Sorry Steph, I just noticed this chapter! Love that Beatles song.
Great chapter. I think Chris is a bad influence on Nick and just wants some of the fame to rub off on himself. Love that song Nick did in karaoke.
Good to hear that AJ is doing well, wonder how the family day will go?
Author's Response: No worries, Steph, we have all been busy the last few days! I'm glad you liked the chapter. Chris is a bad influence on Nick for sure, I think you are right about him wanting the fame to rub off on him. I'm excited to write the part with AJ :) Thanks for the review!

First off, love the lyrics at the top. Very appropriate :) I loved the beginning moment with the guys and thought it was funny Brian mentioned that one other quiet moment they had. LOL. It's just funny that it was just that "one other time." I liked the insight during Howie's part as well. And wow, Nick is really struggling. I wonder if he'll come clean with the guys or if they'll go to him to try to help. Can't wait to see how the visit with AJ will be!
Author's Response: I listen to a lot of music and certain songs just inspire me for the scenes I'm writing, so I'm glad you liked the lyrics! LOL @ their one other quiet moment. They have had very crazy lives, that's for sure! Nick is definitely having a very hard time, and I think he's also having a hard time with admitting that to himself. We'll have to see what happens with him and the others. I'm excited to write the AJ part. Thanks for the review, Sel! :)

Yay, you finished your chapter! I loved it! Nick's part was hilarious, as always... how did I know he was gonna do a Journey song for karaoke, especially Don't Stop Believin LOL. Classic. I think it's funny how you write Brian too, totally submissive to Leighanne LOL. And I love the idea of the guys all going to see AJ soon; can't wait to see how that goes. Keep it up! :)
Author's Response: LOL I thought that Nick and doing Journey for karaoke just fit for some reason :P I'm excited for all the guys to go visit AJ! Thanks Julie, I'm so happy you liked it :)

Great chapter Steph. Loved the quiet time at the beginning and how hard it was for any of them to even remember being able to have a few minutes to themselves. ALso loved Nick's part lol his logic kills me sometimes. Nice to see they are all going to visit AJ. Looking forward to reading all about it. :O)
Author's Response: Thanks Mare! Yeah Nick does have some crazy logic lol. I'm looking forward to writing about them going to visit AJ :)

Aw yay. I know when AJ was in rehab that Brian called him every day to say he loved him and to stay strong. :) That's true friendship and brotherhood. Great update.
Author's Response: Awww really? That is so sweet of Brian! Thanks for the review, glad you liked it :)

Nick is really crazy! I hope he slow things out. And I'm so happy that A.J. is doing fine! I can't wait to see what happens next :D
Author's Response: Thanks Victoria! Nick is definitely really crazy LOL! I'm glad AJ is doing fine too :)

Great chapter as always! Loved Nick singing "Don't Stop Believin" LOL. Hopefully going to see AJ will be a good thing...and Brian just isn't understanding Leighanne. Loved this chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks Tracy! LOL I tried to find a youtube video of Nick singing that, but there isn't one :(

Lots of funny stuff in this chap! Lol at the Smirnoff Ice prank. Poor Howie having to deal with a goofy Nick. And I was cracking up at Brian laughing at Howie being all serious with his pie charts. I can totally see that. Great job :)
Author's Response: Thanks Sel! Yeah, this was a fun one! Poor Howie always getting pranked by Nickers LOL. I'm glad you liked it!

Aww I loved the boys bonding time and had to smile at Howie saying they were out without the kids :) Poor AJ though, wonder how he's doing.
Author's Response: Thanks Steph :) I always enjoy writing about the boys bonding time. We will be hearing about AJ soon.. ;)

I think Nick acted a little weird for leave so soon. I'm glad that the guys went out for a while! Next :)
Author's Response: Yup Nick is definitely acting weird. It was good for the guys to have some time together to relax, I think. They needed some cool off time! Thanks Victoria :)

Another great update. Poor Nick is more affected by this break than he's letting on. I have a feeling that things are going to get worse for him. I do wonder how AJ would've been doing at this point. On a recent radio interview, he said that he was in detox for less than 24 hours. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I agree, Nick is more affected than he may realize himself even. AJ will show up in the story in time, I've had some stuff with him in it planned out since the beginning. There will definitely be more soon!

I usually don't enjoy reading about Howie that much, but I think I like him so much in this story because I like his relationship with Nick, the way Nick picks on him and he calls Nick "Nicky." I've always loved that. So these parts where he's focused on Nick and worrying about him, I love. I think you're doing a great job with Howie!
Author's Response: I'm the same way, I love the Nick and Howie relationship. And yeah, I have loved that Howie calls Nick "Nicky" as well. Thanks so much, Julie! I appriciate it mucho :)

Yay for another update so quickly! I loved it! Poor Nick... I'm a little worried about him, going back to Chris instead of hanging out with the other guys. Wonder what kind of trouble he's going to get himself into... I feel like you're setting it up for something. I love the different ways you write all the guys, but I'm finding I'm especially loving Nick and Howie in this one. Can't wait for more; keep it up, Steph!
Author's Response: Thanks Julie! I was on a little roll this weekend, and it continued into Monday, so yay for that! Poor Nick indeed.. :( He is definitely in for some trouble down the road. I'm really glad to hear you like Howie in this story, because I think I'm probably the least confident in writing his POV.

Poor Howie can't escape being pranked for long!
It would've been so interesting to actually be there at the time to hear what they said about the greatest hits CD being put out.
Great chapter Steph!
Author's Response: LOL poor Howie is such an easy target for Nick! It definitely would have been interesting to hear what they had to say about the greatest hits stuff. Thanks Steph :) Glad you liked it!

Another great update. I loved:
Brian laughed and leaned over to the intercom. “Tampa Bay Bucs, Saturday Night Live and Super Mario Brothers Three.”
“God dammit, Brian!” Was all we heard Nick say before he buzzed us in.
LOL. And its interesting with Nick drinking and Howie and Kevin bringing it up. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the intercom joke :) Yeah it is interesting that both of them noticed Nick's drinking on two separate occasions. We'll have to see where it goes... ;) Thanks for the review! I'll be writing more over the break so there will be more soon!
