“No fucking way.” Elle gasped. “Uh-huh. I know, right?” “Wait…” she whistled, all flustered, eyes wide open, palms helicoptering in front of her reddening face. “Wait-wait-wait… Hold on-hold on… Are you saying that you’re in a love triangle with two sons of Boston’s most notorious crime lords?!” I scratched my head for a second. “What?!” I blurted out. “Oh my God it’s so exciting!” “Elle are you crazy? What the hell are you talking about?!” “…I can’t believe t

No worries at all, you’ve already served this story a huge enough favor. Thank you!

Yes, I can see how this can look very confusing. Dylan is trying to convince Emma, that the reason he lied to the hospital staff and refused to press charges against Liam was his love and respect for her. In one of the prior chapters, when he confronts Liam about it outside of his house at night, he says it straight to his face - “I would’ve thrown you in jail, but I couldn’t do this to your mom.” This is his own perception, however. His mother, Helen, isn’t buying it. She is convinced that he kept his mouth shut because he didn’t want to cause Liam any troubles. It looks like Helen still thinks her son has some residual feelings (or had, at that time) for Liam. Being very a straightforward gal, she spits out what’s on her mind when her son is trying to sell his “bullshit” to Emma. Whether she’s right or wrong, we simply don’t know, it’s very possibly she’s just incorrect. Her last line, where she stops Emma from attempting to excuse/redeem her son is intended to show how much she still hates Liam for what he did to her boy.

Yeah, Liam doesn’t seem like someone with a great sense of restraint. Let’s see if Dylan and his mom will help keep him in the dark. As to what Liam feels, yeah, it’s pretty sad. Something tells me that it must feel like a torture, realizing that you love a person that will never love you back. Too bad we don’t have a window into his mind anymore, like we did in chapter 1. Thank you! I think something probably did happen. But regardless of what it was, I doubt that Dylan or us will ever be satisfied with it. No amount of trauma can justify this behavior, Dylan is a prime example of someone who withstood all of it and turned out on top, so to speak. Jake does have a gun, but I’m not sure who’s working for whom. His family seems just as rich, if not more well off, than Henderson’s. I wish I could also afford a ski-trip-therapy lol. As to what Dylan might or might not disclose to Jessica, I have a feeling that our boy will try a much different approach to tame that beast. And yes, I would expect some answers about Jake in the upcoming chapters. I really want to believe that Liam truly loves Dylan. Because that would make it so, so much more painful for him, and he really deserves to suffer. Dylan’s life can take many turns… I hope for the best, but preparing myself for… anything. I’m so happy! Thank you so much!

Hmm… what could you mean?🤔 I’m not so sure if they’re trying to manipulate him. I try to think of them as of two sisters, talking without filters when they get together. Also, who knows, maybe Dylan‘s mother does know him a tad better than others? In terms of targets on their forehead, let’s see what happens next…

I’ve been meaning to reply to this comment for years, without a single ounce of exaggeration. I think it’s a little embarrassing, how many times I’ve actually read it in the moments where I’ve lost faith in myself and in my writing. So I just wanted to say thank you. You don’t know how much you’ve actually done for me 🙏

Looking at them, sitting at the same table after spending last three years estranged, felt like it could heal all of my emotional wounds. I wasn’t really speaking at first, only listening. It was quiet and dim, I could still hear birds chirping just outside the window, in the night. “You want him to leave?” Helen asked softly. “Dylan, I think you should go upsta-” “No, he deserves to know.” Emma whispered, snuffling. “After everything he went through…” I rubbed my cheek, trying t

And they will be! Stay tuned for what’s coming next 😈 Jessica is just a friendly neighborhood gal that wants to help Dylan’s shed some light on recent mysteries. I would imagine if she acts so cocky, she has some merit behind her threats. Yes, next chapter will provide some answers, definitely. It’s interesting to read your guys’s theories, though! Are we sure it was Liam? 🤔 We just cranked it up a notch. I have to say, Breaking Bad is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Such interesting character arcs. I think we’ve got our own Carrie now, 🤗copyright free. Who knows, she might actually burn the whole place to the ground herself. Spot on! The bitch might’ve taken a bite too big to chew, I’m afraid. Who knows what might awaken now in Dylan. Threatening himself is one thing, I’m not sure how he will react to threats against his sister. Once again, I just love Breaking Bad. You’re be giving me some great ideas here!

