I struggle to get started into that one for some reason. I can’t seem to get past the first few paragraphs of the first chapter. As for this story, there is nothing worse than a vindictive heartbroken person. They will scorch the earth you walk on
This is on Chris. His constant and persistent unannounced arrivals everywhere were bound to cause a problem. Yes Derrick should’ve just said he’s with Tanner from the start and been done with it. But even then, I don’t think Chris is the type to let go. Well now he’s an enemy again and the sad thing is, his colors have shown now for sure as quick as he is to get his back up on anyone. He seems the vindictive type. Derrick sweetheart, you have a big problem now
Well shit. *sniff*. That hit close to home. I know Derrick was just venting and yeah, it was coming at some point but I fear this was just a shower of a soon to be larger storm brewing. Something is gonna happen with that leech friend of his. Did he hear and witness that whole thing with Derrick and his Mom and now he’s jealous of what they have in the strength and love of their relationship? What about the fallout of Derrick missing the ceremony? You know? That might actually be a good thing because if actually stood proudly on stage he might’ve gotten more flak from the students the next day. I feel for Derrick and his mom though. That’s an uncomfortable spot to be in
New to the story, as well and Chris’s behavior is suspect to me. As a matter of fact so is Tanner’s. He sounds like he knows Chris a Whole lot more than he’s letting on but Chris kinda spilled the beans on Tanner with his first harassment of Derrick, sounding like HE knows Tanner more than Tanner realizes. My suspicion is they had a fling. It ended amicably. But it here’s something else going on that Tanner is hiding. His family treats him like a small threat to their social status. Chris’s father ditching him at th party might be a tell too. Why would he do that unless he knew Chris’s tendencies and didn’t approve and wanted to distance himself as well. Something smells and Derrick is about to get a whiff
Ok so as Chris kept hovering I had a suspicion he had a crush on Derrick bc he’s stripped in front of him twice in the gym locker room painstakingly slow and is dropping mind game deflecting nuggets against Tanner when he’s not around. Something is gonna happen y’all
Ok I know I’m not done with this story yet but Tanner has gotten fucked twice by his boy and he’s yet to return the favor and I’m waiting all hot and bothered over here!!
Comi you cheeky dog you! I’m still catching up on these stories. I need to read Final Hour, Someone for Me, and Opposite Reaction yet. Having all these stories come together on the same stormy night is utter brilliance.
If it’s consistent, you should try and find out the cause. Could be a good allergy..could Be something else more serious just beginning to show. It might be worth talking with your doc
Aaahh mixed tapes and surprise messages at the end. The good ole days and throwbacks. So this now begs the question….was one of the artists on said tape Steve Perry? If so, which song? For some reason Foolish Heart comes to mind…
If only I had a Gramms back at Ariel’s age. Sigh…I feel like the shock of the discovery for Gramms a few chapters back was a disappointment but that disappointment was not stronger than her desire to see her grandson happy…truly happy.
Shit I’M as stiff as rebar right now with anticipation. How the hell do you write so well? It’s as if I AM Ariel. The nerves and second guessing and overthinking thinking and ..just all of it. I was literally this nervous little lonely kid as a freshman who couldn’t take his eyes off the soccer stud a yr above me. Adonis he was for sure.
For me it’s a close toss up between Zach in My Only Escape and Randy here. If I met someone like this back in high school…sigh….it only..life would’ve been so different
