Yup. The baby name list I used had the wrong spelling. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for reading, centexhairysub. That scourge of drugs touched my family as well and is what heavily influenced this chapter. The CDC stats on the hardships for Gay youths in the system, and on the streets, is heartbreaking. According to the CDC study from 2016, there was over 1 million homeless youth in the USA, and over 50% of them are LGBT. They are preyed upon everywhere. It's heartbreaking.
Ugh... the baby name list I used had it as Tibot... Sorry for the confusion. I like the Tibot spelling, and it fits the nickname I gave him of Tibs... Which will be seen in later chapters.
Leason learned... double check sources.
Thanks for reading, Wesley. My bad on the name mix up, correct spelling is Tibot. It's a Biblical name and also the name of a Book in the Bible. Well, some versions of the bible. Tibot was the father of Tobias, in that book.
Thanks for reading, jp. Yeah, I goofed on the name. Should be fixed now. Tibot is the correct version. Won't lie, Adan is suspect as well. He's had years of mistrust, but you never know.
It's Tibot. It's a rare Biblical name, and also the name of a book in the bible. The Smith Parents wanted to keep a theme going. But, I just noticed I did a switch up when you mentioned this. Thanks. I'll get it corrected.
“Call me.”
Those two simple words sent a chill down Adam’s spine. After staring at the open email, he glanced at the now empty bottle of whiskey.
“I’m not drunk enough to call him yet.” Adam stood up and walked across the house. He tossed the empty bottle into the recycle bin. The sound of the glass bottles, as they clinked on each other, was deafening in the still silent air of the pantry. He walked over to the wine closet and took out a bottle of wine. Popping the cork and grabbing a w
First off, how can this story be around for almost four years without a review! That said. Give this story a read. It is a fantastic love story, completed in three quick chapters. There's love, drama, and the characters are believeable, and well thought out. My only critisim of the piece is that it's short. Would love to see more of the characters' life together, but I understand why it ends the way it does.
Thank you, again, for reading and for the feedback. Yeah, the emotions are running a little high in this one. I just hope I'm not making it overly teary. Chapter 3 is almost done. A bit of a spoiler alert, but there will be tears in it.
Thank you for reading, and for the comment. The idea behind the story was inspired by a friend who went through something similar. Had a one night stand, and two years later gets a notice from the state he owed child support. I've always had that in the back of my mind, and when I was challenged to try something different, I just knew that this story had to be told.
They mentioned it at the start of the Lightning at Hurricanes game tonight, and read the statement from the team. They also mentioned one of our assistant coaches was involved, but I miss how. My heart goes out to those families, and my prayers.
Thanks for reading, deville. Hadn't thought of a trust fund, but that is a good idea. (steals the idea.) Yeah, I think the estrangement is pretty bad, and I hope I convey it in the next chapter pretty well.
