Aww man, breaks my heart reading this fight between Nick and Brian!! :( And I feel bad that everyone is coming down on Nick! Poor guy. I know if I were him, I would've exploded what was wrong with me at them, having everyone come down on me like that. I wish he'd tell them, and soon!
Author's Response: I know, I felt bad, but I knew if Nick decided to hide it, he was gonna cause suspicions if nothing else. And their thoughts would immediately go to his past issues. :( Nick doesn't have it easy.

Gotta love the emails sent between Kevin and Nick, lol. While one is serious, Nick has to be the funny ass, lmao. Loved the nicknames and Nick's response! :)
Author's Response: Of course, Nick's not Nick without being a funny ass lmao. :)

The continuation of Kevin and Nick's interaction is still tugging on my heartstrings; beautifully written!! And I simply LOVED how Nick decided to wake up Howard! Sooo fucking classic, lmao!! You gotta love when Nick picks on Howie! As for him running into Brian... if that were me, I'd be fucking piss that my breakfast is now all over me, but this is Brian... and I love how laid back and carefree he is! My two favorite lines of this chapter? "You look yummy by the way", "I'm magically delicious!" LMAO!! Loved this chapter. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! LMAO I love picking on Howie, their bond is a little different and it's fun to explore that. I felt the need for comic relief after the emotional weight from Kevin lol. The best thing about Brian and Nick...there's no being too random LOL.

I seriously laughed my fucking ass off at reading the tidbit of Nick's comic book, "The Tales of Catepillar Man", lmfao!! And then I had a serious "aww" moment when he and Kevin hugged and Nick felt safe in that moment. I'd imagine those kind of Kevin hugs to make ANYONE feel safe! And that makes me miss him being in the group even more now! :(
I really love the interaction going on between Nick and Kevin, and though I giggled at the fact that Nick feels the two Kentucky cousins gang up on him, it was endearing! Of course Kevin's way will ALWAYS work, lmao. But shit, the ending of this chapter was hella emotional!! I'm glad Nick FINALLY told someone what is going on with him, but I felt bad that he was rambling on and apologizing. Poor kid. I love Nick and Kevin moments.
Author's Response: I'm now taking on the task of responding to every single one of these LOL. (Not that I'm complaining, I love it!) LMAO you know teenage Nick would totally do it! And I know, I want a Kevin hug :(. I'm so glad you enjoyed their bond, I was really nervous about this chapter because Kevin's the first one who finally gets to know what's going on with Nick.

Aw, I'm teary eyed :( Loved the ending. And how sad that he doesn't remember the boys at all or the Grammys. Great job with the story, Rose. I loved it even without the happy ending.
Author's Response: *hands you some tissues* I know. :( It was sad to write, but at the same time I couldn't do it any differently. Glad you enjoyed it Sel, I loved all the feedback you've given me on it. So thank you! :)

Awww...the part where he doesn't recognize Baylee is really sad. I'm sure the kids just don't understand :( And I love the honesty of Brian's feelings with blaming Nick. I can imagine it's something he would feel but never admit. Great job :)
Author's Response: Right, even though Baylee's a teenager, it's hard enough for an ADULT...let alone a kid. Thank you, I really wanted to touch upon Brian's frustration and anger. He wouldn't say it outloud but I knew he'd think it. Thanks again Sel!

Yay for Nick getting nominated!! The end was really sad with Baylee :(
Author's Response: I've missed you! LOL. Glad to see you liked it. :)

Not every story has a happy ending. I love this line. It would have been so easy for you to have Nick "recover." After all, this is fiction. I'm so glad you didn't.
The realism and emotions in this story always kept my attention. At times, it was a difficult read and brought tears to my eyes and at times some joy and laughter.
Thank you for such a wonderful story.

Author's Response: Awww thank you! And you're right, it would've been, which was exactly why I didn't want that to happen. It wasn't the easiest story to write sometimes but I wanted to go there without cheapening the story by having him recover. Thank you so much! :)

This was a great story! You did a wonderful job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

At least they will always have the good memories!
Author's Response: Exactly, which was really what Nick wanted most. :)

400th review!!! You know how anal and OCD I am; I couldn't stand to see that number at 399. I just had to bump it up to a nice, round number. Did I mention this story rocks? Angst ftw! SPP!
Author's Response: THANK YOU! lmao that was bugging me soooo bad. Just because I'm weird. Did I tell you how much I <3 you? Cause I do! Everyone has angst! Angst! Angst! Angst! SPP! :)

aww what a perfectly beautiful way to end this Rose. You have done such a great job with this story and taking us all on an emotional roller coaster. Congrats!!! I'll miss this story and your updates!
Author's Response: Thank you! I love hearing that from you. :). I've had this ending in my head basically from the moment I wrote the introduction at the beginning lol. I'm gonna miss this story too, especially since I finally had one that had you reading regularly Miss Picky! LOL.

aww, I loved all the memories they shared at the end. Very touching. *taking a deep breath* okay off to read the last one now. Walking slowly to make the moment last, or possibly because I am forgetting what i'm doing. one or the other.
Author's Response: Thank you, I wanted to go back to the theme and purpose of this story before it ended. It seemed like the best way to go. LMAO just don't wander off naked! :)

aawh it's the end? well although it was sad, I enjoyed very much. Great story!
Are you going to start a new story btw?
Author's Response: Yeah :(. I knew it was coming soon. Thank you so much! Um...not sure if I'll start a new one, or just continue another fic I started last year called "Walked Out Of My Dreams". :) We'll see, I have a ton of ideas lol.
