I so love this story... I look forward to each new xhapter. Glad Brian finally came around... he's so hard headed
Author's Response:
Thank you. I'm so glad you are enjoying the tale. Brian has always cared for Justin; he just didn't want anyone to know

So glad that Vic had a talk with Brian. It seems to have worked.
Author's Response:
I love Vic's role in the story.

Oh Boy, Brian Justin is going to need help. No Michael or Lindsay
Author's Response:
Brian is going to have to let Justin help- they will have to figure it out

Date: Jul 28, 2016 3:07 am Title: Chapter 22
Great chapter. It was nice of Ted and Emmett to offer assistance with getting Brian home. They're going to need it. Justin handled finding out the news just right. Brian was in a much better mood once he got there.
Author's Response:
Ted and Emmett care for Brian - they want to help- they are not out to change his mind or tell him that Justin needs to live in New York.
Date: Jul 25, 2016 3:06 pm Title: Chapter 21
Please bring Justin home before Brian goes off the deep end with Michael
Author's Response:
I think Brian is getting tired of Michael and Justin is just re-entering his life - we are safe for now

The only saving grace was Ben, otherwise Mikey might have gotten into trouble for babying Brian. In the meantime Brian's going to have to deal with Emmett and Ted. Though he might welcome Emmett's visit if he brings food.
Author's Response:
Brian's relationship with Ted and Emmett is very different. Ted respects Brian and has become a good friend. Emmett is also Brian's friend and is probably the one only of the gang that doesn't "want" something from him. Emmett understands Brian and I think keeps his counsel to himself ( most of the time)

Date: Jul 25, 2016 12:37 am Title: Chapter 21
Loving this story. Still hate Michael he's annoying and I want to bash him over the head.....
Author's Response:
Thank you for writing. I'm not a fan of Michael or Lindsay and this story shows it. I think Ben kept Michael in line but I still think we have to worry about Michael.
Date: Jul 22, 2016 3:29 am Title: Chapter 20
Hi, I love both updates. Please let Justin get back before they send him home. Bria really wants Justin to take care of him. He doesn't want Michael around and I'm ok with that. I would like Ben and Brian to be really good friends. I hope Gus can come see his daddy soon. Please post more soon you're doing a great job.
Author's Response:
thanks- Justin needs to get home and then he will be surprised when he sees Brian. Will Brian let Justin take care of him, that is the question.

Date: Jul 21, 2016 1:21 pm Title: Chapter 20
Justin really needs to get there fast. He's yet to hear about the break and needs to be a buffer between Brian and his well intended friends.
Author's Response:
Now the question is will Brian tell him how he broke his leg ( dreaming about Justin in the shower)

Date: Jul 20, 2016 1:51 am Title: Chapter 19
Things were going so well. He was going to go home, then he breaks his leg! What will Justin come home to.
Author's Response:
Justin will deal- Brian is going home just not as capable as he thought he'd be.
Date: Jul 19, 2016 4:40 am Title: Chapter 18
Awesome updates. The Boys need each other. Lindsay needs to go home. Please post more soon!!
Author's Response:
The boys need each other and I still dislike Lindsay. Updated now

Date: Jul 18, 2016 11:59 pm Title: Chapter 18
I'm glad to see that Justin told Lindsay off. Justin needs to get back to Brian before something happens.
Author's Response:
My dislike for LIndsay and Michael is obvious in this series, however, I do believe that I base this on canon.
Date: Jul 17, 2016 1:43 am Title: Chapter 17
i love this and have been reading all along and not reviewing bad reader sorry for that. I hope Justin gets back soon I think Brian misses him for more than the obvious reasons
Author's Response:
thank you so much for taking the time to review It means so much to me when readers comment. AS a writer it keeps me writing to know that folks enjoy my work. Brian does miss him. If you read the first story- Falling off the Cliff, you will gain some additional insight into Brian's thoughts.

Date: Jul 16, 2016 4:01 pm Title: Chapter 17
Boy, I didn't realize how many people were such a pain. Ted was borderline. lol. At least he had Sunshine to help with his mood.
Author's Response:
Everyone is a critic- as Brian often says- everyone thinks they know what's best for him but few let him decide

