Aww so Nick does give somewhat of a damn
Author's Response: Yeah, even though he's angry at Howie and has every reason to be, it would be hard to erase 20+ years of friendship. A part of him does still care about Howie. Thanks for the reviews!

Well, now that I'm up with a newborn at all hours of the night and morning, I've got some time to read and catch up. These past couple chapters were so well-written. Of course, my favorite part is the fact that Nick 's breaking down at the prospect of losing Howie, and that he went to extremes to save his life, regardless of how angry he might be at him .
Author's Response: Congratulations!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the last couple of chapters. Yes, actions speak louder than words, and I think Nick's actions here show that he doesn't really hate Howie, despite what may say. Thanks for taking the time to review!

I hope there's no lasting damage done. Thank god Nick found him and they took the empty pill bottles to the hospital. If Nick hadn't given him mouth to mouth (which would've made me gag too with the vomit lol) he would've been dead on arrival. Poor Howie. I keep saying that in my reviews, but I'm actually sitting here saying it too, I feel so sorry for everything he's going through :(
Loving this story Julie!
Author's Response: Thanks again, Steph! Yeah, I think the mouth to mouth would have been really gross, but I guess it shows that Nick really does still care about Howie because he did it anyway, rather than let him die.

So, I know that this chapter was supposed to be all serious, but I laughed at Lauren's comment about her having to carry Kevin and at Nick's internal dialogue about wondering whether or not he spelled Howie's last name correctly. :P
My gut instinct is telling me that Howie will pull through and that the whole ordeal will help to bring him and Nick closer together. I suppose I will have to wait and see where you take this though.
In response to your comment on my last review, I could totally see Howie trying to take his own life in a situation like this. Mostly because he feels as though he's destroyed the lives of the people that he loves. If it was only his life that was going to s*** then I couldn't see him going to such extremes.
Author's Response: Thanks! I had to throw a little comic relief in there, so I'm glad you liked those lines. Hopefully you're right. I agree with you; I think it's mainly the fact that he made Holden sick that's tearing him apart inside, but obviously Leigh and Nick too and the fact that they both seem to hate him. That's a lot to handle. Thanks again for the review! :)

I love that you used the 6 miles, 12 lights to his front door line! I really do love that song! (Am I the only one that's noticed that so far? :p)
I am glad that Nick is showing what we know the guy to be...full of compassion. Its totally justifiable for him to be furious with Howie. Good on Lauren on helping him see past that anger. Lauren to the rescue! lol But I'm glad that, if Operation #SaveHowie does work, it looks like Nick and Howie may get closer and help each other thru this. Howie certainly needs the support.
GREAT chapter!!!
Author's Response: You are the first to notice that!! Thanks! :) Yeah, this may have made Nick realize that, despite everything, he really does care about Howie. He doesn't want him to die, anyway! #SaveHowie Thanks for the review, Jen!

LMAO you are so bad with your end notes. #Insensitive. I'm glad Nick got him to the hospital in time but lets see how much damage Howie did to himself. Good on Lauren for telling Nick while yes he's justified in his anger, compassion is needed too. Great chapter! #RedRibbonForHowieAllTheWay
Author's Response: Thanks ZDR! Nick and Lauren save the day! Or did they? Dun dun dun... #AIDSAIDSAIDS #SoIntense

I feel like we need a new hash tag after this chapter #SaveHowie
And happy new year Nick indeed. What a way to ring in the new year. I am glad Nick feels guilty, it is his fault just as much as it is Howies. I had to laugh at the part where they said if it was Kevin they'd be screwed. I also liked that Nick brought Howie to the hospital himself because he didn't want the paparazzi to find out, that won him some brownie points with me. Can't wait for the next chapter, Julie. You're so twisted and I love it.
Author's Response: Thanks Tracy!! This was definitely a wake up call for Nick, seeing Howie like that. I wanted him to be the one who had to deal with it. I think this showed that, despite everything, he does still care about Howie. But will that be enough? #SaveHowie (LOL, love it!)
