This sort of leaves you hanging, but the next part shouldn't be too long coming.
And here I hangs.

Oh My. My, oh my, oh my.

That's how coherent I was the first time I read this. Let's see if I can do a little better now.
Johnny doesn't doubt Ripps loyalty to him but he still turned around and kicked Ripp out.
Poor Ripp. Dammit, you almost brought me to tears! :(
Poor baby, Ripp. I can understand, he had to tell Johnny. It would have come out sooner or later and better sooner then later because it would have looked like he was trying to hide it, but, all the same, Damn, Ripp! Couldn't you keep one little secret? And here you had me thinking they'd done the whole 'kiss and make up' thing and maybe they would have.
I hope Johnny reconsiders. I hope Ophelia, when she realizes Johnny kicked Ripp out, will talk some sense into the thick green skull of his.
Of course, to be fair, Johnny's got a lot to think about also so it wasn't really the best time for him to 'catch' his best friend and his girl sleeping together.
I was reading your comments to music_simbol about Ripp wanting love and fearing to achieve it at the same time. It's hard to admit something could be yours if you've always felt it's been held out of reach. Plus, if you actually achieve it, what then? Falling in love can be scary and so many ways, especially for someone like Ripp.

The pictures as so great and as always I love the facial expressions you managed to catch. I don't think I've ever seen Johnny quite so angry (as he's usually fairly easy-going), or quite so dejected looking.

I can not wait for the rest of this. You must finish it.
