I liked this:
He gripped the shirts tightly for a moment then folded them the best he could. He’d never even taken them from their hanger and their removal from his room was unsettling him in a way he couldn’t explain.
I could really feel that!
Jack thinks that Ennis thinks he is weak and I as the reader regard him as weak in this story up till now and in this chapter because of the drinking (again with Bobby next to him! 
). It's sad, I was hoping that he would have gathered some more strength by now to really do what he needs to do, try to imagine a life for him and Bobby and Ennis. 
I'm glad you liked that part
Jack has been weak up to this point, and honestly I'm having a hard time pulling him out of that... it's one of the reasons this last chapter took me longer to post. The problem is, when I started this story, I went into it with the idea that Jack had been very strong up to this point but that when Ennis turned him away it finally broke something in him. I don't view him as weak after that in the film, just more hardned and embittered but when I started my story I made the decision to give him a drinking problem which is causing me (and him...) problems for a few reasons.
I think in the film he had a drinking problem but it was probably a little better hidden then in my story, Ennis finding him the way he did in my story kind of brought the problem to the surface for both of them. And though having Ennis with him makes things much easier for him and makes him happier than he was, he's still having a lot of trust issues with Ennis after 14 years of being shot down by him. Also, I don't think Ennis is just some magic solution to all of his problems that Jack can stop drinking the second he walks back into his life no matter how much happier Ennis makes him because I think Jack's problems run deeper than that. Also, the real time of my story has only been about a week or so it's going to take Jack and Ennis longer than that to come to terms with things. As for drinking in front of Bobby.... there's no excuse. It's not a good thing to be doing and Jack knows it and is trying to justify it to himself right now by having done it while Bobby was asleep. That's why he reacted the way he did when Ennis told him he shouldn't be doing that.
Sorry about all of the rambling, I'm trying to work some things out in this story right now that I've been having trouble with and Jack's weakness has been one of my major problems
I want him to be stronger too and I'm trying to work out a way for that to happen. See, this isn't how I usually write, usually I see something through to the end then go back and revise the shit out of it once I've figured out what's going on. But that isn't the nature of fan fiction so this has been a very very different writing experience for me.
I'll go ahead and make another thread for Just by Looking at You
