I never really thought about the 100 hour tour footage like that before or the MTV Diary either. I had no clue back then that anything was going on with the guys because I didn't talk online with other fans. So for me the whole AJ going to rehab thing and Kevin leaving was a huge shock that I never saw coming. I sometimes wonder what being on forum back then was like, all the rumors etc. Cause I can tell now there was some tension but back then I didn't have a clue.I feel like this is very accurate. Loved
The chapter. Can't wait for the next one Rose!

Author's Response: Rewatching old footage made me realized they used a LOT of the same stuff for different specials, the vhs, etc. It made me wonder if the reason that happened was because there was just so much that had to be edited out. Given AJ's problems and the tense feelings in the group, it made sense to me. I wasn't on the forums then so I wonder too. Looking back there were a lot of signs we missed. Thanks Tracy!

I teach and I've seen a lot of kids have to be the adults in their households and it's not fair. No wonder why Nick's acting out now, he never got the chance to be a kid.

Author's Response: Exactly. Nick was forced to grow up WAY too fast. I majored in psychology and it explains a lot of Nick's behavior.

Aww, This is my least favorite time period for them. I really do believe that a lot of that stuff in interviews, and that documentary was edited. I will never ever forget the image of Nick crying on TRL when they announced AJ going into rehab. I barely knew who they were at that time but I wanted to hug him when I saw how sad he was. I'm glad I wasn't a full fledged fan back then because it would have broken my heart. Nice take on the broken wrist. I don't think I've ever read that scenario before.

Author's Response: Mine too. It was really just a horrible period and amazing they didn't break up for good. I do believe they probably had to edit a LOT out back then. Cause up till the announcement everything seemed okay. I bawled like a baby when I heard AJ was going into rehab. It was a sad time, really depressing. As for the wrist I've seen a few theories on how Nick broke it and many felt AJ did it. But this I don't know, I felt like it was better if he was trying to stop them in the ways he never tried with his parents. Thanks Mare!

Ugh i compeltely forgot about Mandy..how i hated her so much. She was so terrible for him! If i wrote a fic in the early days i would always have something bad happen to her lol.

And I remember when they went onto MTV about AJ's stuff. I was supposed to go to the second leg of the B&B tour...my venue in Tacoma, Wa was cancelled and they couldnt reschedule it =(

This story is taking me down memory lane of my teenage years lol. I LOVE this story Rose!

Author's Response: LOL I've been going back in time to really remember everything that was going on in different time periods. I wasn't a big fan of her either. :(, B&B was a really bad time in the fandom. It makes you appreciate just how much things have changed. Thanks!
