I like it, too!
"They live on the other side of the TV for me." What a cool way to put it! This is good, Bailey! It was so dark before, but now! Maybe it's because it was so dark that it almost seems like sunrise this time, like the light is coming in. Very cool! I love it!
Wren
Phrase
Yes, Wren, that one about the TV jumped out at me too. Elegant, simple, eloquent. Me like.
Ilike this!
It is dark but I still grt the self hate all too well.
Sweet Dreams...I'll never have them-3
Like how Alex and Hunter are bonding.

Not the TV, but the painting
that kicked me in the guts. The pure pain in those paragraphs hurt like a fresh wound. However I do understand the reference to the Tube. Non-dysfunctional families that has nice stuff and isn't living from hand to mouth does seem like a TV fantasy. To Hunter's I'm sure it's even more unbelievable.
The poor child is in such a state I'm still fearing for him/her. I'm still not convinced the attraction to Alex isn't simple desperation for any kind of affection. He's a haven for now, but not a solution. Hunter needs a lot of help, I'm not sure he/she can even accept if offered. Just too much distrust and hurt in the past.
Very powerful writing that so moved me, I had to go walk it off before I could comment.

I'm with Grover...
I fucking hate myself.
I hate Alex.
I hate what he makes me feel.
I hate he’s taking care of me.
I hate that I need him so much.
I hate that I want him.
I’m scared.
I’m not supposed to be this way.
I don't know how many times I've said or thought something similar...and there's really nothing else I can say. Thank you, Bailey.
Dio vi benedica tutti
Con grande amore e di affetto

Love, Andrea Lena
The obvious
..stating it, but absolutely right. Is this a case of grabbing at a frst sign of affection? Well said.
I am with ya Grover.
Deep inside, maybe his love for Hunter is simply the need for a Father's love.
It is too late, but sometimes I wonder if my desire to be woman was simply the rejecting of being man if man is like my stepfather. The only reasoning a child can do.
Sometimes I wonder if I had real father if I would simply have been effiminate male?

You are starting to have them Hunter.
Sweet dreams. They're coming kid. It really looks as though your about to start having them. Hope Alex is a decent guy that is one who does not kill his butterflies and pin them into his collection.
If he's decent kid. You'll have sweet dreams.
Beverly.
Growing old disgracefully.

'the stark reality of life,Bailey, a life that is hard to explain for those who haven't seen what goes on in some areas
of our world----but you do it so well.

Okay, Now that the Unbiased Opinions Are In....
jlattimer@neo.rr.com ....I can't help it! I have to comment. Anyone who read our blog knows that I'm totally In Love With The author, But this.... this brought up so much 'Stuff' for me that I didn't even realize or want to admit was there. He knows me too well, if there is such a thing.
There've been comments on the TV, the painting(O.K. that got to me too. I was a Fine Art major), but there were two things that just broke my heart. 'working heat' and Hunter 'feeling like he would 'stain' the place'.
Is it any wonder why I Love This Man So Much? He totally 'gets' it. He understands me better than anyone else ever has.

Alex
I wish I had met someone like Alex years ago! A man like Alex is someone that I needed so badly in my late teens.
I think that Hunter will be fine, do well in this strange new alien world that he/she is now in.
Bailey,
Thanks for writing this story. I've cried while reading each of the chapters so far. Even though my life was much better then Hunter's, I did live through some of the same kind of hell you so vividly describe in this story, so I can really relate to what Hunter's going through.
Keep up the great writting Bailey, I look forward to reading all of the rest of your stories.
((((HUGS))))

Thanks so much TamaraJeanne:)
Hunter's life was at that point fiction but with a lot of reality mixed in there too. I hope ou continue to enjoy Hunter's journey.
*Great Big Hugs*

Regardless, a hospital is a must
Hunter's reasons for staying out of the hospital may seem valid to him, but getting his ribs broken from Cliff kicking can be serious.
He could have a punctured lung, or a broken rib close to his heart. And if he developed pneumonia, then what? What if the broken ribs don't heal properly?
If no hospital, then maybe Alex knows a doctor who makes discrete house calls?
Others have feelings too.
