Thanks! I really enjoyed writing that story and had a lot of fun with it. It was a challenge to make it understandable for those who haven't read the first story (which is basically everyone lol) but I sort of had to with putting it on a separate website and all that. I wasn't even going to post it at all actually, but I'm glad I did because a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

Time to check in once again.

To answer my question, I think I enjoy and relate to Howie the most in this story. I feel for him and how torn he is with enjoying the break but yet seeing everyone drift. He is scared to death for Nick and cares so much but at the same time he's not really quite sure how to handle it. I think we've all been there before.

My least favorite is Brian. His parts of the chapters just seem to make me mad. LOL Actually i'm sure a lot of it has to do with his wife.

As much as I want to hate Nick in this, I can't. I know he's in crisis mode so I try to overlook the douchey behavior.

Here's another question: What are your favorite interactions within the story?

Personally I LOVE when Nick and Howie or Nick and Kevin interact. Especially Nick and Howie in this one. You really get to see their special bond. Nick really takes Howie for granted and I do think that's how it was for him when he was younger. You do a great job with that, Saka!

^ I also love Nick and Howie's interactions the best.  The Nick/Howie relationship is so interesting to me because Howie puts up with so much shit from Nick, you can tell how much he cares about him.  And Nick loves and needs Howie, too, even if he doesn't realize it at this point in his life in the story.  If that's not a brotherly relationship, I don't know what is.  It's fun to read a story like this that paints a pretty accurate picture of what their relationship was probably like at this point in time and then look at the two of them now.  It seems like Nick and Howie have gotten a lot closer over the years and are actually good friends now.

Aw thanks guys! I definitely love writing Nick and Howie the most. Even though Nick is a huge douche in the story, I feel like since Howie's just so mellow with him and doesn't talk down to him, Nick is warmer to him than he is with the others. I really love how Nick and Howie have become so close in recent years and I do try to reflect that they must have had a bond back then as well.

Also, if I recall correctly Howie was the only one who went to visit Nick on the set of Help Me, so I sort of used that as my inspiration for Howie being the only one Nick was really close to and worked a little backwards from that.

You can tell Nick loved him some Howie! lol And that Howie really cares for the well being of Nick.

[RokofAges75]

Yeah, you can tell Howie has always been super supportive of Nick, no matter what he does.

Today is the last day of the month so now's the time to get your last comments and questions in to Saka!

I really do love this story, Steph. I just hope you get back to updating it soon!

[Sakabelle]

Thanks Mare! And thanks much to everyone reading this story. I know I am really sporadic with updates but I really do appreciate people sticking with this one and how much everyone who reads it seems to enjoy it