Date: Jul 11, 2016 10:26 pm Title: Chapter 16
At least he has those contracts. That should make a difference.
Author's Response:
Justin has soemthing to look forward to - ( work wise) but at this point, he would venture back to Pittsburgh without them. Hopefully the contracts will help convince Brian that he can work anywhere.
Date: Jul 11, 2016 9:54 pm Title: Chapter 16
Hi,
I'm loving this story and I feel for Brian and Justin. Justin is the first person Brian has ever really put all of his trust to stay. Justin doesn't really need anything from Brian. Brian found someone who just wants o be with him and that scares him. I'm wondering what Brian is going to try hiding from Justin when he gets back? How much pain is Brian hiding?
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. Brian does trust Justin but he is still reluctant to be totaly open. More drama ahead- that's all I'm saying

Date: Jul 04, 2016 4:20 pm Title: Chapter 15
I'm glad to see he's missing Justin. Nice of Vic to visit. lol.
Author's Response:
Brian is finally getting smart about Justin- and Justin is finally hearing what Brian isn't saying ( but doing)
Date: Jul 03, 2016 2:15 pm Title: Chapter 15
This was an eye-opening update. I love the fact that Vic was able to get Brian to open an admit to himself that he has a problem. Brian has always needed Justin, and I know Justin has made Brian a stronger man. I do not think Justin or the Girls thought about them leaving would hurt Brian,Especially taking Gus away. I think they always think Brian is so strong and doesn't need anyone but that isn't true. Justin was the only one who could see how lonely the real Brian was. Please update again soon.
Author's Response:
I really like using Vic to help Brian see what he is doing. When Vic is talking to Brian after surgery ( in the bar) he pushes his envelope a little there. He tells him to take charge of his life and I thought this was a great way to use Vic. Brian is a very private man and doesn't want to share his pain; although Justin has a better window into Brian's psyche. thanks for your comments and loyal reading.

Justin is away and Brian has to deal with very uncomfortable questions.
Maybe he will be honest with himself and realize that something is wrong and he should take time to think about that.
Author's Response:
Brian knows in his heart what he feels, he jsut doens't like to admit there may be problems in his ideal life

Date: Jun 20, 2016 7:27 pm Title: Chapter 14
Justin will be coming back. Now might be a good time for him to call and remind Brian.
Author's Response:
I don't think Brian expects him to stay in New York- at least for now- He expects him to come back for the time being
Date: Jun 19, 2016 10:25 pm Title: Chapter 14
Hi,
I love the update and I feel for Brian. I'm hoping Charles doesn't make it so Brian can't go home. I'm hoping Justin will come back home because Brian needs him. Please, Jennifer, don't do anything to mess up the relationship Brian and Justin up. I hope Justin is able to do something special for Molly. Is Charle's going to be someone good for Brian to talk too?
Author's Response:
Brian is not going to admit that he might have an issue with drugs. Justin is already preparing to return to Pittsburgh and no one really feels that this is the right move. I think this is going to be the harder of the fights
Date: Jun 14, 2016 6:31 pm Title: Chapter 13
I can't even imagine Brian going to Chemical Dependency unit; he will go ballistic.
Author's Response:
Brian swims in the river Denial a lot

Date: Jun 13, 2016 4:53 pm Title: Chapter 13
Nice chapter. Wonder what Justin will come back to when he returns. Will they try to force Brian into the CD unit? Can they do that? Without Justin there what havoc can Mikey cause?
Author's Response:
The only way Brian would be forced into a CD unit is by the courts ( ie he did something illegal) so if he goes it will be voluntary. There can be a lot of havoc without his gate keeper there to help.

Hi, I love the update and I've missed this story. Oh, I'm so glad that Emmett came to see Brian and is being a true friend. I'm hoping that Emmett will come back to see Brian back with Gus. I'm hoping while Justin is away Daphne may come back and talk to Brian about Justin. I want her looking out for Justin. I do not blame Brian for not wanting to do the CD program. I don't know that it would work because I don't think that is the type of Program that Brian needs.
Brian knows he has emotional problems and he knows he doesn't know how to deal with his emotions. Justin is the first person to really feel the world. He knows Justin can hurt him. But I've always known the bashing did more Damage to Brian then he will admit, plus the bombing and then Justin leaving him again. I know that Justin has made some progress with getting to talk, but there is a lot more work that needs to be done. I know Brian completely loves Justin and tries to hide from Justin.
Michael, I'm glad hasn't been around and I'm hoping that Debbie will stand up to her son. I can't wait for Gus to come back see his daddy. I'm kinda hoping that Brian will be really bad while Justin is away. I know the hospital won't be able to handle Brian outburst like Justin.
Please post more soon!!
Author's Response:
I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the story and I really appreciate your commenting on each chapter. I think everyone but Michael and Lindsay appreciate Brian for the generous man that he is. I think the two of them see Brian as a stroker for their ego rather than seeing Brian the person. Be careful what you wish for-
