I sort of saw the Justin thing coming, but I didn't expect him to be on the one who rejected her. Especially since he was the one to make the first move. He took it there, and backed off far too easily. So does he know something or is it just how he really felt? He truly doesn't have feelings for Mack?
The JC WW3 situation made me a bit emotional..? I don't like seeing them fight and especially not like that. Did he simply not acknowledge how Mack basically confessed her feelings to him? Perhaps he already knew? I did not think things would escalate to the point of her getting physical, but this makes for some more discomfort. And while I don't like it, I'm curious to see how the characters will move forward from this.
Hope you'll update soon. I've missed being on here and have to start feeling my way back in.

Yes, isn't it funny how he was the one to make the move and then (out of nowhere) he was the one to back off? Hmmmm. Sounds fishy to me :P I will tell you that things between her and Justin have always been complicated beneath thier friendship and it will continue to be so until they reach some sort of breaking point. How that turns out is the question.
I don't like seeing them fight either but it was about time that they did otherwise their feelings wouldn't ever come to light properly. Perhaps it wasn't the best way to do so but it pulled the lid off of thier shaken bottle, so to speak. That's the million dollar question, isn't it? It is JC, he could just not know which version of the word 'like' she's using or he ignored it. Who knows? (Well, I do but... ;)) Oh trust me, my *NSYNC rear is in gear so the next update will be fairly soon. Today even, if I don't get too distracted. I've missed being on here as well, hope you come back and write something soon!
Oh my gosh! I wish I could embed all of the happy-excited gifs and emojis ine world right now, I'm so ecxited to see this story at the top of the list of updates! I seriously could not tear my eyes away form this chapter, it was so good start to finish, and the ending was so climactic. The way that Mack and JC just laid everything out there was so intense, their emotions in that moment were so raw, and Mack was so vulnerable. And then when she hit him, God, I felt that in my soul. Ugh, how can they come back from this? Oh my God, this was soooo good!
Author's Response: I'm excited to see that you're still excited for this story! Lol, thanks so much! I'm asking myself that same question, there's going to have to be a lot of making up for them to get back to how they were. If they ever do. Thanks for the review, hope you're doing well!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was the first thing I read after a stressful day at work and it made me smile so big, you have no idea! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
WHAT?! WHAAAAAT?! AHHHH! WTF?! Did you know that we are in SEPTEMBER?! LOL
OMG OMG! Um, let me think, these lines here:
“And I think I know why you said it,” he continued, stopping me from being able to finish my sentence. I lifted my eyebrows, waiting for him to come up with some sort of wrong assump—“Because you like him.”
…Shit.
HA! Thank YOU Lance for having that convo with Mack, I mean, DUH! Mackie has always been so FREAKIN stubborn, she should just ADMIT to JC that she is HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE MAN..I'm sorry for yelling..LMAO!
And Justin, he is just a good friend to speak too, sometimes clueless, but really I can't picture Justin and Mackie together together you know what I mean?? Because there's something about JC, that Mackie and him, they just fit, first of all, they are BOTH stubborn heads, and they both have MAJOR problems admitting their feelings for eachother...UGHH!
This was a REALLY great update! ABOUT FREAKIN TIME! LOL :D
Author's Response:
Why must you always point out how much time it takes for me to update? I feel bad enough already! :P
Lance had to be the one to have the conversation with her, he's the only one who'd take it seriously let's be real. Yeaaahhh, her bull-headedness is really going to get to her one of these days. If not in this chapter, haha! Now see, admitting it is easier said than done. She's super afraid of rejection and being the fact that it's JC...no. Not gonna happen, at least not anytime soon.>:)
They're special, I'll put it that way. Justin and Mack are special. I love writing them in any capacity, they make me smile. Especially when they're getting along. I can see them together and at the same time I can't (if not for my eternal love for JC, heheheh). Now, who said anything about JC having feelings in return for Mack? *wiggles eyebrows* Thanks for the review! I hope to get another one up soon!
