What a request from Nick. I know Cary will do her very best to fulfill it. This is so sad. :( One last update...
Author's Response: I know... :( Thanks, though!! I appreciate your reviews all the way through it!

Yes lady this made me cry. It was so beautiful the way she loves him. I know she will go on but a small piece of her will die with him. I like that he might go his sleep. Less pain that way. I know this is fiction but a part of me wants to grab Nick & cure him then put him back so they can have a happy life. But with that said I wouldn't change a thing about this wonderful story. It has given me love, laughter, tears, happiness and endurance. We could all learn from these two. This will go down as one of my all time favorites & one of the top 5 best EVER written stories I have ever read. On to the end.

Author's Response: Aww, thanks, Marguerite! I know what you mean... It's so sad; I wish he didn't have to die, but that's the reality of this story, sadly. Thank god it's just a story! I'm glad you've enjoyed the story anyway, despite the sad ending. Thanks so much for your amazing reviews... I'm flattered!

OMG this chapter was so sad, but fantastic ZDR! Poor Cary, at least she can still have kids someday thanks to Nick. I love the idea of a Cancer Camp, that's a cute idea and it so fits Nick. Crazy to think the story is about to end, but it's been a fabulous ride :).
Author's Response: Thanks, ZDR! Yeah, at least Cary's getting something out of this, though I'm not sure it's worth all the shit she's had to go through LOL. And the camp idea is cliched, but I think it was fitting for Nick in this story. I'm so excited to actually be close to finishing a story! I'm glad you've enjoyed the ride! :)

I think you have finally tied the amount of times I cried during Broken/BMS with this story Julie. I can't seem to get through a chapter now without bawling like a baby. You should buy stock in Klennex...you are making them a FORTUNE!
Author's Response: Aww, I know... it's so sad! :( LOL I really just need to develop my own line of Kleenex. Thanks for the review, Jen!

Wow... All the things that happened while I was gone. First of all, I wanna say to you that you are an AMAZING writer. I mean, your stories, are just, fantastic. They really get to your heart once you read them. I was so happy to find out that Nick was doing well, happy, and finally can move on. But I was so sad when I read that he wasn't going to make it... I mean, reading all this story, being with Nick and Cary, and to know that Nick's end is near... It tears my heart apart. You made me cry, laugh, even say "I wish I was Cary to take care of him", I mean, all the emotions you can know! Lol. I just can't wait to see what's coming next. I loved to see Nick strong to his fans, and to be in pain and still be for the fans. I don't want this to end. You made an amazing job with this story ♥
Author's Response: Hey Victoria!! I was wondering what happened to you! LOL Glad to know you're still alive and well and still reading! I always love your reviews, so thank you! Sorry for the rollercoaster of emotions you must have gone through catching up on this story... up, then down. :( I'm a little sad it's coming to an end, too, but happy at the same time... it always feels good to finish a story! I've enjoyed writing this one, though, sad as it is, and I'm glad you've enjoyed reading it. Thanks so much!!

Yes, I'm dreading these last chapters, I even find myself skipping some parts of a chapter. And I'm familiar with your stories so I now what to expect but urgh I can't explain it...I think we all know why it's so hard to read about this subject.
Author's Response: Aww, I totally understand. I have a friend in real life who is going through something similar to Nick in the story, and that makes it harder to write about than I expected it to be when I first planned out this story, before my friend got sick. But I'm dedicated to finishing it the way I meant to finish it and doing the ending justice, making it realistic, even if it is heartbreaking. Thanks for sticking it out, and thanks for the review!

I am glad that Nick was able to finish the tour. I love how Nick loves the fans. This is a very emotional chapter and I accept my defeat; there'd be no miracle for Nicky. :(
Author's Response: Who knows how he would react in this situation for real (hopefully we'll never find out), but I'd like to think he would be that dedicated. He seems to love performing, anyway. It was important for him to finish the tour. But yeah... I make no promises about miracle endings. :( Thanks for the review, Ritz!!

