Never underestimate the ingenuity of a horny teenage boy with a case of the "blues."
-
Happens every day.

He's just a sucker with no self-esteem.
-
I think he just has low self esteem and will always see himself as a screw up.
-
I couldn't agree more!
-
I don't think we'll ever fully understand the complexities of sexuality because it's more art than science.
-
I kind of see Ryan as someone who just can't have someone be angry with him, sort of a people-pleaser. Why is he even playing football? Because that's what his dad wanted. Why'd he have sex with Jake? That's what Jake wanted. Yes, he was betrayed and reacted out of anger, but he can't just let Jake be mad at him forever, so he offered friendship.
-
I wouldn't necessarily say that's the case. I think for Danny relationships are adventures that come and go, but I think he has a very deep love for Jake, he's been trying to process what that means. Now, does he use the girls he's with to process that? He sure does. Maybe sometimes we "declare a major" before we decide what we want to do with our life?

I specialize in writing characters you want to slap. I like this take on Danny. He's not a bad kid, but he is confused, that's for sure. Still not sure where he fits in in the world.
-
So good I don't know where to start! I just love you so much, I hope you know that! I think Danny's idea of a soulmate is still under construction. He felt something with Jake he'd never felt with any of his other sexual encounters and he's trying to process what it meant. Certainly, he wanted to have sex with Jake, and has for quite a while. But in getting what he wanted he realized maybe what he wanted was more than he wanted it to be?
-
Greatest thing for me about writing is when someone connects to one of my characters and says, "This is me." Thank you so much!
-
Author's secret - I don't really believe in soulmates. But Danny does, and so I treat it as seriously as he does. I believe we could have many relationships that could all end up being our "one true love," and so much is based on timing, geography, willingness to try, etc.. I have tried to take the "fairy tale" out of this one and just have fun with it and see where it goes. I've enjoyed the journey as the boys discover who they are, and who they might become.

String comments - entertaining and informative! 😄

It was a roller coaster, for sure!
-
Truth. Though you'd be surprised how many band kids will stick with it just for the socialization.
-
I was pretty complex and screwy when I was 15-16. We tend to imprint our current selves onto our past and feel like we were always destined to be what we became. I believe we can go a lot of different directions, and who we thought we were will probably not be where we end up.
-
That would be JMF. And here is where it's good that they've almost caught up to the present! I can only go so far until there's no where else to go.
-
Makes a fun story, though!
-
I don't think they're horrible. I do think they're immature and have a lot of growing up to do.
-
You'd be surprised how many people will cheat on their soulmate.

Kyle's last name is McHenry, Jake had to get through his defenses to get to know him better :)

It was the last game of the year. Once again, we were in the stands of Central Catholic High School. The crowds were some of the largest we’d ever seen during the season. We’d won five games and lost three. If we won against Central Catholic, we’d be in the high school playoffs. It wasn’t looking good though. With only a few minutes left we were down and Central Catholic had the ball and were trying to put the game away. Ryan had been getting more and more playing time as he learned from Co

Wow! Loving the conversation and when i get a moment I'll respond properly, but let me just say that I wish I'd have named this chapter "Sins of the Fathers" because basically, each of the boys is following the example of the parents. Jake may be acting like his father, I even had him in his father's old shirt, but what he really wants is a nice healthy relationship like Mr. Reilly or Mr. Rossi. Danny is repeating the mistakes of Jake's dad, finding fulfillment in yet another girl. Ryan is like his mother, willing to overlook Jake's faults just to keep the peace. And the beat goes on.

I never slept better than I did on that squeaky, sagging, broken down old dorm room mattress. I felt so safe and comfortable in Danny’s arms, his naked body intertwined with mine. I felt a sense of peace I hadn’t felt since the divorce. It felt so right. I never wanted to wake up. Danny started to stir. I pressed myself against him. I didn’t want him to wake up either. Whatever dreams he was dreaming had to be better than the reality which awaited us when he awoke. What if we just stayed in
