  1. So....Jack isn't the perfect person after all...he has allowed his own demons to surface. He has chinks in his armor too! Mum is acting mysteriously in Joey's eyes, but she really is trying to make a good memory with him. Hope it works!
  2. I do understand about most male rapes not being reported. And, truthfully, I don't see Dean going to the police either. I said he needs to go, which is true, but we'll have to see if he even talks to Joey. I hope he does and I hope Joey intervenes.

    Chapter 17

    Another wonderfully warm and gritty chapter. For those of us of a certain age who grew up as children of people who lived through the time period of the story - and we didn't have a whole lot more in material things either - it is a walk down memory lane. I love it! And I love your writing!

    Chapter 8

    This seems to be a natural progression in the story: the kids will come to live with Hunter and Dane. It must makes sense. Too sad that Belle has to die though.
  5. Dean needs to go to the police himself! He has the proof of rape with his physical condition. Jack and Joey are in for more growth. I'm looking forward, as always, to the next posting!!
  6. Oh the web you have woven...love it! More intrigue!
  7. First of all, I love nearly all you have written - I just am not as big on stories about other life forms (as I wrote to you before)...but even that was very well written. Now, as to this chapter: in that Brandon was able to process so quickly is amazing, but with all the labels out there, he doesn't have to assume that he is either gay or bi, does he? He loves Dana/Dane as a person - not as a sexual "choice". He loves the person and wants to continue the relationship with its changes. Isn't that what marriage is all about: growing and changing with each other through the years and deciding to be with one another as a daily commitment? Your writing is excellent as usual. Tony
  8. I love this approach with the different POV's... It really gives insight into each of the characters. I'm glad "Mum" was so open to listening to Jack - also, that Joey has said he was going to arrange some help. I do love these characters and the story! Tony

    Home Truths

    Your writing is so raw and real! You have an uncanny ability to capture teen angst in such a unique way! And the plot is so intriguing! I can't wait for the next posting!
  10. And here we go. Joey needs some professional help - not with alcohol but with a good counselor/therapist! I'm so glad to see the story continue!
  11. Not so much an ending as a stopping point....but I like that it portends more to come! Another wonderful story that has kept me looking forward to each posting!
  12. So much action in this chapter. I do see it wrapping up soon. But, like other stories, might there be a sequel? Joey seemed so together at the beginning, but his unraveling has allowed him more insight into himself. It was much needed. Roman was a good catalyst as was Dean.
  13. I would imagine that Anthony (Antoine?) knew that Jack must be 16 in England to be legal. However, I do believe it was just a flirtatious moment. Joey and Jack are both young and both are growing slowly but surely. Love Roman!

    You Did What?

    Oh to be young and give up a gallon! Jack handled getting his stuff very well considering. Glad to see that what happened between Roman and Joey is now out in the open between them. Roman is still young at 17, but acts like someone much older. There must be a different rate of maturation for the Brits!

    Chapter 7

    It took me a minute to make the mental switch of POV but so totally loved the descriptions from Belle's side. Great story continuation!
  16. What a wonderful conversation between Joey and his dad! It now appears a bit clearer what that "thing" is in Roman and Joey's past. And Jack is intuitive enough to catch the look in their eyes! Great chapter once again!
  17. For a long time, Shaun was the one to help Joey see things rationally. He is impulsive and highly emotional - things he needs to learn to control. With Roman's help and also Jack's, Joey will be more comfortable in his own skin. Pay is always a source of concern especially when one is not earning a lot. Yet, Jack does not see the "benefits" that he receives in his overall compensation: room, board, etc. Ah, youth!
  18. The minds of teenagers is certainly very accurately portrayed in this story and especially in this chapter. Jack has helped Joey to step back and evaluate his actions which have already begun to change his ways. I can only repeat much of what has been said in the other comments which are very astute. Another wonderful chapter!
  19. In his way, Shaun was most likely not trying to end his life but to punish Jack and Joey with the idea he would come back to taunt them. Suicide is such a permanent answer to a temporary question. A sad situation for sure, but, as a development in the story, a twist for sure!
  20. Shaun has had a full breakdown on the level of paranoid schizophrenia! His parents have certainly played a part in his attitudes, but I do believe there is a chemical/physical component that needs to be diagnosed and treated. He's going to need Joey's support after treatment, if his parents do get him real help. Great chapter! Very heavy but very informative.

    Chapter 16

    So reminiscent of the stories I grew up with. I had an aunt who died at 26. I was only 5, but remember the pall that came over the family for so long. Still, look at how the remaining family pulled together.
  22. And what would we have without the a-hole parents somewhere in a teen story? You've accurately described how many would act in a high school at such news, though I should hope that in today's world, it would not be that dramatic everywhere. Surely, there are some supportive students besides Toby and Dean. And now on to the next chapter!

    Day 40

    And so Kyle is facing the consequences of borrowing from a loan shark! Matias seems naive about the "one last job"...as Kyle has pointed out. Is it possible to exit from this downward pull?
  24. I didn't see that but could understand the interpretation. I was thinking more along the line of pranks like farting and running. That was more like what we did as kids...
  25. I didn't pick up that interpretation from the conversation between Roman and Joey? What led you to this conclusion? I would agree with your thoughts on Shaun and Joey. Thus, it will be interesting to see the resolution.
