I hope Nick doesn't dwell too much on the past even though that's where Grace took him. I think he needs to take the good with the bad and think about what Grace is telling him.
Author's Response: I think he doesn't need to dwell so much as see it for what it was. That's Grace's whole plan. Thanks!

It was interesting to see him watching himself be that carefree kid... The kid who just wanted to please everyone. I think that's really how things were honestly judging by Nicks book and what we've seen and or heard as fans. Grace is right it's kind of messed up how they put that on him like that. Great chapter Rose. Sorry for the late review, apparently I am not getting emails when my stories are updated.
Author's Response: It was interesting to write it too. As I was watching the old videos you could tell Nick had been at this for a few years (cause I think he started at 8 if I remember right), and you could tell he really loved performing. I reread Denise's book, Nick's, and that old school bio a bunch so I could try and put together a version of what happened back then. I really do think his mom put that much pressure on him and it's not right. Thanks Tracy!

Aww, this was a sad chapter. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if many conversations like that did take place in those car rides. I got a kick out of Nick telling Grace she wasn't doing a great job with the Carters. I can only imagine her rolling her eyes when she saw how much of a hot mess her 'family' was!LOL Poor dead Grace. Also thanks for enlightening me on life before Kevin and Brian. I have always been too lazy to look up or care about the other two. I never realized that Nick had always been the baby of the group. I don't know why, but I thought one of the rejects used to be.
Author's Response: I wouldn't either. When I was writing this chapter that convo was originally something else but I was like no, Jane would make him feel horrible for an argument he had nothing to do with. LOL I knew when I said Grace was the guardian for that family Nick's response had to be..."well then wtf, why is it a mess?" Cause that'd be my question too. Haha I didn't know you weren't familiar with pre-Kentucky Cousins BSB. I knew the basics but that was a big part of why I dug out Denise's book and the "official" biography from 1997 lol, so I can re-educate myself on it. Nick has always been the youngest which is kinda funny to me. Thanks Mare!

I'm really liking this "rewrite". I liked the other version as well, but I like this whole "Ghost of Christmas Past" kinda thing you got goin on here. I like where its going because I know of all the reserch you put into doing this story and I can't wait to see where all you take us!!
SEE!! I reviewed!! :p
Author's Response: Rewrite and sort of a remix from the original idea LOL. I'm glad you're enjoying my Backstreet Spin on the whole A Christmas Carol thing but without the holiday! LOL. A lot of my video watching and book reading was so I can do my best to really capture the feel of the time periods I'm covering. It's easy to forget the journey since they're so happy now. And yay for reviewing! I'm so proud of you!
