I really thought for a good sec that Oliver was in the car and Felix was giving Oliver what he wanted to protect his family.
Had to reread to realize it was Giovanni and I’m just stupid.
Was lowkey screaming at the fact that Felix was with Oliver, and that didn’t even happen, so istg the author better finish up the plots with Oliver cause this drama is enough.

Yknow what? In the beginning I thought it was weird that Chase liked Joel, but then I saw it more as comedic relief and decided to ignore it. However, with all that’s happening in this story rn, it just doesn’t make any sense.
Joel and Chase should not end up together.
The story started through Andy’s POV, where he sees the ‘big and bad’ Jesse and his teacher in the midst of breaking up their relationship. We learn that this teacher has been preying on the students and trying to get sexual acts from them.
We even managed to see the teacher get in a lot of trouble due to his actions.
And now we’re supposed to just ignore all of that and support a relationship between Joel (an ADULT) and Chase (a MINOR)?
What ‘age is just a number’? What ‘he’s far younger than me’ ‘oh that’s great!’ ?! This is so fcked up. Chase is a minor, period. Joel is a fucking police cop that’s really thinking of dating a minor?
Not only that, but Joel is a disgusting person. He’s hypocritical on so many levels. Jesse is right: he doesn’t even care about his own son but tries to be a ‘good dad’ to Chase? Like cmon, he was totally using Chase to feel better about himself since he’s a failure of a father to Jesse.
Chase was just a replacement for Jesse.
And now Joel loves Chase? YIKES.
Chase is a victim here. He didn’t even know that Joel was Jesse’s dad, or that Joel was using him until now.
Honestly fuck Joel, he sucks.

I honestly think that Chase was never a victim. He was never naive and innocent. He was manipulating. He used things and situations in his favor. He blackmailed Jesse being Joel's watchdog. And he pretended to be Joel's watchdog but in reality was wanting to seduce Joel. It is sad but this is just a result of his actions. He was not deceived nor manipulated. Jesse openly objected to him dating Joel but Chase shamelessly chases after Joel. Chase is a Chaser. The author gave him a very fitting name.

How could anyone hate the brothers? They lost their sister, and then their parents straight up replaced their sis with a look-a-like. Not only that, but the parents show favouritism and bias to the adopted child, always taking her side instead of the actual children.
The brothers don’t seem to get much love from their parents, so it’s normal for them to feel jealousy or even hatred towards the adopted child. Why should they like someone that stole their parents’ love from them, and is replacing their dead sister.
That doesn’t make their actions right, but it explains why they bully her.
Also, the fact that the dad hit the oldest (Eugene) for no good reason (he just ate her candy damn) makes the parents seem more shady than they already are. Possibly Eugene was preventing her from eating the candy bc it was related to the death of their sister (Eugene is pretty mature, so there’s likely another reason behind the candy thing).
The parents are so disappointing.
This was a pretty good story until this drama started. Like it’s just Niel misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions about Jenson without taking the time to actually communicate with him.
Not only that, he keeps getting pep talks from his friend and even his own ex, yet continues to ignore Jenson and make his own assumptions.
He knew he was in the wrong, and yet still blamed it on Jenson in the beginning of the conversation. Holy, he’s gotten so annoying.
He’s victimizing himself, and Jenson honestly has the soul of a saint to be able to be so patient in explaining everything to Niel.
Niel: ‘oh I won’t let the same things in high school repeat over again’ and ‘I’ll properly talk to Jenson and listen to him’
Also Niel: lemme jump to conclusions again
