aww i feel so bad for Abbey, and Matty, he's such a brave kid! I just wanna hug him!
I happy that Nick told Lauren and that she's so supportive of him!
Can't wait for the next update!!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Matty does seem rather squishable/huggable. Update coming soon. :)

Lauren is being an angel. I don't know if I could be that supportive!
Author's Response: Me either. I think I'd freak out. It'd be really hard to stand by. But the situation is a tough one. He really did change a lot between when it happened and the current day version of him. We'll see what goes down soon.

This was a wonderfully emotional chapter! I don't know who Phil is but he maybe my new favorite character. I actually LOL'ed at that part.
Author's Response: Haha Phil's just the random old guy Abbey says hi to in the hallway, that's all. He isn't like any relation. Or is he? ...dundundun... kidding, lol. Glad to bring a bit of humor to an otherwise tissue-fest.

I just caught up on the last two chapters. All I have to say, is: Phil is amazing!! Bahahahaha! LOVE IT!
Author's Response: LOL Yay Phil! Old dude's gettin' some loooove... haha

Whahaha, I love Phil! Brilliant comment!
I hope Nick won't use that parachute..
Author's Response: LOL I figured someone needed to have Abbey's back in this, and Phil kept coming up off and on so who better? haha... We'll see about the parachute. Only time will tell.

Matty needs a miracle and Abbey and Nick need each other.
Author's Response: Ah yes, a miracle is indeed needed! It's funny how miracles come in all shapes and sizes and ways, huh? We'll see how/if a miracle comes along. :) Thanks for the review.

I woke up in the middle or the night (it's almost two am here) and had to go online to see if you updated. Yay for updates!
And a great one too. I'm quietly putting my hands together and applauding Nick for going to the hospital. I'm so happy you're writing this story. Update ;)
Author's Response: Oh wow! That's dedication. LOL I hope you got some sleep after you read the chapter. Yay Nick for doing the right thing! But will he keep making good choices? Hmm...

I kinda expected Nick to keep Matty a secret from Lauren for a good while! LOL. I can't wait to see how this all plays out, especially for Abbey ... poor girl has so much to deal with!
Author's Response: haha I think in most stories like this he probably would've kept it a secret for about 90% of the story, but I've got a different kind of twist in store. ;)

Love how different this story is so far! Really hoping for another update soon!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it!...I tend to update relatively quickly on stories, so stay tuned. I plan to update at least once more today. Thanks for the review!
Date: 11/11/13 08:53 pm Title: Chapter Seven / 2013
Intense chapter! I can't blame him for running of after the news hit home. I'm surprised he's already telling Lauren. Can I somehow convince you to update again soon? ;)
Author's Response: I'll definitely update at least once more before the night's over. ;)

He has a lot to lose but it seems like he has an awful lot to gain. Hopefully he figures that out.
Author's Response: Hopefully so! Get with the program, Carter!! ;)

You're right, this isn't a traditional Nick story. :) Strangely, Nick eliminating the "best" from his description of his friendship with Brian is what got to me the most. Eagerly awaiting the next update!!
Author's Response: I try not to write traditional stories at all. I find traditional boring. Luckily, my brain works in twisty ways to bring on the crazy. There's a lot of places this story's going to touch before it's over and Brian and Nick's friendship happens to be one of them (which is one of the main reasons I chose VSD to be the condition Matty's got). Hope you enjoy the next update -- 'tis up!
Date: 11/11/13 06:53 pm Title: Chapter Six / 2013
Oh my, can't wait to see what that conversations going to be like!
Author's Response: Gonna be an interesting one, that's for certain. ;)

My heart breaks for Abbey. Having a heart condition is awful and puts so much stress on everyone. As for Nick, I hope he figures out exactly how he feels before making a mistake.
Author's Response: Nick's got a lot of thinking to do before the end of this story... It was a tough choice what to use for Matty's condition. I ended up going with heart condition for reasons yet to be revealed. It's hard no matter what a child is sick with. My nephew was born premature and my entire family spent a couple months hanging around a children's hospital ICU as a result and it's amazing the people you meet in a place like that.

It's sad that Nick feels the way he does. Maybe he's not as ready as he thinks. The situation with Matty and his mom makes me want to cry.
