They will be seeing Ian sooner than I anticipated. Don't you just love catholic schools lol. Wonder if somehow Alex's mom can lose her job because of that meeting...we all know it had to do with Strawn guess he didn't like being kicked out of the house.

I don't think that is the last that the boys will hear from Mrs. Carson. Something tells me that we will be seeing Ian soon.

Kevin went to easy on those boys and heather is a bitch..she didn't always want to use protection, she was offered all expenses paid plus ten thousand dollars and she didn't even have to keep the baby. Her brothers nearly kill him and she's hitching because they were caught..so am I the only one that sees something wrong here.

Well I'm pretty sure the parents aren't getting their ten thousand dollars.

Ya know for a professor that dude was spectacularly stupid. Like come first date grind the experiment hubby to the son at the dinner table....lmao

Hat can isayyou wrote this chapter well. Like Nephy said this chapter shows the decades age difference that the birthday reveal. But not in the usual way. Take Mark, is he emotionally unstable no I don't think so, is he young yes he is. He is in a relationship that was originally supposed to be hidden. It consisted of daily texts odd calls and one night a week of totally hot sex. Then boom out of the blue he's charged with selling secrets os said relationship to the press, everything is blown up blown out of proportion then he is walked out on. He adrift in a sea of what the fuck just happened. Yeah the E was stupid but he paid for it, scared him too. Now on the other hand you gave the older guy has everything to lose flies off the handle reacts without thinking. He never even thinks of deny the relationship and doesn't do the automatic its done over with statement. It causes him to flub lines he outs himself to people, not your typical reaction. Finds his lover takes him home cares for him while he comes down from the drug then cooks for him. I have to admit the conversation with Alex was brilliant. I like this story you read the blurb, figure you know how it is going to go. But thorn you are anything but your typical reader. Such seemingly short chapters but so many twist and dips in it. Like a shadow its all in the way the reader thinks and how their mind works to what they see in the story. This story is like you psychiatrist. Ink blots everyone sees something different....this is what I see!

LOL what a contradiction. Ben wanted to hide now he's found out he's telling everyone. He finds mark tries to apologize. Does a bang up job apologizing for accusing him of lying then tells him he is lying about taking stuff, smashes his drugs them point blank tells him never to do drugs again and tells him he is taking him home. Which of course needed to be done but helloo subtle much. I think he might have maybe used a softer touch than the named upside head frying pan routine....lmao. Quite funny though. I've come to the conclusion that Ben just doesn't react like what you would a actor or even normal man would in his position.

I think in the back of his mind Ben had been expecting this. This is the perfect example of instinctual reaction. Why actually think. He's caught off guard he knew be didn't say anything so ergo it was Mark. Couldn't of course be anyone out and about the night he was at his parents for dinner and Mark was waiting for him. But I did notice that even erroneously assuming Mark was the person who did it, he never attempted to deny he was in a relationship with Mark. Fight or flight, jumping to conclusion and going off half-cocked on Mark he never denied his relationship with him. Now he just has to do some repair and assisting to apologize to Mark.......Mark better make him work for it too!!

sexy shower scene, but the mental pictures of the greeting in the entrance hall oo-la-la. I loved the comment Mark made at the end about stocking up for the week. Loved this chapter.

In the previous chapters Mark bounced between a confident worldly man to a unsure boy. This chapter he comes across as somewhere in between. The boy next door that everyone wants as a friend that you drop a text to say hi. Then he comes for dinner and you meet the self assured man that makes his own decisions, but has a wicked sexy humour. Yes the hilarious comments to of the doctorate from school of sex is a show of his wicked sense of humour. But for me he showed his true self with his comment of why he wanted from Ben. The fact that he caught Ben off guard was great but between the answer he gave after that nd the beautiful song he wrote. I like that Mark.

I like the way initially Mark was this cocky, worldly self assured person. Yet a few weeks later he's changed to a young hesitant man but still a bit cocky. Grabs your attention you want to find out who the true Mark is. Interesting story grabs you right from the start.

I'm glad that Alex put his foot down about the drugs. Prevailing culture iron not if you don't start on the road it will never be taken. Interesting story.

This chapter hilarious. The hurting units were so funny, for every action their is a reaction. Six might be a few too many in seven hours. Oh well your only teenagers for a short time. The scrambling to get into his shorts to pay the parking fee was so funny. I think Brian visit opened up both mothers eyes maybe more than mike was expecting. A month of chores before they can move in haha. I gotta ask are we going to have the full alphabet in chapters??

LOL that last line is perfect. Guess Mike's mom wasn't as understanding as they thought. But that would explain the grumbling over always missing dinners. Great chapter a little bit of comedy, happiness, introspective thinking and a bit of sadness. I think Mike's mom will let them go and eventually she will be more comfortable with it. If she doesn't get comfortable with her since soon she may lose him. Teenagers will only abide a leash so long when the temptations is within reach all the time.

