In Brian's thinking Justin couldn't be hurt by something he didn't know and we can't forget that Brian genuinely thought that Justin wanted his career in New York and had chosen that... Once Justin found out about Luke and Brian saw the damage he had done to Justin, he realised how wrong he had been in his thinking and doing...

Of course you are entitled not to like this Brian, but as I mentioned before, I mostly just felt sorry for him. So messed up by his parents and friends that he never really had a chance at a normal life :(

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it :) 

No, we all knew what was going to happen, but still it was hard to write for me as well :/ That scene with Brian at Luke's crib broke my heart when I wrote it. I felt soooo bad for Brian and that I put him through all of that :/ But then again, I am evil and I like drama *lol*

We'll hear about Ben's reaction soon!

Ted and Blake have become the friends that Lindsay and Michael have always claimed to be but have never been. They are just there to offer support and assistance and they just help when it's needed and they don't expect anything in return for it. They are true friends :D And Brian needs friends just like anyone else even though he might not like to admit it ;)

More will be up later :D

Yes, that sounds like Michael. Absolutely... He probably didn't think that his "best friend" would ever go against him and would actually help the police instead of helping Michael...

As for Debbie - we'll see her reaction soon. And as for would she have contacted Brian if Michael hadn't told her to leave prison? Hmmm, not easy to answer... My gut would tell me no, but I might be wrong. Then again I have never been a big fan of the Debbie Novotny brand of conditional love with a price tag... And she will find that out very soon :P

As for Emmett - news like this doesn't necessarily have to make it on the front pages. In a lot of underage kidnappings the identities of the children and people involved can be kept secret and are. I know that in America it's pretty common to have everything spread out over the news, but I know from a lawyer friend that there can be requests by lawyers to keep files locked to protect underage kids and lets just assume that was done here for Luke's sake ;) I am from Germany and for me it's honestly so weird to have complete names, addresses and life stories planted all over the news. The best you will get in Germany is a first name and then the first letter of the last name and that it's. So it would be like: The kidnapping of Luke K.... bla bla bla...

Anyway, we're talking an Mpreg story here where a man has given birth to a baby - lets just assume the baby's privacy was protected by the FBI and law enforcement and that's why Emmett never knew ;) Or maybe he and Drew were travelling with the Iron Men at the time and so he missed the news in Pittsburgh as it never made national news. Or he was just so busy with his catering business that he didn't have time to check the news... In any case: Emmett didn't know because he had removed himself from the Liberty Avenue gang and didn't want to be involved in their drama.

Thanks for your comment! More will be up on Wednesday :) 

Awww, thank you :)

There will be a courtroom scene, yes... Though I have to warn that I am not a lawyer and don't work in law enforcement, so it might not be 100% accurate ;)

More will be up soon :)
