Skip is being rash again. He's going to run, isn't he? Marcus better hurry! Great job!

Aww. Marcus and Skip just continued to go at it. I'm amused though.

There was a part that rattled my mind though: "Patrick gave a little ironic smile . . . Simon narrowed his eyes at Skip and then at Simon." Yeah, that entire paragraph section just confused me.

Otherwise, good chapter. This story sure does revolve around a small world. And I guess Skip wasn't as pissed or Simon as revengeful as I had thought. Oh well! I'll save the rest for later.

Velvet.

Parris has a funny voice message. I loved it!

And what's this? Patrick and Simon? I wasn't really expecting anything to happen between Skip and Patrick, but I mean come on? Patrick is his friend! Oh, oh, I get it. Is Simon doing this in revenge? Cruel, but genius.

I wish I could get through this story, but the chapters are so long and I never have time! But fear not! I will get through the chapters soon. It's the holidays, anyway, so I can do it!

Good job with this one, though. I enjoyed reading it. Oh, and "'I think you should spend no more than another week surveying the landscape, and then you should run for your life.'" I cracked up when I read that. Good work.

Velvet.

Skip makes me so mad! Why must he do this to Marcus? I just want to go and smack him over the head. His running away needs to stop. I only hope that Marcus can help him get over his ridiculous insecurity. Thanks so much for the update! I can't wait for the next one.

Roxy confuses me O_o But I am amused by the all-red colour-coding. Heh. Wow, Skip can be difficult to track down! I'm impressed by Marcus's perseverance. Haha, the make-up section is terrifying XD Poor Skip. Urk, Patrick's bitter, isn't he? I hope he gets over that...I have the desire to smack him. D: Oh no! He's gonna lose his job? Then what's he going to do? Hm...I don't see him going back to school...maybe he can sell art or something? Hm... Oh, he finally burned them. I still don't get the knife. He better not be planning to kill himself! O_O

Patrick was a VERY big jerk this chapter and excuse or no I really don't like it. I feel for Skip. His life is kinda being shattered. I hope Markus does something. Skip can't be left hanging after something like that. :) great job!

Okay, this was an awesome chapter. Finally find out Skip's history and he's so insecure! Aww! He probably needs a hug.

Now the only person who needs to be found out is this Manic Mario. He must be really crazy or something.

And what was with Patrick leaving Skip when he was all depressed and stuff? What kind of friend is that? Hmm. Well, I'll save this story for another day. Good work with it, though.

Velvety.

Aww, poor Skip. And so we do find out who Simon is. Wonder why the two broke up. Hmm.

Hah, it was so cute that Marcus and Skip were talking with the other and they didn't know who it really was. That made me smile.

"'as attractive in the flesh as he is in the word.'" I was cracking up when I read that. Hilarious.

Good job, I loved it. This story is good.

VelvetyCheerio.

The only thought that came to mind after reading about how Skip didn't like to be "disturbed" was "I like to be shaken, not stirred." XD I don't know why, but that part of conversation made me laugh.

As for the rest of the chapter. Well. Nice, detail. Hmm, erotica has never really been my forte, but I have to give you props for amazing characters, just the right amount of suspense and humor, and a great plot. Not many people can pull that off all at the same time.

Speaking of suspense, who is this Simon person? I have a feeling he's going to be a pivotal figure. Nice work, nonetheless.

VelvetyCheerio.

Well, it's getting easier for Marcus to drag the truth out of Skip... Urk, but the sketchbooks! Skip should probably start hiding those...O_o Stupid Marcus, poking through things...but I guess he has more insight, now? Aw, Patrick's being mean...Skip really can't win. At least Parris can keep a secret...I'm impressed! Too bad everyone has so little faith in Skip, though... I wonder what he's doing with that knife? The matches, I understand...but the knife? Hm...

Wow, now everything really is out on the table. Thanks so much for this update. So much happens in this chapter.

I really enjoy reading this story. It has a very realistic feel to it and your characters have a depth that many stories overlook. I look forward to reading more.

Ah, I like this. Marcus and Skip needed that talk. Skip has very interesting views on life, but he makes everything so complicated it's almost exhausting. great job though!

Skip lives in a very sketchy little area, doesn't he? O_o Well, at least it's close to work...and well-hidden... And he is like the most dishonest honest person ever! Marcus should probably just ignore anything he says and read his body language. Or learn telepathy. Whichever works. But yay! Questions and answers! And more background on the whole Dwayne situation...ouch :S Well, I don't blame Skip for being edgy about relationships and the prospect of being dumped...with the way his relationships have been going...? Urk. Poor guy. Maybe Marcus can fix all that...hee. Woo, sleepover! XD

Thanks for the update! I am so happy this chapter is finally here. I had been dying to know what all Skip had done and this really cleared it up. The only thing I'm still wondering is why Dwayne has nightmares. Could it be from guilt of what happened to Skip? That might give me nightmares if I were in his position. I just don't see anything in the way of Marcus and Skip's relationship anymore so they should hurry up and get together and then send out a newsletter that explains how the misunderstandings that surround Skip. I can't wait to see where the story goes.
