of Coop's broken heart the FIRST time Chase left him? They are not going to be thrilled he's back and wrecking havoc again. Hey, they may even have an "Chase" intervention! lol Awesome chapter; I definitely needed my Kleenex! Looking forward to the next one!

Holy shit Jon! Can I call you Jon? I feel like we should be on a first name basis, I write you so much! lol Anyway, omg, I was cracking up the whole chapter; you certainly have a fantastic sense of humor! Medusa! lol And it's Eric's sister, omg. AND she practically threw a brick at his "old jalopy" Lexus. Ha, I'll take his "old jalopy" Lexus any day! haha It says in the intro section to the story that it's complete, but I'm hoping by your closing sentence you have way more to write. I just don't want you to write so much about Logan and forget all about Coop....and Chase (sniff, sniff) Anyway, awesome story; can't wait to read more!

I was up half the night crying. Shit, I feel like Chase broke up with ME! Ridiculous! I had to keep reminding myself this is fiction; it's just a story. I read your response to my review. I know, I know, I was being stupid. Of course they couldn't last. But wait, Sebastian is still w/Brittany; they lasted twenty years, why couldn't Coop and Chase? See, they could have, J, you ruined it! They could have been happy, never mind THEM, I could have been happy!!! For twenty years!!!!! Hmpf. I want my "happily ever after" J....... Oh, btw: I'm STILL FREAKING waiting for the next chapter!

Now I'm crying and it's the bad crying. Bad author! The whole chapter I'm looking down going where the f**k is Chase????? Why isn't Chase in here? Why the f**k is Coop married to Devon???? Wtf is going on???? Then I read that Chase that motherf**ker, broke Coop's heart? After all Coop went through mentally to be with and give his heart and soul to him, he breaks his heart. Omg, how can you leave it like that? After twenty years, not a word, until now? Omg, you gotta update.....fast.....did you update yet? I'm still waiting....... Goddamn Chase, and to think I fell in love with the f**ker too....

Ok, I'm in tears, but they're happy tears! I'm so glad Coop made the leap and trusted his heart to take a chance with Chase. I kind of saw Cooper's point when he found out Chase may go to the Olympics, but I kept thinking, if you love the guy, go with him. Whereever he's training, they'll be schools. Transfer. Follow you heart. This was an amazing story, I saw you updated a few days ago, but I just kept putting it off b/c I knew it was the end. Every time you updated, I'd be so excited to see the new names added to the list. But once Coop met Chase, every time I looked, I'd get more and more upset, thinking wtf are you doing Coop? Chase is the real deal. But then I thought that about Kyle too....so yeah. But I am sad that this incredible story (one of the best on any site I've read) is over. I actually don't want to find out about them twenty years from now (of course I'm gonna read it), but I'm a romantic; I don't want Coop and Chase to ever break up and to be madly in love forever. Stupid I know. So I'm reluctant to find out if they made it. But of course I will read it b/c I love those guys and most importantly, b/c YOU wrote it. Being the amazing author you are, how can I pass up an opportunity to read more of your work? Ok, on to the sequel.....

Omg, this chapter was so sad. I wanted Sam to realize with that one kiss that Max was right and he was in love with him. But of course then all the angst in the story would be gone and what would be the fun of that? lol I feel so sorry for Max. Since Sam is never going to love him the way he deserves to be loved, he needs to come to terms with that and try to move on. Not by going to bars and having GASP! UNPROTECTED SEX, but by doing it in a safe way. It's too bad him and Zander are through; Zander was really good to Max. But Max was too hung up on Sam. He needs to move on. Awesome chapter as usual! It totally made my day seeing that it was updated!

You are such a friggen tease Ham!!!!!! Jesus, Derek STILL hasn't figured it out yet and now we have to wait ONE MORE WEEK.....the suspense is killing me!!!!! He is so obtuse it's unbelievable! Who was it, a few chapters back, Andrew, I forgot his name, the quiet basketball player: his whole speech to Derek, TRAVIS' own speech to Derek, Charlie's reactions to Travis, Jesus, hit that boy over the head with a frying pan, wouldya? Then maybe he'll see what's right in front of him. lol Ok, anxiously awaiting NEXT TUESDAY.........

I don't know what rock I just crawled out of, but I just noticed this story updated today! I had to catch up on like three chapters when I realized you updated first in DECEMBER! And then again in MARCH! Where have I been????? lol I'm really sad to see this story end. Zeek and Jake were awesome characters. I was saddened to hear about the accident. After all Zeek had gone through; he was finally able to see, and then BAM, tragedy happened again. I will admit thought that I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to read about Zeek's initial "sight" of Jake. I thought it was a bit anti-climatic. I would have liked to read about the first time (after the surgery) Zeek sees Jake and their reactions. You know, it woulda been another hankie moment. At any rate, this was an awesome story! You are a fabulous story-teller and I can't wait for your updates on Indiana Summer and Max and Josh.

Ahh, that was a sweet chapter! Derek CAN be nice; imagine that lol So Charlie's planning on wearing something different; hmmmmm, can't wait to see Derek's reaction when he sees Travis there! lol (Travis is the friend going w/Becca, right?) Looking foward to the next chapter!

