Aww! Craig is a little sweetie. Sad, alone, and scared. We’ve all been there, buddy. i swear… if anything bad happens to him…. 😠

Joel is stressed out to the point where he can't sleep. Roy is trying to make the best of his switching schools by joining the boy's volleyball team. He's trying to be friendly and Joel is just being broody and cold. Maybe Joel should listen to him, lighten up a bit, and actually join the baseball team that everyone wants him to join. I feel like he's cutting himself short of enjoying his senior year and possible college baseball opportunities by cutting himself off like this. It's driving a wedge in his little side romance (if you want to call it that) with Davin. If he needs a new jersey number, he can go with 71 the reverse of his old number 17 taken by that other guy. Colt and Joel were kind of acting like, well, brothers, with the teasing, banter, and playful punching. At least that side of things is looking better. As for the situation with the football players, that just spells trouble in some future chapter.

Yup, a fun fishing trip, despite Aedan getting seasick on the boat. Catching some good fish, and a late night finish to the scavenger hunt. Aedan feels a little duped by Jake for how that ended, just after they made up after the awkwardness at the end of last chapter. Things will speed up more once the vacation ends, at least.

I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far Oliver is a little slow sometimes, especially when it comes to reading people socially. He struggles with school, too. Toby got more of the smart genes in the family, while Oliver got the tall and sporty genes. He's not the sharpest guy in the high school. There's plenty of boys Logan could be interested in, though. Toby seems to be more aware of what's going on at least, since he's closer with Logan than Oliver & Cody are with Logan at this point.

February 14 2019 Weeks passed, with Cody and I keeping our relationship secretive at school. You have no idea how hard it was to not kiss my amazing hot boyfriend. Seeing him (and other boys) shirtless in the locker room before and after basketball practice continued to give me an embarrassing boner, which can be hard to hide when wearing athletic shorts. Anyways, enough about that. I had to leave at 10:15 for a basketball game against the Yellowjackets from Lamar High School in the next co

Neal is an interesting character. He is incredibly well guarded. But Killian was able to play him like a fiddle. We’ll see if he sends the files over like he said. We’ll also possibly be seeing him and other escorts (possibly Jake as Killian seems to have caught on to my theory there) at the Halloween masquerade party.

July 2 2017 I stood on the edge of the fishing boat, feeling a bit seasick. “You okay?” Jake asked me. I nodded. Our friendship was still a bit tense after the previous evening’s events. We hadn’t talked much since the shower incident. “I’m feeling a little sick.” “Seasick?” “Seasick,” I groaned a little, resisting the gag reflex. “First time on a boat at sea?” “Uh huh,” I nodded. “I’ve only been on boats on a calm lake.” The sky was cloudy and dri

Was nice to get to see a playful side of Killian. Feels like he’s been more serious and bottled up since the first book with his investigations and trauma. At the upscale elegant Halloween Masquerade Ball, I feel like Killian will get the escort client experience from Micah. He’s likely been to those kinds of events before during his time as an escort and will know how it all works. Killian of course will have to keep an eye out for Jake (who might be escorting someone there himself based on previous chapters).

Yup, Catholicism doesn’t recognize same sex marriage. The issue is a hot button among different branches of Christianity. But the Catholic Church cares more about communion, praying the rosary, and holy water baptism than if there’s any gay people attending mass. Kyle’s quote “I don’t want Cody killing me!” explains his position on kissing Oliver. Their town only has a few thousand people so things do get around. He’s certainly careful at home as well as at the local high school. We’ll see how long he can hide it.

The new chapter is up now. Expect to have a new chapter up around this time each Friday afternoon in US Mountain Time! (mentioned in my earlier comment as well) Same time as with my other story "Finding Myself" being posted every Wednesday afternoon.

December 2 2018 In the morning, I went to Sunday mass at the Catholic Church with my brother and Logan. Toby was happy for me having an official boyfriend now. Logan seemed to ignore me. It’s weird, he hasn’t said much to me the last few days. At home, I had to get started on my homework even though playing video games and texting with Cody seemed a hundred times more interesting. Late afternoon, mom and dad arrived home. I ran downstairs to greet them. We’re a bit of a mixed fam

“It would have been nice to see a few of those home runs counting on our side of the scoreboard for a change,” I see you, Gavin, trying to use Joel’s ego to persuade him… I seriously hope it works. i also think Gavin senses the stuff happening between Davin and Joel. Given some of those comments on the driveway. Trace’s man-to-man talk with Joel on the horse ride was the best part of the chapter though. Trace is a great guy taking him in and having so much support for him. Never seen that kind of reaction from a teenager when offered a cell phone and car access… xD

Aedan and Jake are 13 & 1/2 years old at this point. Sexuality and orientation are things they are just starting to understand and figure out as they get older. We’re only seeing Aedan’s point of view so who knows what is going on in Jake’s head? XD. That age also comes with a lot of insecurity. Jake is a bit of a late bloomer while Aedan has hit some growth spurts and is further ahead in his male development, so there’s a little jealousy from Jake that came out in the shower which made things awkward for both of them. Those bruises are certainly noticeable while he doesn’t have a shirt on, which seems to be frequent while at the beach.

