I feel so bad for Justin here. His mother is letting his father get away with what he is doing and Justin is the one suffering for it. And thank goodness Brian is his neighbor. He sure went above and beyond to help Justin out; to feel a little better with every interaction. Like you said, here's to better times....

I wrote this one when I was feeling sad too - it was cathartic getting it out and empathizing with Justin here. Wish I'd had a Brian to share his pain killer with me... Thanks for reading. TAG

So good, and just maybe they both have a wee bit of hope now - hope that things can be, and will be, better.

Wow, intense but amazing... I know you already have a lot on your writing plate, but I would absolutely love to have this story continued!

This story made me smile and experience heartache at the same time. I cheered for Brian. I wept with Justin.
I thought this was so evocative of the pain of Brian's upbringing and Justin's rejection by his father. It also made think of the PTSD they both suffered in the show.
Brian's cleverness with the sticky notes was a big hit with me. :)
I love the hopeful, sweetly romantic ending. <3

Hiya Tags,
*snif*
Yep, you mad me cry! Seriously cry!
20 years ago I was Justin. Contemplating suicide and seeing not a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Then someone reappeared in my life and literally saved me. I'll forever be grateful for her presence in my life.
So yeah, this story hit home hard, really, really hard.
And it may be way off from your usual style but I dare say, this is a masterpiece. It really tugged at my heart. Justins despair is so palpable, Brians concern so heartwarming.
Thank you for writing this heartbraker and making me feel thankfull for everyone and everything that is now part of my happy life.
XOXO

I have so many emotions running through me right now. I just wanted to jump into the story and cuddle Justin. To make him see that everything is okay. And then Brian being adorable with the sticky notes and texting, that was perfect/ I know you said the end, but I wish it wasn't LOL. I want to know that Brian stops the tears forever, that he gets to go to the college of his dreams... AHHHH TAG, :)

Interesting story, with a little drama and lots of hope.
I loved the exchanges (Beam, aspirin, notes, texts) and also the fact Brian didn't try to pick up Justin at the diner, but took time to observe.

This was a very sweet story. I enjoyed Brian's internal dialogue pacing the story. It was good, thx.

Thank you so much for addressing Depression. I've suffered with this for many years and could relate on so many levels. Because of it is why I began writing in the first place as a way to take control of it and not the other way around. It's always been a deep-dark, well-kept secret and you showed that with class, elegance and humility so again I'm grateful!
Hugs and Love,

There's no reason why it should be kept secret - that just feeds all our fears and insecurities, you know. I'm glad you liked this, though. Thanks for reading. TAG

It takes one to know one. Maybe together they can get past this.
