this was very good. i only wish it were longer. and i wanted to know how his parents were killed

hey! loved the story; it was too cute. =]
as for a bit of constructive criticism, id like to point out that in the beginning, many of your sentences have the same structure.

eg: "walking over, joey..."
"walking into the kitchen, joey..."
"walking out..., joey..."
"finding the fuse box..., joey..."

i just wanted to point that out. if you feel changing it is unnecessary, thats fine with me. im not a professional. just thought id put in my 2 cents. :)

i loved it!

nice this was very well writen and i thank you for sharing it also the things at the end they do happen in real life and i love that you write about it

For some weird, absurd reason...I was actually rooting for Joey to go through therapy...I just probably would have liked to see more drama lmao.

(I'm a complex entity (yes human being cannot describe me)

Well, I'm off to read your CRDP series.

Hey this story was great! One thing though, when it says "Mumbling to himself as he poured a cop" I think you mean "Mumbling to himself as he poured a cup".
I really enjoyed this!

i am so in love with you!..seriously !!..every time you write a story i just fell in love with the character and the story that i just feel that im walking into a paradise..you are just that GOOD!..you do great story, the plot are not boring, the characters are super duper hot and you are one of the few writer in here that i truly truly like and love reading the stories!..and this one will be be added to one of my favorite story list!

that was great!

maybe a sequel!

you made me cry, do you have any idea how rare that is? of course you dont, but that was a complement.

The only part I didn't really enjoy was the “it's one of those hosted by the church, you’ll find God and love, and within a year you’ll be able to find a wife.” Of course, there are plenty of people who share such opinions but one must be cautious when writing it so harshly. I mean, I'm gay, and I still have a place for God in my life--and I'm Catholic, too. I think in the context of the story it functions as a plot device, but I'd advise maybe to soften them up a little as characters. I mean, they are Joey's siblings, and not paper dolls. Chances are, as his family, even if they think they're doing the best thing, they'd still love him. (Mine did. :) ) Be careful not to overcharacterize, as it makes stories seem a little soap-opera, and cheap, and no one wants their writing to feel that way.

And by the way, that sex scene was unhealthy for someone like myself. *fans self* Now you got me all turned on! :P

Absolutely beautiful. Almost made me cry hehe.

This was another fantabulous story! LOVED it!

Nice one-shot. :] Shame there's no more to see from these characters!

Aww that was so sweet. Keep up the great work

A few typos, but I've decided not to be a ** about it :P

so cute! gut wrenching too, at the part with his brother and sister. Good job.
