lol that goat was cute...makes me almost want one =p
That must have been hard..I dont think I could deal with this at all...hopefully AJ will get off his high horse and realize he needs him!
Author's Response: Lol thanks. I knew it was something Nick would tweet. AJ has a hard time accepting reality sometimes so I knew he'd hdve the hardest time accepting.

Aw what a cute goat. Baby goats are so cute! Oh drat, no one is going to think he is pranking? I guess he's been too serious about it for that. Did you write that song for this?
Author's Response: LOL right? Baby animals are always cute. I didn't have anyone think he was pranking cause honestly that would be cruel and the Boys know he wouldn't try to sink that low. Any lyrics written by me in the story, were written specifically for this. :)

I totally laughed my fucking ass off at reading that Nick's ringtone for Howie was the "Macarena"!! That's fucking great!! Lmao. And I love how the guys are going out to do things that most often reminds anyone of their younger years, though Nick drops some heavy shit on them. And the picture Howie tweeted of the little kid and the caption... fucking GENIUS!! Makes it all seem that much more real!!
I love how you genuinely shed light on Howie, from what he's done for the group years back, to how he's often the forgotten shadow of the group. We always tease poor Howard about it, lol. But I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to tell the member he loves to pester the most! I seriously smiled and got a little emo upon reading the last line. Good, sweet Howie D. :)
Author's Response: LMAO Nick's sense of humor and random thoughts = mine. If I was friends with Howie, that would be his ringtone. I'm just that damn random LOL. Nick's definitely setting this up to reminisce with them before dropping the bomb. (Nick tweeted the pic, btw lol) Also a joke between me and Julie that I loved too much not to use. I love the Nick/Howie bond, Howie's always forgotten. But he's been that rock for Nick that people don't realize. He supported Nick with NON even when the others got mad, and they're cute together at the after parties. Howie is unappreciated so I know I gotta show him some love lol.

Nice day with Howie, despite the end. Now everyboy knows, I hope he feel more safe with them. Nice lyrics by the way!
Author's Response: Yep, now that all the Boys know, Nick should have an easier time of it than before. Thanks! I hate writing lyrics, because I'm always so self critical, so I'm glad you like them!

I liked the song. :)
You brought tears to my eyes by the time Nick told him that way and they just hugged tighter.
I think in real life even though Nick annoys Howie so much, they are the closest . He is right everyone doesnt notice all Howie does but he does.
Author's Response: Thanks! I get so self conscious when I write lyrics for a story, cause that's totally not my comfort zone lol. Awww I didn't think I'd make everyone cry with this chapter, but I'm so touched that I did. :). I don't know if I feel they're the closest, but I do think they're a lot closer than people think. And people probably don't think they're close cause Howie always gets ignored or forgotten, so I felt the need to let him shine this chapter. :) Thankies again!

I really enjoyed this chapter...little sad but Howie is a sweetheart, he's going to be there for Nick.
Btw, What a original idea to show us a picture of his tweet hihi...cool!
Author's Response: Thanks! Howie's definitely a good guy, and thanks about the pic lol. That was inspired by a chat I had with Julie (rokofages75) and we could totally see Nick doing that lol.

Oh man this made me cry. Nick is right Howie is always giving and doing things for other people. And now he is going to be there for Nick. Keep up the great work.
Marguerite
Author's Response: Awww! I'm always touched when something I write can affect people that way. And yep, Howie's under appreciated, but I wanted to show Nick knows that and loves him for it. Thanks!

Awww, Howie... ya know, I love the relationship Nick and Howie have; it's underutilized in fanfic. You did a great job with the scene where he finally tells him! And I love that Nick has Macarena as Howie's ringtone... and the petting zoo thing, hehe. Glad you got the muse going on this one after all! :)
Author's Response: It is underutilized, and I get why. I mean I prefer either the Brian/Nick or the Nick/Kevin. But I'm trying so hard to really showcase Nick with all of them. Thank you! I was having such a block with it lol. It was either gonna be Macarena or Livin La Vida Loca lmao, but I thought Macarena would be funnier. Thanks again for the petting zoo idea, I know it started as a joke, but it worked out so nice and cutely, so thanks! :) You're so DRATW

Aww, what a great setting to tell Howie in and lol at the picture of the goat. I love how you ended the chapter without repeating what was wrong but letting the embrace say it all. And I forgot he had pink hair! lol I'm so happy you updated! Now you have two more weeks before I start buggin you again and your time starts...now! :O)
Author's Response: LOL thank you, Julie and I were joking about it one night and I fell in love with the idea. I'm glad you liked how I ended it. I'm trying not to get repetitive since it would get old with Nick just saying it every time. And somehow, it kind of fit the Howie/Nick dynamic you know? LMAO how could you forget the pink hair! :P You know you helped get me back to being motivated to actually updating? So you rock hehe. Maybe this whole deadline thing will work LOL. Thanks Mare!

Aw...AJ's still in denial. :( And now all of the Boys know. I hope that Howie will be there for Nick too. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Yep :( it's gonna take him a bit to really accept I think. Yep, all the Boys know, and as for Howie, well I think he's taking it better than AJ. :) Thanks MA

Great job on those lyrics, Rose! Those are nice :) and loved he twitpic. LOL. This happier was very sad...I love the way you described how he felt about Howie. I can totally see him feeling that way. It felt so real when he just hugged Howie and told him. Can't wait to see how he will deal with it. And thanks for updating us on AJ...seems to still be in denial. Thanks for a great chap!
Author's Response: Thanks! I hate writing lyrics, cause it's not easy for me lol. But I tried anyway. Glad you loved the twitpic lol. With Howie, it was hard, cause Howie is so reserved compared to the other four lol. So I tried to play off of that. As for AJ...well, I'm gonna get back to that soon. Thanks Sel!

Oh that was so heartbreaking, the way you described how Howie was always there to protect Nick and AJ, and then Nick uttered those words :(
Like the song though, it kind of reminded me of something Eminem would do :)
Great chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, I know. Poor Boys, it's just so much they have to deal with. :( As for the lyrics, thanks, I was trying anyway. I'm not great with them lol.
