Great story. Sometimes a compassion and a helping hand can change a person's life. This was just a story, but it can sometimes work in real life.

Great Story! I look forward to reading more and more of your stories. I am reading from the oldest to the newest now.

You are correct, and I was wrong. When mentioned Wally, made me remember Wally and Clara are Zach's parents. It has been many moons now since Zach was introduced into this series. But I thought Fred was criminal and was Gathan and Ella's dad. And Frank was Robbie's Dad. I don't remember how Wally and Frank are related. May need to go back and read some earlier posted books and refresh my memory. And I don't think Frank will defend Zach. I just don't think they will kick him to the curb and abandon him.

I don't think that Curtis Buck is even on Elizabeth Danfield's radar. Even though Zach is Frank's son and married to Isidore, it would be a far-fetched for her to us him as a way to get at the main part of the family that she hates just because Zach is dating his daughter. I also don't think that the Will or the family will turn completely against Zach because of Isidore and Frank. I think Zach will not have the luxury and status with the family as he once had. No matter if he is successful with his football career he will miss having that status he once had. Once he matures and not worried about being outted in the future. Him and Will might have a chance again in the future. Only one person knows where this story goes.

"Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back No more, no more, no more, no more Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back no more!" I love it! I didn't care at all for Zach. Sorry that Will got some battle wounds from this encounter but might be a lot worse if he put up with it again and again. Great Chapter! Great Story!

Isn't this a great series? I was hoping for more I think there were 4 redo's all together.

I really enjoyed reading this story! I think this is either the 3rd or 4th one that I have read. I do plan to read all of your stories. I just wish your chapters were a lot longer in each story.

I thought she was older too. Great Story!

I don't know about 1981, but I had a handheld mini cassette recorder that was about 2" wide, 5" long and about 3/4" thick, that I bought in 1984 or 85 when I started traveling in sales. After I would leave a customer's office and driving down the road, I would dictate highlights of my meetings where I wouldn't forget to follow up on them. When I was moving a just a couple of years ago. I ran across a pack of the mini cassette's that had fell down in my desk and under the bottom drawer. I think they had been out for a few years when I bought my recorder.

Great Story! I wish you would revisit it for another 10 years down the road.

Again, the first chapter said that Jimmy had gotten a football scholarship to Ohio State. But apparently, he is only taking a academic scholarship. Great story!

Hopefully Will might get wise and dump Zack! But I think it will work out better if Zack dumps Will.

Thanks Mark, another Great chapter. Looking forward to the meeting with Evelyn, then with Cam Squires. I still think Zach is a bad relationship for Will.

I don't understand. I thought Nick was just a Jr. in high school. Is he going to stay and go to high school there in the Columbus area? At first, I thought he was just going to stay the rest of the summer. But Jimmy said once school started he would need for it to be quite so he could study. Also, I thought both Jimmy had gotten a scholarship to play football at Ohio State and his buddy Mike had gotten one to play at Florida State. Mike said he was going to go 2 weeks before school started to spend some time at FSU. If they play football, they will have to be at their schools well over a month before school starts to start practicing.

I was wondering the same thing. She should have been scratching and clawing Paul's eye's out for doing that. She should have already stepped in about the mental abuse he was giving Alex before this all happened.

I think Will and Travis click together also. He is cultured a lot more than Zach, I don't know if anyone is more superior than anyone else, but Travis and Will have grown up with wealth from the time they were born. You are right also when you said Will has had many great examples to lead him thru life. And Curtis Buck seems to have been a piss pour example for Travis. I don't know anything about Travis' Mom or if he has ever had any influence from this Grandparents or not. Maybe if Curtis is taken down, there will be someone that can help him. If not, I am sure Stef and J.P. will offer any assistance too. I also hope that Will might start to see Zach as just a friend, not as much as his future soulmate. Thanks for the Great chapter, Mark!

Well I guess we are stuck with Will and Zach still very much an item when they get a chance. Will has the perfect insurance for Zach if Buck really starts to go forward with outing him. That tape of him fucking the 16-year-old young lady can fry his ass. Funny how Will skirted Keith to get away for an hour. I don't think Travis invited Keith, I just think he mentioned surfing with Will at 8 am and he just showed up. Thanks Mark for the chapter. Look forward to your next one!

Thanks for the new chapter, Mark. Was out of town overnight and just now got a chance to read it. I still don't care for Zach and still think he will end up being bad for Will. I don't wish Zach any harm, just for him not to be the main guy in Will's future life. I hope he ends up having a great career in the NFL, but I doubt it. We haven't seen anything written about his outstanding performances in his games, or him appearances for interviews on national sports networks as being a rising star. But it is what it is. If they end up together that is fine too. I just see him with too much of Jeff in him. I hope I am wrong. Looking forward for the next chapter.

Mark I went and tried to do the poll, but never could figure out how to vote. I kept clicking on the "Will stays in the closet until they’re done and gone, then sneaks out." option but never did get it to register. What am I doing wrong?

That was exactly what I was thinking while I was reading that part. But I was thinking she might catch something and blame Zach after giving it too him, and then Zach jump Will about giving it to him. I was thinking it was a good thing Will got pics of them fucking, so he could show Zach he did not get it from him. Not HIV, but herpes, the clap or something like that. And who knows it could still turn out that way!

I don't think Will would ever share what is on the tapes with Travis, now he might would with Zach at some other point in time, but not at the Buck's estate. Too much monitoring with devices and the Craddock guy who I assume is a private investigator. But I think Will is way too smart to share with Travis. Now sometimes in the future if the blood gets to flowing between Travis and his dad. A part of that tape might anonymously show up in a package for Travis.

Me I am jumping for joy. I hope Will after this will start pulling away from Zach. He has put up with so much of his shit thru the years. I have always thought that Zach was pulling Will down as well as using him. Maybe this will start the seperation for good.

Granger seems to be accumulating a house full to take home to Caroline, Matheus and Hans. He may have to get a bigger home. Thank You Mark for this latest chapter. You are #1

Great chapter. I think Zach and Will handled that well with Taylor. Could Will have someone lined up for those cold New England evenings to snuggle in bed with? Party may get interesting. Thanks Mark! Keep up the Great work!
