Thank whomever, that Michael's not there - there should be just people involded who really care about Justin! And when Ethan starts to tell... it's so heartbreaking. Oh what am I writing, it's all so heartbreaking...

Noooooooooo, I am all caught up, why did I marathon read this? Now I have nothing to look forward to tomorrow lol. But, girl. You are doing such an amazing job with this. My heart hurts so much reading it, but I can't get enough. I'm so glad that Justin finally hit rock bottom, I truly believe that once that happens things really do start to get better. And slowly, with Alex guiding the way, I think Justin will start to recover. It'll take time and a lot of work, from both him and Brian (and the family) but Brian isn't giving up.

The friendship between Brian, Emmett, and Ted also gave me the most amazing feels, I always believed they all liked each other more than they let on lol.

Thank you for writing this, it's a work of art xx

Holy shit! What a group therapy session! So good! That was wicked hard for them to hear but at least they can all, most of them anyway, come together & help Justin & heal themselves too. This fic is my latest addiction, hey it could be worse ya know! At least it's not drugs Lol

This story is just so beautifully written. The emotion your words convey is so palpable it jumps right off the page and grabs your heart! While reading this chapter, I found I had to pause three different times to catch my breath! Ethan relaying Justins words about not having a home, about not having anything left to give, and Brian sitting with him were so emotionally charged, so well played!  Candy

Author's Response:

Thanks, Candy! This is why it was so important to establish Ethan early on, as Justin's friend. He can deliver this type of news and have it sink in in a way that Alex can't.

Justin admitting he needs help and checking himself in the hospital is a start, a slow start but the start of Justin finding himself and becoming stronger.

Alex did good by letting Brian have that moment with Justin, it was what they should've had before when everyone kept Brian away and blamed him for Chris Hobbs' anger and jealousy.

Deb would do good to not push Michael on anyone right now cause he is Persona Non Grata as far as Justin and Brian are concerned.

Brian should continue his sessions with Alex so he can be ready for Justin when he asks to see him.

Perhaps Alex might want to have one on one sessions with Brian and a member of the family, they continued the abuse his parents already started??

Good Chapter it got me all teary-eyed. Thanks :)

Thanks, doll; and yes, it is a slow start, but this wouldn't punch as hard as it did, I think, if it was all over within two chapters. Real life doesn't work that way.
