Glad Carter saw what he was missing out on with Jackson out of his life and decided to be honest with himself as well as Jackson.

Carter is definitely in denial. You don’t give a guy a blowjob and then call a kiss gay. Hopefully this has been a wake up call because his texts and other non sexual actions weren’t exactly typical of a staight guy either. He’s clearly got it bad for Jackson whether he realizes it or not.

I wonder if Carter let slip something about being attracted to Jackson to Beth and that’s why he was so suspicious of him showing up. Regardless it is odd he was suspicious and angry for a second about Jackson showing up so I’m curious about what went on in that room.

I’ll definitely take a look. Thanks for the suggestion as I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading your other stories.

In this world are we ever truly the driver? We can choose the road we take but there are always unseen potholes, forks in the road, and detours. In the end most of the time it still feels like we are often just a passenger along for the ride while occasionally getting our turn at the wheel. We just have to make sure we don’t overhaul the engine too much or we’ll just end up speeding past all of the beautiful scenery.

I had a feeling Sam would offer to help him out lol.

It’s been a wild ride. Brian does seem to be a gay magnet and I’m not certain Ed is wrong about Brian’s sexuality. He kept labeling himself gay and that Annie was the exception except there’s the reference to him enjoying kissing Missy. Of course who doesn’t enjoy a good kiss? Lol he is whatever he is as there’s no need to put a label on it. It’s an interesting coming of age story with a few unexpected twists that kept us all entertained. I’m glad that Brian & Jeff’s love along with Brian & Annie’s slightly less passionate love were able to balance themselves out. It’s a bit sad that Brian was already picturing the future without Jeff due to college seperating them but their future is an uncertain one so I can see why he couldn’t avoid thinking about it. Thankfully they have another year at least to be together and hopefully Robbie will find someone as well in the meantime. Even if Brian & Jeff don’t end up a forever couple these memories will stay with them forever.

It may be odd but in reality relationships aren’t always solid through the entire relationship as many hit bumps in the road. In the end it sounds like a plausible situation as odd is in the eye of the beholder. It’s great that you’re using real life experiences to inspire your work. I prefer long stories though I do need to check out some of your other work.

Brian could be imagining things but if not his first interaction with the brothers had him noticing they looked nothing alike. It’s a nice cover story if they aren’t actually brothers as their affection towards each other could be interpreted as brotherly affection by most strangers. Their story though seems too geniune so I’m guessing they are brothers but they might not be related by blood. It’s an interesting mystery but it may just be two brothers who have a strong emotional bond.

I was worried that the thing with Annie would put stress on their relationship but so far I am happy to see these two still so in love with each other. When Brian used the L word in regards to how he felt about Annie saying he loved them both I was really worried because splitting your affections like that can’t be good for relationships but as I said so far everything seems ok. Sadly I also worry about Annie because as Ed pointed out Brian can see everyone’s side wanting to help them even if it’s undeserving so if he breaks things off with her in the future he’s liable to feel guilty about hurting her plus she may be fairly hurt if they keep this relationship up for a long time as she’s clearly in love with him.

There’s nothing wrong with experimenting and as long as everyone is ok with it and the whole threesome thing didn’t bother me personally when reading this as I know they were all open to it happening. What I’m concerned about is the emotions involved. Generally in threesomes and even open relationships it’s typical that you lack an emotional connection with the third party when you’re in a relationship with someone you love. Yet in this story Annie seems to be in love with Brian and kinda seems to want to fool around when Jeff isn’t present at the end of this chapter which I’m not certain is an invite Brian can resist. Also thinking back to the conversation between Brian & Jeff I had inferred Jeff was mainly open to it continuing because he didn’t want Annie hurt though when she seemed happy to stop at a one time deal Brian let her know he wanted to continue this new relationship plus he seems to have strong emotions for her beyond friendship. Despite their ages as well as sexual curosity I expected a tiny bit of jealousy from Jeff when Brian told him he’d be interesting in having sex with Annie again and if they do start seeing each other separately Jeff may get jealous. I honestly just find it weird that despite their love Jeff has shown no signs of jealousy which could mean he’s just confident in their relationship though I wonder if the reverse was happening how Brian would react. This is going to test their relationship at some point as to me the emotional connection is more troubling than sex as Jeff may get jealous of how close Brian & Annie are.

Yeah I get around when it comes to looking for good stories. I agree with you that there’s nothing wrong with noticing somebody else is attractive it’s just that my view is impacted by a combination of real life experiences and a combination of story content I’ve read on here. I always expect the other shoe to drop and look for any hints no matter how small that indicate potential upcoming drama when reading these stories lol. Not everyone ends up with their first or even second love plus as you say they still are figuring things out at their age so we’ll see what happens.

I don’t recall Brian ever commenting on finding another guy attractive really except for Jeff so this has me concerned about their relationship. Don’t get me wrong Brian seems faithful but still...drama is bound to happen.

When I find a good story I tend to lose all track of time . We’d all like to believe there was some good in the man but as you said we’ll likely never know. In the end that’s what we want to believe but the fact we want to believe it so bad means it’s unlikely to be the truth. Still, regardless Adam will now be able to hold onto some hope that his father loved him deep down.

True. Not saying it’s unexpected he felt that way but as outsiders we can see Adam won’t feel that way. Guilt and worry are often illogical emotions.

