ok, i've read the chapter, the whole story in a few days, but i'm not saying that this is the way things are, but another version of it.
ok, here we have brandon, really broken hearted over what billy did.
maybe? just maybe? he kinda like hired stevie to get back at billy, and to test him to see how faithful he really is. if he goes and runs back to bobby, or even goes as far as to hit on stevie, he fails.
i have no idea of what comsie is going to do, but i wouldn't put anything past him.
brandon is waaay to nice in this scenario, not to have some plan at work.
i mean, come on, he really loves billy, and billy loves him. but what would you do to test that out???
hehe, that's why i live under a rock, right??
