strange of being a nice Ethan
Author's Response: Ethan did love Justin in his own way. However, Brian was always "the one" for Justin.

Hi, just read this story, although, think I may have read it before! You know what it's like when you get to the point of reading so many stories.
Really enjoyed the premise of this story and look forward to reading more of yours, which I will do next.
Thanks

Okay now I felt bad. I was reading this and I was so sad he was okay, then he died :(
Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: February 04, 2016 03:09 AM · On: Chapter 5
Is it bad that I felt annoyed at Justin for handing the kid off to someone else while he helped Ethan? That kid was probably so scared :(
But I am happy that Ethan saw through Justin's feelings. I mean, I am sad for him (LOL) but Justin belongs with Brian :)
Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: February 04, 2016 03:04 AM · On: Chapter 4
My heart broke for Brian - and for Jennifer. The not knowing must be the worst part of all of this.
And Justin finding that kid, my heart was racing.

Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: February 04, 2016 02:47 AM · On: Chapter 1
Of course Justin is bored with Ethan, his life was the same sort of thing over and over with him. At least Brian kept him on his toes.
And my goodness, how aware is Gus of his Daddy?? That was so lovely.
Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: February 04, 2016 02:38 AM · On: Prologue
Ahhh! I understand how Justin must have felt, but I still get sad when I think about how he broke Brian's heart when he left him for Ian. I also feel that after Justin got bashed, he sort of forgot the way in which Brian worked, or that he lost the Kinney manual so so speak *if that makes sense?
I cannot wait to see where you take this.
Reviewer: LP (Anonymous) · Date: May 29, 2015 05:24 PM · On: Prologue
I liked the story but i would of liked to have a different ending. That Justin lived in the loft with Brian and not go off on his own. Also there should be more chapters on Justin and Brian realationship when he got realsed. Maybe you will write a sequel? IF YOU DO PLEASE MAKE them MONOGAMOUS.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I will most likely not write a sequel as I haven't written anything in a while.

I loved your story, it was great to see Justin as a man, even a damaged man and Brian finally grew up and found out what was important, and finally being an adult and realizing he was loved he always seem to belive that he wasn't worthy of love there's all kinds of damage and no doubt Jack and Joan seemed to do far more than physical damage.

Although he was a work in progress, Justin finally felt at peace with himself. He could move on. The blond kneeled, brought two fingers to his lips and then touched them to the headstone where Ethan's name was engraved.
This was beautiful! It is unusual to read Ethan as a good guy and that he and Justin had a real relationship.
It was also good to read that Justin was not instantly cured and still needed therapy, and did not immediately move in with Brian.
This was well writen, enjoyable, and entertaining. Thank you for writing!

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: November 10, 2011 11:19 AM · On: Chapter 33
Thanks for the wonderful chapter. Everything seems to be going
smoothly. I am just a little concerned that Debbie pressured
Justin to have a family dinner the day he leaves the hospital.
We have come such a long long long way, Justin is still so
fragile, that I just wonder if he is ready to face the entire family
so soon. Maybe it is nothing much – I hope.
Thanks again for the story.

Thanks for the update! Hugs, Cindy
Author's Response: Although Justin knows that Brian wants him to live with him, he has to decide if the loft is the best place for him. Brian is so happy that Justin is alive and healthy, that he is being more forthcoming with his feelings. He realized that Justin could have died without knowing how much he was loved. *hugs back*

We have gone from very very very low, to now high.
So far that is. I think things are really looking up when
Justin as able to pick up a brush and a canvas and paint
to releasing some of his negative emotions.
Also, I like the conversations between Brian and Justin.
They are having fun again. Yep, having fun and being
able to release negativity through painting are very
hopeful signs. Hopefully, that will continue, right?????
(Just kidding).
Thanks again for the story.

Yay, glad Justin is starting to come out of his depression. Love that Brian is able to just deal with his hapiness that Justin is being released. I wonder what the future holds while they figure out where Justin is going to live. I vote for Britin or the loft, but then again Justin needs time on his own to get his feet under him and feel his independence and see he can survive.
Look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: It's been a long road and Justin is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Dealing with his issues within a supportive environment is one thing, but can he handle it on the outside? Stay tuned. :)

You're just plain evil!! To leave us with a cliffhanger, and wondering what Brian has to say to Justin is beyond cruel.Please don't keep us waiting too long! Also, I meant to comment on the previous chapter, I'm so glad Daph came to see Justin. I love protective Daph, who also sees thru all of Brian's bull. I also hope that this Tracey isn't some fatal attraction stalker, her watching Daph & Justin made me feel uneasy. Can't wait for the update! Hurry!!!
Author's Response: Sorry, but you're gonna have to wait a little longer for the update. Hopefully not that much longer. You can always count on Daphne to tell both Brian and Justin the truth. Love that girl! :) Thank you for the review!

