1 Year ! And Elba! I can't imagine how this may take a good end...

Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

You'll just have to stick around and see then won't you?  XD

Thanks so much for the review!  <3

A whole year has passed?  Justin doesn't even remember Sasha.  I want to know how this story ends, but it makes me so sad.  I will be following and giving comments til the very end.

Author's Response:

Awwww....Thanks for all your support!  It's funny, with every chapter it seems I have people who are loving it more and more, and then people who hate it more and more.  I've never received any negative reviews until this story.  But I'm still proud of it!  Thanks again!  <3

A year?!...Italy?!...ahhh! Justin is completely brainwashed!

Author's Response:

Yeah, pretty bad huh?  Just wait...Thanks for the review!!  <3

This new Justin is scary!

Author's Response:

Ha!  Yeah, he kinda is.  Let's hope its a temporary condition.  <3

I totally saw this coming! Although, I expected Sasha to be murdered as well. Instead she was sentenced to a fate worse than death. Now Justin truly is alone... He has no companions and no hope in sight. I fear for his future because, at the moment, it looks pretty bleak. 

 

I think Justin is down for the count right now, and I foresee a development of Stockholm Syndrome in him towards John. John is going to get exactly what he wants: a pretty little compliant blonde boy who relies completely on him for the duration of his captivity. I could be wrong about that prediction, but I guess we'll see ;) 

 

One thing is for sure; Justin isn't going to get out of this situation unscathed. I hope that Brian finds him soon... He was so close in the club! It was extremely frustrating to see him walk away with no real leads again. Luckily, I have patience, and I trust he'll eventually find something that will guide him to Justin.

 

This chapter was wonderful. Sad, but still wonderful. Update soon because I'm dying for more! 

Author's Response:

Ahh, but she's so young!  I couldn't do it.  :(  But her story isn't over yet.  And yeah...Justin isn't going to be doing so great for the next while.

And you're right about one thing.  Justin isn't going to get out of the being the same person he was before...He'll be changed for life.  But he isn't the only one who's going to be different.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews!!  <3

My jaw hit the floor at the realization that Brian was soooo close to catching John. Oh how i wish he had known that his impasse with the 'top only' in the backroom was with Justin's captor.

Omg...did Mitch really have to die? Did Sasha really have to get sold away to some sicko creep who would love for her to fight back just so he could beat the hell out of her? *takes a breath* Even with all the painful drama, I still have faith in a happy ending.

You mentioned in another response that this will be your last for a good while....what a fic to go out on. I do hope you return and grace us with more of your fantastic writing my friend.

Author's Response:

Horrible right?  :(

And yes, those things had to happen in order to break Justin.  :(  But Sasha's story isn't over either.  So have a bit of faith.  You'll see her again.

And yeah, this may be my last one entirely (I hope not but I'll just have to see how much time I have).  Thanks so much for all your support, I really hope you enjoy this all the way to the end.  <3

I gotta ask.  Is this story going to have a happy ending?  Not every story does and these things do happen in real life.  I do like how Brian isn't alone in New York, he does have friends and he's doing something - writing.  John is a piece of work and sometimes they don't get what's coming to them.  But I've got to tell you I hope Justin and Brian are reunited.

Author's Response:

I am a firm believer in happy endings.  This story isn't going to be ride off in the sunset happy, but it should satisfy you.  Promise.  :)  As for John, what happens to him is a surprise.  :)  Thanks for leaving a review!  <3

I could burn you at the stake for this one, LOL. This was very traumatic. I hate I asked about Sasha in my previous comment, the poor thing.

The memory thing is scaring me. Heck, this entire story is scaring me, but I'll just keep my blankie nearby and keep reading.

Author's Response:

Don't feel guilty, I already had the chapter written with that in there, it was only coincidence that you commented on it.  XD

Please do, the really cary parts are just about over.  I wouldn't say its smooth sailing from then on, but it's definitely not as traumatic.

Thanks for the review!  <3

Well, Debbie was very understanding, which was quite unexpected given the fact that Brian hit her brat of a kid. I'm glad she's supportive of Brian going to New York but I'm still quite unforgiving about the fact that she gave up on finding Justin. Once again, I think I just feel this way because I know things that she doesn't. 

 

It's impossible to have an objective opinion about the way they've given up on Justin when my heart is being broken by every new method of torture he has to endure. I suppose I understand though since, like you said, they never got a chance to be close to Justin. Justin never lived with Debbie like he had if he hadn't been kidnapped...

