    So am I! Thank you!

    I'm reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I have also halfway finished and then put on hold King Rat by China Mieville, Mr. Shivers by Robert Jackson Bennett, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury and, on audio book, A Dance With Dragons by George R. R. Martin. As you can see, I am also unable to read just one book at a time.

    You're also going to enjoy the short story I've written about Alan, I think. And the one I have for Matt, probably.

    Yeah, I feel sorry for Nick. I've sort of been in his position. When I was fifteen, I had an older boyfriend. He didn't want to have sex because I was under 16. I was the one who kept pushing for it. He gave in after just a month, though.

    When I was in school, that kind of thing happened during spin the bottle. *shrug* Boys didn't often kiss each other, but girls certainly did. I always find it weird how, in movies and TV-shows where they play spin the bottle, it never ever lands on a person of the same sex. It's just so improbable. As for Alan, you're gonna love the short story I have written about him. I'll be posting it once I've finished posting the novel, as it contains spoilers.
  6. Thorn Wilde
    Lol! Yes, he is.

    I'm unclean, a libertine, and every time you vent your spleen I seem to lose the power of speech. You're slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen. You've never seen the lonely me at all. Chapter Eleven: Without You I'm Nothing

    CHAPTER ELEVEN Second Sight Dave lay back on the bed with his head in Nick’s lap, listening to the music from the stereo. Nick combed through his hair with his fingers and stroked his cheek, and Dave sighed happily, closing his eyes. It was a Thursday afternoon in late January and they were in Dave’s room, on his bed. His parents wouldn’t be home until late. Nick shifted a bit under him, and then his lips came down to graze his forehead. Dave smiled and lifted his hand up to Ni

    I was considering including Craig's dad in this scenario, but since he's not important to the rest of the story I figured it would be one too many new characters. So, I left him out. Maybe he's out with a flu, or maybe he's gone to Spain. Who knows. Glad you're still enjoying the story! Next chapter will be up later today.

    I like writing complicated families, I think, probably because my own is fairly messy. Put it this way, I have four brothers and I'm only related to two of them. Though, interestingly, my broken family is probably more functional than Dave or Nick's. Thanks for still reading!
  11. Thorn Wilde
    Dave's dad is a very... difficult person. He will not be happy. And Alan is likely to cause problems, whether Nick is right about him or not. Rampant homophobia will do that... Thanks for still reading! <3
  12. Thorn Wilde
    Yeah, poor Mellie. Not so easy being her. It would probably have been a bigger problem, had Mel known herself how she and Nick were connected, but neither of them knew until they met and figured it out. In time, Mel will come to love Nick as a friend instead, and the three of them will be thick as thieves, I promise you that.

    Patience comes to the ugly, not me. Laughter comes to the lucky, not me. People in my head that won't stop talking, nothing in my dream that isn't creepy crawling. Walking in the park and I think that I'm falling, swimming in the sea and I think I'll... You guessed it. Chapter Ten: Waiting for the Son of Man is up! And I've made cover art!
  14. Thorn Wilde
    That's in chapter 4. Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I'm actually quite overwhelmed with the reception this story has received... Never felt this popular before, lol!

    I didn't mean that she was to start taking blockers at 9, they don't do that anyway, I know. I meant at the onset of puberty. As physically male, that would be around age 12 or 13, possibly 14 if 'he' was a little bit slow. But thanks for the link and the info.

    Huh, I don't know, really... The editor just kind of seems to preserve the formatting when I paste it in, didn't occur to me that that might screw with the code of the site... However, you should be able to zoom in with your browser to make text larger. On my mac, I can press command +, and it zooms in. If you're on a PC, the same might be possible with ctrl + or something, but I'm not sure. Oh, don't worry! When did teenaged boys ever rush into anything oh wait hang on nevermind.... Glad you're still reading and enjoying the story. Makes me very happy!
  17. Thorn Wilde
    Alan is always a problem, the stubborn git. Thanks for reading!
  18. Thorn Wilde
    Dave's got a good head on his shoulders. He can be surprisingly rational. Glad you're still reading!
  19. Thorn Wilde
    I thought so. Nick's music is a very important part of his personality. It's important that Dave wants to take part in that. I worried a bit that the bracelet was a bit of a cliché, but I think that turned out well, too. Thanks for commenting!
  20. Thorn Wilde
    Well, I update daily. Glad to see you back! <3
  21. Thorn Wilde
    I don't think Nick was expecting to get the stuffing beaten out of him when he confronted Craig the first time around. That kind of experience can be very intimidating. Perhaps you should read up a bit on the behavioural patterns of abuse victims, before you start blaming them for keeping quiet...? I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Hope you'll keep reading.

    Linda, you mean? Nah, don't worry about her. She's all bark and no bite! I'm glad you're enjoying the story! It's very gratifying to hear. Hope you'll enjoy the rest as much. Thank you for commenting!

    CHAPTER TEN Waiting For the Son of Man December arrived with wind and rain, temperatures dropping to a couple of degrees above freezing during the day, though the wind chill made it feel colder and in the mornings the grass would be covered in frost and the puddles would be iced over. Nick and Dave spent time together any chance they got, mostly at Nick’s house. At school, where they could be seen, they behaved the way they always had, occasionally amusing themselves by staging a f

    Mel is a sweetheart. She definitely deserves to be loved. As for Dave and Nick coming out, let's just say that day will not be pretty.
  25. Thorn Wilde
    Dave is pretty special. Every time I write him, I have to check myself and ask, could a 16-year-old really act like this? I've worked hard not to make a Gary-Stu out of him... In the end, though, I think Dave is just really down to Earth and likes taking care of people. He definitely has a bit of a hero complex going on, though. Nick's been through a lot in his short life, and there's more to come. That would make anyone timid. But I think if anyone's capable of getting him out of his shell, it's dependable Dave. Thanks for reviewing once again! <3
