Oh WOW! I was not expecting that!

I was really wondering how everything was going to work out... Especially when Andy died and they were caught and everything was going wrong! That really was some dream Josh had  As Josh thought, very far fetched and ridiculous! The 'dream' certainly brought things into perspective for Josh and he realized life could be so much worse than just being blind. Love it! Brilliant ending

Wow, okay! That was not the ending that I expected at all.Can't really argue with it either, you've found a way to get Josh and Andy and Kyle off the hook without going into morally murky areas and brought back Hannah and Oscar into the bargain.(Okay, Andy still killed Jake and goodness knows what really happened to Charlotte, but I can live with that.)Now if only the show could write it off as some ridiculous dream that someone had...

Thanks everybody! I really appreciate you all taking the time to read and comment. I'm glad you liked the ending. I was a bit nervous about it! I always said I'd never do an 'it was all a dream' ending but it really is the only way out if you want people to have a happy ending.  As discussed previously, a life on the run would be no life at all. I didn't want that for my guys. We had to go back to where things really went wrong! If Josh had never uttered those fateful words 'I had to cover for you...' with Charlotte outside to hear it, then none of this awful chain of events would have happened. Josh getting his sight back like that was so totally ridiculous (I hate the writers for that) that it could easily have been part of some crazy dream. I liked the idea that he'd have this 'It's a Wonderful Life' kind of epiphany as a result and realise that life was still worth living. Being blind wasn't the worst thing in the world. There are a lot worse things! Letting go of his anger would be a really big step (and hopefully prevent something like the caravan park explosion from happening. If Josh is willing to forgive Tank then I think Andy would be more inclined to). I know there are a few holes in the story (more than a few) like what happened to Charlotte (I like to think that she just left, or is in prison) and where Brax is (in my mind, he's still on the run and Josh doesn't know that he's still alive) but the show doesn't worry about those things, so why should I? Lol! Again, thanks for reading everyone!

(And Red, I'm especially glad you liked it! It's not the ending I originally intended but I couldn't help agreeing with you that some fairytale ending where they got to sip mojitos on a beach wasn't going to work. Life on the run would be a nightmare. Glad you're not out for my blood so! Haha!)

Wow, I'm slightly bewildered that my little rant managed to change your ending.Even if you did still find a way to give the boys a happy ending.Almost makes me feel bad that I'm going to be slightly less generous to them.Twice, probably.

Haha! I think it ended up a lot better to be honest. I kind of changed direction when I realised that it was more interesting to push them to the brink (and over it) before bringing them back. (My mind always goes to dark places, I can't really help it!) I'd never been quite sure that a mojito-sipping ending was what I wanted but you did push me a bit towards this one, I'll admit that! lol! 

I am genuinely looking forward to your one   I will probably really enjoy it, even if (when) you do give them a miserable ending in life. Those poor boys!

It's only going to be a short one, around three chapters. Actually it's been pretty much completed in my head for so long that when I couldn't sleep last night I basically sat down and typed out virtually the whole thing except the last scene.(It was four o'clock in the morning, I was starting to flag.)So I should get the first chapter up some time next week, once we've got past Andy and Josh's departure in the UK and I know I'm not getting any details wrong.

Then I've got this hideously complicated idea for a story, which will tread similar ground but do a lot more beside, which is insanely ambitious and which I occasionally crumple into a heap thinking about.

Wow! That certainly sounds interesting. two stories? (and you're going to be really nasty to my boys in both of them?  Those poor Barretts! Lol)  Good luck with that then! I look forward to reading them.
