First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

 I think the whole thing with Sydney is some type of act. She had to know that Trace was stealing moVey from Justin, heck she probaly put him up to it since he did it before. IF she really wanted to provide for Kristy she'd take any job - and slapping her daughter just because she wanted to stay and play - that's uncalled for. I forgot about the cocaine... *gasp* Abbey could be on to something, WHAT IF Sydney WAS somehow using Trace to steal money from Justin - nah that could't be what's going on. So Abbey finally said those 3 words -- hope it doesnt scare Justin away.

Happy Birthday Love!  I hope you enjoyed yourself today and thank you for thinking of others (us) on your most special day; that was really thoughtful of you.

These last couple chapters have been a rollercoaster of drama but you were right, it didn't go the way I thought it would have.  And I had the sneaking suspicion that there was more to this whole Trace stealing thing than I originally thought.  That damn Sydney!  I hope she gets it (like really gets it).  I'm glad that Abbey admitted that she loves him and I know he loves her, he wouldn't be so terrified of her leaving if he didn't.  Just admit it and move on dude. LOL!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, going through a personal tragedy right now but we're hanging in there.  To see you've been updating regularly has been a real treat for me.  These chapters are awesome and you're amazing as usual.

oooh! Quick update =) I hate that Trace used Justin only to get ahead. Its as if there whole friendship was based on a lie. The conversation between Abbey and Justin seemed like it would turn sour. I'm glad Austin's team won the game. I could just imagine how that would turn out if his team didn't win. Dang paparazzi - that's all I can really say about them. I'm glad Abbey trusts Justin but I wish she would open up to him, then again he hasn't opened up to her all the way either.

Goodness, I wasn't expecting Abbey's "dead" boyfriend to be alive. I liked what was going on with her and Justin. Now if Braeden gets out alive - i hope he dosen't come in between Justin and Abbey because he wanted her to be happy and she seems like she can be happy with Justin and his brothers.

 I was shocked to find out that Trace was involved in some shady business, although I knew there was a reason I didn't like him. (That reason grew even more when he threatened Abbey at the rest stop.)

Oh!! My mouth dropped and then a huge grin spread across my face when I read that Justin kissed abbey in front of everyone before their roadtrip.

The line Austin said about their mom always having justin [picture] with her choked me up.

I love that justin is bonding with his brothers and i hope it continues. and the breakthrough between abbey and justin? I loved it!!! It's got to be my favorite part so far.

 I can't wait for the next  update!!

i started reading this story 2 or 3 nights ago. (not exactly sure how many days but it was earlier this week) At first I was angry with Justin and only read 1 chapter. The next night I knew i wanted to continue even though I was angry with him - i wanted to see what happens. I'm so glad I didn't give up on this story. I'm definitely hooked. I love how Abbey is so good with the boys and has an affect on Justin. I was surprised, to say the least, when Justin kissed Abbey. I can't wait to read more.
