Yes, I've created so much drama with all of them, haven't I? They just make it too easy, especially JC. Angst just seems to be drawn to him, lol.

I'm still working on the ending, but I think you'll like it. :)

Yeah, this story is all about the Lou hate, lol. Hope you're enjoying yourself though.

Thanks for the review!

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's horrible when something like that happens.

But I'm glad that you're enjoying the story. I don't know if I can promise that it'll be happier because things have to get worse before they get better. However, I usually make sure the story ends with some resolution so try to hang in there a bit.

Thanks for the review!

I figured you would be, and yes it was about time, lol. I'm happy to hear that you're still enjoying yourself.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Nah, that would've been too easy if Lynn had gotten JC to talk, lol. JC's pretty stubborn, so he stupidly hangs onto things when he shouldn't.

I think you'll really like next week's chapter. ;) Thanks for the positive words!

I'm glad that you can picture Justin so easily. It'd been a bit of struggle to make sure he wasn't coming off as a total bratty kid. And yeah, JC's being so secretive...as usual, lol.

Thanks so much for the review! I always enjoy hearing what you think. :)

Thanks! I really tried to make sure I captured their personality in this time and place. I always normally focus on anaylzing their personalities and making sure that everything they do in the story makes sense based on that, but this time was especially difficult. In all of my other stories, they've been friends for years so they had this great friendship built up. But in this one, their friendship is in its beginning stages so their dynamic would be different.

But anyway, thanks for the kind words! I love writing group fiction, and I'm glad to see that you appreciate the little stuff. :)

I'm happy that you're enjoying it, especially the beginning. I had a lot of fun writing that. :)

Thanks for the review!

Yeah, having Joey around is definitely a good thing. As far as the intensity level, it's interesting that you think it's so intense already because we're not even to the climax yet, lol.

Thanks for such great comments!

I know that JC's pretty frustrating right now, but I hope you're not too angry at him. Things are going to get more complex, and he's going to have to figure things out.

Overall, I hope that you're enjoying the story and don't hate JC too much, lol.

Yeah, Chris can be pretty perceptive when he wants to be. Gotta love that about him, lol. But I guess you're going to have to wait and find out if one of them realizes what's going on. ;)

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I don't really want to say. You're just going to have to keep reading to find out, but I promise that things get a lot more complex.

Thanks for the review! 

I'm sorry that you want to cry for JC. Hopefully I'm not bringing you down too much because there may be more hatred towards Lou before the story's over.

Thanks for your comment!
