Chilling ending but a neat little story. You tackled two difficult subjects quite well and managed to keep the whole thing within 1500 words. Well done my friend.

Thanks Tim. this is one of the many things that I know little about but I'm interested enough to find out about the Kingdom of Valdemar.

I loved reading this story Parker. It's so well written with a neat little twist at the end. I would love to have been able to listen to that confession.

She was always surrounded by people and that morning there seemed to be more than usual. It made me wonder if the rumours had already reached the practice rink. Surely not. I had to remain positive. The thought of losing her right at the end, after making it this far, would have broken my heart. I don’t think that I would have been able to carry on. I was choking on my nerves; too much time to think. How could she remain so calm, knowing what she was about to do? I could only imagine w

Gold medal favourite Sun Song-Jung, is prepared to sacrifice Olympic glory for the chance to find love.

No, Daniel to his credit seems to be the only one who's not rushing around trying to bang everything in sight. Good for him but thanks to the dynamic duo, he now needs to be wary of a certain Ginny!

Yes Robbie can count himself lucky with the amount of ammunition that Daniel has on him and even Nicola for that matter. Maybe he won't be so lucky when it comes to Alex, although Robbie seems to think that he has some kind of hold over his tough friend which allows him to push him further than anyone else.

The Principal is a dick; I guess we all know that. Nice chapter. I'm still here, just been a little busy of late.

Thank you @Dahawk I always value your comments. Nathan's claims that he was bullied by Alex don't ring true. He must be wondering why Robbie isn't demanding some answers. We know why, of course!

The one person who seems to be better than Robbie at attracting trouble is Alex and if he moves in, even if only for a couple of days, something is bound to go wrong. He is a bit of a loose cannon but the problem is, now that his older brother is no longer around, Robbie is the only person who he really trusts.

Ha ha, yeah he needs to lose that cloud for sure. We'll see what Sue's up to soon but Robbie has every right to be suspicious of his soon to be new parents. Thanks JP.

Alex is selfish, a bully, and a user. He drinks, takes drugs, and cares little for the law. His abrasive personality and the way that he originally used Robbie has not endeared him to many readers but it would be unfair to blame him entirely. Robbie, for reasons that are unclear, has been drawn to him from the outset and was happy to play along with Alex's games even when he knew where those games were leading. Alex offered Robbie drugs and alcohol, but he didn't force him to take them or spike his drink with them. Robbie knew what he was doing and his only reason why he regrets his little fling is because he's worried about how it would look to Nathan. Alex has a lot of so called friends but when he needed help he went to Robbie's house and when Robbie ran away he called Alex. Despite this obvious trust and rather unique bonding both boys have in the past been reluctant to regard the other as a friend. Staying at Alex's house gave Robbie and us the opportunity to understand why Alex is the way the way that he is. It doesn't absolve him of his crimes but it does give us an explanation that wasn't there before. This is only fiction of course and Alex isn't based on any one particular person but we all know that there are thousands like him all over the world, even in the countries that pretend to be so perfect. Thank you so much for commenting and reading @spikey582

Alex's father should get what he deserves at last. What he didn't deserve was the loyalty of his sons particularly Alex who had been covering up for him for years despite physical and mental abuse. It will be difficult now for Alex to settle into a normal life which he knows nothing about. He's a long way from the other boys at the moment and they will need to recognise that if they want to help him. Thanks @SolarMaxx

Thanks @Wesley8890

Sue's acting very suspicious and Robbie is right to be wary of her. She has something planned but I'm not sure if Nathan's parents are involved in her little plot. All will be revealed soon. Thanks @Butcher56

Yeah, Alex's timing is impeccable. Not only does he manage to spoil their fun but he turns up just before Sue arrives home so he can get some medical attention and a place to stay for a few days. Of course, Alex as you point out, could accidentally or deliberately throw the cat among the pigeons. Robbie should be worried but most likely he will go to Nathan's house have a bit of fun and forget all about it. Thanks @droughtquake

Robbie definitely has problems keeping his mouth shut, and his little joke back-fired on him in the end. You're right to a certain extent because he seems to get a thrill out of pushing Alex as far as he can and enjoys being punished for it, knowing that his friend will only go so far. Alex has a dangerous and unpredictable side to him that Robbie is attracted to although he doesn't understand why. Thans @Sweetlion

Nicely done with a lot of characters. Tom is definitely gay and so of course is Perry.

Well written and very detailed. The only problem I have is with the boy's ages. I'm adding 3 years on when I'm reading, otherwise this is a neat story.

I wasn’t sure why Nathan’s parents decided to bend the house rules for us that night but nothing was said, even though it was well after ten o’clock when we finally ventured downstairs. I was wearing a thin baggy t-shirt that his sister had kindly loaned me to go home in and later that day, Sue came back to their house to give me a ride home. This was highly unusual; Don must have been fairly inebriated the night before, for Sue to have to drive the next day. She had a license but would onl

Thank you for reading and your 'awesome' comment. It means more than people realise.

I try my best to be, Thanks @Sweetlion

Yeah, I think that Andy should have got out of there earlier when he had the opportunity, even if it meant collecting his phone the next day. Thanks for your comment @deville

The boys are moving alone at warp speed here at least as far as sex is concerned. Already exploring bondage when perhaps most teenagers would be jerking off to porn videos. This story is very well written but considering the ages of the protagonists, it's a little unrealistic. They're still in middle school with a sex life that most college kids would envy. It's a little off putting for me to read this. They need to be a couple of years older for me, but as I say, it's so well-written that I have to stay with it.

Yeah, he's messed up alright. Some dark secrets in his past that may explain away some of his crazy stunts.
