I"m glad Brian is helping Debbie, Carl and Emmett.  Lindsay is so selfish.  Go Trevor!  You tell Michael the way it is.  Can't wait to see how Ben reacts.  Thanks for the update.

Author's Response: Maybe now Brian will be given the recognition he deserves, because they had to know that it was always him that bailed everyone out in their time of need. Ben so deserves to be in a health relationship, and Trevor is a perfect match, a true equal... Poor Mikey, NOT! Later Darling ~ Kathleen

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thrilled beyond belief to see an update! Thank you!!!

Good chat between B&J. Glad Justin didn't pass off what all Brian was saying about Michael. He's right...somethingshould've been said a long time ago. At least now it's recognized and will be dealt with. Justin isn't mad, just letting Brian take resonsibility for his actions or lack there of. As long as Brian doesn't dwell on it. They seem to have a terrific level of communication. I love that. I get that Brian kind of swept it under the carpet. Too many underlying issues there. He felt responsible for Michael, indebted to Michael and Deb. Unsure of what would happen if he actually said anything to Michael, settinghim straight (so to speak) about what their relationship really was and wasn;t (and would never be) He can'ttake all the balme though. Too many people let Michael get away with too much over the years. Passing it off as Michael just being Michael. It's like living near train tracks. when you first live there, the noice drive you crazy and it's over whelming, but after awhile, you don't really hear it anymore. It becomes background noise. I think that's what Michael kind of became after awhile.

I like that there will be a fence and gate around teh property. Brian is keeping Justin safe. (and Gus) He obviously doesn't trust Michael or Lindsey to keep away. too many people think it's fine to just drop by whenver, even if their house is now 30 min. away.

So the dinner at Debs. while a part of me feels bad for Deb...there's a little bitty part that is screaming she should've know better. She definitely doesn't deserve to lose the house, and if Michael ever gets his ass back to the Pitts, there is going to be hell to pay. I feel terrible for Carl!! He's losing so much! No wonder he's so pissed!! He didn't want to do it in teh first place, didn't trust Michael at all....deb should've listened to him. I get it's her kid, but sometimes you need to let your kids sink or swim on their own so they learn. Michael has always been bailed out by someone. Never learned to be independant. Thankfully Brian is to the rescue again for Deb and Carl. He's so generous! Nice that he'll help Emmett too. 

Lindsey is on a major downward spiral!!!!! Selfish and has sush a sense of entitlement. sickening! Much is going to come crashing down around her. And doubling her Prozac??!?!?! THat can't be ggood.

Michael found Ben huih. Guess he got a bit of a surpise. LOL! Couldn't happen to a better asshole. Now what's he going to do? Go back to the Pitts with hsi tail between his legs? will he assume that all will forgive him? typical behavior of him if he does. Or will he realize that he went to far this time? curious to know this.

Well done Kathleen!!! Really looking forward to what comes next. Hopefully the wait won't be too terribly long.

Cheers

Elaine

 

Author's Response: It was good for Brian to understand that by not standing up for Justin and his relationship, it only fueled Michael's behavior and delusions about them being together in the end. Justin's being supportive listening to Brian, but he's not saying it was okay, because it wasn't. They've come so far in their relationship, and communications without having a huge fight, and not bowing to the others will. Once the fence is built hopefully they won't need an armed guard to keep the crazies out. Deb should have known better, she should have listen to Carl. But sometimes there no reasoning with her, she acts on impulse just like her son. You can only hope that she'll now see that Brian's always been there for her, Michael, Lindsay and everyone else in the family, and it's time she started appreciating his generosity. Michael got the shock of a lifetime, now there's no place to run, and no place to hide... I'll try not to take so long to post the next chapter... Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

Amazing Chapter!!! WHOO-WEEEE!! Brian and Justin are HOT as always. It's so nice to see them together and weathering the storms that keep coming up in their lives.

Lindsay is just as much of a head case as Michael! Jealousy and bitterness thy name is Lindsay! The NERVE of that trick to think she should have her house remodeled. She should have her BRAIN remodeled so that she can actually have some damn sense!  Mel needs to take a page from Ben's book and leave her to her own devices...no wife, no kids, NO Brian! 

I'm proud of Brian! Even though he is finally seeing his 'friends' for the manipulative, jealous, petty opportunists they really are, it's better that he sees it now and has a chance to protect himself. With Justin and the others like Ted and Em by his side he'll heal.

I feel sorry for Debbie and Carl (primarily Carl) but perhaps now she'll see 'her baby' for what he really is- a spoiled brat who she constantly enabled. Hopefully witth Brian giving them the loft, perhaps there will be a way for Deb and Carl to work out WITHOUT Michael in the middle of things. But before that happens, she really needs to own her part in this whole mess and clean-up her stinking thinking; to start worrying about living her own life instead of that grown ass infant she raised. I could certainly go on about how I feel about Deb and Michael's codependency but that would take quite awhile.

Speaking of the ASSHOLE... LMAO! I couldn't help but laugh out loud when he was told that he needed to work on his technique! Even though the idea of Michael having sex at all disturbs my spirit (ECK, UGH, BLECH!), I will admit that the description provided me with much comic relief on this here Monday morning! It was also laughable that he believed that Ben was sitting somewhere waiting for his raggedy ass. MITCH PLEASE!!! Not only has Ben found a new love, he's found someone who is his equal in every way from education to life philosophy. And Hunter has moved on too! Michael is firmly imbedded in their past; I can't say that I'm sad about that at all!!

Looking forward to MORE. Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Nichelle 

Author's Response: Brian and Justin steaming up the page is always the perfect way to start a new chapter... They needed it almost as much as we did... With Lindsay losing her job, hopefully Mel will finally reach the end of her patience, smacked in the face with the truth about Lindsay's lies. It may have taken Brian years to see all the manipulations Michael and Lindsay have pulled. But Justin's here now for him to confide in and help him accept, and move forward leaving them in his dust. I have to admit I loved writing the part of Michael as a hustler, and meeting Trevor. He was a fool to think Ben still cared, Ben has finally wised up and realized how toxic his relationship with Michael was. Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

Michael is such an ass.. assuming Ben MUST be waiting for him... and joking about Hunter's HIV???

 

Lindsay is a total douche!!! she should get remodeled because everyone else does? bitch

so glad Brian is taking care of Debbie, Carl and Emmett

 

next chapter now please... I waited too long for this one lol

Author's Response: What a shocker for Michael - Ben's moved on with someone who loves him and is a better match. Michael is such an ass, he was never compassionate about Hunter's problems, thank God he's no longer part of their life... Lindsay - bitch, douche, c***! When I posted this chapter, I was shocked to realize it had been a month since my last chapter. My muse must need a spanking... Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen
