My Goodness, so heartbreaking... it so very well written... one can feel Justin‘s pain, his dispair, his fear. Thanks god for Tori being there and her wisdom. At least she manages to calm Justin, giving him a little hope and first of all showing him the situation as it is. Sometimes we need something like that so as not to sink deeper into despair.
You have captured all the feelings so wonderful again. Amazing! Justin's desperation, but also Brian's. The fact that Brian calls Daphne right away shows only how much he loves Justin, that even at this moment of his own deep despair (he thinks he has to let Justin go because he isn‘t good for Justin), he thinks first of Justin and what he needs. Fortunately, Brian has given Daphne the reason why he couldn‘t stay with Justin. Even if Justin can‘t believe it at the moment, it's good he hears from Daphne that Brian didn‘t sound upset or angry but desperate and sad.
And thanks for this end of the chapter, thanks for not letting them suffering too long. It‘s so beautiful and cute, Justin lying in bed, wrapped in Brian‘s CMU hoddie, and Brian wearing an old paint-splattered t-shirts from Justin! Aewsome!

Them wearing each other's clothes is a favorite thing of mine. And one of the benefits of a same sex relationship!
I've always loved Daphne's character. She doesn't get to feature in my story as much as I would like but she does get this pivotal part.
And yes, no matter what, Brian will make sure Justin is okay, even if he believes Justin being okay is to be apart from him. In the show, we see Brian sacrificing to ensure those he loves are happy and get what they need and it's just never really recognized. So my hope was to make clear that Brian has this tough exterior he's had to develop to survive but underneath he's compassionate and generous, even if sometimes misguided.

Awww! Love that Brian’s wearing Justin’s shirt when he comes back... it’s a thing. TAG

I keep learning that readers love Brian wearing Justin’s clothes. I’ve already written that into chapter 10 and I dunno...y’all tell me these things and give me this power. I promise to try to use it for good not evil. But part of me is doing an evil laugh and stroking my non-existent beard.

Can I hunt Brian down and smack him now? What an idiot.
Justin isn't thinking clearly right now. Since he and Brian really don't talk enough to get all things said is it any surprise he reacted the way he did?
Author's Response:
Yep Brian really screwed up in this chapter. He’s only human after all.
And yes Brian and Justin need to learn how to talk with each other.

Brian is smarter than he looked. But he forgets you need to tell people what your planning. Good to see Daphne, she's a rock. I Like Tori. Frankly Justin isn't the only one that needs help.

I'm glad you like Tori! I want to keep her around.

Amazing chapter!!!
Daphne to the rescue and sent by Brian! She is such a great friend and she is the link missing between Brian and Justin at the moment.
The last part was like a brilliant ray of sunshine and Brian wearing Justin's t-shirt was a huge sign.
Tori might be a major help for Justin as well.
Author's Response:
Daphne is alwys rooting for Brian and Justi and do whatever she can for them.
I'm hoping we see more of Tori :)
