Justin sounds like the most amazing art teacher, I am so happy Adam convinced him to do it for those two weeks and that now Justin wants to take it on full time. Sometimes you just need someone else to show you the way a little.

Yoga is brilliant and it's something I could see Justin becoming really into, which would probably make Brian roll his eyes, but be secretly happy for him.

I can't wait to "see" what Brian thinks of the work at Nick's restaurant. I hope it helps his business, but mostly I hope it makes Brian happy to know Justin did this for him and for others in his situation.

I don't want this to ever end.

Way to go Justin. Doing something that freaks you out so much is always hard, but what he did was even harder. But he did it.

It was wonderful to hear Justin yell Bria the prom wasn't his fault, he needed to hear it - even if it didn't need to be said. And hearing the prom night from his POV was so wonderfully heartbreaking.

I fucking love Rob. He doesn't care that Brian is in hospital, he's telling him what a selfish, stubborn man he is. I say those words lovingly by the way. He's right, they both end up hurting each other while trying to protect the other. They are insufferable lol

I'm totally crushing on Rob.

I felt so uncomfortable for Brian during his meeting, no one should be judged for having a disability, but people do it all the time.

SHIT. The end though. Wasn't expecting that/ But I know what this shit can do to your body. My friend gets so ill if she overworks or is stressed. I want to hug Justin, seeing that must have been so frightening.

This chapter made me smile so much. Jen is such a warm and loving mom, just what both boys need. I was so relieved that he was happy to see her in town. And that he liked what they did to his paintings. And I can so see Jen looking up disabled artists haha.

The idea of that impromptu photo shoot makes my heart sing.

I love Brian's friendship with Rob, it's so special. Not only does Rob completely get it, but he's also just a damn good friend to Brian... and Justin.

I loved the image of Justin and these two excitable little girls that adore Justin, and you know what? They probably didn't even notice his hand all that much. I hope he listens to Adam and considers going back to being an art sub, I bet he's great.

What Brian said about the memories makes so much sense. Sometimes something will come back that is just completely random, but that weird memory might be the missing piece and will open your mind to others.

I am truly addicted to your work.

He has the same injury as my friend, you really have written this so well. I hope Justin lets Brian help him a little :(

I just wanted to say, the research you have done is phenomenal. My friend is a T12 total paraplegic, which means she has no feeling below her waist. When it happened, I knew nothing about being paralysed. The pain you described in Brian's legs was so darn accurate. She gets them all the time and is on constant pain medication for it. She can also feel her legs burning when they're cold, which she says is very weird. And the shaking legs happen to her when she needs to pee, it's like her body warms her. It does it other times too, but the body is so smart that way.

I am so happy you are bringing Rob in, he can buy the pads for Brian, but also be someone who totally gets it. Like he said, his family is great, but they don't know what it's like.

I can now breathe, omg

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. What did you do, Brian?

Thank fuck he woke up and remembered Brian. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't. My heart is in my throat though, ahh!

This lump in my throat won't go away, I cried this whole chapter.
