Tiniest Teaser Ever for TOWJWAGABI, Part 8

[myrna1_2_3]

Oh how this part is vexing me! I can't string two words together in the QAF universe right now! I open the story and instead of working on it, I play 6,395 games of Solitaire.

Here's a bit of a teaser for the next part! I'm hoping that posting it will inspire me to keep going!

Oh man oh man oh man. So much to say here.

Dan finally grew some balls when faced with the realization that Justin wouldn't just go happily along. I'm really proud of Justin though, for considering himself. FINALLY. I'm still pissed at Dan of his fear though- not knowing if he wants Justin to go or not? What more to consider? I know he's not purposely treating Justin like a dirty secret but nonetheless. Blanch and say what he wants about Justin's family but at least they're visible and vocal. Justin pretty much knows where he stands with all of them now even after one night of puttanesca and sarcastic barbs.

And to be smacked in the face of Kevin's association in and around Dan's life just must have cut Justin to the core. *bawls*

Life's sacrifices cause us much grief and I wonder what Brian might have to say about this. On one hand I feel that he'll be devastated if Justin goes because that will signal to *him* that Justin's finally cut the ties. Then he'd be pissed thinking that Justin's a lap dog, following Dan and fuck all to college.

On the other hand, if Justin tells Brian that he's not going, Brian's liable to accost and accuse Justin of not having balls...not taking chances even if it means a second chance for him. Dios Mio.

I'm sure I'm completely wrong on that but, hm.

I wonder does Brian figure into any of these hard decisions for Brian? I remember in the last part, Justin said, "I think I fucked some things up." What does all that mean and to whom is it correlated- Justin or Justin and Brian, if at all?

But it was a good wake up call for him too. Justin kept thinking Dan just needed time to get used to being out, but it wasn't "outness" that made Dan uncomfortable it was the "unseemliness" of his relationship with a much-younger Justin.

Poor sweet, hurt Justin!

What does all that mean and to whom is it correlated- Justin or Justin and Brian, if at all?

So many questions! Such an inability on my part to get them articulated!

Hearing these ideas and thoughts are SO helpful though in getting me to really get this part finished!
