great work so far with this story julie....i`ll tolerate carey (like i tried to tolerate claire in bms & broken) ;) love the snow so you could update!! can`t wait to read more.
Author's Response: Hey Carrie! I didn't know you were still reading this... glad to know you are! Your feedback always means a lot to me; your stories have inspired me so much. Hopefully Cary won't be as annoying as Claire got to be in BMS... I promise she won't make stupid decisions for the sake of drama in this one. ;) I'm loving the snow for that reason too! Thanks again for the review! Hope you're doing well!

Ooh, a kiss! That's so great of Cary to remember Nick with a candle on the track. Great update.
Author's Response: Thanks MA! Glad you liked it! :)

I'm on board... Yay.... I think the last chapter of this story should be nick sporting that purple shirt on Ellen. I work for a nonprofit and we do walks every spring. I felt all the emotion I feel at a walk while reading these last two chapters. Can't wait for more... Thank you. Mother nature for the blizzard... It gave u time to write and me two days off to sit and read ... Which means I reread broken and reread this story too.... Sometimes reading it a second time I see things I missed... Thanks and cant wait for more.
Author's Response: Aww, thanks!! Hey, that's a good idea about the purple shirt and Ellen! He is definitely gonna go on Ellen at some point, since he promised her he would. I do Relay for Life every year, so it was nice to be able to write about it, and it was easy to make it realistic, having been there. I'm glad you liked it! And aww LOL, thanks for rereading Broken and this one over your snow days! Good days to do that! :)

Did you just use lyrics from Nick's new album??? If so, excellent move LOL.
And Finally there's a tiny bit of romance.
Keep up the great writing and updating.....
Author's Response: I did indeed! ;) I'm freaking addicted to that song; it was just a matter of time LOL. I am a hopeless romantic at heart, so I kinda figured it would take this path, though I wasn't absolutely sure... I wouldn't have gone there if I didn't think it fit the characters, that they had enough chemistry for it. I like to take it slow and develop that friendship/bond first so that any romantic relationship that comes out of it is based on something real and not just sex appeal. Thanks so much; glad you're enjoying it! :)

YES!!! He kissed her....so happy! Loved the chapter and Nick thinking of everything the way he was. It was sweet of her to dedicate one to him....I'm so glad Nick is realizing he likes her! Awesome chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks Tracy!! LOL I'm glad he's realizing it too; Cary's always had a crush on him, but he was the one I wasn't sure of, and I knew he was gonna have to make the first move, cause even though she'd like to, she never would. So I'm glad he came through! ;) Glad you liked it, too! Thanks again!!

The train will definitely not without me leaving! I need to be there! *lol* And omg, Nick kissed her. Finally! It is about time! But how will Cary react to the kiss? Will she kiss him back? I love the Nick/Cary train! *happy is* Great chapter! ~Franzi~
Author's Response: Aww, yay! Thanks so much, Franzi!! The next chapter will pick up from Cary's POV, so you will definitely get her reaction then. She'd be a fool not to kiss him back! ;) Thanks again!!

Aaaw, OMG, he kissed her! ♥ I can't wait to see what's coming! To see what would be Cary's reaction! This is perfect ♥
Author's Response: Thanks Victoria! The next chapter will be from Cary's POV, so you will definitely get her reaction then! :)

I wished I could put my spacesuit on, so I could jump into my rocket
LMFAO I love you SO much for finding a way to sneak that in! Totally DRATW.
Moving on past my love for ITO lol...That was such a sweet and simple chapter. I loved the tone you set at the very beginning, cause it carried it's way throughout, and really set the mood. And him kissing her? Well, it took him long enough lmao.
I also loved the luminary bit too, that was sweet, and definitely telling of the kind of compassionate person she is. :)
Writing Streaks FTW! Hehe.
Author's Response: LMAO I knew it was gonna happen one of these days; I just had to wait for the right moment. DRATW! I'm glad you liked the chapter; I tried to keep it simple and sweet. :) I'm glad the characters cooperated as far as the kiss... I wasn't going to plan it out, but then I thought, "Well, if I don't plan it, it might never happen, so I better give it a shot." I knew it had to wait till after the tour cause it had to be Nick making the first move, and I didn't think he would while she was still playing nurse to him; it would have been too weird. They needed some distance first. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it, and thanks, DR! Snow days FTW!!!

AS IF YOU ENDED IT THERE!!!!! I am grinning in my cubicle like an idiot and if I was at home you can bet I'd be jumping around the room!! YAY! As soon as they got on the matress I was like "kiss her, kiss her, kiss her!" And he did! It was perfect! Best kiss scene I have ever read! Ok, admittedly I am a little biased because Cary is one of my favourite female characters ever, but still. LOVE IT!! ok, other things I liked in this chapter lol.. The memorial Cary put there for Nick, very sweet.. And a little morbid. I liked how Nick thought that because that's often how I feel about those kinds of things too. Also Nick talking about taking off at the beginning..hehe :) loved this chpater! Love love love!! Ok, that's enough. GREAT chapter Julie! Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: LMAO! Love it, Steph!! I so appreciate you guys dropping hints about how you wouldn't mind a little Nick/Cary loving, cause even though, knowing myself, I've always figured it would go that route at some point, I wasn't sure, and I am surrounded by anti-romance friends on AC, so I forget how many people actually like this stuff and would cheer, rather than cringe, at a kiss. This is the chapter I finished last night and couldn't post cause my internet was down; so frustrating, cause I couldn't wait for the reaction! LOL I don't know that it's anywhere close to the best kiss scene anyone's ever read, but thank you LOL. It was more descriptive originally, but then I remembered that this is a Nick part, and he's a guy, and guys just aren't like that, so I decided to keep it simple and save the description for the next chapter, which will be Cary. ;) Thanks so much, Steph; I'm glad you loved it!! :)

Aaaaaaarghww he kissed her! Yes! *this is not a dream right?* haha..oowh can't wait to hear her reaction!! ;)
Author's Response: Hahahaha, would I be that mean? (Probably LOL). You'll find out in the next chapter! ;) Thanks for the review!

Awww. So glad Nick came & all has gone well so far. I'd totally be there just to hear him sing- lol.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: Thanks Lenni!! LOL I'd totally go too!

It was so sweet of Nick to go there and be with Cary. And I'm so happy they are friends and share things! Jomel Sumira did an amazing job! I loved it. Can't wait to the next chapter, I love this story !
Author's Response: Thanks Victoria! Glad you enjoyed it! :) Yeah, I loved her cover of that song... a little fast, but her voice is beautiful. Thanks again for the review!

Once again great update!
Author's Response: Thank you!

That is so great of him to come all the way there! I really hope they discuss his therapie option though! Great chapter! ~Franzi~
Author's Response: Thanks Franzi! They definitely will, at some point. I think he just wanted to delay it and forget about it for awhile... ya know, his usual denial LOL. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!
Date: 02/01/11 08:18 pm Title: Chapter 54
Awwww this was a great chapter. I can see how this could get to Nick a bit, but at the same time, it's a great bonding moment for the two of them.
Yay for snow days! lol
Author's Response: Thanks DR! LOL Yay for snow days, indeed!
