    I don't see Tyrone as the karate type either, maybe he's just bluffing, we already know he has some serious issues. We'll find out more about those in the next chapter.

    Thank you @Mym8te Yes, it's definitely building up to something but whether it will prove good or bad remains to be seen.

    No back gate I'm afraid, the trades have to use the side entrance, but there's only one entrance/exit to the street. I would like to think that he would be far too immature for Amy's taste.

    Thanks, Chris. You're right, Tyler could have easily avoided Andy if he had wanted to.
  5. “Bleeding ell-fire! Where did this lot come from?” “They have to let us through…tell them to move out of the way, I said.” “I’m not getting out, you bleeding tell em. You’re the one who’s in a rush.” “You’re the boss; it’s your responsibility.” “I’m not the boss.” “Yes, you are.” “So, I’m in charge then?” “Yes.” “Okay, then you to go and talk to them.” “You’re an arse.” “You can’t talk to me like that, I’m your boss.” “When you two are finis
  6. Thank you so much, and thank you for following the story.
  7. Don is desperate to get Robbie home where he has more control over his wayward nephew, but as you rightly point out, the hospital is neutral ground where Robbie should be able to talk without fear of being shouted down. Don will need Robbie's cooperation if he is to avoid any further embarrassment and he won't be overjoyed by Nathan's presence either. With Nathan's support, Robbie could be in a very good position. We'll see in the next chapter. Thanks as always @Magicstate
  8. Thank you, @Parker Owens You know how much I value your opinions and support.
  9. Thank you for your continued support @Rndmrunner Yeah, I'm working on Don, but it's going to take a lot to turn his character around. I guess every story needs a villain and he fits the bill pretty good.
  10. We will see if Don's attitude has changed or not, in the next chapter. Daniel has always been a key player in all of this and Robbie will need him on board. It's far from certain if this will happen at the moment but the fact that Daniel has been talking to Nathan should be encouraging. Maybe Robbie will be able to talk Don and Sue into letting him stay at Nathan's house, a lot will depend on how Don deals with the situation. Thanks for your comment as always.
  11. Thanks @paul.b Robbie definitely needed to get away from Alex and his family. Alex and Luke could be better off out of there too. Maybe that will happen when the police inevitably catch up with Brad. Thanks for following and commenting your encouragement is appreciated.
  12. A classic short story with a Christmas theme, but worth reading all year round.
  13. Thanks, Tim. As you point out, Robbie is in a good position and can use it to his advantage as long as he doesn't allow Don to dictate the terms to him. If he can stand up for himself then Don will have to back down or lose everything that he's worked for. We need to see a more self-confident Robbie and maybe the more self-assured Nathan can add that ingredient and help his boyfriend put Don in his place if that's going to be possible.
  14. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, @SolarMaxxthey are much appreciated. You mention Daniel, who has yet to show his face at the hospital and has pretty much kept out of Robbie's life for the past few weeks. Considering how close they had become this has been disconcerting for Robbie. There a re a few problems that need to be ironed out here before they are able to get back on track.
  15. Thank you for your comment. Don, it seems hasn't won over too many people with his treatment of Robbie and it's difficult to see him being able to redeem himself. We will have to wait and see what happens with Amy's birthday, but Robbie clearly wouldn't miss this unless he was forced to.
  16. I think you may be right about the settlements and I don't see Alex having a great deal of success with his complaint if he bothers at all. He will probably think himself fortunate to have escaped without being charged with anything, even though he didn't do anything wrong if that makes any sense. It's a mindset that comes with being a part of a poor criminal family, used to being hassled and often targeted by the police. There is no way, of course, that Robbie would deliberately choose to attend a funeral over his much-loved little sister's birthday, especially as you point out he hasn't been around for any of her others. Unless he wasn't allowed back to the house for whatever reason, but this is just speculation.
  17. Don's bad timing may be frustrating, but having Nathan present could prove advantageous to Robbie and as you point out, he should insist that he stays. Thanks for your comment.
  18. I've been getting a battering lately for this later than usual chapter but it's better than being ignored, I suppose, so I'll attempt to get back on track now. Robbie made his point with Sue but will he be able to do the same with Don?
  19. Yeah, it would be kind of frustrating. Let's hope that Don has learned his lesson and is able to come to terms with their sexuality. I don't think that anyone would forgive him a second time.
  20. “POLICE! PUT YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!” It was a woman’s voice but there were others with her. I squinted into the flashlight, confused and scared as they barked instructions at us. When the kitchen light came on, I could see four officers, three men and one woman. They were pumped up and looked kitted out for combat as if they had been expecting some kind of armed resistance. The odds were undeniably stacked in their favour; they faced two teenage boys in their underwear and ten-year-old in a
  21. This is a wonderful and well-written story by a talented author.

    I've been looking at this story for ages but until now I've never had the time to read it. Cool start to what I think will be a good read.

    Chapter 2 of 2

    Thank you for your kind words and encouragement @bubby1234 I think that we would all have liked to have found a Charlie or Roger when we were younger. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. There will definitely be more from these boys soon.

    Thanks, Parker. I love it that you're reading the story and it sounds as if you're enjoying it. I'm not sure about 28,000 but it probably seems like that many and someone must have tipped them off. Could be Jazz!
