@Bndmetl you have been a great inspiration toward shifting writing style, and i can't say thank you enough for giving me a slap to get my act together when I have fumbled along occassionally in writing. It's an absolute pleasure working together.
I agree my grandpa had a massive heart attack and we knew in adnvance what we were walking into, however car accidents bring thing to a whole new level for the everyday person. I was a professional firefighter/paramedic and saw a lot of injuries and death. The worst cases to deal with involved kids, an adult atleast had the chance to live their life, but a child didn't.
Oh my, wouldn't that have been interesting. This story is set in same general area as @jkwsquirrel's story as I myself grew up in that area. Just town name was changed a bit.😀
Brendan and Cam do seem to be drawing strength from one another. Aaron is being torn in many directions with losing Mary, and Alex's life laying in the balance, along with the other two boys emotions. I have a feeling Aaron will definitely need some support when he has a chance to let things set in. Thanks for reading @glennish
Thanks the new writing style took a while to work through, that was the reason for delay, but well worth it to sort it out. I take the mascara running as the story moved you emotionally and thats a compliment. Thanks for continueing reading.
Everything Changes
Chapter 4 – It’s Alright To Cry
Friday night Brendan's cell phone began to ring, "Hey Dad."
"Brendan, you guys need to pack up your stuff as quick as you can. I will be there in a half hour or less."
"But I thought you weren't coming to get us until Sunday?"
"Brendan your Mom went to pick up Joey and Alex, and a drunk driver ran a red-light and hit your mom's car."
"Is Mom okay?"
"Brendan, your mom was killed. But Joey and Alex
Nothing like a good old fashioned Currie cookout to make a person enjoy themselves. Seeing Ian's attacker receive their just dues was another high point in this chapter. Great writing as always Bill, keep up the superb work.
This is one time I support Billy, granted he could have gone about it more tactfully. Paula is an uptight bitch that needs to drop dead, I would seldom say that but since she is such a bible thumping bitch she deserves a little well deserved crucifiction in her life. Brett needs to get his shit together too, support his boyfriend instead of a coniving friend. Maybe its time for Dustin and Billy to be together.
Nice to have a new reader @chris191070, welcome aboard. Losing friends and family, the trevor project hits close to the heart. Hope that you enjoy the story as it unfolds.

@droughtquakeThanks for sharing, to suffer from depression and ptsd from the death of my cousin, I find talking about my issues helps me more than my medications. With depression hitting so many adults and youth, i wanted this chapter to show support for our friends, family, and strangers that feel lost, depressed, and alone. Likewise anybody needing to vent, or talk about lifes troubles anybody can pm me and i can lend an ear to listen, and a shoulder to lean on.

Thanks Wesley, yes Cam is making progress. I am hoping he can start to gather his wits about himself. I believe we will start to see a little happier Cam in the near future.

Bndmetl, geat job as always. The make up was the prank of all pranks to date, and poor Ollie being made the designated street whore was hilarious. Pat being his shy self with Ian snapping picture got a good laugh out of me. Then we have Pickles, my god the name alone made me laugh, only Lee could pull that one off. Keep up the awesome work...