 

Sasha's assault was so sad. And I have a bad feeling that it's a foreshadowing of some kind as to what's in store for Justin. He's already starting to forget. Soon all of his good memories will be gone, and all he'll have is the nightmare of the reality he's in right now. I'm hopeful that his next escape attempt will go better than his last but I'm a natural pessimist, so I'm already prepared for the worst. I really don't believe that Justin will get out that easily...

 

As I've already conveyed before, I LOVE this story. You're doing a great job with it so far :) 

Author's Response:

YEah, he did, but she loves them both so she can understand.  And you're right, she and the rest of the family have no idea what happened to Justin and, unlike Brian, don't have their whole hearts hoping for him to be alive.  Yes, they loved him, but they weren't in love yet.

As for Justin's escape...I think your pessimism will prepare you.  :)

I'm so glad you love everything, reading your reviews always make my day!  <3

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I usually stay away from WIP's but since you are activly updating (THank GOD For That!) Oh my gosh. This is perfect! You have written something that seems like it could be real. Every action that Brian makes it something he would do, i would think anyway. Debbie adn Brian's relationship is perfect.

 

Justin....Oh so sad, he is starting to forget. Oh no, poor Justin. I can't wait until you send the next chapter! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Author's Response:

Thank you!!  Realism is something I really wanted for this fic, which had made some people not like it, but I'm glad you do!  :)  Yes, he is...And he doesn't even realize it!  Thank you for letting me know what you think!  <3

I had to take a long emotional breather after reading this chapter. Poor Sasha :( being defiled in such a gross manner. I'm glad that Mitch decided to give them a little help.

Brian is very fortunate to have the Bills brothers on his side to help in his search.

Author's Response:

The hard stuff is almost over.  Just one more chapter.  And yes, what happened to Sasha managed to push Mitch right over the edge...But will it be in time?

Thank so much for letting me know what you think!  <3

wow, your chapters just keep getting better!!! this is so sad and so addictive

Author's Response:

Awwww, thank you so much!!  <3  I'm really glad you like it so far.

    Thanks for the chapter. 

    Did I miss something?

           “….Justin’s last known whereabouts

            were a gay club in New York.”

That is what Jennifer said on TV.  I don’t remember that or

did Jennifer mis-speak? 

     I like that Justin is going to do what he has to do to survive.

Survival is the key word.   Do what he has to do, say what he

has to say.  Just pretend and silently keep hope alive.

   DavidR

Author's Response:

Well I wouldn't say you missed something, exactly.  I mean, Justin was at a club when he met John and was invited to go to the 'party' where he got kidnapped.  And they know Justin went out clubbing in New York; but I haven't expressly said what they know - this was kind of my way to tell you there was still an invesigation going on.  Roger's parts in the story so far haven't had much to do with his search for Justin and so I wanted to hint that they had clues and trails and that something was being done by authorities and it wasn't just Brian by himself.  Does that explain it a little better?

And he'll keep up the act for a bit, but then if you start pretending to be something for long enough you may start actually turning into it.  :(  We'll have to see.

Thanks for letting me know what you think!!! <3

Brian is going to turn detective isn't he?  Hopefully Sasha can escape and get help.  Can't wait to read what you have planned for Michael. <evil laughter>

Author's Response:

We'll have to see about Brian.  He does have some life changes ahead of him.  Thank you so much!!  <3

I'm trying to do this review at work on my phone, so please try not to laugh at my typos. My heart breaks for Brian and Justin. I can see Justin giving up hope. He's going through tremendous torture and degradation and he is right that it would be difficult to think that Brian would save him after he threw him out.

Brian has been a rock in his dedication to find Justin. I knew it was only a matter of time when he was going to half to choose between the job and his search for Justin.

The intervention was an insult. They should have been supportive. If it were Gus they would be scouring the streets of New York nonstop.

Justin's parents were a big disappointment. The police and the general public are less likely to look for Justin after their admonishment of Justin's lifestyle.

It's good that Michael finally confess. He probably thought he was doing a good thing by saving Brian from his guilt, that Brian would feel somewhat relieved. I'm glad he found out otherwise. How the family overlooked it was enraging. I can see why Brian refused to have anything to do with them after.

