Your chapters are certainly not getting wore, in fact, I think this might be my favorite chapter so far! I loved how Frank came to visit them, it showed how much he cares about Mikey and how much he wants to help him. As for Mikey himself, the poor guy just seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. It's like he knows that he needs help, but he's just too scared to ask for it because he thinks he was in the wrong and that he's weak; like Frank/Gerard will get mad at him and leave if he tells either of them the truth. I thought the way you started this chapter was really clever, with a reference to the sandwich eating incident because it's making it clear that Gerard thought he was getting better even though Mikey only did it to please him. I guess lies fix nothing, no matter how many good intentions are behind them.
Awesome chapter and I can't wait for more! :D

Aw. Thank you very much. Its so nice to hear that you think this chapter is good. I'm really glad that, that point about Frank coming to visit them came through showing much he really cares and doesn't just mean to dump him on Gerard knowing Gerrd is pretty bad aswell. Yes, Mikey really isn't getting any better. You are completely right about him being afraid to ask for help, a point I was hoping to show strongly through the past couple of chapters. And the lies definitley do not help but Mikey only said them in hope of making Gerard feel better. I really am delighted that you liked it and I hope to have another update tonight.
