dead on with this, I've been in a situation like this and it was years ago and I still beat myself up over it, but at the time, I was frozen. It was one of those lessons I guess I had to learn, not to be a jerk like that.

first, thanks for two chapters again. Good ones, great ones, captivating and real. Luke has a half way decent place to live, but I agreed with Milo when I was reading it, why not give his place to some kid who really needs it. Course, I changed my mind on the next chapter with Milo having such a hard time of it. Luke's making the best of it anyway, and that's definitely him, and he'll be fine as long as he's not merked or anything, you made him quietly courageous and very hard not to love for anyone except real bad homophobes. I finally figured out that Milo isn't empathetic with people he meets, not even his so called friends, really. He's just real smart. And real dumb, too. He knows how to be, with Luke he is almost to obsession. He's scared shitless of love, or caring or any of it, but needs it too, so what does he do? What sort of tests must Luke pass to be trusted deep down? I think you've done a brillant job with this story. So many writers make their characters the way they wish they could be, not even able to put into words what you seem to do so easy. So I'm completely impressed so far. ^____^

Now, the dose of reality you shot at Milo... what will he do with it? Luke, I'm not worried about him yet. But I'll have to wait and see... no prob waiting patiently. Somewhat. oh and, writing is all about being yourself, or its not much good for anything, you may be loved, hated, whatever, but you'll still be GOOD. K? Thanks

It's sad because I know he was maybe a little afraid of what they were going to day, but mostly of what they would do, and he was trying to protect then both. Good chapter.

I found myself cringing through the whole ch. I have to say that I am rather disappointed in himi but like you said it was being honest. I can understand the procastination bit because I do it myself when I don't like what my character does. And I don't hate you.

Oh dear. I don't hate you. I hate Milo right now...quite a lot. I understand how he might feel but I can't stand that he hurt Luke like that. This last chapter just totally broke my heart. I have to go find some tissues now.

Chapter 26

Love the honest feelings you portray!! So real and heart felt!!
I think one of the definitions of an artist is a person
that is able to recognize beauty in some form and then accurately depict
said beauty into another medium, whether it be marble, water color, or writing.

Thanks for your writing!

Bad Milo! You just fucked everything up! God. Maybe he shouldn't have gone to school. I just love how you write these characters. They're not perfect at all and that's what makes them amazing. I feel so sorry for Luke. I can't imagine how he must feel since it's like Milo's betraying him. God. Such a peculiar situation. I hope they can work through this... Especially Milo... He cares too much what people think.

Awwwwww, poor Luke *cries*! What an ass Milo is... but a completely understandable ass. I dont know what I'd do if put in that situation, but I'd be absolutley crushed if I was Luke. God, that must be hard. I really feel for Milo, though, that completely understandable ass...lol. Great chapter, update soon please!!!
