I read this chapter last night, but didn't have a chance to review it. So it seems that Yuri betrayed Adam in some way. I hope we find out exactly what he did. And Yuri's friend (Sorry! I forgot his name!) seems nice. I'm glad Adam keeps in touch with him. Now I have two chapters to catch up on!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LBO!!!!! I hope you have an awesome day

Jason's dad surprised me. I really thought he was going to go off on him like his mom will when she finds out he dumped Denise. I also have a feeling he knows about Jason. Mr. P actually was friendly in this chapter. He sounded like he has a heart. Hard to believe. lol Can't wait till Shane wakes up!

Ah, Adam, mistake number one: not telling Codey your real name. That's going to bite him in the ass someday soon, probably! And don't go using Codey to find out more about your father, that's not right. Codey is hurting now, and he needs friends, not people who are going to use him. On another note, I wonder why Seth didn't want Adam to post what he wrote. Stannie, I had to laugh at your response to my review for chapter 9 -- how wrong I am!!! Soooo wrong! lolololol My theories are all for shit!

I'm not sure I agree with Emi. I don't know if I want to meet Yuri. Of course at the time, Yuri was only a thirteen-year-old boy who was supposed to meet another thirteen-year-old boy. So he got cold feet. I'm sure he's matured some since then. But then again, he's never tried to contact Adam again. Is he embarrassed? So I don't know if I want to meet Yuri. Honestly, I think Adam has enough on his plate w/o bringing Yuri into the mix. lol Adam's mom is strong. I would have just given up and let Adam clean up. Just to keep the peace. The dinner conversation was totally odd, especially with Mom there, but you can see just how different autistic people think. It was like talking about the weather. Oh, when Tyde asked Adam if he ever had sex, it was written: "Tyde, have you ever had sex with someone?" my brother suddenly asked. You meant, "Adam, have you...", right?

Wow, this was a pretty emotional chapter. We find out Seth told Sam his biggest secret (are they going to be in competition for Adam/Matt's attention? lol), we find out Adam/Matt's father has a new family, thereby making Codey (love that name!) happy. What a sad thing to have happened to him. He and Adam/Matt have a lot in common. Except Adam/Matt's dad is still alive. And he's Codey's stepdad. The big question though is why the hell did Adam's dad leave in the first place? Was it because he couldn't handle having an autistic son? God forbid something happens now with his new family. God forbid something happens like what happened to Codey's friend. Will he abandon them too because he can't handle it? Ok, on to the next chapter! Oh, and my 'likes' are back! Yay!

'I never thought anyone would like me, because, you know, what is there to like? I am a broken person, not because of what happened to me throughout the years, no, I was born broken. The only way I manage to keep others from discovering I’m made of shattered pieces of human, is to only show them one piece at a time.' That is beautiful writing, Stannie. '...shattered pieces of human...' is just wow, it's just such a great phrase. Sad, but great. =) I agree with your other reviewers: that kiss was, number one, not what I was expecting, and number two, going to complicate things since Sam already admitted to being in love with Adam. She is going to get hurt, I'm sure of it. I'm so curious as to why Seth was crying. I think he likes Adam, like Sam likes Adam. Maybe he's not in love with him, but I think he really likes him. He blushes a lot, he watches him in class... Now, on to the Dad. I didn't realize he still lived in the same town! Not even that, but he lives in the same school district! Does Adam's mom know he's so close. And what's this shit about once loving a man and he hurts you so much, but you forgive him? I think she said that in the last chapter. She's too good of a person. And the beautiful mysterious boy is his stepson, or his real son? No, has to be his stepson, right? Very interesting. lol I'm so excited I can just keep reading!

Damn! I ran out of 'likes', and I only logged on an hour ago! This is the only thing I read so far! lol Anyway...glad to see Seth will be "helping" Adam w/his blog! The ending confused me some. The first sentence about Adam not expecting Tyde to be home, so when he wasn't he wasn't surprised. But then Tyde asked how Adam was. That confused me. lol I meant to respond to your response to my review from last night: We have the same classes every day, except for a science lab, which would be once or twice per week. So the schedule would be set, every day 1st period would be say math, 2nd period history, etc. At least that's how it is in the this school district and where I grew up in Jersey. But since it's not like that in the Netherlands, it makes total sense that you write the story the way you know. As I would too. Ok, on to the next chapter of this hella awesome story!!!

Hmmm, I was reading William's review, and it's interesting what he says. Maybe Adam wants to start with fresh memories -- start his life over. At least maybe before he met Yuri. I'm assuming Yuri was an online friend Adam fell for when they were thirteen. He's been pining after him ever since, which is why he never wants to love again -- because he was too hurt after Yuri just left him hanging. Yeah, moving to the other side of the world, my ass. I hope Tyde is ok. I guess with certain autistic people you never know when they're going to lash out physically. I'm glad Adam wrote Seth back. I'd hate him to leave it like that even though he wasn't thrilled at Seth not reading his blog ever again. Adam tries to cover all his emotions and uncaring acts, but a lot of times they still seep through, and we can see how human he really is. =)

THIRDLY!!!! I'm psyched you're posting this story here!! I don't remember which chapter you left off on at the other site, but I think I'll start from the beginning to refamiliarize myself with it again.

