Didn't anyone think it strange that Lindsay had Ethan's phone number? I mean, why would Lindsay have Ethan's cell phone number?
Why didn't they kick Michael out of the hospital? Why was there not more shock to Emmett voicing the fact that that was what Michael had said at the Anniversary party? I'm surprised Debbie didn't haul off and WHACK him again at that pronouncement. Timeline must be moved up here as Michael was referred to Novotny-Bruckner. Thank GOD Ben got a clue. Now Michael has no money... where is he going to lay his head?
Jennifer was awfully quiet at the hospital. You would think hearing Michael say those words, she would have hauled off and said or did something.
Ethan better slick off into the sunset. Or preferably Africa. Because when Brian views that video... dun, dun, dun, dunnn....
I wondered WHY Mel thought it necessary to call Lindsay in the first place regarding Justin. She KNEW Lindsay's feelings regarding Justin, so it just does not make any sense to me. Hopefully Lindsay will be joining Michael very soon looking for somewhere to lay her head. Her entitlement issues last chapter made me want to hurl!

What a mess!
So glad Daphne yelled at Ethan and hit Michael and that Deb is backing her up. Also glad that Emmett remembered what happened at Lindsay and Mel's party.
Finally, Brian is alone with Justin and will be there when he wakes up.
Great chapter!

Go Daph! I sure wish she could have taken a swing at Ian too... I hope Brian's presents helping Justin see that he's in it for the long haul. I hate the idea of him going to LA, unless of course Brian goes with him... I'm all caught up, I need more chapters...

Omg the tears and the feels...so many feels!
Yay Daphne! Beat the shit out of Michael! Wow, everyone was pissed at him, rightfully so of course. Glad they all know now about why Brian punched him before...
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Love this story. Brian cares so much and shows how much he loves Justin by the way he takes care of him. Now that the scuzzy chin rat knows what he caused, I wonder if he will just keep making it worse by doing more things to scare Justin. I hope the son of a bitch gets caught and has to pay for what he's done.

Yes! Brian's gonna win his Sunshine back! Which should be easy once they see the security tape showing Ethan smashing the car! More, please. TAG

Wow Mikey and Lindsay aren't even smart enough to be subtle. At the risk of sounding childish I'll say they make me sick. Why come to the hospital to whine? Seriously, how does that help Mikey? Don't even get me started on Ethan, ugh!
My poor Sunshine. I'm glad he called be for he passed out and so glad the Stud followed his gut feelings.
Thanks for the updates!

Good Morning Gretchen!
LOL! Don't worry about sounding like a child! Honey you should have seen me rolling my eyes and sucking my teeth while writing Michael, Lindsay and Ethan's parts....LOL I guess they inspire that kind of churlishness in all of us from time to time.
Brian is definitely learning to follow his instincts a lot more instead of relying on someone else's opinion or view of what he should be doing. I'm glad that Mel and Ted were with him and not the Leeches of Liarsville- Michael and Lindsay. They would have done everything in their power to stop Brian from going to help Justin.
Happy Reading and HUGS,

OMG...great chapter! I love reading Mel and Ted's POV's and how they see the real Brian and depth of his feelings for Justin. I see a lot of Brian in Ted when he takes charge and it's a wonderful thing. Now Daph, omg love her! I wish Ben didn't intervene and let her kick Michael's whiney a**. It's about time Ben sees Michael for who he is and kicks him to the curb. As for Ethan, ugh there are no words to express how much I despise him. I can't wait until they discover that he is responsible for this along with Lindsay (don't even get me started on her ugh). There will be consequences and pay back, as they say, is a bitch. I'm so ecstatic that Brian is by Justin's side. I think it's going to be a long road to recovery this time for Justin but he'll make it through, they both will. Thank you for a fantastic update and can't wait for the next one!

Good Morning Laura!!
Ted and Mel's POVs here were so vital because they were unbiased opinions of the situation between Brian and Justin. They both tend to observe closely and gather some facts before forming opinions and engaging in discussisons. Thanks to the influence of Brian and Mel, Ted is coming out of the shadows and asserting himself. It's really a joy to see it all unfold. I really loved how he handled Ethan for Brian.
Mel's situation is a little different primarily because of the promise she made to Brian to be there for Gus. It's going to be interesting to see how Mel handles this situation while trying to keep her sanity. Honestly, I don't know how she put up with Lindsay (even during the show). She was either wheedling, whining or weilding guilt like a sledgehammer to beat people into submission. Mel has some very hard decisions to make regarding Lindsay especially when the inevitable fallout from Lindsay's Sperm-stealing Adventure comes to light.
Ben will have his own revelations revealed from the most unlikely of sources...SMH I really feel bad that he got saddled with Michael. I'm not sure if it was the whole 'Opposites Attract' theory or that Faux 'Boy Next Store' Vibe that Ben fell for but the blinders are coming off for Ben and what he sees is definitely not pretty! I agree that he should have let Daphne continue with the ass-whupping...Hell he probably should have joined in and delivered several punches in advance himself for what's coming up for him.
Stay Tuned! Happy Reading and HUGS,

All I have to say is.....DAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNN, MICHAEL GOT KNOCKED THA FUCK OUT!!!! Gotta love Daphne for doing it and Emmett for putting together why Brian did it in the past.
Author's Response:
I LOVED writing Daphne this way. I think if she had her way in the series, Michael certainly would have been put in his place a million times over. And now that Em has put the two occasions that Michael said the same thing together, I think everyone will really start to view Michael for what he is and no longer brush his comments off as harmless and thoughtless. He can certainly be malicious too!
Happy Reading and HUGS,

Wow! An action packed chapter. Love how Ted, Emmett, Mel and Daphne circled around to boster Brian. Daphne did the best when she tackled Michael and Emmett really let him have it. I'm glad that Ben is distancing himself away from the creap. Lindsay messed herself up with calling both Ethan and Michael. Great chapter.
Author's Response:
LOL! Gotta love Daph!! She really let Michael have it. I think Deb is right when she said if Ben hadn't grabbed Daphne, Michael would have needed his own hospital bed. Ben is definitely beginning to see Michael for who he really is and it's not pretty. There are more revelations ahead for the Professor in the most unlikely of places. Lindsay tends to forget that old adage that what one does in the dark always comes to the light.
happy Reading and HUGS,
