Carter reminds me of a bog, they can look so beautiful, carpets of moss or grass, flowers. Just multitude shades of green, but it's meant to to be viewed from a distance because close up you see the imperfections. If you step onto it you can sink into who knows what, quicksand, decayed plants or worse. I agree with Jon in that all the messages from every might have made Jon think but I don't think anyone would have cemented in Jons mind what he was finally coming to believe. Now whether it was because Pat was there when Jons mother did her usual number on him or whether he was Kents dad I'm not sure. To me I liked to think that yes Jon had a few close friends and yes he had parents, but the parents were so busy trying to outdoor each other in one upmanship of Jons affections that I relegated them to spoiled younger siblings. But Pat and Lydia were Adults they loved their son unconditionally. Pat took the time to come to Jons home and point blank explain why he was their and told Jon to make up his mind. To me I think that was the determining factor Kents dad had accepted that he Jon was what Kent needed. I loved this story, it was real. My favourite person believe it or not was Jon, I see a lot of Jon in me. I understood how you could overthink yourself out of the best thing in the world because you figure your not good enough for it. But I can also see the stand up guy that is the rock for his sister when she needed him (granted complaining most of the way), the guy that traveled and helped his boyfriend recover from the flu without being asked. Kent was the stronger one in that this basically was all new to him but he was always there to bouy Jon up when needed. These two men were perfect for each other and I really will hate to see them go. I loved the ending a few simple words but the look and the feelings behind them filled the room, you couldn't have asked for a better ending.

Hmm how did falling off a chair and breaking a glass to escape a kiss go to coming home for the night. Something isn't adding up.

What a great story. Moose and Danny make a great couple. Moose's parents needed a kick in the ass, it's sad that the only reason they got a hold of him was to get him to take care of Chad. Best news was that after a rocky start that was the absolute best thing they could have done. Moose made one mistake, he paid many times over for it but silver lining is that he met a great guy who loves him and found a son he didn't know he had. Works out in the end.

I missed my boys and Sonic. I'm glad the doctor is moving ow as long As he can remember the difference between the trio and the dolphins we will be all set. Lmao. I would love to have heard Raji's song. Hmm something is up with that rogue he is manipulating something will be interesting to see how the trio and Sonic deal with it.

LOL its been a long time since high school but I do remember the drama. Football -cheerleading there still going to be at the same games are they not....teen angst lol.

It sucks to be responsible. Milo never asked about Lirons life, he knows about his sister. Because he was jealous about a possible live in boyfriend. Lirons wants Milo but also knows that he just can't drop and leave. They really need to talk BOTH of them. I love your stories, your characters are so real, but unique in their own ways. You always grab me quickly within the first couple of paragraphs and I hate to see the end of the story. this story has been no different I want to see the next chapter but know it will bring me closer to the end. I'm never satisfied I guess great story.

Lirons is in a catch 22 he wants to spend all the time Milo wants together. But he knows that Milo is leaving him behind tomorrow night. He wants Milo but he doesn't want to be hurt, only problem is he's way past that line. Milo needs to think was it just to pass the four days in this city or was it more. Will be interesting to see.

I have a feeling Milo will not be happy, I do understand Lirons thinking though. But I do think by not going to the dressing room he accomplished the opposite effect the and he is now full on Milo's radar lol.

Hmm more of the skeleton has been fleshed out. This is not going to be a simple who dunnit I just hope it doesn't turn deadly. We are not just dealing with a few men that think differently. We are dealing with a group of zealots that are extremely organized, modernized andwill not be stopped and so far they only have a Jason a teenager and two elderly gentlemen stop them.

Now that is a bit of an eye opener. For each inconsequential piece they get the mystery does seem to expand. Curiouser and curiouser.

Very dark chapter.

Amazing the path this has taken. I guess going back to England would. Even safer but maybe not better. If nothing else,semi it should throw team bugatti off the path specially if they went and tracked the call to the hotel. Very intriguing

What a beautiful chapter. I like the insight into the other half of the group. This is becoming a really great story. Everything is happening fast but not so fast that it isn't believable .

Haha that John is a cutie. I wonder if it was more than claustrophobia with Drew.

I like his excitement. I imagine there would be a huge difference between Texas and California and more than just climate wise. I like Preston mom, she's very intuitive and she sounds happy about the changes in Preston.

Good chapter. I got confused in the one paragraph where you were talking about Derricks looks back then and now. I'm guessing this is kinda like a past reminisce of a first meeting from three years in the future. Or is Derrick 18 while the rest of the boys are 15-16. Nothing else like thst was mentioned again so was just wondering.

I like the start to this story. The fact that he was given a choice of who to live with was great. I hope the weed doesn't become a regular habit but as an ice breaker it semi-works lol. Perked my interest that only after a few days of being in California that he's noticed a difference in himself.

Kent is right but I bet he feels like he'll right now. Jon has a lot of thinking to do, but somehow ( hopefully) not as much as he thinks he does. He just needs to go past the first layer of why he should and go straight to the question of whether he does love Kent. But then again we are talking Jon so maybe not that easy lol. I really like Jon but sometimes it takes more effort.

He really wouldn't be that stupid right?.......wait we are thinking Jon though.

Well I'm guessing we know where most of his lack of confidence in himself comes from. I think it was worse on his part than anyone else's. I just hope he calms down and thinks before reacting.

And big step mentally and physically.

Good story. I like moose reminds of a big teddy bear. Both the father and Leo were dicks. Danny should have dropped Leo on the first day, selfish prick animals always no best lol. At least with Danny's dad even though he was a bit of a bigot? He at least was sorta thinking of Danny's welfare. He made up for it by realizing he screwed up almost immediately so he get half a point for that in my book.

Well at least the night is working out better at the end than the start eh? Our of character to boot, this could be interesting.

LOL he was the first Gay president probably the most photographed, walking around with family members how did be expect not to get recognized without having undergone plastic surgery . I'm glad that Sammy ks on the mend it just wouldn't have been right or fair for Jeremy to "lose" both husbands. I feel bad for Josh that must have bit him like a ton of bricks standing across from you father that you buried 18 hears ago and to top it all off knowing that your dad and sisters knew. Great chapter!!!

And the circle is complete. Lol lived with his parents for 18 years and they know to send him to dance or art school neither of which he can do. He lives with his Godfather for three months and he has an application for hospitality and bar management. Just goes to prove its not the time enter its the quality. Bay had one he'll of a ride but I think the arrival at the end was the best and most perfect for him. Hate to see the end of the story but you have such a unique style of writing this one may be done. It can't wait to see the next story.
