Hi! Just a little after scene...maybe not the happiest, though, haaah;;; I debated whether I wanted him to call his dad as soon as he got home and off page, or have him forget and call him immediately after the chapter ended. It felt a bit like a cop out to have it happen off page given that his dad made it such a big deal to call him when Louis got home (see their conversation from chapter 18). Given that I couldn't fit it into the chapter, I decided to go this route...sorry, Louis. At least he's not mad at you? :S
Thinking on it more, I think it makes sense to have this happen...Louis had a big night and wasn't really thinking "let's call dad" LOL. I feel like this little after scene also turned out much more somber than when I first thought of it, which I think works too. His dad hasn't been as awful in recent chapters, but there's still...stuff...lots of stuff...there. I kinda feel like the last panel gives that impression...Louis isn't in trouble, but he's still anxious about it all. HAHA THEIR RELATIONSHIP WILL SURE BE A FUN BAG OF WORMS FOR ME TO *REALLY* OPEN UP SOONER OR LATER-- 8')
ANYWAY-- I might upload the next chapter's cover midweek, but I haven't decided yet. I've been trying to work on redraws so I haven't built up a nice buffer quite yet for the next chapter, but it will be coming soon!

Louis Beau is a perfectionist and anxiety-ridden eleventh-grader attending Roseborough High. He lives with his strict and somewhat neglectful father, and constantly tries to best himself to make his father proud. His life, however, runs off course when he befriends Daniel, his ostracized classmate, and the two soon find themselves in a secret love affair. Louis struggles with his sexuality, and his growing fondness of Daniel, all the while trying to gain the approval of his father, his peers, and ultimately, his self.
