I feel sad for Nick. Its like he lost a best friend. I hope Nick realized why Grace showed him this part of his life. Cant wait to read more Rose
Author's Response: Awww well in a way he did. Thanks!

Grace is a smart one...showing him what happened BEHIND the scenes..stuff he didn't hear/see...he really needs that right now. The very end of this chapter had me in near tears. Every chapter you have written seems like its EXACTLY what happened. Nice job at writing this so realistically!!! Loving it!!
Author's Response: Yup. There'll be more but she not only needs to remind him of what he's seen or done, she needs to be sure he knows what he didn't see back then. Awww I didn't mean to upset you! Though tears do fuel my torture lmao. Thanks Jen! That means a lot :)

I like how you're showing Kevin being supportive of Nick even if he doesn't realize it. I think that Kevin usually gets portrayed as the one who's hardest on everyone. I also wanted to smack AJ and Brian in the head and tell them to knock it off!
Author's Response: Kevin does but I think he's the hardest on them because he cares the most. I used to want to smack Brian and AJ a LOT during 2002 lol. Aren't we lucky things got better? Thanks!

I love Brian to death but I wanted to slap him and AJ especially for this scene right here. Poor Nick. I mean it's bad enough your best friend drifted away and now he is talking to you like this. I really
did feel bad for him though. I am also happy he got to see the rest of the conversation between the guys and find out how they felt because I think that is just what Nick needed to hear. Kevin and Howie always seemed the most supportive of him and I feel like that is true in real life as well. Great chapter again Rose. Hope for another update again soon.
Author's Response: Sadly Brian wasn't always there and neither was AJ. Facts of the fandom, sad as it is. Kevin and Howie are awesome, period. Lol thanks Tracy!

Aw this chapter made me so angry! Please tell me that Brian really didn't call his album a joke? Because I already want to stab him in the face for all the real things he did and said back then. lol And AJ! Gah! I hated that those two weren't supportive of him. See? That's why I always have a hard time buying into this Brian and Nick were always best friends crap because Brian's part always seemed conditional! Like I love Nick as long as he's not doing something stupid and embarrassing me and living up to the standards I set for him.
Thank God for Kevin and Howie! I said it back then and I'm saying it now! Stabbity stab!! :O)
Author's Response: Brian did a radio interview around the Now or Never era. I couldn't find it and I can't for the life of me remember exactly what he'd said. I know it was derogatory but beyond that no idea. So I winged it. Which was annoying cause I really wanted to use what was really said. I did find an article claiming Nick felt like Brian was trying to push him out cause of NON (mind you it was popdirt so reliability issues lol). Everything was tense back then. Brian was definitely not supportive during this time though which could be why "Nick fans" and "Brian fans" fight so much to this day LOL. AJ was in fact not supportive at ALL. He went to a show and basically trashed Nick for doing it to begin with, one of the more reliable fans in the fandom told me about that years ago. So I used it here. I think Nick and Brian were besties up until Leighanne, that's when everything started getting weird.
Kevin and Howie were amazing. Looking back Howie was incredibly supportive as was Kevin. They're the best.
