This maybe short, but it was well worth it.  We get the long awaited talk and learn several important things.  Then there is them going on a first date, that will be very interesting.

Yes, foreward progress! Brian and Justin could never be just f@ck buddies, Brian's too needy lol.  I agree completely that Justin needs a taste of independence.  I'm happy they talked.  Once they are settled then we can deal wth the dingbats and the fiddler.

Oh please let time fly...I cannot wait to find out who's the daddy. For some reason I want it to be a random trick😛. I'm just evil that way😈. Can't wait for Ethan to get his, as well as the idiot dou.

What an amazing chapter.  I like your scenero on George better then the series.  Love the pics and the storyline is to die for.  Brian and Justin together is a good sign.

Oh boy, things are getting hot.  Especially that shower scene.  But I can't wait for Ben and Mel to tell all.

Have I told you how much I LOVE this story? LOL. Okay, I know i have... but it bears repeating - I freaking LOVE IT! There are so many variances I could touch on. If I do that, I will be here in this little comment box all night! 

I loved the talk between Justin and the chinrat. Muse. Ugh. I've used that many times myself. I always shudder as I write it. Ethan is always so stale. I don't think it's possible to write him to be interesting - not even a GREAT writer like yourself! Perhaps if we didn't know him, couldn't visualize him, or hear his nasaly, whining voice - maybe, just maybe it would be possible. Let me ponder on that. Hmmm. Nope. He's still boring. LOL.

But again, and to move this revieew forward.. I love all of this chapter. Whether I like some of the characters or not - some I utterly loathe (obviously we know which ones), your characterizations and progression is amazing. The detail is immense, and I am enjoying it more than I can say. 

Thank you for another amazing chapter, Chelle. This story is utter brilliance.

As always, looking forward to more!

*Hugss*

What a mess!

So glad Daphne yelled at Ethan and hit Michael and that Deb is backing her up. Also glad that Emmett remembered what happened at Lindsay and Mel's party.

Finally, Brian is alone with Justin and will be there when he wakes up.

Great chapter!

I was wondering if Michael had instigated the relationship between Ethan and justin. If he had given Ethan $$ to do so. I'm wondering what Phoebe will do now. surely she won't sit on the info will she?? She can't! At the very least she should tell Daphne. We know that Daph will come forward with the truth of it all.

thank goodness Ben stood his ground with Michael!! That Mel was there with him as well. It's good that he had that support. He's going to need that and more as more and more truths come to light. Michael's continued obsession with Brian will be his eternal undoing and I for one look forward to his undoing! I'm hoping it's absolutely cataclysmic!!! Lindsey's too. all her machinations will also eventually come to light and they will be her undoing as well. hehehe. Soooooooo looking forward to it! *insert evil laugh*

I feel so badly for Justin and brian though. Hearing the actual truths of it all. finding out just how depraved their actions thus far have been. As angry as Brian is, he must be gutted knowing how awful his so called friends have been behind his back. Knowinghe's going to find out even more truths about them as well. Very sad for him. 

Oh I hope that B&J are able to communicate soon!!! Properly. Get everything out in teh open. HEart to heart. They are so close, and now....:( :( :(. I get that justin has all kinds of guilt. I hope he's open to listening and I REALLY hope that Brian is open to talking!

So much happening with everyone! Wow! Every chapter is exciting. Such a thrill to read. I get that chill of excitement every time I see an update!

Hope all is well with you!

Cheers,

Elaine

Phoebe is a wildcard character. She's completely loyal to Ethan but has a solid moral fiber and genuinely cares about Justin's well-being. The fact that she was there to witness a portion of Justin's high school years and his subsequent recovery plays a large role in her inner turmoil. Does she stick by her childhood friend or does she idly stand by and watch Justin mentally suffer the effects of another attack? Ordinarily I would agree that she should tell Daphne but then again, we know how Daphne will react to Michael and Ethan's machinations. Yes, she'll tell the authorities but not without popping the top on a few cans of WHOOP ASS! And based on what Phebe's overheard, Lindsay is also due a can of her own. Don't worry though; it will come to the light when least expected.

