Robbie is blind to Rory who is so sweet on him. It’ll break his heart when he learns about Nathan. As for Fran, until the argument tonight, she was in denial. Now I worry if she will be vindictive.

Ok Robbie succeeded in ending it with Fran and Nathan is right on both scores that breakups never end easily and she will get over it eventually. How he handled it wasn’t the best but i suppose that’s to be expected. I think Robbie asking if Daniel can go to the game is a huge towards building a closer relationship with him and it’ll earn some brownie points with Sue. Speaking of the game, I worry Rory has a crush on Robbie and wanted to get him away from school and alone but felt pressured to say yes on allowing Robbie to invite Daniel. His behavior still has me thinking he has it bad for Robbie but is terrified to make the first move more than this invite to baseball. I think he might’ve thought baseball would be good because of Robbie’s feigned interest for show with Alex. Speaking of Alex, I think he’s far from done with Robbie. Alex is used to getting no taking what he wants and he wants more of Robbie. I think he pulled that punch on Robbie so as to only glance it and it not hurt much

I’d be hard pressed to deny Nathan were I in Robbie’s shoes. After eye candy is eye candy.

Again Fran with the very loud sexuality suggestive comments for all to hear. She’s sounding more like a slut and it’s unflattering to her and Robbie. I would be pissed at her for her for her continued disregard and lack of respect of Robbie. As cute as Nathan is, he’s not Robbie’s type and Robbie is too Googley eyed to see it. This invite to Toronto is a big step for Rory. Robbie needs to take it.

True she is but it can fail.

Definitely. I think we all had an adult growing up like that or Mimi the Drew Carey Show. In my case, she was both (Shudders)

You’re welcome. I should mention I’ve read a few chapters again. The innocence and raw emotions are captured so well. Maybe it’s because I see myself in Mike idk.

Sigh.. Myles your voice is so beautiful

Ooooooh!!! Liam you are soo sweet when you try. Sigh. Mike don’t be a fool. This was a brilliantly written chapter. I felt both boy’s emotions through their behavior alone. The anxiety and fear. The memories and heartache..and then Liam just did it! I wanna squeal I’m so happy for them right now

There fixed it

Omg Robbie!!! Dude!! Text him back!!!!!!! Sigh. Ok rant over. Now on to Fran….wth . First she was VERY inconsiderate with her volume in a public place while Robbie confessed. Then to act like he never said shit was very selfish. This has me losing a lot of faith in her even potentially still being a friend once they breakup. It is my hope she knew Robbie well enough by this point in their relationship to be able to tell not only that he was struggling but being vulnerable and honest…but know she goes completely girl and selfish. If I were Robbie I would’ve walked out on her before the movie and left her there to walk home. But I’m a bit dramatic like that.🤣

Apparently my first comment needs approval by a mod. Sorry just delete it since I can’t. I’ll edit and post separately. I got lost in a moment 😂

I shall..😘

Agreed!!!! Second!!

Part of me hates to see heartbreak coming from something that is going so well like with Robbie’s relationship with Fran. To be honest, it should’ve never happened in the first place. Robbie should’ve just kept her at friend level. He’d have her support and guidance always especially if he felt he could trust her enough to come out to her from the start. Now, I feel he’s gonna lose her as friend too because he’s going to admit he’s been lying to her this whole time and something tells me that is what is gonna hurt her worse. The only way he saves this is try to win her sympathies but I don’t see that. I have a feeling she can be very spiteful when angry. As for this chapter, it’s nice to see Robbie be honest with himself finally. I still have some reservations about Nathan. I think it won’t last long. Rory is who I would be pursuing. But Nathan will teach Robbie how to have confidence coming out. Then there’s the family and Alex. Before anything, the person he should talk to is Sue but this will happen after the whole thing blows up and probably save him in the end.

Weinerdog is right. Fran doesn’t deserve the heartbreak but unfortunately I feel that whole relationship is a bit of Russian Roulette. If they keep having unprotected sex, she’s gonna get pregnant. So the heartbreak is the lesser of two evils

Robbie is playing Russian roulette now. For real.

Robbie you just don’t learn do you? You blew off Rory which is a really bad idea imo, are having to keep up the act to avoid detection at home and with Fran. That exchange with Pringle is gonna come back to bite you.

Yes Alex knew damn well. I know how Robbie feels as I made these same poor decisions a predator’s manipulation at his age too. No it isn’t rape ..not really. But it isn’t really consensual either and no Robbie wasn’t anywhere near able to make a sound decision. I do admit reading this chapter was difficult because I see myself in Robbie.😔

Surprisingly good conversation between Robbie and Nathan. I will adjust my previous opinion on Nathan from my comment last chapter. This was a very insightful look at his maturity. I think he will help Robbie discover who he really is and who he needs to be for himself because he needs to be. I think Robbie is beginning to realize that. I don’t see these two being a long term item however I do see them being great friends

robbie is more than complex. I mean he IS BUT he is also very very confused about himself and without a consistent guiding role model or compass he is adrift to the whim of his emotions and being 15-16yrs old change. A lot. And often. I think the ONE person who is slighting sensing the literal danger Robbie is in is Rory. Trouble is, Rory is also in that same boat. They both see it in each other but not themselves. They’re just too scared to open up more about themselves to each other and I think the temptation is there for that. Nathan in my opinion is leagues ahead in maturity for self confidence than Robbie and while the grass is greener with Nathan, Robbie nothing will change Robbie’s mind. Alex is big trouble for Robbie but next to Fran, is the only one giving the attention he thinks he needs at the moment and it is goons go badly regardless of whether Robbie shows up on Friday night or not. Something is screaming to me that skipping Friday night with Alex will be safer. He still can skip out and should.

Robbie should have gotten Nathan’s number

Oh he’s a cutie. You have great taste…mm those lips🤤

Ok yes Robbie you had your itch scratched. Now, stay away from Alex. He oozes someone who’s used to getting what they want and if they don’t get it by asking, they take it. Forcefully. Take it from someone who made THAT mistake and didn’t learn until it was too late. You’re very naive just like I was. You need to bring your girlfriend back to the friends zone if she’ll understand why and you need to get sweet on Rory. Not Nathan. Nathan is just fun and no meaning, you my dear sweet boy, need someone who will love you.

Oh man you found a true BDSM type bear now. Well he will be anyway. I hope you don’t mind bruises Robbie because they’re coming.
