I'm really enjoying this. It's interesting seeing Oliver finding himself and growing as a person without the horror that was the island.

I agree with you about Laurel, Tommy and Felicity. Each one wants Oliver find his way and be happy, they just each gave a different way of expressing it.

Jasper is completely adorable and is slowly healing the hole in heart left by Rufus ;)

I can't wait to see what happens next.

Wow. Laurel's such a downer. I hope Ollie can live up to Felicity's expectations though. I REALLY don't want him to fail.

Great chapter!

I'm having so much fun with this story.

First, yay for Jasper. Oliver needs a completely nonjudgmental figure in his life, and animals are perfect for that.

But, he also needs some guidance as well, and it's interesting to see how Laurel, Tommy, and Felicity go about that.

More please!

I loved it!! Amazing chapter :D And Jasper sounds so adorable :D

I'm interested to see where Tommy and Oliver opening their own club goes and what happens with Laurel and Oliver. I enjoy seeing the way that Oliver puts more pressure on himself than people know.

This chapter is so good! I can really understand/relate to Oliver's struggle to find his own path since I'm basically going through the same thing right now. All the reactions from everybody he talks with (parents, Laurel, Tommy, & Felicity) are such completely different takes on the situation. I really appreciate seeing how everyone responds differently and no one way is presented as the "right" way because it is so *true*. Everyone responds differently.

That being said, I have to admit ending the chapter with the words: "And then it all went black." does not inspire much confidence in Oliver's situation. :p He was doing kinda well and then he partied to hard, and now I'm worried he missed his run with Jasper and got himself into a lot of trouble. Which will be fun to read how he tries to make it right and get out of it, but still it hurts a little after seeing him try to find his way.

This story is awesome & I can't wait to read what happens next!
