Nick reacted exactly like I expected him to. My heart is breaking for poor Howie at this point. I know that Nick's behaviour was completely warranted given the news that Howie delivered, but I just kept waiting for Nick to lose some of his edge and realize that what Howie just did was incredibly hard for him. It's killing me to see their relationship falling apart like this! I better not have to wait ages to find out Nick's results!!! Excellent update!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you found Nick's reaction believable. I feel for Howie, too. He made a mistake, but it's not like he knew THIS was going to happen. Poor guy! It's sad to see them at odds with each other, but I love the angst too! You will not have to wait too long to find out Nick's results.

I'm impressed Nick didn't punch him LOL. Poor Howie. I'm starting to wonder who infected who but even if it WAS Nick who gave it to Howie...it's Howie's fault. He knew he was taking advantage of a completely trashed Nick and went too far. So if Howie hadn't done that he wouldn't be in this mess. (Well if it was Nick who passed it along, if it was the other way at least his bandmate/bro wouldn't hate him). And LOL I got a good laugh last chapter at all the OMG NO moments that a HIV positive person shouldn't be doing.

If Nick has it, Lauren probably does...EVERYONE HAS AIDS! LOL

Author's Response: LOL He wanted to! I'm going to address the "who infected who?" issue in an upcoming chapter because there have been a LOT of theories about that. Most people are thinking Nick actually gave it to Howie at this point. Only time will tell... :) AIDS AIDS AIDS! Thanks, ZDR!

OMG, I'm gotten hooked on this fic. I've registered on this site just to give my two cents on it. 95% of what I read is slash so I had to check this out. I agree that the more realism a fic has, the better it is. This fic makes me feel like crying and laughing because although this HIV outbreak is devastating, I can breathe a sigh of relief and jump for joy that it's just make believe. ^_^
I had to hold onto my seat with Howie's revelations with Leigh and Nick. Poor babies, I feel so bad for the Doroughs. Leigh is betrayed by her unfaithful husband and Howie has to be the bearer of bad news and trying to keep his family from falling apart. And he's not even sure if he's entirely straight. You just can't help but feel bad for Sweet D even though it was his fault what happened to Holden. The layers of angst are giving me chills in a great way. =D

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review! I'm flattered that you joined the site just so you could leave me one! I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I have never read much slash, and this is my first time writing it (even though it *barely* qualifies at this point, I'd say LOL), so it's really cool to have slash readers jumping on board! And yes, thank goodness it's only make believe LOL. I'm glad you're enjoying all the angst and that you feel for Howie. He messed up, but it's not like he did it on purpose, poor guy! Thanks again for reading and taking the time to review. I really appreciate it!

Ok the line "Don't ever call me Nicky" made me so sad, and I don't even know why :( Nick has every right to be mad BUT I am over here wondering if Nick was the one who gave it to him. that is my theory anyways lol. I am team Howie right now. Poor guy cant catch a break :(

Author's Response: Aww... it's sad to see Nick hurt Howie, but oh so fun to write! You know I love the drama. A lot of people have that theory, that Nick actually infected Howie. It will be addressed at some point in the story. Yay Team Howie! LOL Thanks, Tracy!!

Howie telling his family at Thanksgiving to gather /prepare himself no doubt himself how he would tell Nick was a brilliant idea on this already twisted fic lol. At first when you had his mother put her hand on her heat I thought OMG she's gonna take out
Howie's poor mother lol.

Yup I knew was gonna blow a gasket with Howie's
bombshell. He had sympathy, denial and the rage
within a split second. Howie put him over the edge when he offered to go with him to a clinic to get a
rapid HIV test.

The mystery continues on was the *infector*

Author's Response: Haha, aww, I'm not that cruel to kill Howie's poor mama! As if giving his baby AIDS wasn't bad enough! I loved reading your reactions to both scenes! Thanks!!

Aw poor Howie :( I know Nick has every right to be angry, but what if he gave it to Howie and not the other way around. I have all these ideas on who gave it to who, but which one will be the right guess I wonder?

Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: Thanks, Steph! I'm going to clear this question up in a future chapter because I know a lot of you are wondering if it could have been the other way around. Who gave it to who? Stay tuned!

Well..THAT was emotional as hell..lol But I expected this reaction..seriously.

But with you Julie, knowing you and your twisted mind, I can't help but have this nagging feeling..that maybe, just MAYBE, a twist in plot that Nick gave it to HIM instead of vise versa. I dunno...maybe just a little plot twisting in my own deranged brain...lol

Loved the chapter tho! Nicely done!! Now..waiting for Nick's results are gonna kill me!! Don't keep us waiting long!!!

Author's Response: Hehe, thanks Jen! I'm glad it lived up to your expectations! A lot of people are thinking it was really Nick who had it first... interesting! I guess it seems more likely that he'd get infected with an STD than Howie, huh? LOL
