As I already said before, I really like this oneshot. I really think that you've captured perfectly Aj's feelings about Kevin's leaving, especially considered hoe much he looked up to Kevin and such.
=) One thing I really like, and even envy, about your writing is how you can capture one moment with few words. It's not easy to do so (and this is coming from someone who uses a lot of words. lol)
And, of course, I can't not love the last part: poor Nick (but also not XD) who got hit by his Frick! lol I'm pretty sure that Brian apologized later in private. Oops! XD
So glad you're back at writing! Sometimes it just takes a short story to get back to being inspired and motivated!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review even though We had spoken in email. Without you encouraging me this morning I'd probably never had finished this story. I am really glad you felt it was realistic. I thought AJ would react to Kevin leaving as if it was his own father. Thanks again for everything.

"I told you not to call me that, Howie. I am not a baby." Aww, Nick. I can imagine him reverting back to a teenager when Kevin made that announcement.
A part of me likes to believe that Kevin never left the group in the first place and then I become outraged at the thought of Kev wanting to take a break from the group. *wraps entire body around Kevin's ankle* 'Nope, you are staying with the group forever, old man.'
Author's Response: Yep, I felt the sane way :) thank you for the review, always good to see a new reader. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

That was very sweet. This may sound weird, but my favorite part in this story was this line... "He nodded, playing with the leaf on one of the plants on the patio deck. He always had a habit of not being in one place for too long, which explains his failure to keep a steady girlfriend."
I loved the subtlety in that line.How it was such a small gesture but explained his personality so well. Nicely done, Tracy. You did a great job with Howie. You shouldn't be afraid of him. He doesn't bite!
Author's Response: I really thought I responded to this review. Thank you so much for the kind words they mean a lot to me. Howie is one of those people I struggled with writing and I am glad he came out all right.
I am glad you enjoyed that line as well because it does describe him accurate.

I really liked this one, Tracy. I think out of them all it's my favorite so far. It was very realistic and a nice scene. I also think you keep getting stronger at the first person. Nicely done!
Author's Response: That means SO much coming from you, Mare. I worked really hard on this one so I am glad it felt realistic. The words of encouragement mean a lot to me. Thank you!

I am really enjoying the series so far :) Can't wait to read more of it! :)
Author's Response: Sorry for the late reply, I did post a Kevin one a couple days ago. I plan to add more. Thanks for your review!

This was sweet. You did a good job writing as Brian. I am enjoying reading these little scenes into their loves back when they were younger.You should consider making it into a series like a photo album type of thing. Nicely done!
Author's Response: Yeah I am making a series of it, and I will be writing more of these. Its called Reflections. Hopefully there will be more by the time the summer reading challenge starts :) Glad you enjoyed Mare. I was nervous writing Brian because I don't have a lot of practice with him. It turned out better than I thought.

That was a very thoughtful read. It was refreshing to read about how things might have been Nick's very first time out on the road. I bet for a kid his age it was a terrifying thing. Nicely done, Tracy!
Author's Response: Thanks Mare. I thought the early days would be a good topic to play with. Glad you enjoyed it, I too feel it was probably a bit scary being on his own that young.

I enjoyed that Tracy, and laughed at the 'pull my finger' part as I too have a relative who likes to do that at gatherings lol.
Author's Response: I took that from my own uncle who passed a few years ago that did the pull my finger bit. I smile cause it made me think of him. I feel like AJ would do that too lol thanks for reading Steph :)

This was really good!! You should of made into a story haha Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading. I want to write more about the early BSB days sometime. glad you enjoyed it :)
