Wonderful update. Love how Sandy and Kirsten are there for him. And will not let him go through this alone. They will always be there to take care of him.

Thanks for commenting! That's precisely the point : Ryan's got to realize that he's not all by himself now!

Riveting update. I admit, the snatches of dialogue you included from Ryan's memories were almost too powerful and painful. They made me feel sick (as they should, of course. That's the strength of such raw, descriptive writing. It's just ironic since I'm the one who decided what was in the photos in the first place!) But I'm so, so glad that you brought the secret to light. Ryan could not have coped with it on his own, but now the question is: how will Sandy deal with Mitch? And how is Seth going to handle the situation?

P.S. Let me know if nobody claims the next part. As the person who put the story in motion, I'll figure out some way to end it--but I hope I don't have to!

Thanks for commenting! Right now, noone's claimed the next part so I keep you informed!

Unless I've missed something, it doesn't seem like anyone's claimed the next chapter, yet.

...

*raises hand timidly*

*whispers* I'll take it?

If that's okay.

I just did the previous chapter, but no one's taking it.

My problem is keeping Ryan in character while having him deal with stuff and talk with the Cohens. But, if no one minds if he's kinda out-of-character, then, well...

I'd give it another shot.

And the good thing is that school's out, so I have some extra time. I *do* have to go in to work a bunch, in the next few weeks, and I'm taking care of my niece and nephew in the afternoons/evenings for 5 days, next week, but I'll stil have some time.

SO, let me know if anyone else has claimed it? And, if they haven't, I'll take it.

*I* am too interested in this story to simply let it die!

:)

Thanks!

p.s. I'm glad you "friended" me!

[brassebouillon]

Sure! Yeah! Take it! I am so looking forward to reading the next part!!
Pet your boys for me! (on the icon, it's me and my boy, the 'Incredible Obnoxious because too spoilt Lex', 5 years old and still waking me up 3 times all the night...I love him...)

Wonderfully written. Ryan's anguish and humiliation is so evident. Let's hope that having the Cohen's around to support him will let him finally put this part of his past behind him.

Thanks for your nice comment!

Oy - this is difficult!

"All the arms around him now" The Cohens arms.( Seth standing near the door, mouth wide-open, tears in his eyes.) *gulp*.

This is a wonferful story and you've given us a great update brassebouillon.
I admire each one of tou for each chapter you have individually written and for steadily building it into an incredibly interesting and emotional story.
Thanks for letting Ryans tears fall so freely.it's exactly what he needs at this time.

It's got me by the heartstrings and needing to shed a few /lot tears of my own. Thanks to you all. *sniffles.sobs*