Speaking of Lindsay: My my MY she has a lot to answer for. Her downfall will be fairly swift but she most assuredly won't give up. Neither will Michael. Both will likely give stalkers a bad name. I'm also glad that Ben is not giving Michael any more leeway. That is the one thing that always pissed me off...but I digress. I think with Mel's help and vice versa, Ben will be more than fine. Mel will too but first she has to grab a giant flyswatter (in this case the law) to kill the WASP or at the very least inflict severe damages so she won't be able to recover. And that's going to take some doing. Thankfully though she has two borderline geniuses with a gift of subterfuge on her side. In spite of their own troubles, they will make sure that Mel is alright.

Brian and Justin definitely have a lot to talk about. Brian's statement was made in hurt and anger but Justin is feeling the crushing weight of it. It was evident to everyone there but especially to Justin, that although Brian may want to move passed it and understands that he has to if he and Justin have any chance of being together, it's not going to simply be a 'mind over matter' healing. For Justin's part, yeah he feels guilty but there is also anger there- at himself, Michael and Brian for in a sense turning a blind eye when they were falling apart. Voicing that sentiment without all the venom he feels inside of himself may be the most difficult task ahead of Justin because he's used to a Brian that doesn't discuss his own feelings or better yet, buries them within a bobwired and electrified vault, coated in fire and brimstone with Cerebus guarding those emotions. He's afraid of getting his head bitten off and his heart literally thrown to the wolves again (or at least that's how Justin sees it). 

All-in-all Brian and Justin have a lot to cope with right now courtesy of Michael and Lindsay but more importantly, they have to figure out how far they are willing to go to fight for their lives together; have to figure out if what they want is really worth any price they've paid so far and will pay into the future. I have to say that I really really like writing this one as well as all the others. Although I'm putting a lot of the subplots to the forefront for now, we'll be getting to the main plot of ADLS very very soon. I'm so happy that you are enjoying the journey!!

Happy Reading and HUGS,

Totally missed this chapter!!!!!!!!! WOW and HOLY SHITBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no words as to the lengths those two little fucks will go! Now that Mel ane Ben are confronting Brian and Justin about M&L's machinations, things are going to go all to hell in a handbasket for them!!!! Dear me I can't WAIT to see what you have happen to them all!

Poor taryn is caught up in it knowing nest to nothings. Innocently telling Ben about this 
lovely couple" who will be raising the twins. Oh such legal ramifications to come from all this as well! So many twists that I know you devious and wonderful mind will come up with!!!! I am so terribly excited to see what comes.

Heart broken for Ben of course, but at least he knows everything and can carry on eventually. Hopefully he will also be able to adopt Hunter, even if he is a single dad.

OMFG I am so incredibly pissed of now! Pissed at the lengths Michael and Lindsey will go to get what they want......I almost feel naseous about it.

Frigging EXCELLENT chapter! Fraught with emotions! Mainly unadulterated anger!

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Elaine

Wow this is like Dallas, Dynasty and Empire rolled into one.  When the truth comes out what a mess this is going to be.  Frankly, I have no idea how anyone (Mikey) could be so dumb to follow this plan, but idiots are born every day.

Justin is right he needs his own space.  Brian should reflect on his prior behavior because it was so wrong at points.  

Thanks for the yummy updates!!

Author's Response:

OMG!!!! How COOL is this review!! Thank you so very much! There definitely will be some serious talks and thoughts abounding between Brian and Justin. As for Michael.... yeah, I'm still looking for that one redeeming quality. 

Thanks so much Gretchen for making my day! 

Happy Reading,

Darn I hoped we'd get to the big announcement in this chapter.  Though this chapter was great with Justin and Brian coming more or less to an agreement.  Enjoying this story a lot.