Ok, I tried to review again, but noticed you can only review once for a chapter. Bummer. I just wanted to add for the last chapter, that how could Mitchell, being part of the faculty, how could he serve wine to a minor who is taking his alcohol awareness class? And he let Coop DRIVE BACK TO THE DORM after all that booze. Mitchell was definitely not acting like a responsible adult.

Omg, you don't know how proud of Cooper I am! He has really grown up and matured in this chapter. The old Coop (not even two weeks ago) would have jumped (pardon the pun, hahah) at the chance to be w/Mitchell. But the new and improved Coop found his willpower and said no. Finally! lol See what love does? Now Cooper realizes his feelings for Chase and he realizes he only wants to be with Chase and no one else. Maybe he never really loved Kyle as much as he thought he did. Idk....he was still able to screw around on Kyle so easily. Maybe he just learned his lesson w/Kyle and doesn't want to make the same mistake twice. He has strong feelings (we now know he loves him) for Chase and he doesn't want to f**k that up. I'm so proud of him. This was a great chapter, thank you Jonothan for not making me want to smack Coop in this chapter! Besides, I think Rusty did more than I would ever do. And that reminds me; poor Kyle, being blackmailed by Rusty to do as he wishes. That really sucks and screws w/your self-esteem. I feel really bad for Kyle. Anyway, awesome chapter; I LOVE Chase! lol One question though: at the beginning of the chapter is the "specimen"'s measurements and such. How would Coop know the size of his you-know-what if he didn't see it? Just curious.....

I ran out of Kleenex; I hope you're happy! I've been reading this since chapter one, but I really needed to comment on this chapter. I am so upset; I spent the whole chapter crying over how Andy is acting. He's the one making the big deal out of what happened. His stupid dream wasn't even real and he's projecting all his fears and anxieties on Matt and blaming him for changing, when Andy's the one who changed. Andy's the one who can't look at himself in the mirror; who feels guilty and defective. Matt's just acting like he always did. I really hope they can work this out. They are both miserable and suffering and they both want their best friend back more than anything. You know, no matter how much Matt thought he was "helping" Andy and giving Andy what he wanted that night, it was a big mistake. They can never take it back, and it seems they can't get past that night. They're both carrying feelings from that night, but it's Andy who's ruining his relationship w/Matt. He keeps pushing Matt away, just waiting for Matt to dump him. How can Andy not know that Matt could never do that? How could he not know that Matt is miserable without his best friend? How can Andy not know that Matt would never look at him with disgust? Andy really needs to speak to someone, a therapist maybe, before he totally throws away this relationship. Anyway, gotta buy more Kleenex......and continue reading. This is an awesome story and I was hooked from the first line! You're an amazing author Adam!

Yeah, should have been obvious Derek, but you're still so self-centered you can't see anything beyond your own "greatness". And what a friggen' homophobe he is. Jesus, poor Charlie can't even tell his best friend his most important "secret" that other people already know. And speaking of Charlie, Oh My Freakin' God; Travis is his boyfriend!!!!! Hahahah, when has he had time to sneak away from Derek long enough to SPEAK to Travis, much less cultivate a relationship with him? lol Oh shit, wait until Saturday when Derek meets up with Becca and finds Charlie with none other than Travis! Omg, he's gonna shit a brick! And Travis is really being nice to Derek considering. He must really want to smack him upside his pompous head! I know I do! lol Great chapter; I saw it posted this morning, but was procrastinating reading it b/c I knew once I finished, I'd have to wait a whole other week.....AND I DON'T WANNA!!!! I hate waiting.....great job Hamen! Now I wait anxiously for next Tuesday.....

Holy f**k! Coop has some problems holding his liquor! Shit; he had to have his stomach pumped? Jesus Christ. What a buzz-kill, lol. Although it's no laughing matter. On the bright side, this chapter was really funny! I loved Cooper describing Chase like a horny, warm teddy bear! And he wanted to celebrate his B+ in class with an A+ in the ass, omg that was hysterical! I spewed my ice tea all over the keyboard! First when I was reading the part where Sebastian was introducing Devon to Coop, and he mentioned she was Britney's little, I thought he was making fun of the fact that she's a short. But then I realized that Britney is like her mentor, I guess, in the sorority. My oldest joined ZBT, and he talks about his Big all the time. Just sounds so silly...bigs, littles,.. I'm really glad Chase feels the same way towards Coop. I think they're great together. I'm just really sorry that the whole Spencer/Kyle debacle had to take place. I know the guy code and yes it was stupid what they did, but Idk, it happened only once. I could see being livid if say Spence and Kyle were in a relationship, but it was one time only. I think I'd be more upset that Kyle's still with that f**ker Rusty. I also believe that really good friends are hard to find, and Coop should really think about this some more. Not that Spencer would still want to be friends, even though he apologized; Coop kinda did the same thing, sort of. Even though Chase was never Spencer's ex, or anything to him except a crush. Anyway, I'm rambling, sorry. I really hope Coop opens his eyes and tries to curtail his drinking. I bet Tye's gonna have a fit he wound up in the hospital. Are they even supposed to be drinking during the season? Anyway, awesome chapter as usual! This is like one of my top three stories! You're amazing Jonothan!
