I'm not sure if I'm breaking rules here by reviewing this chapter again, but I wanted to review the chapter rather than the story because you know my thoughts on the story (refresher course: AMAZE-BALLS).

So totally relieved Nick lived. A little scared when you said he was in a wheelchair as I didn't remember you paralysing him.

I was so sad to read about Howie and Leigh. I don't keep up to date with the lives of their wives/girlfriends but Leigh is my favourite (although I do like Kristin and Lauren too) - she just seems incredibly humble and supportive of Howie. I was glad that you didn't make their separation permanent. It was some consolation that he didn't go off on his own and stayed to be closer with Nick (which by the way was too sweet!)

The last conversation in the diner was precious. I think getting back together after that would either be disastrous or the best thing they could do. In the case of BSB, it would definitely be the best thing they could do, especially in Nick's case and even for Howie and Kevin. Loved that you made those three closer.

Just to end: I got a little excited to see you mention that you might have a story with those three as the main characters! Really hope to see that story sometime in the future! In the meantime, keep warm and thanks for the ride!

Author's Response: No rules broken. I have reviews the same hapter more than once myself. I figured because poor Howie had ben hit the hardest mentally that his marriage would suffer, but I could also see them getting back together because of the way she seems to be so supportive of not just Howie but all the guys. As much as I would have loved Leighanne to take a walk, she would never leave Brian. Thanks for all the reviews, Jess! I realy do hope I get around to writing that story as well. I have a mental picture of what I want to do just not sure if I want it present day or old school. Either way It wouldn't happen until my summer break. (June):O)

This was really sweet! Love the big brotherly thing going on here! Waiting for the next update.

Author's Response: Aww thanks, Jess! :O)

CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 100!! That's an awesome achievement in 10 chapters! I hope this has convinced you to keep going :)

I was waiting for this chapter! I knew Nick was bound to be taken at some point (unless he hasn't been taken and you're throwing us off again...I never know what to expect lol) I was a little annoyed at Howie in this chapter - although he is justified in his concerns.

Btw, forgot to ask: a few reviews ago you mentioned you were annoyed at BSB...I might be out of the loop? What have they done this time? lol

Can't wait for the next update but enjoy your holiday!!

Author's Response: Thanks!! I know, I have been pretty surprised (pleasantly) by the review count for this story. Annoyed with Howie? I don't remember what he did. I might have to go back and read lol As far as BSB, I've had a love/hate relationship with them for awhile now. Nothing they have done specifically just being overpriced and non accessible to fans who can't afford to buy their love! Also this whole Nick and New Kid thing. Ugh! LOL Thanks, Jess! :O)

I have had the WORST week! So coming on here and finding you posted this story was just what I needed!!

Loved Howie in this chapter! I can honestly see him doing something like that - going out of his way for Nick just seems like something he would do. And Kevin not wanting to take Nick seems like something that HE would do lol. I'm actually kinda glad that Brian and AJ won't be around that much in this story - I'm not really interested in story-lines around those two.

Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I'm sorry you were having a bad week. If it makes you feel any better, mine had been pretty terrible too! I agree about Howie. He just seems like a kind, warm guy who has always been there for Nick. We know it wasn't that way with Kevin at first. Thanks for the review!

I knew he'd turn up! I really can't wait to find out how Nick is going to respond to them knowing about Donald.

Author's Response: Aww thanks Jess! You won't have to wait too long. Well...as long as my computer doesn't decide to be stupid like it has been. You'll see this weekend! :O)

Ohh really interested to know what Howie knows! Nick and Kevin sharing a room should produce hilarious results (or tragic ones lol) Awesome update! Looking forwards to more!

Author's Response: Thanks, Jess! And just so you know, Brothers is going to be the featured story in June on the site and they'll be a thread opened about it on the forum. :O)

So I'm behind on reading and reviewing! Loved the last line in this chapter - makes me think this is more than just a relaxing holiday away. Lol at Nick complaining about the room - if I was Kevin I would have done the same thing lol!

