The thing with Justin and Aden is that what they are doing is so worng/horrible/stupid but I just can't seem to look away. It's like a car wreck, it's so messed up but I just find it so compelling to watch. I have seen comments where people are saying that bringing Justin in has wrecked Aden because he has turned into this person that is unrecognisable. He appeared to be dealing with what happened with his Dad and also Belle, and finally starting to move forward, and now he's gone completely backwards. What I think, is that he hasn't dealt with it. He never did. The last time he saw his father he couldn't say that he loved him, and I don't think he ever forgave him for what he allowed to happened, and he's only been treading water with Nicole. Not making plans, not working out a future. Nothing.
Justin is the only family he really has at the moment. A whether Aden wanted to be involved or not, he is. As soon as Justin came into town and I identified himself as his brother, Aden became involved. I think the whole point of this storyline is really the lengths we would go to for family. Would we kill? Cover up for our own brother? We don't really know what we are capable of until we are put in that position. Aden, we have seen in the past, does become violent. He does consider extreme measures in order to deal with things, like kidnappings and hostages. Yes, he was supposed to get councelling for that, and maybe he dealt with some of it, but that tendency will always be a part of him. It's not something you can get rid of that easily.
Aden isn't a criminal, and neither is Justin. And I think that is what I enjoy and I find the most interesting about this whole thing. It's that, neither of them are bad people, but they are in this inescapable position, where they have dug such a deep hole of lies and cover ups that there doesn't seem to be a way out. Justin wants to confess to protect Aden and give him a future, whereas Aden considers his life a write-off anyway, whereas Justin should be able to get on with his life. They just, uh! Are the best brothers, okay? I could watch them forever. I've never really watched Supernatural, but I'm getting a bit of a Sam and Dean Winchester vibe from them. Driving around in a truck in the middle of the night. Someone could write a fanfic about that. Anyone?
Anyways, I really don't want this to end, because at this stage it doesn't look good for either of them. Can Aden be redeemed at this late stage? I don't know, I really don't. But I don't want Aden and Justin to be separated again.