“Aaahh! Aaah! Oh fuck! Fu-u-u-uck!..” I moaned. “Oh baby… Hold on! Ooohh! Ooohh shit! Aaahhh!” Jake echoed. I didn’t even have to picture what I looked like. Embarrassingly enough, a large mirror on the wardrobe cabinet standing beside the bed left absolutely nothing to imagination. He held me firmly by the waist, his dark skin glowing in the moonlight, strong hands leaving bruises on my skin as he kept me down on all fours and forced our bodies to join and disjoin. I was drenched in s

Oh this is fun. I wonder if Carrie should make an appearance? You think Stephen King would hit me with a copyright claim? Let me think on that, thanks for the idea 😌 I’m pretty sure he could do better. Something tells me he’s just dipping his toes into what he can actually do to the guy. He did have a meningitis as a kid. Will I blame his behavior on that? Nope, not really. The boy certainly seems like he has something going on though, mentally. I’m pretty sure his obscenely rich parents can get him some nice counseling. Who knows, he might actually need some after what happened in this chapter. I think we can give Liam enough credit to accept humiliation. That silly boy can use some hard lessons. As to what happens next, who knows? For all I care, they could actually get hit by an asteroid and I’d be done with it 😉 You think? I think he could do more. Oh well, he may have some ways to improve later on. I really need him to be a bit more confident, I think it suits him pretty well. I think he was just too fed up with the guy. It’s also difficult to navigate through what your body wants and what your mind knows and despises. Dylan is 17, he’s young and flawed and is still growing. He might be smart, but it doesn’t mean he won’t make mistakes. We’re all human. Maybe somewhere deep down he wanted to test himself as much as he wanted to test Liam? Maybe he just needed to see if he was actually drawn to him, sexually? Whatever it was, Liam seems to have pulled the short straw here.

What I meant by that comment, was that villains very commonly end up having most beautiful, majestic life imaginable after committing some heinous shit. All of you want to believe that Liam will end up miserable and sad, and although I’d be in the first row applauding such outcome, I really don’t think it will happen. He is simply way too rich, he has too many second chances, too many things are in his favor. It’s just the way rules are set in our fucked up world for people like him. Is it possible that he will end up in a dumpster or jail? Sure! Is it likely? I don’t think so. I will try to adhere to a brutal realism here. The only person that can actually fuck him up, I’m afraid, is Dylan. Whether he does, and how he does it, is 100% up to him.

“You look tired,” Elle noted, as I poked the food on the tray with the plastic fork. We were eating lunch and I did everything in my power to keep my eyes on the salad, careful not to look at Liam. His bruises have mostly faded away. Somehow, I wasn’t able to inflict much damage even armed with a baseball bat, which felt both pathetic and alleviating at the same time. I knew he was watching me, his gaze was almost burning my skin. I wasn’t going to do him a favor by paying attention.

I would respectfully disagree. For a kid like Dylan, this might’ve been a very tough experience. I wouldn’t rule out that beating someone might take a bigger mental toll on a person, compared to being the one receiving the beating. I think we’re all forgetting (especially in the past few years and on the brink of WW3) that inflicting pain and suffering isn’t necessarily something that comes without consequences, in an otherwise mentally healthy individual. I think it shows strength and demonstrates moral superiority, instead of being indicative of weakness. Emotional abuse is a different story, Dylan will be cruel AF in the next chapter, me thinks. Posting now, cheers!🤗

The amount of rage a single person could invoke in me, turned out to be insurmountable. I never ran this fast before, lungs burning up, chest ready to burst out. Tonight, Liam Henderson managed to cross every single boundary - there was no way I was letting him get away with laying a finger on my boyfriend. We got upstairs in no time, shouting voices echoed through the empty walls of the dining room, resembling Pompeian ruins after most of the people have purged themselves out. Poor Jason

Thank you! Very happy you liked it. Working on next chapter right now

Remastered Dylan/Liam kiss

Thank you for the comment! Your theories look very interesting indeed, that’s all I’m going to say😉 Liam is definitely an asshole for taking advantage of Dylan, as for Jake... Well, the guy is keeping a secret. That’s not easy. Let’s hope it won’t blow in his face😬 More artwork is on the way!