June 30 2017 Friday was pretty relaxed. It was a nice day and I practically dragged Jake out of bed at 6AM to go out and see the old bones because I really wanted to draw them. We left the house after getting dressed and eating some breakfast. “Why did you drag me out here?” Jake asked, groaning as we stepped on the cold wet sand with bare feet. “Because I want to draw,” I said. “But why this early?” Jake complained. “I just wanna sleep in.” He shoved his hands in the po

The rivalry between Tempton and Fletcher is pretty intense. If Joel decides to play baseball (I have a feeling the Kepler twins will certainly try to convince him), the rivalry could get worse, with the Tempton boys pissed that their rivals got one of their best players. I was in JV baseball for a couple years back in high school so that ending scene was pretty sad :’( I’m sure the War Hawk boys will take Joel in if he lets them.

The story has been completed in my word documents, so I won't be spoiling anything too specific, but the self defense will come into play again in the future. Yup, unfortunately. Garrett is their little ringleader in this situation. Thanks for your support. New chapters will be coming every Friday.

Thursday, November 29, 2018 Jacksonville, Colorado “Oliver.... dude...” Cody Hafer, my best friend said, breaking me out of my daze. I shook my head. “Thanks, Cody,” I said. “Sorry, I'm just tired after staying up late last night..” “You don’t look tired,” Cody said. “What’s wrong?” Cody put his hand on my shoulder and I blushed a little. “Nothing,” I said, standing up from the lunch table. I put my lunchbox in my backpack and put it over my shoulder. “I gotta get t

Oliver is an Asian American teenager who struggles with his sexuality as he falls in love with his best friend Cody. He lives in a small town where he attends high school and plays baseball and basketball as he learns who he can trust as he comes out of the closet. Note: This story had been posted earlier, but significant changes were made. New content was added between certain chapters and some of the story structure has changed. The story will also be finished this time! XD.

June 28 2017, Whalebone, Massachusetts “Dude, this is gonna be great,” Jake said to me. Jake sat down on his bed in our room in his family’s beach house. The room had 2 twin size beds with a nightstand in between. The room had a beachy yellow color on the walls and sailboat pictures hanging. “Yeah,” I grinned, hanging up a few shirts. “Thanks for inviting me, bro. It means a lot” “No problem. This week was gonna be boring without a friend,” Jake laid down. “Ugh I’m tired after

The story of a teenage art prodigy named Aedan Jackson as he grows up bisexual. He has a best friend named Jake Grant that he becomes close with. (Previously known as "Aedan's Story". This is a polished, updated, and rewritten version!)

Ted is only 15?! Razi has some explaining to do. He may not know Ted’s story but most if not all 15 year old kids very much look under-18. As for Razi’s age… if he was Killian’s age (18) the situation would be more excusable, but Razi is more likely closer in age to Micah and Paul, which would be a significant age (and maturity) gap and would mean Razi is taking advantage of this poor kid. Chris seems cool. She will hopefully be a useful partner on this case. This case might make her more interested in law enforcement and detective work rather than dissuade her like her dad intends 😅

Welp, Killian is beginning his next investigation in DC. This time he has a partner. Killian made a promise to not take unnecessary risks. I’m assuming he’s going to break that again and get into a near death situation as usual.

An awkward hot sweaty high school party. Davin and Joel ditch out early and talk about their kiss. I wonder who else in this town (I believe it’s called Fletcher?) knows about Davin being gay (other than Gavin his twin bro)? I wonder if Colt knows about Davin’s crush on him. That might “ruin the friendship”. Davin said “should kiss you anyway” (guys don’t kill me over this reference) to forget about Colt and now he likes Joel a lot, and he seems to like Davin back. Javin is a thing now!

It seems Jake might be involved in this high end escort business given the clues in his room. That could explain all his extra cash.

Given the other comments here, I guess I am in the minority here. Killian’s feelings here are understandable. Yeah, he was a bit impatient to get Micah to talk, an a bit naive to think of the relationship as a magical Disney “prince charming” romance. But, I do wish Micah had talked about this before the two of them had sex in the hotel room that morning. Prostitution (if you want to call it that) is a messy thing, and Killian should have learned about that huge part of Micah’s past before surrendering his virginity. Ideally, this talk should have happened when the two of them agreed to break down the walls after Micah’s ultimatum at the diner a few chapters ago. Micah was being hypocritical telling Killian to open up and let him in when Micah wasn’t willing to do the same about his own past until Ted and Razi kind of forced it out. As for Paul, I’m assuming Killian is going to be investigating this murder to find out who killed him, and probably learn more about the darker side of the “high-end escort” business.