I get that Justin is being trained but what about the girl? I'm beginning to wonder what her part is?

Author's Response:

Justin's hope is starting to dwindle, we'll just have to see how he continues to cope.  As for Brian, we'll have to see how he continues to cope too.  ;)

I didn't really want the family to see so cruel, but I needed for Brian to think it was better to leave, so I had to make them that way.  XD  They're jerks lol.

As this is Justin's and Brian's story what happens to Sasha isn't really talked about much.  I do cover some things later on, actually I think in the next chapter there's a bit...But for the most part he abuse isn't talked about.  But she does continue to play a role in Justin's life.  

Thanks for your continued support!  I'm always glad to hear from you.  <3

I keep trying to add a review, but something seems to be wrong with MW. This was another emotionally charged chapter. Really good. I hope all is well with you!

Author's Response:

Thanks!   I'm glad you liked it, and yes, everything is fine.  <3

     Thanks for keeping the description of Justin’s abuse

limited.  I hope Justin is smart enough to pretend to be the

subservient person they want him to be.  Just do what they

want and how they want it.  But pretend – nothing more.  His

job is to survive.  Brian is on the way, some how, some way.

      As for Brian, my heart aches for him.  My advice one more

time – to find Justin, look outside the box.  Don’t give up.

     Thanks for the chapter.  This is one amazing story.

DavidR

Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked the way I handled the scene, it was hard trying to think of the best way to present it because I didn't want to skip it entirely (I felt that would make it lose too much meaning) but I didn't want it to be overly graphic (because that's just not fun for anyone).

Thanks so much for your feedback!  And he's close to finding a clue, he just needs to be in the right place.  ;)  

what's with Brian/other? so while Justin is being hit in the face and other thing being done to him ( which I dont like at all)  because Brian best friend wasn't man enough to come clear with what he did, give Brian a pass to what fuck Anthony or Roger or both because we all know that it's mandatory of him to use his dick when he in pain.  I don't see brian nor that cop Roger coming up with anything so far not even something small. Justin is better off finding his own way out with 95% chance of another person helping him.  (This mean you doing a good job it make a person (me) interested in coming back for more)           

Author's Response:

Brian is going to have a clue soon, and it'll hit him hard.  As for the Brian/other, it'll hopefully make sense when it happens.  As for Justin, he's going to start getting a lot more proactive.  Glad you're interested in more!  Thanks!  <3

I was able to read this chapter all the way through without flinching. Granted, I have read novels with tough subject matter, so I'm a bit immune to it all. This was actually a walk in the park compared to other things I've read.

 

It was a nice tactic that you chose to use by skipping the graphic stuff with John and Justin. It desexualized the scene and ensured that no one would mistake it for something that it wasn't. Forced sex acts are never sexy and this wasn't, so I'm very relieved that you kept it undescriptive. 

 

The family's intervention for Brian seems a bit insensitive. It bothers me that they're so willing to give up on Justin's search and rescue. And that they expect Brian to do the same. I understand that they're concerned for Brian, but Justin is out there being tortured. Perhaps I just feel this way because I know what's happening to Justin and they don't... If they knew, I certainly hope they wouldn't surrender so easily. 

 

This was yet another great chapter, and I'm actively preparing myself for what the future has in store for both Brian and Justin. 

Author's Response:

Well that's good, I'm glad it wasn't too bad for you.  :)  And I'm glad you saw what I was trying to do (you seem to be doing that a lot through the fic lol). 

Well I'm writing with the assumption that they believe Justin is dead - he's been missing for months and they feel like if there was a chance of finding him it was passed so now their main concern is Brian - except Michael who's main concern is himself.  

Thanks for letting me know what you think and I'm glad you're still enjoying everything! <3

Thank you for the warning. I didn't venture to read what came after with Justin so I was able to read the rest of the story without my skin crawling. Just the part before had me reaching for my blankie.

I love that Justin was still trying to figure out some way out of his predicament, but I couldn't help thinking that the old man was fattening him up for the slaughter, so to speak. I also could not help thinking of why Justin would hold on to Brian being his rescuer when he was the one who threw him out into the street. Justin would be better off thinking about a real superhero in tights with a cape than Brian being the one to save him.

Michael has me steaming. If anything, he should be the one going to New York every weekend and actively looking for Justin. If he was really sorry, he should have been the one supporting Brian not encouraging him to give up looking. He has brushed his culpability under the rug for too long.

