I think Quinn’s hearing is getting worse

Well shit.

Ugh dammit Quinn you frustrate me. FFS boy TELL YOUR SISTER. It’ll hurt her a bit but. It so much once she sees how you feel about Jude. Right now she’s missing those signals ..barely. Mom, not so much but she’s uncomfortable about broaching the subject with Quinn. Probably as much as he is with her. Out with you!

I see the game Bree and Jude are playing. It’s the only way Jude can see Quinn. I think Bree knows without being told. At least way more than mom does although I suspect she’s aware too. I wouldn’t be shocked if she found Quinn’s journal and after seeing the moochy pic between Jude and Quinn, decided it best to leave it be. Swapping pornos for a soccer sports mag for a closeted gay boy is one thing. Confiscating his journal is an entirely different matter and wager she knew that in advance.

Time to come clean and embrace it bud..

Will and Miles are spot on. Quinn’s mom is not present. When she is, she doesn’t listen for his side of the story before dropping the hammer and doling out punishment. Jude is beginning to really win me over. Brad and Mar, will likely hook up but I dunno if it’ll last. THOSE friends seem 💯 superficial to me because they too don’t listen. They too also judge before hearing Quinn’s side. Granted, Quinn hasn’t helped one bit. Unfortunately I am beginning to feel like Bree could guilty of doing the same.

This kid is as bad as a woman 😂

Ok I was worried things were going to take this turn. I actually expected Quinn to punch Taylor at the theater. I didn’t expect him to punch Brad. Before this chapter I would’ve said Quinn was really starting to sound like Marissa at this point and while completely justified in doing so, it begin to negatively affect his life. Now however, he’s starting to snap. Everyone is justified in being concerned. Great chapter.

Ok ok I’ll behave…maybe.. 😂 sigh…damn that boy. No I’m talking about Taylor cameraboy. I knew he was bad news. He just wants Quinn’s ass.

“Happy traaaaiils to you…..” lol 🤤

But that’s what a confused gay closeted teenager does. They waffle and live in denial until they accept it. Quinn is almost about to give in. It might be out of shear frustration at the inability to resist it, but it doesn’t matter. All Quinn needs is a push and a supporting endorsement so he doesn’t feel terrifyingly alone. I think Jude is that person but since he’s still new to Quinn, Quinn is terrified of the reaction of those he loves most, his family. I think however, he has nothing to be afraid of with them. Jude isn’t going anywhere. I DO think however, that he and Cameraboy have history. Perhaps they’re ex’s. I think that Jude is a better softer fit for Quinn. From what I’ve seen, Cameraboy (can’t remember his name) isn’t after a relationship. He’s after a boy toy and thinks Quinn might fit..pun intended lol 😂. Anyway, I think things work out but not without some fallout. I think Brad and Bree hook up. I think Mar falls off her pedestal. This was a great chapter. I enjoyed the banter between the 3. Jude certainly has Quinn figured out. Quinn however hadn’t a clue about himself or Jude. I think after the dinner table conversation, Bree might be putting things together too. She knows her brother better that Quinn does himself.

Man Bre certainly doesn’t have any inhibitions with her brother around nor does she wait either. Whole lotta good it’ll do her

I felt like I was there, being played by liquor and then being caught in a compromising situation just like Quinn. You wrote that chapter so well

Lived in Raleigh for 15 yrs

Oh my dear boy Quinn, how I can relate back then so many years ago. Sigh.. good character development so far. I’m looking forward to more

Great chapter!!!

OMG I so called it. Well parts and way. Jonah is certainly very lucky to have Carla and Karen and the Kildaire clan. Karen makes me miss NC where I lived for 15 years and true southern sweet tea and hush puppies done right and pulled pork smoked Eastern Carolina Style and sigh…I’m getting fat just thinking of this shit. You’re right Summer. “The term “roofies” is a little bit complicated. The word first appeared on the scene as a street name for a drug called Rohypnol (flunitrazepam). Rohypnol belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It’s usually prescribed to promote sleep or prep your body for anesthesia, which it does by slowing down the functioning of your central nervous system. Rohypnol became known as “roofies” or “the date rape drug” because sexual predators used it to spike people’s drinks, incapacitating them so they couldn’t fight back. Rohypnol is no longer the most popular drug being used for this purpose, but the term stuck. Today, someone who says they were “roofied” could have had their drink contaminated with any number of substances. The drugs change, but the goal — sexual assault — remains the same “ (https://health.clevelandclinic.org/symptoms-of-being-roofied) series crime and that hopefully will be a final nail in the coffin for Victor and his pos parents. Since it was Will who was the victim, Will’s parents can ask to have charges pressed and Jonah won’t have to even be present for any of that drama to take place. As for Jonah’s situation, sigh…that poor boy certainly got one on the scoreboard with that zinger to Irene. The fact Karen approved of it and also got the awkwardness of Jonah coming out to Karen out of the way in one shot really will help Jonah’s healing process because Karen didn’t shame him but affirmed him and that lifts a huge ton of pressure off of his shoulders. Yes once this dust settles I’d love to see Jonah bring Will down to meet Karen. I have a feeling given how the drama was/will be aired out how Victor provoked and through the first punch on Jonah, hopefully the NC Court will see Jonah was reacting defensively, but not without some admonition towards the Kildaires. Perhaps Karen can testify how Jonah is better around them idk.

I must agree the comparison of Josh and Kevin to dogs was hilarious. I loved the humor throughout this chapter. I love the character building here too. Well done. Things are about to get interesting…

I literally busted out loud laughing at that scene thinking the same thing

Oh no… that said I kinda figured this twist. A couple of observations though that might seem minor or maybe not. First, kudos on the character development especially with the history with ex’s and parents that have passed away. Including that history is critical to the character development imo. Secondly, Josh seems to act more like a sophomonre or maybe even a freshman than a junior maturity wise but again ur might just be a minor thing. As for the confusion I say Sean gets to decide. Robert should the reality to Josh that Sean is out of Josh’s league by maturity he’s shown so far.,Sean and Tj seem like a good fit. Josh needs to find some his age and maturity. Other than that this story is really good

Exactly. They’re teenagers. Overgrown toddlers. There’s little emotional control. Even less accountability for their actions anymore these days. Not justifying shit here. Just pointing it out

Omg !!! Everything is happening so quickly. So many variables and loose ends that can change the course of what is likely to happen. I think Phillipe is right however. Victor gets charged with assault and trespassing but he gets a stay in the hospital because Jonah knocked him out Victor can’t say shit about his phone giving the others the time to find incriminating evidence on Victor & Jonah arrested temporarily because victor’s parents try to press charges but withdraw them after something juicy is found on Victor’s phone that Victor’s parents don’t want out. Somehow Vienna uses it as blackmail to Victor’s folks ..Hell I have no idea 😆

Great intro chapter. I’m hoping this story gets completed. On to chapter 2

More please. 😂

Fair assessment
