Jeff isn’t clueless, stupid, or any of those other adjectives, he suffers from a disease of the mind and body.
There is a solution and treatment, but abstinence is required, and from Jeff’s description he’s going to need a detox with a hospital stay.
I’ve been sober for a while now, as well as have become a substance abuse counselor.
From a scientific point of view, Jeff has become a pickle, and can’t go back to being a cucumber. 🤓
Great story, thanks.
Ok,,,,Confusing....
im with Timothy M., everyone is jumping on Noah for his response to Jordan’s late night decision.
While Jordan,was talking to Noah about Aiden, money, messiness, etc, I kept thinking excuses, excuses.
I felt the pain Noah was going through during these exchanges.
All that being said, I LOVE this story. Thanks so much.
Loved this,chapter.
I laughed at the mention of the Waterworks bar on Central Ave in Albany. I remember when it opened.
In 1981 I met my partner and now husband at the 8-Ball bar up Central a few blocks. Been together now 37 years.
I was 22 at the time and spent quite a few evenings after work at the Waterworks shooting pool. Fun times,,
My heart just broke for Jordan. But I’m glad he stood up for himself and left.
His dad is a professional victim, nothing is ever their fault, the world is out to get them and no one understands them.
Ugh
I’m beginning to feel Aiden is using Owen and being selfish about a lot of different things.
He disappears, moody, and his basic communication with Owen is always on his terms.
Granted we only have Owens POV, but with Reilly, why the cloak and dagger about getting his number and address?
and when Owen gets to Reillys room Aiden says let’s go. Why not let Owen and Reilly get to know each other?
while he may not be interested in Reilly over Owen, but some good old fashion communication is needed.
As bad as it was for Noah, thank god it wasn’t worse.
Sabastian is a slime-ball and his time will hopefully come. Karma baby karma.
Jordan needs to make some big decisions, he’s Noah-gay at least.
Thanks so much for all you do.
Uh oh. This makes my stomach queasy. Your first time is difficult enough, but to be forced (raped) is awful.
Be sure to let Jordan beat Sebastian to a pulp please.
Hmmm, I don’t trust this Sebastian character. I’m afraid his intentions with Noah, a smaller non athletic guy, are dangerous. He’s pushy, dishonest and just a little too slimy. Both times he’s kissed Noah they’ve been interrupted before it could get out of hand (for Noah).
I like Marks character from the beginning, but even though he didn’t actually do the deed, he lied, snuck around behind Ross’ back. I would feel betrayed. Sad.
I have also gotten fond of JJ. He began as a happy, sweet, fun loving kid. Skating turned him into an asshole diva. But I think with the help of John C fucking him on the regular, he’ll be restored to being happy again. 🤓
Great chapter. Thanks for all you do.
