Summary:

Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

Grr lol I want the next chapter I am gagging for the smack downs! 🤣🤣 Totally unbelievable that they still do not recognise any damage they have done and hope to score a direct hit on the people they tell themselves they love.

Another great chapter I am gagging for the chapters to read to find out what is going on. Loved how Jennifer has Brian’s measure! I was amused by the comment by Jennifer “ do you think this is the first time Justin has been angry with me? How do you think I got through puberty! I suspect though Justin’s teenage anger over boundaries or borrowing car to keeping his son from him! I think Justin has a right to be furious



Author's Response:

Thanks for your comment. I am so glad you're enjoying this story :)

Jennifer will soon find out that Justin's anger can't be compared to a hissy fit in puberty -and rightly so. What they did to Justin is so bad... It'll take time to move past that, if he can at all :(

Wow Emmett didn’t know so Brian has kept it secret but how didn’t Mikey tell anyone if Deb knew? She couldn’t keep a secret. So many questions next chapter please 



Author's Response:

Yeah, how come Michael didn't tell anyone? Hmmm... we'll find out more about Michael's involvement or lack of over the course of this story. So much has happened and so much will still happen - we'll see, we'll see ;)

Justin is amazing man to push down his anger and hurt and put his sons first. At least this time Brian is listening instead of just deciding what’s best 



Author's Response:

We can only hope that Justin is doing the right thing for everyone involved and won't regret it later - poor guy has been through enough :(

As for Brian, lets all hope that he's learning his lesson and will do better from now on!

Omg Justin is a better man than I would have been (plus I am a woman anyway lol) because I would still be harboring deep betrayal feelings to Jeneffer



Author's Response:

Haha, yeah, better than me as well ;) Not sure I could have been that strong, though I have to say, I would at least be inclined to try as well. I am a harmony loving person and probably would try to restore some kind of common ground with everyone as well, knowing that ignoring them is not an option in the long run. But everyone is different...

More will be up soon :)

Wow I t.hink Justin should play some Moby at high volume and cook eggs and bacon as a little payback 



Author's Response:

Haha, you are evil ;)
But we'll see how Justin will react. Maybe he will do just that :P

Brian and Justin are just moving into a easy relationship built on trust that they have the care of their boys together 



Author's Response:

Unfortunately, it won't be easy. Brian's lapse into his old pain management techniques just proved that :/

We can only hope they will find their way :)

Oh wow such a awesome chapter Justin is so strong and fearless he steps up and calls Brian out 



Author's Response:

Yes, Justin has grown into a strong man and calling out Brian was just what was needed in this situation, so good for him :)

Beautiful ending thank you



Author's Response:

I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for joining me on this amazing ride and for all your comments :) 

Summary:

This story centers around Brian's thoughts after he convinces Justin to go to Hollywood rather than take the charity Liberty Ride from Canada.  By doing so, he has spoiled the plans he had made for celebrating Justin's 21st Birthday, which would have happened during the ride, but Justin's future is more important to Brian.  I owe a debt of gratitude to Eka for the wonderful banner and Becky for her beautiful beta work for me.

Hurricane! by mandagrammy Rated: A half-star [Reviews - 5]

Brian is rewarded for a job well done with an all expense paid vacation in the Florida Keys and the use of his client's private estate on one of the islands. He and Justin have a romantic getaway that is rudely interrupted by an approaching hurricane. Will our boys survive another brush with violence, this time by Mother Nature?

This story had been inspired by a documentary I watched about Hurricane Andrew.  I wish to thank my friend, Pat, for her beta help and my dear Granddaughter, Amy, for my banner.

Wow she really didn’t love him because if she had there is no way she would let him go without getting a visitation program and promise to see him again soon 



Author's Response:

I think on some level she must have loved him, but in the end her anger and rage at Brian took over and clouded any feelings of love she might have had for Gus. Poor guy :(

Brian is playing that scenario out in his head to justify his actions in keeping Justin out of the decision making. I think we all know that is not how it would have played out 



Author's Response:

Our subconscious doesn't always work in smart ways...

Maybe we can blame Brian's lapse of judgement on pregnancy hormones? ;)

More will be up soon :)