I've been catching up tonight, and I'm sorry I fell behind ZDR! That's so not ZDRATW, I suck :(. But, I'm caught up now, and I don't really have the words for the emotions you've managed to capture here. But, capture them you did, and it's beautiful, tragic, and heartwretching. It's just amazing, having Nick's POV on the final show, unable to walk...
You've outdone yourself.
Author's Response: No worries, ZDR; I know everyone's been busy lately! Thanks for catching up, and thanks for the nice review! ZDRATW!

Wow...what a chapter. Moments and emotions captured perfectly. Poor Nicky having to go to the hospital. :( Brilliant work, Julie.
Author's Response: Thanks, MA! So sad, but thank you for the compliment!

Oh my heck... :( I bawled the whole chapter... and I have a feeling it's only gonna get worse!! But you're still doing an awesome job!
Author's Response: Aww... yeah, it probably is. :( But thank you!!

I have read this wonderful story from the beginning and I can honestly say this chapter made me cry so hard. The beauty you expressed when he was performing what he knew would be his last made me cry even harder. If I didn't know better I would swear I was there watching it. You write with such clarity that I could actually see it happen literally. I could feel the pain too like i was there. You have the most astounding talent. A real god given gift that i think you should share. This has to be the only story where I knew the good guy would die at the end that I had to read no matter what. And yes I have re read it many times and cried. But it was so worth it. Please never doubt that you have been blessed. And thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story with us. Keep up the excellent work because I will be here until the very last word ans tear shed.
Marguerite
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much, Marguerite! Your reviews always lift me up so much... doesn't even seem fair, after me depressing you and making you cry LOL. But I'm glad you're enjoying the story despite how sad it is lately, and I appreciate your kind words... thank you!!!

It is so good to hear Nick's side of things since he hides everything, but he is so strong in this story....I love that no matter what he tries to make each day count. I know I am gonna be wrong but I hope the hospital can help him. Great update Julie!
Author's Response: Strong... stupid... something like that LOL. :) Poor Nick; thank god it's just fiction. Thanks so much, Tracy!
Date: 10/02/11 08:54 pm Title: Chapter 86
It's so sad to think of the guys' last concert, especially under these circumstances. Once again I cried reading this...four more to go...I don't know how I'm ever going to make it through!
Author's Response: I know. :( It's so depressing to think about! Thanks for reading, though, and thanks for the review!
Date: 10/02/11 08:31 pm Title: Chapter 86
First off - why did they miss Canada!?!?!?! We loved them first in North America! (I know this is fan fic, but still. Lol.)
Secondly, damn it all to hell. I was momentarily excited seeing an update, 'cause finally somebody updated something I'm reading. But then, I felt the same dread as before & thought, "Damn. We're almost to the end. I'm going to be crying soon. Dammit."
I teared up for this one. I'm SO not ready to let Nick go - even if this is only fan fic. It's just - it's Nick. Carter. He's supposed to live on FOREVER. They ALL are! WE all are! Sometimes reality bites.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Lenni~
Author's Response: Awww, I know... if it wasn't for the fact that they're from the US and Orlando seemed perfect, I would have had them go to Canada instead. Canada loved them first and probably still loves them better than the US as a whole. Sad. But anyway LOL... I know... this is such a depressing story to write right now. :( Thanks for reading it, though, and thanks for your review!!
Date: 10/02/11 08:25 pm Title: Chapter 86
OMG Julie, this chapter got to me more than anything. The way when each of the guys were singing their parts, Nick was thinking about what they meant to him. And even though he'd lost the use of his legs, he still carried on and gave it his all.
I've got tears rolling down my face, and I'm glad the kids are in bed and can't see what a blubbering mess I am. I can imagine how hard this must be for you to write; as amazing as this story is, it's the saddest thing I've ever read so far. I know I'm going to cry in every chapter from now on, but that's OK, it just shows how great of a writer you are.
Author's Response: Aww, sorry for doing that to you... I'm sure it's worse reading it than actually writing it; I manage to keep myself detached enough, knowing I'm just making it all up, but it's still really depressing to think about. :( I like my drama, but this is almost too much. I'm ready for it to be over! Thank you so much, though; I appreciate you sticking it out!
