I’m still holding out hope for Debbie, but how strong Justin is to face her just amazes me!

I'm normally not a violent person but Mickey deserved it. 

As for Deb, I will see where your mind take her lol. 

Tried to talk to you on FB, are you ok?



Author's Response:

Same here. I don't like violence at all but luckily one can use fanfiction for those kind of things ;)

I think Debbie's path is pretty clear from now on. There will be moments of her realizing what she did but in the end she'll stick with her attitude.

So, so sorry. I've been so messed up lately with the constant visits to the hospital, family stuff and my niece visiting. I also thought it was fun to get the flu so yeah, I've been terrible when it comes to catching up. I'll leave you a mail tho in the next days :D <333

Excellant update.  Justin really gave it to Deb and the inmates certainly gave it to Mikey.  Hehehe.



Author's Response:

Mikey really deserved it, didn't he?
Thank you for sticking to the story.

I wish I could feel bad for what Michael went through but I don't have that emotion in me right now.

He didn't feel bad when he helped to kidnap Justin, watched him be raped by Slimy Ethan, or stop Lindsay from stabbing Justin in the stomach to rip out his baby so she could kill an innocent child.

He laughed, gloated and laughed some more.

Michael is in a place where he has to face the consequences for his part in this horrendous crime, and there is no Captain Astro, Rage or Brian to save him Hell not even Deb has any power now.

Justin going to see Deb is brave cause he laid down some truths she refused to hear and had no real answers to without repeating herself.

She helped Brian but she never Saved Him!!

Saving him would have been stopping him from going back to that situation.

A meal, a blanket, pillow, band-aids, peroxide, alcohol, antiseptic does not equal Brian owes Deb or Michael his life.

All of that together doesn't equal the price Brian paid for a crumb of so called love they gave.

Deb used her semblance of caring to bind Brian to her but her emotional abuse over the years surpasses the physical abuse Jack dished out and coldness of Joan.

Deb isn't better she was 10xs worser because she used Brian to make Michael happy, while disregarding that Brian has a will of his own.

She, Michael and Lindsay also underestimated how strong Brian's will is to live his own life, they used Brian's past to break him, while Justin used glimpses into Brian's past to make him stronger.

Now the ball is in Deb's court, she can either leave Michael to deal with his fate, apologize and stop trying to control everyone, or she can continue to fight for custody of Jenny while blaming and badmouthing Brian and Justin???

The next chapters should be quite interesting.



Author's Response:

I never had that kind of emotion for Michael or Lindsay... for all the others, yes but never those two.

That's one of the things I always hate when it comes to Brian's past and Debbie's role in it. As a mother who would do anything for her son and claimed to love the guys as her own she didn't really try to save Brian back then. Of course she did good when she provided him with food, care and shelter but she should have done more.

There are so many things the writers did with and to Brian that didn't even make sense. But I shouldn't get into that now or my response will be longer than the actual story xD

A big part of me loves and adores Debbie because she supports the rights of the LGBT community and opens her doors for those in need but the other part of me cannot stand the hypcrisy and blindness when it comes to Michael. The others had to suffer and the way she always makes it sound like she saved Vic, Brian and all the others. The minute something went wrong in Michael's life, the others owed their own lives and happieness to her and Michael. That's something I really don't like but I could never dislike her completely because underneath all those flaws is a good person, a mother who wants the best for her child. She only never allowed herself to have a life and let Michael grow up.

I hope to update soon again. Thank you for your reviews. Makes me happy :D

Definitely enjoying it.  So glad you are back and will wait patiently for updates when you can get to them.  I was just afraid it was going to be unfinished and it is  too good of a story for that.  Great job.



Author's Response:

Thank you :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it so far. I'm trying to write as much as I can inbetween treatments and resting. Internet connection here is not so good tho but I hope to update over the weekend if I write during the week :)

Hey Sandy Darling!!!! OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!! Such a gift you have given me all throughout this chapter!

The 'talk' between Deb and Justin was EPIC! Justin delivered some hard truths and negated every single lie Debbie has ever told herself (and others) about her treatment of Brian. I would hope that it would sink in, but honestly, I don't think it will. She's going to find a hard way to go on the Avenue if she keeps living in denial about what a lowlife her bitchboy is!

As for Michael....*STANDING OVATION* BRAVO! He will definitely give a new meaning to the term 'talking shit' now, LOL One thing I know about prisoners is that whenever you harm a child, your days are either hard or numbered. With that whining habit he has, I can't see him lasting long unless it's just to punish him even more. I doubt even the warden will order for that particular torment to stop...I would say 'Poor Michael' but NAH...my feelings just aren't set up that way!

Brian and Justin's talk at the end was so touching. Yes, Brian was worried for Justin's safety, but Justin was worried for Brian's heart and sanity. When Brian said, 'You gave me a real mother in Jennifer,' it had me in tears. That alone speaks volumes about whom Brian really treasures in his life.

OMG! Great job and so worth the wait! Hope you are doing well and that this new year brings you much joy, peace and happiness!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Nichelle 



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Nichelle. Made me very happy :) <33

I'm not sure about Deb's faith yet... I'll just go with the flow and see where she wants to end up ;)

Since Michael always talked shit I thought this would fit perfectly for him xD More is coming...

Much love to you dear <333
