You covered a lot of emotional background in this chapter. I haven't read any other reviews, so I don't know how others responded in regards to Justin giving Hobbs that much money, but it really doesn't surprise me. First, Justin is at the core, a very good human being. Secondly, I can see him thinking that this is his atonement for putting the gun in Hobbs' mouth all those years ago. Not that he needed atonement, as Hobbs did set out to kill him...

Brian... if he still harbored any lingering doubts about him being the cause of the bashing simply by showing up at the prom, all that should be assuaged now with Hobbs' telling him without him being there Justin would have died. I got chills reading that.

Mikey, Mikey... foolish Mikey. He thinks he EARNED the right to be by Brian's side. To be the most important person in Brian's life... well, guess again, Mikey, dearest. When was being Brian's friend about just being Brian's friend? If he wouldn't have gotten something out of the friendship for all those years... he wouldn't have been so keen to keep it. It started with help against the bullies, help with the homework, and who would Michael have been all those years out on Liberty Avenue if not the Stud's best friend? Yep, past time to drop the dead weight. But then, that S.O.B. has kept n touch with David all those years? Hmm, I wonder how Ben would have felt to know that... All I can say, is good riddance!

Good riddance Michael: he's too obsessed to think clearly and save his friendship and his marriage.

The plot is thickening a lot and I guess it's not at its maximum yet.

The story gets more involved with each chapter.  Chris came out of this much better than expected, because Brian and Justin are honorable.  Mikey just keeps blowing it with every word out of his mouth.