You realize what Josh forgot was his father's request to sing at the concert. Now he will remember the next morning he forgot but alas it will be to late to do anything. But he also has three mega stars scheduled to sing. Two of which he has sung with before and one that has made the comment be wouldn't like too. So i figure they are going to put their foot down and call him up to sing with them at least one song each. But we will have to wait and see. The incident. In the den shows the two sides of Martha that the family had to deal with. Both Isaac and barbara are right, so and just going willy nilly thru those pictures would be wrong. What I would have done us just put all the pictures they found in a box for Daniel and his sons to sort thru since each picture would mean something different to each of them. Patrick is improving by leaps and bounds he is safe out of his parents eye Andis with friends. Will this continue when they get back to el Paso, I don't know to some extent yes but more slowly. Though I do think Immanuel. Will be a very good encouragement. I enjoyed spent the last two days getting caught up with this story,now I'm sorry to say I have to wait each week to get each chapter,this was the last of the four that I had left to read. So yes very frustrating but at least even though it will be for four different stories at least should get 4 new chapters each week. I've read some of the comments that have been left some of them haven't been complimentary. But after completely reading everything in these four stories I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying. Yes there are mixed up names like calling Carlos, carol that was funny and there have been some incorrect statements. But your writing four stories with interchanging characters that makes it difficult. The fact that yes some of the basis is the same. None of your main characters keep their first love but find their soul mate soon after the first breakup. Their is death, pain happiness and tears in each. But on the other hand each story has its own timeliness the next all its own. In other words I think you are very talented writer to keep four stories with their own characters as well as shared characters straight. Tears both happiness and sorrow, fear, love,hate circulate through your stories. I love them and will look forward to each weeks addition.

I knew something was up with Pats family just couldn't put my finger on it. Sorry to say I was right but thank god he got away. He is safe now and likely to stay that way for now anyway. I have to laugh at that foreman guy, does he really think that those 6 boys are stupid and won't figure his tricks out. Obviously he read the last name and jumped to erroneous conclusions. That is one face I look forward to seeing egg on.

Josh has a way with songs. By the sounds of it he is not the only person with a voice in the family. I'm not sure what to think about Manuel, he seems like a uce guy smart enough to link 2n2 together. I think the fact that that he looks so much like Frank us the worrier for me. One question I do have is will pat be in the same grade as everyone else when they go back to school, he must have missed the last few month and exams in school.

And baby was a bit shocking, hope it's a girl and she twist everyone of the Lopez males around her little finger. The deal with the meeting with the President was actually funny. The guy begs Daniel to run figuring he won't win when he does he doesn't lime it then when he hangs himself and cries to the President. To save him the President says too bad suckered. The fact that the governor never took any party money seems to be a sore spot, since he never took their money they don't have anything to bribe him with lol. They will eventually learn.

George Strait is one of my favourite if not my favourite country singers and that song is my favourite. I've met george when he first started out and have seen him a few times since and he is still the same warm down to earth man all thru the years. I can see him doing exactly what you wrote from walking on stage to setting up a concert for josh and his group to sing with him. Josh's songs were unique and very applicable, each one had a meaning for each group. The last was personal true but very applicable. One thing I have noticed in this story it has been nearly a year from the start of this story, why is their no birthdays?

Martha didn't get what she deserved she should have to pay for what she did, but on the other hand the kids got what they deserved and that is her out of their life. I'm thinking Brandon's nightmares should be completely gone without medication to cover them. One because the mother is out of the picture and two because a lot of anger, anguish were dealt with in that hospital room. I'm surprised that that it wasnt on the news but then since they had closed off that floor they would know exactly who was on it by their names so would know who sold out to the press . I wonder what music class josh took next year, pretty much sure it wasn't glee club. Also think it was funny without blackmail and possible bribes the glee club didn't come out on top lol.

I agree with daddy rick the sing off was fixed and im pretty sure it was by Mr.Edger. Why I have no idea, did it make him feel better to cheat and lie. Is that what he wants to teach his class. Yes I can screw up as a teacher but let's compound it by living and cheating on top...so did he really want to teach at that school again. Even the tv showed the true winner but the competition a week or so later told the true story. Guess his bribes didn't work huh? Why do the political people and the church really continue to underestimate the Governor. How many times will they wear egg on their face before they learn..I'm sorry but by now Texas really must be low on egg product in 1991

I'm glad pat is getting better albeit slowly. I'm surprised he was able to reach a phone to call josh but it must have helped. Wonder how Mr.edger is doing with his glee club.... He not only screwed up his club but going after another teacher made it worse.I don't think the club will make a good showing at this singoff but hopefully they don't give up before they start.

I don't think I want to be Mercedes father, I have a feeling that house is not a happy one right now. Interesting that only josh got the call from pat dr. And none of the others but then josh is the leader of that little group as much as he doesn't want to be. Something is up with pats family. You would think that they would want pat to have everything his friends around him to help him heal not hide him away. Just something doesn't sit right...was he out to his family, nothing was ever said one way or the other.

I love it when Daniel yanks Marthas chain

The last three chapters have been full of tears. You portrayed the press exactly as they are vultures. They bought private footage from one funeral for sympathy they allowed students their 15 minutes of Fame to tear others down. But josh's last statement rings true if a 14 can tell what they did was wrong why couldn't they.