Please continue to feed my addiction. This story owns me.

Author's Response:

I'm glad it was helpful!

And Mitch may just surprise you, I have plans for him.  Lol As for Justin, his thinking is an extension of his actions in the show; he was cooped up in the hotel room believing Brian would come find him before the police did because he knew that Brian was pissed, but he also knew Brian wasn't cruel.  Also, he's still hopelessly in love with that guy.  XD  But you are right about one thing, Justin is better off thinking Brian won't come rescue him...Maybe he needs to rescue himself?

And Michael will get what's coming to him.  At least I think so.  Lol.  Thanks so much for the review!  I really appreciate the support.  <3

Hi, Jessie - as always, this is well written. But I guess I'm a  wimp.:) This is just a little too dark for me at the moment.  I'll probably pick it up later.  Maybe it's just the frame of mind I'm in or the time of the year; not sure. But I'll probably come back to it later. I do wish you luck with the story, though.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

OH, I'm sorry to hear that, but I understand.  If you want to come back in later, I suggest chapters 10 or 11.  Maybe 12 to be on the safe side.  XD  Thanks for the support and I hope you hop back in later.  <3

I hope Brian will find Justin very soon, great chapter = Yvonne xx

Author's Response:

Thank you!!  And well...for a while their stories are going to stay separate, but in time they will be reunited.  <3

I so love your Roger.

"That wasn't too bad, right?"

On the literary level this chapter was excellent. It was well written and executed. Bad? It was only bad in that it gave me nightmares. I'm a big chicken when it comes to these types of stories. I have only watched a handful of SVU episodes because I can't watch the subject matter being portrayed. I may have to skip over certain parts or chapters in the future, but not because of the way you write them. Please don't change a thing. I even love the pace of the story. This chapter and the story are perfect!

Author's Response:

That's good to know.  I sometimes worry my writing is choppy, so I'm glad you like the pace.  And well, I hope your nightmares weren't too terrible lol.  I'm glad you like the way things are going and thanks so much for letting me know what you think!! <3

I'm loving your story, but it's scaring me to death. I don't often have anxiety reactions to things I read... this is the exception. And, no, it's not high anxiety, but I find myself not wanting to read the next line, and not being able to stop myself. lol. I think it's because the damned thing is so very realistic, and THAT is a very good thing in this kind of story.

Oddly enough, I find my heart breaking for Brian more than for Justin, and I'm a huge Justin apologist. I'm terrified for Justin and his imprisonment, but there's a tenacity he has that will see him through. (Oh, god, I hope...) But Brian is so fragile and guilt riddled and... hopeless. Please let him torture Michael when he finds out. <G> Slowly. Over an open pit fire. Without an apple in his mouth. Christ, he is the most cowardly of cowards.

And Roger? Yeah, we like Roger. Roger can stay.  (I loved that line!)

Thanks for my daily dose of angst.

Roni

Author's Response:

Well, since realism is what I'm going for I'm very glad you think it's realistic!  :)  And I completely understand your feelings that Brian might need more sympathy, because Justin is strong and stubborn; whereas Brian is unaware of a lot of things (both about Justin's fate and the truth about the alarm) and that leaves him in this limbo like state.  And a Michael Kabob...Sounds like justice.  XD

Gaw!  I loved that line too!!

Thanks so much for the support!!  <3

This update was wonderful, as usual. I'm liking Officer Bills so far and the fact that he's someone Brian can trust. It's such a relief that Brian isn't in this search alone. It's obvious that he's in a lot of pain, and I hope he gets a lead on Justin's whereabouts before he shatters completely. 

 

Justin's portion of this chapter had me shaking. The way that John made him beg for medicine was heartbreaking. I'm shuddering to think of the future "training" that Justin will have to endure at the hands of that despicable human being. 

 

Great chapter, dear. I am both excited and a bit fearful for the next update and what it will have in store for the boys. I'm thrilled to hear that this story has 30 chapters already. Can't wait to read them all! 

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!  I really wanted Brian to have a strong ally, someone he knew he could trust who wanted to find Justin, thus Roger.  Lol  I also hope that, since Roger can be sympathetic to what BRian is feeling because of his job.

I know it was pretty intense, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.  John is definitely sadistic and Justin wll be in for a rough ride.