*sniff, sniff* Perfect... I always loved Daphne, she wasn't in the show enough, as far as I'm concerned. I could definitely see her stepping in between Brian and Justin, kind of like Mikey would do, but with the benefit falling to Brian and Justin because she's wants them both to be happy and knows that's with each other. Beautiful, can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for thre compliments. I also wished they had more of Daphne on the show. Hope you continue to enjoy the story!
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2011 09:48 AM · On: Chapter 29
Nice chapter. Great idea having Daphne the one to visit Justin
and using her as a go-between Justin and Brian. I do think her
discussion with Brian will work. Anyway, I sure hope so.
“Because he looked so pained and forlorn, Daphne impulsively
leaned over and hugged him. Then, she gave Brian a gentle
peck on the cheek and walked away, hoping that what she
said had been enough.”
Great lines – beautifully written.
Thanks again for the chapter and story.

Hi,
Finally, finally, finally – looks like Justin has finally got the message.
For a while there, it appeared that the was no hope for Justin and that
he would drag everyone around him down.
Interesting that in the previous chapter, there was some concern
about Brian’s mental health. As for me, I just about had with Justin
and I could understand the possible awful effects that it may have on
Brian.
Well, Justin is working hard to recover. He has got what it takes,
and now I am much much much happier. It will be interesting to see
how Justin, with everyone’s help, heals.
Thanks for this terrific story.
DavidR

i'mglad justin was able to turn himself around and decide to get better, but it sounds like once he gets his life back there won't be any room for brian in it.
brian's trying desperately to have any piece of justin that he can.
first phone call should be to his mother, but i wonder who. don't think it will be brian.
Author's Response: Justin needs to do this for himself. Brian is trying to give him space and knows that he is in the proper place to get the help he needs. Thanks for reading and commenting, hon.

aaggrrr this chapter is way too short * blushes * please more
* hugs *
Author's Response: I feel your frustration. I am just as frustrated dealing with writer's block and a very busy end of the year schedule at work. Please hang in there. *hugs*
Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: May 07, 2011 08:37 PM · On: Chapter 26
Great chapter, thanks.
Poor Brian and poor poor Justin. Hope Justin sees now that he need help.
* hugs *
Author's Response: Justin has finally hit bottom. He can only go up from there. Thank you for reading! *hugs*

I'm happy that Brian is finally able to see the bigger picture. Justin's insecurities started with him.
Author's Response: In this chapter both Justin and Brian had startling revelations. Thanks for commenting! :)
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: May 06, 2011 12:33 AM · On: Chapter 26
This was another terrific chapter. It did explain Brian’s
lack of reaction to Justin’s explanation that he didn’t
and could never love Ethan the way he loved Brian.
That Ethan knew, and this was a large part of the guilt
he felt. Now after looking at the picture, Brian knows,
understands, and of course reacts. This could be good
news for Justin, as maybe now, with Brian’s help, he can regain some of his sanity. The big question is, what
will Brian do? I’m not so sure.
Thanks for the chapter.
DavidR
Author's Response: So good to hear from you, David! Brian did not really believe that Justin could love him. He can't ignore the proof now. And as for Justin, he finally realizes that he is really messed up and that he is hurting others. Maybe he'll be ready to accept help. Thanks for your support. :)

This chapter was heartbreaking, and in the end there might be hope for Justin because he now realizes how destructive he's been and maybe he'll be more willing to ge the help he needs. Can't wait for the next udate!
Author's Response: Justin and Brian both had revelations in this chapter. Hopefully this will be a turning point for Justin. Thanks for reading, hon!
Reviewer: Gina Marie (Signed) · Date: May 05, 2011 10:37 AM · On: Chapter 26
so happy to see an update! Poor Brian, poor Justin...my heart goes out to them!
Author's Response: They're both truly suffering. Hopefully they can find their way to a good place. Thanks for the review, Gina Marie! :)
Reviewer: sophie's mom (Anonymous) · Date: May 05, 2011 09:38 AM · On: Chapter 26
this is going to be tougher than they thought. justin mainly because he doesn't want to be there and brian because he's feeling helpless. i don't know how they're going to help each other.
Author's Response: They may not be able to help each other. At least Justin realizes that he has to accept help. And Brian realizes that Justin has loved him the entire time they have been apart. Keep reading to find out what will happen next! Thanks for the review. :)

Yay!! I love this story and chapter! So glad that Brian said what he did to Justin, and also glad that what Justin did wasn't his fault, the blame lies squarely on Justin..I hope that Justin get the help that he needs, at leat he's in the right place! Can't wait for the update...
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Jasmine for your kind review. I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