Ah! I had a feeling Seth was the anonymous reader! lol Boy, I'll tell you, Adam can sure improvise! lol Too bad he couldn't improvise his physics test! About that: In chapter three, Adam's first class was history, but in this chapter it was physics. It was pretty funny what Adam did to the older guy who wanted to buy beer. But if he was there for over an hour, and he wanted to get back to his physics class so his teacher could sign that paper, how long is each class? Oh, and 3/4 of the way down the page, after Adam pauses his presentation, it's written: 'Adam, Seth, Luca...' I think you meant, 'Marc, Seth, Luca...' Anyway, another awesome chapter, Stannie!

I would be totally freaking out if I were Adam and Tyde's mom. Tyde hasn't come home yet, and she can't get in contact with him? I'd be calling the hospitals and the police. I find Adam's blogs very interesting. I especially liked this last one. I didn't understand though how believing in a god, heaven, and hell can take a lot of a person's fear away. How does believing in these things take fear away? You're still moving into this unknown afterlife. Unless I totally misunderstood the sentence! lol So where is Adam supposed to be? What country? His mom wrote a note stating why Adam was late to school, and she wrote (9/20), so I'm assuming that means September 20th. Now school's close to getting out for the summer? Just wondering where he's supposed to be. Our schools just got out for the summer, and it's June! lol

Well, Stannie, for being a non-native English speaker with no editor, you're doing an amazing job. I don't think there were any mistakes that got my attention. Now that we know more about Adam's home life, I feel badly for his family. Being a single parent is difficult, especially if the parent isn't receiving any financial or parenting support from the ex. Add to it an autistic child, and the stress just doubles. Tyde must be a functioning autistic if he's driving around looking for his father. And speaking of his father, or 'sperm donor' I should say, what a coward! To leave your family because one child has a disability is unforgivable. Why does Adam keep his friends at arm's length? He doesn't want to know more about them because he doesn't want them knowing about his life? Does his best friend Marc even know about his life? Great chapter, Stannie! On to the next one!

How did I miss this back in November? Great first chapter, Stannie!

I cracked up when Jason almost choked on his drink! So if this teenager can pick up on how he looks at Corey (and she's only seen him that one time, right?), then can his teammates see it also? And Zach? Is that why Zach is always being an asshole, or is that his normal MO? lol Does Jason know that Corey had a crush on him way back when? Great chapter, Lit! As usual, you always leave me wanting more!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! I hope you had an awesome day!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY STELLAR!!!!! Hope you had a great day!

HAPPY BELATED 18th BIRTHDAY ROMAN!!!!! I hope you had an awesome day!

I agree with everyone! Thaw is a great story that I was sad to see end. It had everything in it that a good story should have: romance, love, angst, mystery, sex...hey, was that MY laptop that combusted because of all the heat? Now I just need to get to Frost... This was another great review, Tim!

I just ran out of likes. Like WL, I donated that day to GoFundMe. I was horrified when I heard what happened. Then came anger. Then sadness as I watched the news reports. There was a couple who were planning a wedding, and now their families must make funeral arrangements. One of the boy's moms spoke on TV, and it was just heartbreaking. Then the anger comes back when you think of how senseless this attack was. How someone could have so much hatred inside of him that he would walk into a club shooting is beyond my comprehension. I saw the press conference at the hospital where the majority of the victims went. One of the victims spoke and explained what happened. It was terrifying just listening to him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims, their families, and the survivors. Even though the survivors made it through, emotionally, I am sure they are suffering.

Corey does seem to be letting go of some of the hostility he feels for Jason. Now Corey can be Jason's nursemaid. lol

What an asshat Zach is! Or was! lol Glad Corey finally kicked him to the curb! Why though was Zach jealous? He didn't seem to care before. Maybe because he never saw anyone as a threat to his relationship with Corey? Idk, I'm just glad he's out of the picture.

I've been catching up with this hella awesome story on my phone. This is the first time I've logged on in a few days, so now I can finally review. Jason has grown up and matured. It's too bad it took a bad break-up for him to do it, but at least now he knows what it feels like to be duped like that from someone he thought loved him. Pierre is a good guy, and I'm glad he forgave Jason. I think with Pierre in love with David, it was easier to forgive Jason. It seems like he'll have a long way to go for Corey to ever forgive him though.

I read this on my phone at the beginning of the week, but I kept forgetting to review it. I LOVED this story, Cole! It was heartwarming, sweet, touching, with of course sadness, because Terry and Gillette will never meet again. Gillette at least gave Terry a bit of confidence and a lasting memory of feeling worthwhile and mattering to someone. That's so important when you have low self-esteem. Great story, Cole!

Carl, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Although I'm sitting here crying over Rambo, your son did the right thing. It must have been one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. I hope your arm heals quickly. Use Neosporin, it works wonders. Maybe you need stitches?
