Aw man it was painful to red what the press did to him. Made me want to slap them and defend him. And Brian is going through hell trying to take care of him. I can't wait to read more. Keep up the excellent work.

Author's Response: I know :( but sadly it's probably pretty accurate if it really happened. And Brian doesn't have it easy, but he loves Nick enough to do what he has to. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. I was hoping you would address that Nick is regressing pretty quickly. Poor Baylee, and Brian isn't really sure how to comfort him. This is so sad and confusing for everyone.
Author's Response: Oh definitely, Brian knows it, but at the same time, it's not easy to let him go. And since Brian has legal responsibility, no one can force him to do it till Brian's ready. I wanted to be sure to address Baylee too since here he's close to Nick, and now he's living with them like this. Thanks MA :)

I'm happy for Nick, but I have a feeling the Grammy's aren't going to happen while he is still somewhat coherrent. I hope they do for his sake, so he will at least remember it for a little while!
Author's Response: Probably not, but at least knowing he's nominated is enough, don't you think? :)

So sad to see that he's really beginning to lose his mind and things are slowly coming to an end. Poor Brian having to make that kind of choice. Nicely done Rose!
Author's Response: Thanks Mare! Did you take Nick's meds today? LOL :)

Brian thinking about putting Nick in a home is so sad but I remember when my grandmother (who had alzheimer's and dementia) got to be too much. We couldn't take care of her anymore and we had to put her in a home....it was really hard on all of us, I know how Brian feels cause that's how my mom felt. Good update as usual.
Author's Response: :( I'm sorry about that. Yeah, Brian knows it has to happen, but he's determined to wait till Nick has more bad days than good. So that at least then he won't realize he's in one a lot of the time. And he just isn't ready to let Nick go. Thanks Tracy :)

I come back from my vacation and there are two updates, yay.
Good job, so sad what is happening with Nick but your writing skills are awesome so..keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Yay! I was wondering if you were still reading. :). Thanks!

SPP!!! I'll say it again - I love this chapter! Loved the argument between the guys; poor Brian feels guilty, and no one should be blaming him for Nick wandering off, but I understand their frustration. Sad as it is, I can even understand where AJ's coming from. I loved the way you wrote Nick's mindset, his panic and confusion when he realized he had no idea where he was or how he got there and his embarrassment when the guys picked him up. Poor NMN. :( I can't imagine how hard that would be, to be losing your mind and losing your independence at such a young age. You're doing an excellent job of imagining how it would be and putting it into words. I love this story so much!
Author's Response: Awwww I <3 you. And you're exactly right. Brian is gonna be taking the blame on to himself even though he shouldn't be. And the Boys don't even want to blame them, but in a panic, logic goes bye bye. Which, speaking of panic, thank you! Very happy that came across okay. *hugs NMN* That can't be easy, especially for someone like Nick who loves life so much. Love you ZDR!. You down with SPP?

Poor Nick :( This disease is awful, my grandpa passed away from it in February of this year and when he went he didn't know anybody. The only things he knew were the Notre Dame fight song (he went to college there) and his prayers (he was very catholic). I wouldn't wish this on anybody!
Author's Response: It really is. I wouldn't wish this on anyone either. You just don't see many stories (or especially fanfics) about what someone and those around him go through with something like this. So my twisted mind decided to go there. Thanks for checking the story out :)

Once again, tears! You really know how to put all the emotion in there!
Author's Response: I love hearing I made people cry. As mean as that sounds it tells me I did my job. So thank you! :)

Wow, I've read this whole story so far today and I have to say I cried through this whole chapter! Amazing!
Date: 07/20/11 11:56 pm Title: Chapter Thirty One
Wow, I've read this whole story so far today and I have to say I cried through this whole chapter! Amazing!
Author's Response: Wow, in one sitting? I'm flattered! Thank you!
Date: 07/20/11 05:56 pm Title: Chapter Thirty Eight
OMG this is the saddest story i have ever read..it feels so real..thumbs up
Author's Response: Awwww I'm flattered you read through this in one sitting! And I'll take that as a total compliment. I'm going for the tears haha. (That sounds horrible, but I don't mean that in a bad way LOL). Thanks!

aww this was a great chapter Rose. I love the arguing at the beginning. It was so real when it comes from a panic like that. Then poor Nick getting mobbed by paparazzi. I'm sad for them all with not happy ending in sight. Miss gloomy doomy. :O( lol
Author's Response: Thanks, I always wonder if I go over the top with emotion. I get all second guessy that way. Nick doesn't have it easy. And yes, this is definitely doomy gloomy lmao. But I'm mean that way. It's fun to torture!

I was so confused because I thought I had read this chapter but I didn't see my review so I started reading this chapter got all the way to the end and realized that I did read the chapter! Nearly mindless Mare. I swear to GOD I reviewed this chapter! LOL Maybe I couldn't get the review function to work and did it in your thread? I have no clue but now i'm actually going to go review the chapter I didn't read yet, or did I? *wanders off naked*
Author's Response: LMAO I love you Mare. You did review, but in my thread on AC cause you were having issues. LMAO I'll call you NMM! Sounds like someone's saying the food is yummy :P. Thanks for reviewing the chapter again! LOL
Date: 07/20/11 11:08 am Title: Chapter Thirty Eight
Yay for the quick update! It's a shame that AJ and Brian ended up arguing, but it was bound to happen and I'm sure there will be more along the way as Nick gets worse. I could just imagine a confused Nick in the shopping mall :( So sad that he's deteriorating so quickly. An old woman was pacing up and down in front of my sister's house in her nightwear not so long ago and my sister went out to see what was wrong, she couldn't get any sense out of the woman and so called the police. It turned out she'd walked about a mile from where she was living and didn't know how to get out of my sister's street. So sad to end up like that :(
Author's Response: Don't get used to it! :P LOL. Nah, hopefully another one will come soon. It sucks that it's tearing them apart like this, but it's to be expected. This isn't easy for anyone. Awwww that poor woman! Slowly but sure that's Nick, and it's tragic. :(. Thanks Steph!