Author's Response: Hope your thesis is going well? As far as Kevin, I probably would have done the same thing as well! Thanks, Jess! And also thanks for being my 30th review. There was something about 29 that was bugging me! lmao

Ahh! This is why I don't usually read incomplete fanfics....the suspense! I'm thinking there's a connection between the abuse thing hinted at last chapter and Howie's revelation this chapter - psycho Bob on the loose maybe?? Great chapter! I would be pissed too if the people I was on holiday with made plans without me! Especially on the first night! Oh well...looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: I would be mega annoyed too if I were Nick. I have a feeling this used to happen to him a lot when he was younger. Hrmm...psycho Bob? Could be...sorry about the suspense. Sometimes you just need those dun dun dun moments. LOL Thanks, Jess!

LMAO at the pizza thing! That is something that I would do just to piss someone off lol Eeek at the whole distant relative thing though. I like how you're not explicit about anything just yet - I think it adds to the drama. Can't wait for the weekend! (For a new chapter, not because I'm doing anything particularly exciting lol)

Author's Response: Remind me to never get you mad! Lol thanks, Jess! Glad to know you're looking forward to the next update.

I'm sorry it took me so long to read and review! Good news...I finished my thesis!! Finally!

Anyways, to more important things...do NOT start having doubts! I need to know where this story is going! I noticed that you're really good with actually finishing stories so I'm hoping you keep this one going!

So Kevin is shitting me lol Although he kind of redeemed himself at the end there. I feel so bad for Nick. I can't imagine having parents like that! Can't wait for the next update! You better *shakes fist*

Author's Response: Congrats on finishing your thesis! You must be really relieved!! No worries, I do feel like I might be slumping on this story a bit. I'm having some trouble channeling the guys on this one, but it will be updated today in fact. My concern is when I do catch up to myself. I have 9 written and am posting chapter 7 today. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into BSB channeling mode.I think they just need to stop pissing me off! LOL Thanks, Jess!

Just got back from Sydney which is why I'm behind in reviewing! I have a feeling something bad is going to happen on the boat such as that crazy relative showing up on a speedboat and kidnapping Nick or something. This is what is so great about reading your stories when you haven't actually finished it yet: I get to speculate! Will read and review the next chapter later today or tomorrow!

Author's Response: Welcome back! And I love the speculation! You'll find out if you're right in this next chapter lol Thanks, Jess!

Eeek! When I read how he sexually assaulted that child and got out early because he wasn't found guilty of the attempted murder, I was peeved because it sounds like something that would actually happen in real life. Rolph Harris only got 5 years (3 years good behaviour) for molestation! Argh! Hope he gets beat in jail. Anyways, rant over.

I knew this story would take a dark turn somewhere lol I think they best thing about this chapter is how you described Nick's behaviour towards this creep. It's like his loneliness has convinced him to be naive to the fact that they guy is a creep! Can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: I have no idea who Rolph Harris is but yes, those kinds of cases happen all the time with pretty much the same results, sadly.

It's sad but I also think it's true of kids like Nick in this story, who feel neglected by their own parents, to think that maybe this guy would be more of a friend than an enemy, which is what those jerks prey on in the first place. Thanks for the review, Jess!

Hope your holiday went well!

I could feel the anxiety in this chapter and it was making me nervous lol I was expecting Nick to pop up somewhere with a 'hey guys, where have you been?' but I guess that was too much to hope for.

I love how Kevin came to realise how he felt about the other guys. It is true that you only realise what you have when it's gone (or at least you think it's gone).

Author's Response: It was very short, but nice. Thanks for asking! I'm glad I made you anxious! That was fully the intent! :OP And your last line is so true! You really don't realize all the things you have until they are gone! Thanks, Jess!

I'm about as consistent with my reviewing as I am with updating stories - not very.

Kevin's flashback thingy and his relationship with Jerald - I thought it was perfect that he was a little put off by Jerald's anger only to act the same way with Nick.

Author's Response: Thanks, Jess. Just happy to know you're still reading. I thought the parellel with Kevin & his brother and Nick & Kevin would be fun to explore especially since I really know nothing about them. lol

LOL Howie winking at his mum made me laugh. I'm totally in love with him in this story haha

It's nice to see Kevin pulling his head in.If Howie wasn't in this story I would be very concerned for Nick's wellbeing lol

Sorry about the late reviews. I've been very busy lately. I will read and review the next chapter tomorrow (it's just past midnight here!)

Author's Response: I love Howie too! No worries, Jess. I've been pretty busy too. I wrote maybe three sentences all week. Lol