Thanks again, and I hope you continue to enjoy it as updates continue.  <3

Sorry-guess I should be more clear. Hard to read emotionally-as I hate to see Justin hurt in any way-me just an ole' softy. I know things will improve to an eventual happy ending. The angst is just part of the juice that helps the story proceed.

Author's Response:

Ahhh, I was worried because sometimes I feel like my writing is choppy or doesn't make sense.  And they will, in fact, they'll probably improve sooner than you think.  Of course, it won't be happy soon, but it will improve.  XD

i am glad I came across this story. It is good. Keep it up. I hiope Michael finally tells Brian and he forgets about Michael forever and concentrate on  Justin. We need more stories with Brian and Justin without his substitute family around

Author's Response:

I have a hard time writing about the rest of the family for some reason, so their part in this will be small.  I'm really glad you like it so far and I hope that as things go on you still feel the same way.  Thank you!  <3

I am upset with this story. I know I am supposed to be, but it is hard to read and I am having problems with it. Sorry-I know it will get better, so I am going with that. I don't want something to happen to Brian along the way to finding him, he is already having a breakdown. Please put a little light along the tunnel. Love is the only engine of survival.

Author's Response:

Is it hard to read technically, or hard to read emotionally?  Because technically I can fix....emotionally...well...There will be happier times for Brian in the near future.  And even Justin's situation will improve greatly before he's rescued.  Eventually.  I promise. <3

Let's kill Mikey.

Author's Response:

Agreed.  :)  I could stand to live without him.  <3

Brian's breakdown is completely understandable here. The guilt he's feeling is overriding his common sense at the moment. And my heart is breaking for poor young Sasha and the rest of the victims 'John Smith' has absconded. I have no doubt that Brian and Justin will find their way back to each other and bring the trafficking ring to justice.

Author's Response:

Yes, poor Brian is feeling very guilty, because a certain someone else is still keep quiet about their own part in this.  As for the rest, we'll just hav to see.  :)  Thank you!  <3

Hi, Jessie - very engrossing story.  I felt chills when Justin was told to take off his clothes and when his captor showed him what was in store for him.  TBH I'll still have to see where you take this.  It's very dark right now, and I'm a wimp when it comes to Justin being abused, so depending upon how graphic you're going to make this I may just have to skip to the end when it gets to the 'happily-ever-after' part (I know - coward here).  Since you said it was, what?  30 chapters or so?  It might be a while before that happens, but I will definitely be looking forward to the boys' reunion and hopefully some much-needed TLC from Brian for his blond.;) Thanks for the update.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Well I have about 30 chapters written, but it doesn't take them that long to reunite.  Also, I realize that it seems like it's going to be bad, but the way I wrote it...Well...It's kind of hard to explain without giving anything away and everything, but I really think its not so bad.  It's definitely not like the pictures Justin saw.  I do hope it's not that graphic.  I mean, I tend to be a wimp myself and while I pushed myself, I in no ways grossed myself out.  So...I hope it doesn't turn out to be too much because I really do want it to be enjoyable.  Though I realize now with them both being miserable it isn't much fun, but I hope by the ending (And by now everyone should know I believe in happily-ever-after) it'll be worth it.  Anyways, thanks for the support!  <3

No! The pictures aren't okay. You can't have Alcide as the bad guy. And I care about Brian's behaviour. Whilst it's very OOC, it's very in character for the situation as Brian probably wouldn't know how to cope with the emtions he's feeling. I want to skip straight to the bit where Brian and Justin are reunited, I shall (im)patiently wait for you to progress that far.

 

Author's Response:

So, I never have actually seen the show that the man I picked for John is in, but I'm assuming he's a good guy...Sorry. I actually just typed the description of what I wanted into google and he came up.  I believe some of the words were hot, buff and dark hair.  XD  And, well, seeing as I'm putting a lot of chapters together you probably don't have to wait that long.  I mean, obviously not right away, but probably by the end of the week.  (No promises).  Thanks for reviewing!  <3

This story is riveting and chilling. I couldn't turn away from it if I wanted to. I could feel the terror Justin experienced and I just wanted Brian to rescue him as soon as possible. It just seems that it would be impossible to find him. And Michael should be ashamed of himself.

Author's Response:

Nothing is impossible.  ;)  I'm glad you're so enthralled and I hope you continue o find it so interesting.  Thanks for letting me know what you think!! <3

I'm really liking this story so far!  Please keep going and thank you for sharing it with us!  I can't wait until you update again.

