Whoa! Seems like I am further behind on this story than I thought I was. I'm going to try to play catch up the next few days. I love Howie so much in this chapter. I really think you captured him beautifully! I also lol'd at Nick and his whole awesome pizza scene. Most importantly, thanks for having Howie smoke weed lol I'm sure they have all done it & wouldn't be so quick to knock it out of Nicks hands.
Author's Response: Aw thanks Mare! I don't think Howie (or any of the guys really) are super clean cut, so I'm glad you appreciated that he ended up smoking weed with Nick. I agree with you, I'm sure they've all done it at some point! That whole pizza scene was really fun to write :)

Yay! I'm so glad that you're writing this again...I love this story. I did have to remind myself what was going on and backtrack a little bit. Great chap. I love that Howie went back to check on Nick. And the ending is classic! And total LOL at Kevin being a coffee snob. I can see that. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Sel! I'm glad you decided to pick it up again. The Howie/Nick stuff is so fun to write. They are one of my favourite bromances for sure! I'm sure Kevin is a total coffee snob haha. Thanks for the review!

So good to see a new chapter Steph, I thought you had abandoned it, but thankful that you haven't!
Loved how Howie is the one who's all calm and the voice of reason where Nick is concerned. I think it's right that he be the one to go and see how he's getting on because he needs someone just as much as AJ does. I could just imagine them lounging around with the pizza and weed, lol.
Hope this means more soon :)
Author's Response: I definitely hadn't abandoned it, but I was very very stuck for a long time! I really enjoy Nick and Howie's relationship, I really do think that back during this time, Howie was the only one in the group Nick was getting along with. The image of the two of them hanging out with pizza and weed is a funny one, lol. I think Nick definitely needs a visit as much as AJ does - hopefully Howie will be able to help him out :) Thanks much for the review, Steph! I'm glad you're still enjoying it. This definitely will mean more soon - the next chapter is already half done :)

Don't feel bad, I haven't updated my fic in almost 15 months. lol Thanks so much for updating. :)
Author's Response: Those super long blocks are the worst! I hope you get your mojo back soon :) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

So because I can't focus on writing, I'd been catching up on this instead. (I really was behind on this, and you updating gave me a great reason to catch up). I'm reminded of all the reasons I loved this story to begin with. The way you seem to get into the Boys' heads, the realistic portrays of how things could've been back then, and simply how well written it is. I'm so glad you're back to this story Steph...no long delays again!
Don't make me drag my ass all the way up to Canada! LOL
Author's Response: Yay for you catching up! Thanks for all the compliments Rose, I'm so happy you think I can get into the boys heads, I try my best to make it realistic! Hopefully we are done with the long delays on this one lol But hey if you want to come up to Canada, I'm not stopping you :P Thanks again for the review!

Yay, I was so excited to see that you finally updated this one!!! And I didn't even have to go back and catch up because I actually remembered what was going on in the story. I love that Howie changed plans and went to see Nick instead of AJ; Nick needed that, even if he won't admit it. Hopefully Howie will be a better influence than douchey Chris. Can't wait to see what those two get up to in Tampa and how the visit with AJ goes! Hope you update again soon!!
Author's Response: Thanks Julie! I'm glad I managed to get an update of this out finally. I really enjoy writing Howie and Nick scenes, so I have had it planned from the beginning that Howie would go see Nick at this point - and I think it makes sense he'd be the only one who would. I think you're right that Nick definitely needs that! I'll try to update again soon :) Thanks again!

Huzzah an update!!! So excited to see you working on this again, I love how you write each of the guys POV on the chapters, its almost like you are living inside their heads. I hope Howie's visit helps Nick because he and AJ need all the help they can get at this point in time. Great chapter, Steph!
Author's Response: Thanks Tracy! I'm glad to be working on it again too :) Sometimes it's a challenge trying to get all the boys thoughts in there lol. I hope Howie is able to help Nick as well. You're right, the AJ and Nick really need all the help they can get! Hopefully they'll come around.
