I get that. It sucks that this has such a visceral response for so many. Thanks for commenting, tim.

We'll have to see what develops there - with the ranger's boy. Regardless, Orson won't put up with much from that particular family. Elias... yeah. Angry and sad are both good emotions to have concerning his situation.

Orson is tied up in Elias's life now, and he won't let anything happen to him if he can help it. Mr. Ranger had better understand that. Mother is really not cut out to be a mom. If she were, she'd know how Danny makes her son feel, and that should be a big sign that she should have nothing to do with him from then on.

You're certainly right about that.

June 12 (Tuesday, 6:30 AM) "Samantha, what are you doing up?" Greg smiled at the girl as she yawned and approached the patio table. He sipped his favorite morning drink, and until Samantha had arrived he had been alone there. Clay was in the shower and as far as Greg knew the rest of the guys were having a lazy morning. Samantha made a face and took a seat. "I smelled something weird out at my tent. It woke me up." She stretched and audibly popped her back. She looked over at her tent si

Thanks! Would wouldn't want a Paul in their life?

Hehe. This is the real hook for the story. If you can stop reading now, then I've miserably failed.

Thank you. 😄

They're coming, and soon. 🙂

Hi, KayDeeMac. Thanks for commenting! I hope you stay intrigued in the story. Guarded is far from perfect, but I do think it has a good plot. I see you're reading on by the additional comments on the chapters. Keep going. There's a mystery to unravel.

Thanks for commenting, Mike. Giving of ourselves can't happen without a reason or a willing cause. So you're right. The receiver is half of the coin here. Orson is a sweet guy, and he was looking for a reason to be where he found himself. Elias gave him one, and helped him by accepting that gift of kindness Orson needed to give.

You're so right. Both of those things are huge. It's a lesson many don't ever learn, or it's one we have to be reminded of at times by those who love us. Helpers, like Orson need to do things for others. It's a part of who he is.

Thank you for commenting, Fae. Clay did realize, finally, how deep Mason feels for Jeremy. It’s a good step for him. Elias and Orson are really both due for some happiness. That they’re finding it in each other... I think it makes things all the much sweeter. Ah, Avery. He’s something else. 😀

Thanks for the comment, Mancunian. I try to put myself into the characters I write. I think about how they'd feel, and how their situations would make me feel too. If I were in Orson's shoe I'd be so frustrated. I think most of us would be. You're right, in that perhaps he has found a little something to boost his spirits (by helping Mason and Jeremy). He's a natural-born helper. It gives him joy and purpose to do that.

Thanks for the comments, Mancunian. Life is cyclic, and so too is this tale. I do write that way - there are ups and downs, victories and trials. It's just life, or as close to life as I can get. I'm glad you're enjoying the work. There's more to come on Sunday.

Thanks for commenting, Chris. There's definitely a lot going on in the chapter. It definitely seems that the scene between Elias and Orson took the prize for impact, but you're right - there's a lot of other stuff in here to celebrate too.

Thanks for the comment, James. Elias has had a very rough life. There's a reason he's in the Raven Project, a program designed for teens who have few safe outlets, or good places to be. More on him is coming.

Thank you, Parker. This was a place designed with healing in mind. There's more needed, and more coming for all of them. But, there are more trials too. Stick with me.

That's a great summation. I particularly like "... Mason got trucked." 😄 Thanks for reading and commenting, Dave!

Thanks, droughtquake. 🙂 Elias... I spent a long time tinkering with his character and scenes. I wanted people to feel what he did, how wounded and hurt he has been. So that moment, when Elias was able to trust Orson, so that it would mean something. And you're right - it's not just about Elias. There's a lot of happiness going on in this one. It is still my favorite chapter that I've ever written, in any story.

Misfit might be one word. A lot of these people don't fit in anywhere else, but they've found a little place to be where that doesn't matter anymore. I'd love to find a place like this. 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting!
