Thank you! Hope you like the rest of the series too.

In fact I have edited chapters I need to post, but once again, you got ahead of me. 😃

I finally caught up with you. These are updated chapters. I made some minor updates and fixes for Millennium and Poor Mans Son and reposted the chapters. Enjoy.

That would be so boring

September 23, 2003 Tribeca New York, NY Brad I was lying in bed, panting from having yet another amazing round of sex with Jake. “It doesn’t get better than that,” he said, making me smile. “No, it doesn’t,” I agreed. We lay there peacefully, while I let my mind drift as I pondered his statement. When I’d been with a guy in the past, that would have been a less-than-honest statement, because in the back of my mind I’d compare that guy to Robbie and he’

Bitty was JJs natural mother. I love it when you’re anal. 😀

Bitty wasn’t diagnosed, but she clearly had issues. And her mother was a psycho.

Thanks so much. I’ve been watching your comments as you tear through the saga. I have a bunch of edits to upload for stories in your path. It’s a race to see if I’ll have time to do that before you get there. 😀

Very good points

My thoughts exactly

September 22, 2003 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will I smiled at Zach as I walked over to him, neither one of us saying anything. It seemed to take forever for me to actually reach him, and when I did, I just embraced him like he was my refuge, and I felt him hugging me back just as strongly. We remained like that, gripped together, for what seemed like a blissful eternity, like we were letting our souls reconnect before the rest of us followed. “I missed yo

I have great respect for those who can overcome abuses, drugs or otherwise

I hardly think that showing someone with an ecstasy hangover is glorifying drug use. 🙄 I appreciate that, but consider this. Most of the people on this site have had at least an experimental phase with drugs or alcohol, one that probably coincided with their late teens and early 20's. To ignore that, and have these men (and women) behave as if they are pure as the driven snow when it comes to drug use, is in my mind a huge insult to those we have lost because of narcotics. With Will, at least at this point, drugs are a fun way to occasionally enhance his partying, which is what I did when I was younger, and what many of you did as well. What's interesting to me is that we've dealt with casual drug use (Brad and Robbie both did ecstasy), but then again, they were older when they did that. I'd love to have Will chime into this forum and go Brad on all of us for implying that he's too young and immature to party. 😀

You couldn't have mentioned that a bunch of chapters back when Carullo took JJ on the subway? 😡

Someone in Will's age range (17-22) who has a lot of money and who is popular is going to run into the drug scene constantly. He's at a fashion party in NYC (which was the home of Studio 54!) and he's not going to be around drugs? I think that casual drug use is part of his life, just as it mostly likely is with Darius, Ryan, and John. I think that extrapolating that into a "drug problem" at this stage is a stretch. If his drug use was impacting his studies or his relationships, I'd classify it as a problem, but it hasn't done that.

The subways are awesome, or at least some of them. 😃

Grand and Stef were trying to get Will to leave because they knew Zach was there.

September 21, 2003 Tribeca New York, NY Brad “Did you tell JJ you were coming?” Jake asked as the car stopped in front of the condo. “If I didn’t it’s a little late now, isn’t it?” I teased, as we grabbed our bags from the driver and dragged them into the condo building. He rolled his eyes at me. “I called him and told him.” “I was hoping we were on his approved visitor list,” he said. “If we’re not, it’s just too fucking bad,” I growled

September 20, 2003 The Four Seasons Restaurant New York, NY Will “I’m so glad you decided to stay over,” Patrick said, which was really sweet. In the end, the plans had changed, and Wade and Alex had decided to go to Boston instead of New York. They’d decided it was probably easier to provide security there, and it seemed that Matt had been pretty freaked out about the exploding Suburban and had all but demanded that Wade come home. My father, Jake, and Grand

I'd say that's true with the exception of JP.

How is Will being slutty?

I can’t see Elizabeth having Wade killed. It’s just too far even for her.

September 20, 2003 Blacksburg, VA Wade We were driving quickly away from the nursing home when my logical mind kicked in, finally overcoming the shock of seeing both of Alex’s parents killed. “Wait,” I said to Jorge and Alex. “Excuse me?” Alex asked, amazed that I wouldn’t want to escape from here as quickly as possible. “I think it may be important for us to see this through, and to be there when the authorities arrive,” I suggested. Alex stared at me

I think that's a good point, but I also think Wade inherently rebels against having to fight a family member, even if it is his mother.
