Although this thread was B.H. (Before Hiatus) 2.5 years ago, I can't believe I didn't see the signs about Brandon back then. Has anyone else changed their opinion's of Tommy Jr...I mean Milo.

Meeko, dude. I don't understand what you're going through. How can you be obsessed like this? Constantly checking on GA? Refreshing the WT index page, hoping that a new chapter might popup since the last time you checked, what, 20 minutes ago? Dreaming about it, really?

Nice. Clever use of Jame's nickname

Good theory Rick. I could see Jame reinforcing Milo's fear by commenting poorly about Nelson turning away from Milo at school. There's a real strong potential of us wanting to smack both Milo & Nelson in the back of their heads if they fall victim to their own fears and lack of communication. The good news with WT (versus some of the other Domluka stories) is that friends like Caleb do meddle. Many of the characters in TLW, DD, & ITFB don't stick their noses in their friends business like they should (example: Tony not telling Owen that Aiden was gay 'It's not my place to say'.... pleaseeeee). I have hope (with the ending of Ch 17) that Caleb will push Nelson to communicate with Milo so that they can clear up what's really happening. Take Care®, Vic

Welcome Back Sophie & Happy Belated Birthday!!! I almost emailed you when I realized you weren't replying to any threads. Dom restarted ITFB on on Jan 1st by posting Ch 25. Dom restarted WT on Jan 11th by posting Ch 12. I'm not sure if you were around, but there's also Hello Stupid Ch1-4. You might enjoy those Take Care®, Vic

Perhaps WT was dated pre-cellphones & pre-internet?? I can't recall whether there's been mention of either. Maybe Dom wrote WT to be timeless. EDIT: I found a reference to cell phone use in Chapter 1.

Welcome Credlin! Many of Dom's stories leave us with unanswered questions (which is half the fun). I don't recall Dom saying that there was going to be a sequel to TOSOM, but the ending left that a possibility. Who knows, some day his creative juices might take him back to this one. But in the meantime, hope you're enjoying With Trust. Hope to see you in the forums! Take Care®, Vic

It appears Caleb should have been on an option for the question 'Who'll pass information from Milo to Nelson?'

Caleb yes, but Jame? No way. Jame is fully aware of what's going on in school towards Nelson. If he really 'cared' about the Milo/Nelson relationship, he'd let Milo know. I don't believe Milo is fully aware of the extent of what Nelson is going through. If he did, he'd make some attempt at contact. Another thought...if Milo were grounded, how was he able to go pick up Jame? I do believe at some point Jame will see that Nelson makes Milo happy and will also assist in getting them back together. Jame may never become friends with Nelson, but he does seem to be a real friend to Milo and will want Milo happy.

Very true, Brandon's just forward. All Brandon knows at this point is that Nelson is gay and that he tried getting into Milo's pants by getting him drunk (a similar technique that Brandon himself uses). For all he knows, Nelson would be up for messing around (the tent in Nel's pants weren't lying). At least Brandon got a kiss. I'll have to read the story a few more times before I make more commentary.

You guys are probably right. Me? Reading too much into a Dom story? Guilty as charged Take Care®, Vic

abnormal? Did he give anything for it or recommend anything? Hopefully it's just a we'll check again next year kind of abnormal.

Don't get me wrong, I truly believe that Milo & Nelson will end up together in the end. I just think that Nelson's personality will allow him some bumps in the road. Not necessarily with Brandon. I mean, even when he was stressing out over Milo's situation, he still has thoughts like this..

Perhaps he was 'acting' to a degree. It wouldn't be the first time someone faked their innocence or their lack of sexual experience. Again, Brandon & Milo had to have some kinda on interaction in the past. It may not necessarily have been sexual, but something happened between those two.

Agreed. I think we're supposed to think it's Jame, but my sense is that Jame is a much more complicated character like Dennis. They're both kinda like pineapples, rough/tough exteriors, but sweet on the inside. Jame protects his friend Milo, like Caleb protects Nelson. --- Dom usually writes characters where it's obvious whether we're supposed to like them or hate them. When there's any questions (i.e. vagueness) it probably means they're more complicated. Mr. Trust on the otherhand ....That's why I voted for him :-)

In the WT Ch 16 thread, there were a couple common questions that many people pondered. Vote your choices before Ch 17 comes out! Take Care

I hadn't thought about that, but it does sound plausable, no matter how distasteful it could be . Milo's biggest fear was his father finding out about his attraction to males and instead of fighting he chose to 'flee' by sending Nelson up the river. As far as Nelson drinking? I don't think so. I believe Nelson hit rock bottom in Ch 16 and his defiant crossing out of 'Free' on his locker was the start of his moving onward and upward on the matter. Is he due for more grief and crap? Of course, this is high school. But inside he's strong.

bleh...that was painful to read. I was surprised at what Brandon knew. I wonder if Jame really was the one to give up secret? At least the ending provided a little bit of hope. bleh...

Welcome Fizzy! Domluka started posting With Trust on Feb 1st, 2006. Holy Mole, that's almost exactly 4 years ago! Chapter 11 came out on April 24th, 2006.... a slight hiatus.....and then Chapter 12 came out on Jan 11th, 2010. For many of us, the wait was well worth it . Take Care®, Vic

"redneck hell" - Alabama "the gay mecca USA" - San Francisco "the middle of nowhere" - Nebraska

Good prediction. Even though Jame is kind of a jerk to Nelson, he does really seem to care about Milo and doesn't want Milo to get hurt. That's good friendship loyalty. Knowing what Jame knows, it's logical for him to be suspicious about Nelson's motives (especially since Milo is Richy Rich). Emily should also be a good influence between Milo & Thompson.

With the drama of the ending, I totally forgot about this 'moment' until I re-read Ch 15...

bodgy...You can't find the cliffhanger in Ch 15?????? or ch 15? http://domluka.gayauthors.org/trust/trust-15.php