Many questions that you guys have will be answered further in the story, I promise. I completely agree - Liam is a piece of shit, he does not deserve Dylan and has no right to have any sort of claim on him. So, there’s one thing that seemed unclear to my readers, for which I apologize - a kiss is a kiss, I don’t think that it’s fair to draw any long-term conclusions based on Dylan’s immediate reaction to it. In Dylan’s case it has absolutely nothing to do with love. Consider it a canon, if you will, a confirmation from author. At this moment in this story, Dylan does not feel any romantic attachment towards Liam, whatsoever. Every single thought he has about him, the irritation, disdain and annoyance he triggers, are real. The boy is 17, he’s drunk and a guy whom he had hots for in the past just kissed him. Should he have kicked Liam in the balls right away or maybe stabbed him with a pool cue? Absolutely! But that’s the thing - he’s a flawed character, he doesn’t owe anyone a reasonable and weighted reaction, for all I care he may have even liked it in the moment, despite all the horrible things Liam did. It’s his choice, if there even was one. It may be a purely sexual thing, and it may mean that Dylan is a crappy boyfriend to Jake, but it’s a largely instinctive response, which he can’t fully control. At the end of it, it definitely has nothing to do with love. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for the opinions, I truly appreciate that it triggered such interesting discussion. Once again, I agree with you, just wanted to put my spin on things.

Thank you! Those took me a few days to draw, it was a pain in the butt😂 I agree that Dylan misinterpreted the looks, there were too many things that happened, he just overheated there for a sec. We’ll have to see what happens next, I guess 😉 Thanks, I’m glad you liked the chapter and a pic! I also pictured him this way, hopefully it clicked with many readers. Yeah, next chapter should be pretty... uh... how do I put it? Explosive? Thank you! Tried my best😃 Stay tuned for more!

When I was twelve, I narrowly escaped death when a piece of a rooftop fell off the building and landed inches away from me on the sidewalk. What were the chances? I didn’t know whether to consider myself lucky or not, but the event imprinted on my memory forever. My life had a handful of other strange occurrences, but nothing really stood out in comparison to a bizarre and out-of-nowhere french kiss that Liam Henderson decided to plant upon my 17-year old lips. It was an epiphany of weird, somet

I’m on a roll, finally finished drawing Dylan! Hopefully some of you guys picture him the way I do.

New art: Liam Henderson on the field. Also, spoilers for Chapter Seven:

Thank you! I’m also curious to see what happens. If he ever forgives Liam, it won’t be easy, I think Hahaha! “You’re mine” is such a cliche, I can’t. Mutilated scrotum? Sounds interesting. The one thing I’ll disagree with is that Liam is one of those people who peaks in high school. This is frequently true about characters like him, but in his particular case - I see him perfectly happy with a wife and three kids one day, he’ll be someone that looks back at his teenage years regretting being such an asshole. Alternatively, he may turn into a very successful guy and maintain his shitty personality. Does he deserve to be happy? Probably not, or at least at this point in the story. But I really don’t think he’ll submit to becoming a miserable shit who remembers high school as his golden years. Yes, Liam’s character can be very delicious, especially when tortured 😈 I guess we’ll have to wait and see to find out what the deal is between their families, if any.

Oh, something tells me Liam won’t get away with this kiss so easily. 😉 I’m so tempted, but I strongly believe that alternating points of view are a very slippery slope! That kind of narrative murders lots of stories unfortunately, even though it would definitely be interesting to peak into Liam’s head. Thank you for the comment! I feel like someone peaked into the draft for the next chapter!🤭 I think the story implies it, yes. Liam probably drank a bit too much and didn’t really remember causing that much harm at the prom night. Does this mean that Dylan will relate to this after losing his own alcoholic virginity? I doubt it 😁 I like the brain tumor theory! Thank you! Hopefully I’ll be able to post more often 😉

“So what happened next?” Jake asked, brushing my hair with the palm of his hand. I hugged him tightly and pressed my ear to his chest. His calm, steady breathing was soothing and I felt warm in his embrace. “Nothing, he just...” I exhaled, “He just drove away. I don’t know what happened last week, where he’s been or what he did. Elle heard he crashed his car, but I don’t really care, to be honest.” “Did he try to contact you after that?” “No. I’d like to think I’ve made mys