This is all complicated but in the end I hope Kyle doesn’t get off with less of a charge with someone like Adam or even Troy saying he was just a follower. Even after learning Mike may have given him HIV and seeing Mike didn’t care rather seemed to find it funny he still seemed to enjoy what was going on. He was grinning while holding Adam down, he grabbed Adam’s butt while probably thinking about getting to rape him later, and he punched Adam in the face so I don’t think he was just following Mike like a lost puppy. Adam’s dad doesn’t make any sense to me and neither does the theory that he was grabbing the gun to save Adam’s life. I think Adam is just trying to see good in his father. I find it weird that Adam’s father seems to hate gays yet was supporting Mike & Kyle raping the two boys. I suppose he felt more strongly against his son being gay than being gay in general and maybe rationalized that gay guys deserved to be raped as punishment plus them getting HIV was a nice bonus. I understand that he can’t help grieve his father to some extent but I hope he isn’t too emotionally torn up if his mom says no to letting him attend the funeral plus if he goes she’s likely going to blame everything on him. I saw a comment about Troy possibly feeling guilty over Mike getting HIV along with Mike possibly giving it to Kyle and I hope that doesn’t happen as it’s not his fault that Mike’s urges led him to a random person for unprotected sex.

Kyle is obviously as sadistic as a Mike considering he was grinning while holding Adam down so his sperm donor could whip him. I thought that in anger Kyle would fight Mike and that’d create an opening for the boys to get away yet apparently even his anger toward Mike didn’t stop him from enjoying what was going on. Mike cracks me up as he calls the boys insulting things for being gay yet clearly neither he nor Kyle are exactly straight. I didn’t expect to see Adam’s “father” because honestly with his seemingly trying to shoot a cop, abusing his son, and not having a lot of money I expected him to still be locked up. I mean based on their living situation I didn’t think he could afford bail and I thought that while they never actually said he tried to shoot a cop the fact his gun went off when they went to take him in for questioning made it seem like a big enough deal for them to keep him locked up until his trial if he couldn’t make bail. I’m glad the cops showed up just in time to prevent the boys from getting raped.

Oh that poor guy doesn’t know how to work a cellphone and only thought the pictures were deleted. Somebody should get him a Cellphone For Dummies book for his birthday. I wonder if he was actually too stupid to know how to delete the pictures or actually smart enough not to delete them so he could claim he was just mistaken about them being deleted if his plan backfired on him. I’m glad nobody is getting away with what they did. Well, that’s assuming those not already in custody don’t somehow get out of dodge before getting caught.

Looks like there’s light at the end of the tunnel but let’s hope it’s not from a train that’s about to run them over. Not to sound pessimistic but I don’t like to get my hopes up. The lawyer seems smart, his strategy seems perfect, and there seems to be physical evidence that could help convict one boy at the very least yet nothing is ever certain. Life often throws you curveballs and while it seems like this is slam dunk the legal system can be a complex maze that few can conquer even when an outcome seems certain. Still, I’m fairly hopeful that these kids aren’t going to get away with what they did and hopefully the detective won’t walk away from this as if he did nothing wrong either.

I saw that coming but I hoped I was wrong. It’s sad when you can’t trust a cop\detective to do their job without letting their personal views get in the way. I hope they can do something about him but there’s no proof he deleted the photos on purpose so I’m not sure legally what could be done.

I don’t know any reason Troy would fear Adam wouldn’t love him for anything except him having been raped. I know his fear is unfounded if he was raped as Adam will love him as it’s not like he cheated on him, but now I’m even more upset as I have a bad feeling that evidence will “go missing” if that detective is homophobic. He gave off a vibe that makes me think he might do something stupid and let the boys get away with what they did. Hopefully regardless of any personal views he might have he’ll do his job to the letter of the law though I just don’t know if that’s a realistic thing to hope for.

I like many expected Adam to get jumped after Troy left. Troy seemed more athletic to me so Adam would be the weaker target in my mind and I hope Troy isn’t hurt too badly.

This story was great and so were the characters. I’m sorry that in the end Quinn’s mom never really accepted his sexuality but I’m also sad he put up with it. I mean at the end it sounds like he’s still living with her and allowing her to live in a fantasy world where she ignores that he’s gay. I wish he had moved in with Brad’s family or maybe even with Jude rather than living with his mom. I’d expect moving in together would have been a big step they might not have been ready for though. Still, his current environment doesn’t sound healthy emotionally and mentally speaking as he’s clearly not thrilled with his mother’s method of dealing with the truth of who he is. It just feels like a semi happy ending though realistic. Also, has Quinn never heard of the internet? I mean Taylor gave him a VHS tape to teach him about gay sex for goodness sakes when you can get so much information plus free porn online rofl. I find it hilarious that apparently Quinn & Jude decided they wanted to keep that video lol. Things are still somewhat unresolved at the end as Quinn is only open with a few people so we don’t know how he’ll deal when more people eventually find out and while we hope the relationship makes it we don’t exact have hard proof it will as the future is always uncertain. Also as others have commented these two never actually said they loved each other though I think actions speak louder than words in this case. Clearly Quinn & Jude love each other and if by some shock they don’t they’re headed in that direction.

Well Mrs. Moore you shocked me. You actually did something positive and helpful as well as apologized for some of your past actions. I’m still thinking she won’t handle the news that Jude and/or Quinn is gay considering some of her past comments. I don’t think she’d throw Quinn out but I think she’d be upset for a while. I’m glad that it looks like Quinn & Brad can be friends again. They still have things to talk about and issues to deal with yet it looks promising. I think this is a positive thing for Jude if he can learn to accept the money from his parents. I hope despite his eh passionate response to Quinn’s presence in bed that he’s not angry with him in the morning considering his attitude when he left the dinner table.

Ugh Mrs. Moore is going to cause trouble for Jude by getting involved with his parents. I get why it’s a shock to Brad but how much time has passed and how often has he just glared at Quinn? I know it hasn’t been months but it’s not like he found out Quinn was gay yesterday. He wants Quinn around just to make himself happy and he wants to ignore that Quinn is gay. Their friendship might be repaired given time but he’s liable to wear on Quinn’s nerves in the meantime.
