Seriously, I am so angry with the way Jason is just all about Michael and there sits Spinelli quietly doing everything in his power to help him be all about Michael. I want to cry out on his behalf, "What about me, don't I count, don't I matter?" Then of course I want the answer to be an unqualified, unadorned, "Yes, you bet you do!"
That is what this story accomplished. Jason showed his primary concern for Spinelli. He trusted Spinelli NOT Michael to tell the truth. He was scared and worried for Spinelli. He realized that he wasn't willing to put up with Michael's antics if it meant putting Spinelli at risk in any way.
Michael is a self-entitled brat who may have some genuine emotional issues but it isn't always up to Jason to rescue him or fix things. I certainly don't want him valuing him above Spinelli. I know I'll probably never see something like this on the show so I am even more thankful for your story. You made me very happy!
I really, really LIKED this!
