Joey does seem like a really sweet guy. So, I'm thinking he deserves someone like Andy.

It's good to see a good lawyer too, uh?

I like to think that not all principals are jerks.

I'm really glad you are enjoying it

Thank you for your kind words

<p> Who won in 2009? That seems to be the first question. My second question is can I vote for both C James AND Cia?

Thank you for reading and leaving a thoughtful review. Very few people have any knowledge of their relationship or feelings towards members of the same sex. Both in fact are in their first relationship. It is also very early on, so its all new to Andy. Andy also has the added foundation of a loving accepting father and coupled with a solid secured financial future. Kids are not all the same. There are kids all over the country that come out to their peers, even in the south. I think we'll see Andy grow in character before our eyes; because the trials and tribulations he and his friends must face will force them to. Stay tune

I liked this short story Wayne. And congrats on the promotion to Promising Author today!!! This was over due in my opinion.

Thanks Wayne, you have been so much help. Your guidance has been very valuable. As an author yourself, you know so well what these little reviews mean, so much so for a virgin author

Thank you Conner. It means a lot to me that you follow my story and always leave an awesome review. It does make a difference.

Thank you Lisa. I think when every gay boy or girl in the world realizes they are gay, they hope, need their best friend's acceptance. Andy and Joey are lucky Roger is the type of friend he is. Again, thanks for the awesome review

Thanks Tom. I hope things don't turn nasty.

Chapter 9 His Knight “Uh, Roger, umm, this isn’t what it looks like. Uh…” I managed to stutter out. I knew I looked like a bank robber who had a trail of money that lead right to his feet with every shirt and pants pocket stuffed full of stolen money, and asked the cop that stopped him, ‘What money?’ I blushed furiously, while I tried to think of a quick cover story. “Okay, Andy,” began Roger, as he raised his eye brows, and leaned again

One has no control over their dreams. I'm glad in the end it that's all it was, just a dream.

Chapter 9 will be posted soon. I've been thinking of putting the story on hold until after the Holidays. But I thought it would be best to have some input from you the reader. Please let me know what you think about the story going on hold and what you think of the direction the story is headed in. ~Billy~

I would like to thank everyone that has read, left a review, and liked my story. Your response has been way more than I could have imagine. I also want to thank Trevor and Wayne for their awesome help. Without them the story would not have been as liked as it has. I'm considering butting the story on hold until after the holidays. But I'm open to what you think of it. So please let me know your thoughts on the matter and the direction of the story. ~Billy~

Thank you Benji for reading my little story and leaving a wonderful review. This review was timely and needed. I was about to throw my hands up and quit. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Wayne!!! I wish you a wonderful day filled with laughter and joy overflowing. May today be only the first day of the coming year where success and happiness is the order of the day

Thank you Jeff for taking the time to read my story and leaving a review. It means a lot to me.

People say money is the root of all evil, but that's not true. Money itself does nothing. Well I guess it could grow in an interest bearing account or disappear in the stock market. No, money isn't what's evil. It's the want of money, the lust for it, that's evil. And here it seems, lust won out over good intentions.

Well, Roger had to make about 4 trips back and forth. They just cut it too close and forgot about Roger. Times are changing some, and this story is taking place just a couple of months ago. In fact, the story may catch up to real time by Christmas. Sorry about the Kleenex. Thanks for the awesome review!

Thank you Conner

Okay, minor point, they are 15, not 14. Sometimes raw emotions makes you forget about other people and the situation you're in and where you are. Not, just being horny. But scared, hurt, in pain. I think the way I did it, made the story a little better and fun to read. Maybe, I'm wrong. I don't know how much you know about the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky, but there is a lot of kids here that don't have anything modern. The war on poverty never made it here. The area has up to three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, cancer and chronic depression. But everywhere in these hills, there are also young fighters filled with courage and hope. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=6865077#.TuAMz1bnv4U The actually town that this story takes place in is named in the above article. CD's are the norm for music here. Not everyone is poor, but even in cars, most stereos uses cds. I guess I still have 250-350 cds still, don't you? But give Andy a chance to buy stuff for Joey. He did say until he got his own stuff. And who knows what the Banks will do for him too. Also, Andy never said what type of set-up he has now in his bedroom. Only what he wasn't using anymore. As for Andy having his own room, as a Judge, Andy's father travels a lot. The Banks were like a second family. And if you remember, Andy went through a very bad time after his mother died and wanted his space. By saying he was familiar with the room, doesn't mean he always slept in it. But I have a feeling he'll want to now I hope I answered your questions. Thanks for taking the time to read and leave a review. It means a lot to me.

Thanks Wayne. Anything worth anything is worth going slow and savoring it. I won't drag it out, but there still a lot to come. Thanks for the review and all the help!

Chapter 8 New Beginnings Joey and I slid into Mr. Banks’ truck for the ride home from the hospital. Joey got in the front seat, and I in the back. It wasn’t unusual for Uncle Steve to fill in when dad had something else going on. For as long as I can remember, I’ve called Roger’s dad Uncle Steve and his mom Aunt Alice. However, just as I had adopted the Banks, Roger called my dad Uncle Sam. I used to laugh at dad being called that when I found