Poor Justin he has a ways to go before he starts the journey back to health. Great chapter thank you
Author's Response: Thank you for reading! ;)
Reviewer: TrinTiff (Signed) · Date: April 15, 2011 08:50 AM · On: Chapter 25
Poor Justin, I know he hates it but if it's a place that will actually help him then it's for the best. I'll bet it almost killed Brian to be so stoic and seemingly unfeeling towards Justin; but Justin has to do this on his own.
*Sigh* I hope it gets better for them soon! :-) I love this story; and I'm really emotionally invested in it for some reason.
Hugs, Cindy
Author's Response: It was a big step for Brian to actually stop blaming himself for everything bad that happens, especially to Justin. Brian is using "tough love". Hopefully it will force Justin to deal with his feelings, now that he can't escape them in the hospital ward. Thanks for your support, Cindy! *hugs*
Reviewer: Gina Marie (Signed) · Date: April 15, 2011 07:33 AM · On: Chapter 25
they're doing the right thing putting Justin away. He needs help. And I'm glad for once, Brian isn't blaming himself for this. This is Justin's problem, and he needs professional help to deal with it. It should be very interesting to see what happens now.
Great update
Author's Response: So many times Brian has taken the blame for everything. At least he can see now that it everything isn't always because of him. Justin's going to be forced to deal with his past. Thanks for the review, hon!
Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: April 15, 2011 03:53 AM · On: Chapter 25
Thanks for the update, love the chapter. Hope Justin will be fine soon.
* hugs *
Author's Response: Justin's got some issues to work through. He needs to confront his demons. Thanks for the review. *hugs*
Reviewer: sophie's mom (Anonymous) · Date: April 15, 2011 03:48 AM · On: Chapter 25
tough love. it was his final decision. now it's all up to him if he wants it to work or not.
Author's Response: Brian's realized that the best thing he can do for Justin is to take a step back. Everyone's been coddling him and it hasn't done any good, Let's see what tough love does!
Reviewer: Anno53 (Anonymous) · Date: March 28, 2011 05:02 AM · On: Chapter 24
Justin needs a "no bullshit" program and it looks like this one will work for him. I'm glad they're taking care of Jennifer too. When they thought she looked "washed out", I thought maybe they would send her to Bermuda for some R&R ;)
I'm still loving your story!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, sweetie! I appreciate the review.
Reviewer: debv3 (Signed) · Date: March 25, 2011 10:03 PM · On: Chapter 24
Maybe falling over the edge was exactly what Justin needed to have happen. I know its extreme but maybe a 10 story fall is just the thing to shake some reality into Justins head. I think hospitalizing him is a good start, they will eventually need to involve Jen and Brian in the therapy sessions. I would like to see some more about cutting and self-injury ( of course I work with emotionally troubled kids so it intrigues me from that point of view)
Great story always look forward to updates.
Author's Response: I'm a special education teacher and have worked with emotionally disturbed children. I could never really understand why someone would want to hurt themselves, but doing some research on the subject, I guess I can look at it from another persepective. Justin needs tough love right now. Thanks for reading!
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: March 25, 2011 05:06 PM · On: Chapter 24
Oh good let us hope Justin can start to heal with the help he is going to get, however knowing Justin he probably will fight it all the way.
Author's Response: Justin's head is pretty messed up. It will take this program and the strengrth and support of his family to recover. Thank you for commenting.
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: March 25, 2011 01:44 PM · On: Chapter 24
'"That was a really shitty thing to do," Justin yelled at Brian.
"Tough, you deserved it."'
Good chapter. It seems as though tough love is all he is going to get from now on.
Author's Response: Thanks, hon. I love when Brian uses tough love with Justin. He can be such a bastard at times, but it's done with underlying love. ;)
Reviewer: sophie's mom (Anonymous) · Date: March 25, 2011 06:43 AM · On: Chapter 24
good going girl! brian letting him go was the best. complaining about that, justin seemed like he really didn't want to die. imagine that.
jennifer is beside herself.good thing brian is there to take care of her too.
Author's Response: Brian gets points for this one! Justin needs tough love and he is the right one to give it. Glad you agree. ;)
Reviewer: Jasmine (Anonymous) · Date: March 25, 2011 05:52 AM · On: Chapter 24
YAY!! You updated ....I so love this chapter...Brian is the man...LMAO when he let Justin go....I'm so glad that the family (because that's what they are) came together with a common goal...getting Justin the help he so desperately needs. I loved the humor and seriousness of this chapter and can I say that I'm waiting patiently...not on the edge of a roof for an update!
Author's Response: I couldn't resist letting Brian drop him. ;) The family will all need to pull together to help him heal. Thanks for your continued support!

It's a fabulous story. Great writing style. Very easy to read. It flows ...
Keep up the grat work.

Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words, honey. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2011 10:46 AM · On: Chapter 23
Interesting – I really thought that after the last chapter, things couldn’t
get any worse. Well I was wrong, they just got worse. Assuming that
there still is a Justin, and I read that last sentence very carefully – so
not all is lost – maybe?
I have to wonder just what does Justin need to start his climb back to
normalcy. Now that Justin has told Brian everything, maybe it is time
for Brian to do the same. Some real honesty about his feelings for
Justin could be the switch that turns things around.
Great story. You wrote action and suspense beautifully.
Thanks for the story
DavidR
Author's Response: Hi David, In life we know that things often get worse before they get better. Let's hope that Justin will have the opportunity to work through his guilt. Thank you for your compliments and for being such a faithful reader, *hugs*

You are true evil to stop there.
Such a great story. But so heartbreaking. So raw. So emotional. So lovely.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for all of the lovely comments. I love that this story is bringing out such strong emotions in you!
Reviewer: sophie's mom (Anonymous) · Date: March 18, 2011 08:30 AM · On: Chapter 23
brian didn't know the depth of justin's guilt. how horrible to live with that. i know you didn't let justin fall. you wouldn't do that.
Author's Response: Justin truly believes he was the cause of Ethan's death. He asked him to switch seats and he figures that he would have died that day. Justin, fall? Mmmm...let's see what kind of a mood I'm in. LOL
Reviewer: Anno53 (Anonymous) · Date: March 18, 2011 05:08 AM · On: Chapter 23
Eeek! Justin should have told Brian all of this when he first got back.
I hope Justin will be okay!
Author's Response: It was too hard for him to tell anyone. He wasn't ready and still wasn't ready until Brian pressed him for an answer. Next chapter will be posted soon. Thanks for reading!
Reviewer: Jasmine (Anonymous) · Date: March 17, 2011 10:24 PM · On: Chapter 23
Noooo! I mean no....Lol...not the cliff-hanger...talk about suspense...what an ending....please make Justin okay...and update like today....whew, this is such a good story!
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words, Jasmine. This cliffhanger is definitely one of my more exciting ones. You'll find out Justin's fate soon. :)
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: March 17, 2011 09:35 PM · On: Chapter 23
I cannot believe you stopped it there. Great cliffhanger.

omg what a cliff hanger! I hope Justin it ok! I'm glad he got it all out though. But I wonder, now that Brian knows the truth, what will he do?
Very emotional chapter! Great job.
Author's Response: Have you ever known Brian to abandon Justin in his time of need? Although, he may have reached his breaking point. Stay tuned. Next chapter is coming soon. Thank you for the compliment, GM. :)

I had hoped that after meeting Ethan again, and Ethan forgiving Justin,
that things would turn for the better. Well – that didn’t happen.
Now that Brian knows about the cutting, maybe there will be no more
hiding, everything comes to light, and things will start to improve.
Then again, maybe not.
Thanks again for the story. As you can see from my comments, I am
totally involved. Hopefully that tells you how much I am enjoying this
story, even though it is still soooooo damn sad.
Of course no comment by you is necessary, let the story unfold. It will
be what it will be, and if things don’t improve over the next chapter or
two for Justin, I will be right back here complaining.
DavidR
Author's Response: I know that you said there was no need to repond, but I just wanted to say hi. It makes me so happy to know that my story is evoking strong emotions in you and other readers.

Reviewer: sophie's mom (Anonymous) · Date: March 08, 2011 12:39 AM · On: Chapter 21
he has become a good actor if no one could see that the therapy wasn't helping and he was still in so much pain.
right about the time that lindsay finds him, brian should either be there or on the phone. he finds this out and he'll go after the shrink.
Author's Response: Justin is hiding his depression and guilt by putting on a front. He is also smart enough to not let Brian get too close to him. Besides, Justin knows that people believe what they choose to believe. Everyone wants to believe that he is doing better. Thank you for the feedback, hon.
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2011 02:55 PM · On: Chapter 22
Oh dear I am unsure how this is going to play out. I hope Brian does not go in guns blazing because I can see this being very bad. I am glad Brian knows but OMG he is going to be so pissed at Lindsay as well.
Author's Response: Brian is surely going to have some strong emotions. Next chapter will deal with this. Thank you for reading!
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2011 12:44 PM · On: Chapter 22
That's not good. Lindsay should never have made the promise if she was not going to keep it.
I have to agree with Mel here. Brian should have been more diligent in warching Justin.
Author's Response: Lindsay realized that she made a bad decision to keep Justin's secret. In a way she did keep it. She didn't tell Brian or Jennifer. Mel told Brian. Thank you for your continued support. :)
Reviewer: Gina Marie (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2011 10:56 AM · On: Chapter 22
I'm so glad the cat is out of the bag. This was a great update, very emotional. Things are coming to a head. I'm excited to see what Brian does now.

Author's Response: Lindsay won't be able to deny that Justin has a real problem. She saw the blood with her own eyes. Thank you for commenting and reading!