Author's Response:

Awww, that was so sweet.  Thanks so much!  <3  And don't worry, this story is definitely going to keep going.

The suspense!  Justin almost got away.  At least the police aren't giving up.  Brian needs some kinda clue!!!!  Another chapter would be really nice!

Author's Response:

Every other day.  ;)  Sorry I'm going to make you guys have to be patient.  And no way is Justin going to without a fight.  Thanks so much for your review!  <3

Wow. Very intense!

Author's Response:

Thank you!  I'm trying to keep it interesting.  <3

Hmmm...a trafficking ring very interesting. I sure hope officer Bill can be of some much needed help. The big question is who is heading up the operation?

Author's Response:

You have no idea how big that question actually is.  I'll just let you wonder about that...for a long time.  ;)  Thanks for the review, I'm always glad when I see you leave one.  <3

Eventful chaptr and so full of angst !! I hope they dont give up hope....anxious for more

Author's Response:

Thank You!  I'm really glad you like it so far.  I hope I don't let you down.  <3

I like the plot of your story; I never read yet a story with a twist about the part of Justin running away to NY, or maybe I did but not like Justin being missing against his will. This is kind of interesting. I will surely follow this one.

I worried what will happen to Justin. I hope Brian will eventually find him the soonest. Looking forward to the next chapter.{{{Hugs}}}

Author's Response:

Thank you!  Hope I don't let you down.  :)  And well, Justin's pretty tough.  We'll have to see.  Thanks for reviewing!  <3

Another intriguing chapter, Jessie!  I'm kind of surprised that Brian would automatically assume Justin had been kidnapped, though, with being in such a large city as NYC. There could have been other reasons for his disappearance, and with Justin being such a firery sort of persistent kid, he could have figured out a way to make a living somehow or even jumped a bus to go somewhere else.  Nevertheless, I'm glad he's going to go back and search for him, since I was disppointed he let his friends talk him into coming back so soon.  Craig, as usual, was being a real jerk here. And I think Em let Michael off way too easy; he should have insisted that he tell Brian what happened, or HE would tell him. I don't think he should get away with holding out the truth from Brian. 

"Good Will Humping"  LOL - Hilarious!  I remember those kinds of title from that Season 1 Ep, like "Fatal Erections" - ha!  Looking foward to the next part. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Well, about the kidnapping thing Brian was doing a number of things...First he was panicking.  He automatically assumed the worst because he felt like crap.  Also, he was betting that if Justin COULD, he would come back so he figured something was preventing him from doing that.  I guess I didn't put that in there well enough.  And don't worry, Emmett is not letting Michael off the hook.  He'll do the right thing.  I'm glad you liked the porno title.  XD  I was stuck between three; that, 'Everyone I did last Summer' and '40 Gays in 40 Nights'.  I picked one at random again.  Maybe I'll find an excuse to put them in later.  We'll see.

Anyways, thanks for reviewing, Kim!  <3

Seeing that english isn't my native language I found this very easy to read.

You write in a very fluid way and after two chapters I'm absolutely hooked. Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Keep it up like this and you have a new admirer.

Author's Response:

I'm glad that you find it easy to read!  I sometimes feel like my writing is choppy and jumpy from subject to subject, so its good to know its not!  :)

And I hope I don't let you down!  Thanks so much for reviewing!  <3

This second chapter is intense without being horrific.  You played out Craig and Jen to perfection, that is just how they would react.  Mikey's confession doesn't cut it, and Emmett is such a good friend he isn't going to rat out Mikey.  If Justin is on a plane that's going to make it even harder for Brian to locate him!  Do you suppose Mysterious Marilyn can help????

Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked the way I portrayed Craig and Jennifer, I figured, being who they are, they would deflect the blame onto Brian even though it's their fault for kicking Justin out in the first place.  (Justin sure does get kicked out a lot, doesn't he?  Poor guy.).  And well, Emmett isn't finished with Michael yet, but he is a good friend, so we'll just have to see what happens there.  As for Justin...I can't give anything away.  Sorry!  Thanks for letting me know what you think!  <3

I can't believe Craig had the nerve to act all upset being that he was the reason Justin was with Brian in the first place, and as for Jennifer...she doesn't exactly score any popularity points either because protecting Justin was not Brian's job it was hers. Where was this philosophy when they tossed him out because of who he loved?

