So well written, Rose. I loved the moment in the hotel room btw the two guys. You do such a great job writing his lapses as well. It blends so well with the rest of the story and it's not confusing at all (which I think it can be if poorly written). The moment btw Nick and Aaron makes me mad. It's sad that Nick has to see his brother like this while dealing with his own shit. I hope that he doesn't have any slip ups for the remaining solo promo.
Author's Response: I love your reviews, I really do. Thank you so much! I love writing the moments between the Boys, it's my favorite thing about this story, actually. And thank you again! I try so hard to make it smooth but noticeable, you know? There's a ton of research that's gone into in hopes of being able to do that. So I love hearing that. I don't blame anyone for being mad at Aaron, the little shit deserves it in this story lol. You rock Sel! Thanks! :)

I hate Nick's family lol Great chapter Rose, I especially loved the way you had Nick come bouncing into the room and the memories of him doing that with Kevin and Brian a long time ago. Bonus points for including that space suit song. lol
Author's Response: LOL they're not hard to hate. Thanks Mare! I love when Nick acts a little hyper, it's just too cute :). And lmao, yay for bonus points! Couldn't get the damn song out of my head, so in it went lmao.

Poor Nick, he just wanted her brother to be okay :( I hope things get better between them, so Nick can tell Aaron what is happening to him. Great update!
Author's Response: His brother :) lol. (Sorry I found the typo funny hehe.) But yes, that's all he wants, but sadly it's asking for a lot. :(. Thanks!

Aww poor Nick getting the manager wrong. And Aaron was a complete arse, I felt like telling him to shut the fuck up!!
Great chapter Rose :)
Author's Response: Didn't we all? LOL. I agree with Nick, he needed a good hit to the head. :). Thanks Steph!

Man, things just go from bad to worse for Nick. :( I liked the ending of this chapter, very powerful. Thanks for the update, Rose.
Author's Response: I guess it depends on how you see it. Aaron's issues have been there for a long time. It's just that nothing's changing despite how badly Nick wants/needs it too. But I agree, the timing is horrible for him. :( Thanks MA! :)

Aaron is an asshole. He needs to grow up, like Nick says. I hope they can work something out and he tells him what's going on, because by the sounds of it, Nick is already starting to get worse even if he doesn't know it yet. Great chapter as always, loved how you used his song in there. That song is epic, reminds me of one of your other stories lol
Author's Response: LOL pretty much. And that's the thing, Nick's worried cause he only has so long to help him. Nick knows it, and that's why he's trying so hard. Thank you! LMAO ITO would NOT leave my head man. So I actually wrote it into the damn chapter cause I couldn't write but I couldn't turn the song off lol. (Still can't :P)...and it does? LOL which one? Anywho, thanks Tracy!

Just wanted to say again that I loved this chapter! The Frick/Frack part at the beginning was adorable (but bittersweet), and I loved Nick and Aaron going to blows at the end. The drama just makes everything more interesting. Keep the awesome updates coming, DR!
Author's Response: Thank you DR! I love F/F, I mean really, how can anyone not? Hehe. Nick/Aaron...man it's so interesting to play with, cause I feel like Aaron (at least here) is what Nick could've been. It's the "what if". So of course it's gonna be drama, which is just fun LOL. Thankies!

aawh you really thought about the songs and the lyrics....great idea of showing us those front and back album pictures.
Love it, thanks!
Author's Response: Definitely. I made those covers back in...*checks the date* the beginning of August. So I've had his album thought out for awhile. Thanks! :)

Lol at the Justin Timberlake references. Great chap :) I'm glad that Brian's with Nick to help him out. So sad how he keeps thinking and saying that it's the last one but I'm glad he was able to finish it and get it out to everyone! Great job on the album artwork! Love it :)
Author's Response: LOL thanks, I always like getting digs in if I can. As for Nick...he knows this is it, or at least the last one he'll know of. :(. Thanks! :)

Ok every time I read this I cry because I know the end is coming. I knew that from the start this would have a sad ending but this story is very powerful. Keep up the great work.

Author's Response: *sends you some tissues* Thanks!

Aww poor Nick, that started off so well, with the crowd loving him and him adoring the attention and then he kind of lost it a bit towards the end of the interview. It's so sad that he'll never perform it live :(
Great chapter and I love your CD cover!
Author's Response: I know :(. It is sad, but at the same time it's such a personal song, I think he'd choose not to even if he had more time. Thanks Steph!

I think Nick is really really strong to go on with his music carrer and not letting know about what he is going through to the fans. Everyday that pass Nick is getting worse :( Keep up the amazing job! Loved this chapter!
Author's Response: I think Nick in this situation, it's just showing the kind of man he really is. The fact he wants to leave as much as he can behind, for people to hold on to when he's no longer himself. So even though he can't tour, he's leaving behind an album, a video, and will do that final performance at the VMAs, etc. He's getting worse, but he's trying to fight it long enough to do what he feels he "has" to do. Thank you so much!

I wasn't sure whether to read this chapter before I went to bed because now that we're getting close to him hitting rock bottom I didn't want to dream about a Nick with Alzhiemers. lol i'm glad this chapter was lighter than expected. Also glad that he has Brian with him. Had to chuckle about all the Nsync/.justin talk since i've seen that come up a lot lately. They are always going to be compared. Poor Nick! Great chapter Rose! Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: LMAO awww, I can see how that would be a concern. As dark as this story gets, I like to try and weave in light moments when I can. I'm so over all the NSYNC/Justin talk...do I hide it well? LMAO. But at least in my world Justin goes Poof! Thanks Mare! :)

A great chapter. I hate reading Nick slowly deteriorate like this. :(
Author's Response: Thanks! Awww :( I know, it's only going to get harder as time goes on for him though.

Poor Nick, always compared to Justin no matter what. I did like how you threw in that Justin has been MIA for a long time. One can only hope, LOL! Nick's interview and his "goodbye" was so sad. And I really liked the lyrics to Forget Me Not. I also really liked how you showed the front and back of his album - that was a nice touch. And nice to know he put Scream on a CD finally ;) Great chapter, Rose!
Author's Response: I know, it's annoying, he's being compared to him now (or was when they thought some song was Justin's) so I figure they will then. In my stories, things become how they should be lmao (except for Nick having Alzheimer's haha). Glad you liked the lyrics! I hate writing them, cause they always feel awkward lol. I love Scream, it SHOULD be on his current album...but since it's not, it's gonna be on this one lol. Thanks!
