OR, he’s got every intention of getting Joel 💯 shitfaced so that boy can learn to relax.

Omg that birthday roast…dyyyyiing! I knew Miss Charice could bring it. Jonah is spectacular. Gotta admit that also was a pretty clever prank with the ammonia and piss water balloons. I also don’t blame Nick for his reaction. I’m the same way. Less that 4-5hrs and I’m 💯 unapproachable. Throw in getting nailed in the back by a piss filled water ballon and I’d have gone nuclear on someone. 💯 verbal tirade. Unfortunately Jack was the first person to end up talking to Nick first. No doubt he’s confused, hurt and lost. Nick baby, you need to turn that stubbornness into a more productive tool and reverse this funk. Apologize to your boy. Lots and lots of makeup sex.

Yes I know. I have a friend who’s 4yo little boy has it and another friend who’s got Harry Cell leukemia who is just waiting for final testing in I think January to confirm he’s in the clear too.

Bravo! Oh and I was kind of right about the shirt 😆

I’m worried Andy’s leukemia is more aggressive than they think

I wonder what Colt has in store for Joel.

That’s what for trying to post in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping lol sorry dude.

Wow didn’t expect the planted shirt. Detective is a dick when working a case to get the kid to slip up. Won’t work. Secondly, that shirt had to be planted by someone who’s aware of the relationship on the outside between Andy and TJ (meaning they’d have to see the fighting) which leads me to believe they’ve seen it happen. They also would have to have an idea of what was happening to TJ at home. So I wonder if there’s some back wood relation between TJ and maybe Coach or an eves dropping custodian or something. The way TJ parents were killed was brutal. Angry. A custodian would have access to gym lockers and so would a coach. It’d provide a good distraction.

Cat fights are fun to watch though 😂

I’m not gonna lie I wanted Celia to get her MommaBear attitude in and ditch the southern manners routine. I wanted to see her put Joel’s mom in her place.

I will live in Denialville ! That cannot happen. Don’t you dare 😂 and shame on you @Summerabbacat for thinking it 🤣@LittleBuddhaTW

I knew it! As soon as symptoms started presenting I knew it. I have a friend who little boy has leukemia. Ugh. Yes the recovery rate is high if caught early but a lot can still be unpredictable. . Cody’s story is heartbreaking. I’m so glad he listened to Joey and Andy.

That is for the last chapter. Leaving a cliff hanger like that about causing me to have a coronary….lawd…. as for this Chapter…sigh.. I was afraid Joey was going to experience some trauma triggering with anything sexual the boys got up to. Yeah babe you aren’t alone there. It sucks. Talk about a mood killer. Also, as for TJ’s situation..I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess family is in town and they don’t take kindly to the last of respect they haven’t enforced to their name. The boy is in some serious danger now.

I really appreciate your note here@Golden Ghost Pen. I should clarify here from my vantage,that I think Ollie was more focused on the let’s call it sexploration than seeking permission. That was the furthest thing from his mind in the moment. Innocent yet ignorant I guess. He should’ve known to get permission and not assume. But I’ll accept your spoiler now. I admit that I probably have a jaded view having been raped at 13 by an older student. I wasn’t triggered by the scene but I saw parallels for sure. Where one side takes no reaction as acceptance, the other side doesn’t. So say for example what if Mack was scared and nervous? Too terrified to react. Many abused kids have this reaction. They don’t want this, but feel like they can’t resist. Does that make it them giving permission? Seduction unfortunately isn’t always accepted. Especially when you use pot and vodka to make me compliant faster. Sadder thing still is that he was hot. He didn’t need to use vodka and weed. I was just scared and nervous. I’d have let him. Alas, that’s not how it played out. From the way the scene was written, how Mack stayed “asleep”, I don’t think we really could tell whether he allowed it from Ollie’s perspective. I mean it’s fine. This discourse is much needed and 💯 productive. I appreciate it, this story, this thread on this topic and your care to the attention of the detail your readers address.

Omg where to start..first off on butt face.. major sicko. Glad they caught him. My question is, if others have made complaints, wtf took so long? MISS Charice definitely gonna be Autie who grew up with a gay brother so she gets the jokes bc she can slay the best they can bring. That said, this also tells you she can 💯 unequivocally protect these boys from each other and the bullies of their world. I have a strong feeling that Nick’s mom is going to absolutely LOVE this woman. Is it all too good too be true? Eh..life comes in waves. Noah might be in some serious trouble if he starts his shit . Excellent chapter

10000% @Summerabbacat

I’ve seen a thing or 2 in my time.

Glad I’m not the only one.

Ok helluva chapter. I didn’t expect the loud voice to be Joey’s. Andy’s vitals crashing make me think something else is happening because that typically doesn’t happen with concussions. As a former EMT myself l, I’ve seen a few. The conversations with both spirits while knocked out seem to repeat the same message and warning. I have the feeling they’ve got something to do with Jr’s father. Plus, the way Joey handled Jt, may have begun to expose something about Joey that is not yet clear.

Don’t get me wrong..I understand his logic..but..idk..I guess hitting on friends he knows well enough to feel safe on is safer than someone else he doesn’t. Maybe that one time I saw it happen there was more to the story I wasn’t aware of. Maybe it wasn’t his first attempt on this dude and he didn’t take no for an answer. Maybe it made the other snap . Who knows. It definitely is a trial and error thing for sure and yeah you gotta start somewhere..somewhere safe. I guess I’m just more of a more anxious and cautious type from my history. I know I’d lose sleep over this if I were in his spot.

Just come back because we have a vivacious appetite for your stories.. well I do at least. I don’t know about the rest of you 😝

Hmm short chapter. That’s ok. Sometimes they’re necessary. James seems to maybe put a lure in Ollie’s pond to see what bites…maybe. But, I’m still put off by how free Ollie feels towards almost exploiting his friendships with some of his other friends as sexual possibilities. I’ve seen that go way sideways IRL with friends. So sideways the one advanced on took so offense to it they beat up the boy making the advances. Badly. Surprisingly no charges were filed. The teen doing the advancing spent a few days in the hospital for observation. I guess he wouldn’t give the law or his parents a name. Needless to say that friendship disappeared. Ollie might want to be a little more careful. Maybe I’m reading into it wrong or too much. But based on what I saw in my real life experience, this is tracking the same way bc that boy acted the same way…like Ollie doesn’t think they’d take offense to sexual advances at all. Does anyone else see Ollie’s behavior that way?

I’m right aren’t I lol

Hmmmm, I don’t like that TJ was coincidentally around on the road…almost as if he was looking for Andy.