Okay so Mikey finally says something....but to the wrong person. Brian deserves to know the truth and it's not a good idea for Emmett to be covering up for him. Hopefully Brian's next trip to New York will start to lead him in the right direction.

Well Craig is a giant asshole, what can we expect?  As for Jennifer...Her feelings on this won't come out until much later, but they will and they might surprise you.  :)

And well, personally, I think Emmett is one of the best characters in the show, so he'll do what's right.  Promise.  :)  Thanks so much for reviewing!!!  <3

Interesting start...cant wait to see how it goes 

Author's Response:

I'm glad I caught your attention.  I hope I don't disappoint.  <3  Thank you!

What is this? Michael didn't cause the problem with the alarm. It was Justin. 

Author's Response:

I realize that in the show Justin was to blame, but if you had taken the time to read the notes I put at the bottom of the chapter you would have seen that I am making a number of changes to the original plot.  :)

First off let me say I am soooo glad to see another story from you and what a wonderful start :)

Okay....Michael is a pathetic idiot and firstclass asshole for not telling Brian the truth about the alarm. Hopefully Brian and the rest of the gang will find Justin before he endures too much torture (thank you for the warning btw) I'm going to be anxiously awaiting the next installment.

P.S. I think Missing is the perfect title for this one ;)

Author's Response:

Awww...That's so sweet.  And I'm really glad you like the beginning!

And Brian WILL find Justin...eventually.  But I don't want to give anything away so I'll just leave it at that.  

Oh and thanks for your vote!  <3

verry intriguing:) update soon

Author's Response:

I'm glad you think so!  <3  I'll planning to update every other day just to give me some time to answer reviews and continue writing...And do homework...But who cares about homework?  <3

I like Missing better than I'll Come for You.

Also, Michael! What a dick. And poor Brian. So looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your vote!!

And yeah, Michael was being kind of selfish; but my goal is not to write a anti-Michael, so hopefully by the end you'll think he redeems himself.  Thanks for letting me know you liked it!  <3

Wow, scary as hell but intriguing! I'm glad you'll have warnings - I don't usually like reading about main characters' tortures. You're a great writer! I'm very happy that you have already so many chapters written. And personally I prefer 'Missing' title, it sounds more mysterious and serious.

Thank you!

Author's Response:

I was going for scary so I'm glad it paid off Lol.  And yes, try not to worry too much about the abuse that'll happen to Justin.  I don't get too graphic and when I think I'm even getting close to something too intense there will be even more warnings to let you know about it.  :)  Thank you so much for thinking I'm a good writer, getting feedback like that is what makes me want to continue writing.  :)  Oh and thanks for the vote!!  <3

I am definitely looking forward to this story. I am excited that you have so much already written, no going two weeks without an update. Can't wait to read more.

Author's Response:

Yeah, personally, I have a bad habit of starting out a story and then moving on to another one.  So, knowing that I do this, I make sure I have at least half of it written before I consider posting it because at that point I know I'm going to finish it.  XD  I'm glad you're looking forward to reading this and I hope I don't let you down!  <3

Hi, Jessie! Good to see a new story from you.;)  Well, Michael is a real idiot in this chapter.  I suspected right away that he was the one who had not set the alarm, and then to compound it by not telling Brian the truth was even more hideous.  I would say that he is to blame for what's about to happen to Justin, but I guess I have to fault Justin as well. What was he thinking???  This had bad news written all over it. Sigh...at least it looks like we're going to get some 'protective, hurt/comfort' Brian here eventually, which is good.  Not so sure how I'll handle Justin's torture/abuse, though; will have to see about that. Glad you will have warnings about it, and it won't be too graphic.

Looking forward to the next part, Jessie!  And I kind of prefer "I'll Come for You," since that seems more promising than the other title.;)  *Hugs* ~Kim

Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing Kim!  And in my opinion Michael is always an idiot so this was just an extention of that lol :).  And there is blame all around, and that is going to continue to pop up quite a bit.  And my favorite kind of Brian is a protective one (I'm sure that comes as a surprise to nobody) and he will definitely be making a big appearance in this later on.  Justin's abuse is going to be intense, but I'm going to be warnings in each of those chapters as well in case people want to skip over that.  But like I said, I didn't write anything too graphic because I don't like it either.  Thanks for voting and I'm glad you like it so far!  <3
