@OMG Girl the only thing you've managed to convince me of is that you need therapy

@Just a Reader Girl, you're a maniac. Get help. You do get that all of those thousands of fake votes you've left on all these people's comments show up on the notifications, right? I mean you must know since you're clearly voting on your own. Everyone who's left a comment you've gone on a rampage on knows it's fake. We see that the real votes comes from accounts with names at different times, meanwhile your fake stuff shows up as dozens upon dozens of anonymous angry votes at the same moment?

And for anyone wondering why Ian is planning to leave TJ, even though they're constantly sleeping with each other... Well so far we've found out that TJ ruined Ian's leg and future as an athlete, which Ian secretly knows but was too scared of confronting him about, both slept around with others instead of committing to a relationship with each others, TJ put him in severe debt through Jason (we don't know if Ian knows TJ was behind that) so Ian had to continue to commit crimes against his will, so he couldn't leave the gang that made Ian a murderer and made him think they're all monsters including himself, a life that made him feel like he deserves bad karma, has put his life in danger, and made him unable to fall asleep without s**. They have until now been together for 19 years and during that time shared such an unhappy life together that Ian even was a drug addict at one point... So Ian believes they can only be happy if they're apart and therefore got plans to disappear. 

@K It was hard when you were disproven, huh? I'm not refuting the author considering the author isn't making any claims here, I'm refuting lies you've made.

@LucidNarwhal feel free to go back and read, it might help you be less delulu

7) Chapter 6, first date eating. 

@K 5)  Just normal debt for protection? Willing participant? Hm... 
Chapter 10, outsider who knows it's effed up: "This arrangement is kinda harsh. Who charges this much for two years prison protection plus interest. Jason probably thought you'd give up on leaving if he demanded this much. [...] But I know he did it cuz he really likes you. So don't be too hard on him, for old times sakes."

6) Let's not minimise TJs involvement in what he caused: chapter 17, "TJ asked us to do it. TJ came to see us last week. He said Ian would be there if we went to the bar that day and asked us to restrain him. We just did as we were asked. Him falling from the second floor really was an accident." As a result, Ian lost his sponsorship, ended up in hospital and didn't have a future where he could leave. In same chapter we see Ian interrupting TJ and thinking it's better to pretend to not know.   Just normal debt for protection? Willing participant? Hm...

@K 4) TJ hasn't forced Ian? And Ian wants to stay? Hm... 
chapter 13, Ian on his knees in front of TJ and others: "I don't want to do this anymore... Let me go, Boss." 
Convo afterwards:
Jason "He was never suited for this work from the beginning. What can I do? I have to let him do what he wants."
TJ "I need him."
Jason "Hey you're going to make him do those two years-" 
TJ "He'll find it hard to survive on clean work anyways. I'm gonna tie him down with money. If he wants to pay it back, he'll have to pay fees for protection during imprisonment, plus interest. All of it."
Jason "Do you think that's go to change his mind? If he was that kind of guy, he wouldn't be doing this right now. He'll kill himself trying to pay it back."
TJ "I know. I'm just buying time."

Chapter 15
Ian "Should I tell Jason I'm going to quit?" 
TJ "Why?" 
Ian "It's just... I already have some money saved... And I was thinking it might be better to do something else..."
TJ "You did? All this time? 
Ian "Yeah, what about you? "
TJ "No way I'm quitting. [...] So don't get any ideas about straying. You know I need you."
Ian's thoughts "Yeah... I know that all too well."

Chapter 26, TJs thoughts: "I can't help but use and lean on your guilt just so I can keep you with me a little longer."

@K  1) Ian has no plans? Hm... 

@twin towers destroyer I think so. Jo and Ian went out on dates in the beginning and slept with each other, but then Jo found out about Ian having others and they decided to be just friends. When Jo confronted Ian about it, Ian told him it was because he couldn't sleep without having s** with ppl and Jo didn't believe it... But then after Jo had gone home he came back to Ian and they both tell each other they like one another and sleep together again. Ian is supposed to spend Christmas with Jo's family, but that's when he finds out Jason has died and someone has tried to kill TJ.

@twin towers destroyer The person who died is Jason, the old boss of Ian and TJ. Jason has left money for Ian after his death, and Ian plans to use it to run away from TJ. A couple of chapters ago TJ found out that Ian was preparing to run away and has started to regret his life choices. The hallucination mocking Ian about repentance was a close friend that Ian killed after the man attacked him. Some members think Ian is a traitor for leaving but they can't kill him while TJ is around. TJ was the one who got Ian involved in crime and forced him to stay. While being with TJ, Ian has been a drug addict, murdered multiple people, gone to prison, been forced into debt by TJ and TJ also hired some guys that accidentally broke Ian's legs when he was young so his career as an athlete was ruined and he couldn't leave TJ. Ian knows TJ did that but won't confront him because he's too miserable about the truth. He also struggles with other emotions, like he can't fall asleep without having s** with someone. TJ and Ian often have s**, but both are also sleeping with other people, and Ian consider their relationship over but TJ don't agree. There's also Jo, who really likes Ian and they've started to sleep with each other lately after dating and being friends. Jo's cousin, Chris, has a gambling problem and is in debt. He's stolen money and is secretly spying on Ian
