So full of strong emotions and human drama ... like Shakespeare. Bittersweet. Thank you so much for posting.
If Tyler had not been killed, Austin would have been spared the martyrdom with Eric and Eric's parents. Tyler's parents and especially mother are really sweet and also Aaron is nothing but helpful and loyal. Tyler's family would have supported Austin after his parents' death. Also, I really believe that Tyler came to love Austin truely and deeply. They could have both gone to college and built a life together. I wish Tyler had kept lying to Jennifer and had just gone to the police behind her back! Why tell her and risk her wrath? Risk his love, his life? Most men do not perceive women as a threat and that proved lethal. Alas... what lies ahead for Austin at the hands of Eric is pure torture.
Such a heartbreaking chapter. I'm awaiting the next one with baited breath. Poor Austin.
